Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
Bump. This thread is extremely useful.
Also, I'd like an answer to a related question, if possible. At what rate do homin children mature? Same as humans, or...? I mean, how fast do they grow, and approximately at what age (in Jena Years) would it be appropriate for a child to become a playable alt? Quote:

Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
Didn't you asked this before, Jel. Why not play your child alt when you want to, playing the appropriate age - given that you do remember their birthday? :)

Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
I just don't want to make an assumption, then turn out to be incorrect if/when the official information is released. XD
Problem with homin aging rate = human aging rate, is that it would take two RL years for a child to reach age 12 (1JY = 2 RL months). So I'm wondering if Nevrax has already established that homin children age faster than that, but just haven't said anything about it to us. |
Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
Ooops, I hadn't read Shaddoweb's updated version relating JY to RL year, rather than Atys day to RL day.
Well at least that makes me younger than I thought I was :D |
Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
This is great info. I always like to know how the game world relates to ours.
So if a Jena year is equivalent to an in-game Earth year, game time runs six times faster than real time (as is the case with most MMOs). So Atys revolves around its star in just over 3 Earth months. So would that mean that Atys was closer to its sun than the Earth is (causing the planet to rotate around its sun faster) and the sun's emitted light was weaker (perhaps a white dwarf)? Or would it mean that the gravitational pull of the Atys sun was stronger, causing the planets to rotate around it faster at a greater distance? Sorry, but I love to think through these tiny details. |
Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
Since this thread is a sticky, and since this is definitely on topic, I feel the following belongs here:
NAMES OF THE DAYS ------------------------------------ On Atys there are six days per week: Prima Dua Tria Quarta Quinteth Holeth (day of graces whatever the religion) NAMES OF THE MONTHS ------------------------------------ The seasons remain the same and are cut out by groups of three months: Spring (month finishing by -ly) Winderly Germinally Folially Summer (month finishing by -is) Floris Medis Thermis Autumn (month finishing by -or) Harvestor Frutor Fallenor Winter (month finishing by -ia) Pluvia Mystia Nivia |

Re: Some Questions and answers on life on Atys and roleplaying
To correct you slightly, a Jena Year is 72 RL days, so game time is just over 5 times faster than RL. Regarding Atys astronomy, beeryusa, I think you'll find this thread interesting : Names of the "moons". Particularly onwards from pr0ger's post on page 2.
Hehe *points up at Katriell's sig* But that's a different thread :D |

Interesting stuff. Now I'm going to have to spend some time looking at the sky and really trying to figure this stuff out. |
