Those maps were added as alternatives based on discussions made in this topic http://forums.warppo...homun-leveling/
All selected maps were benchmarked at some point. Although we have never gotten enough people to anywhere. I have tried afk leveling in all those places at some point and I liked Ein field 05 the most and I was thinking that it was the most popular even though it has some flaws as are mentioned. I still like to keep my 3 accounts at Ein field 5 with 2 of them afk and one roaming around once in a while.
I kept the amount of alternatives as low as I could so the votes wouldn't have spread out with too many different maps and we wouldn't have gotten even the minimum amount of votes to any of those maps >_> I added the Juno 07 at the last minute because so many people were still thinking it would be good. I know it's probably too large as is Juno 04 too (unfortunately, being realistic). I used to afk level at Juno 04 when there were still people frequently leveling their characters (some point after renewal) but now the map is always deserted. It would be a good afk map for the reasons you mentioned but I recall some people saying it would be too difficult to some homun and the biggest problem again -> we can't get enough people there even though it's even faster to go to than the freakin' Orc Dungeon!
I think the main point of that poll is to get 20 - 30 votes to any of those maps per server so people would actually know there is a good amount of people that might join and they all could move from OD with confidence that they wouldn't need to be on some random map alone again. If this poll thing actually works we can have more polls in the future as long as we have a strong movement of needed amount of people going on If we could at least get this to work once we have hope that it could work a second time with different maps and so on.
So far we have 17 votes - thank you for your votes! It's really nice to see that people are participating in this thing :3
Actually, realistically 04 isn't too big, as it is in orc dungeon there's 3-4 alchys piled up ontop of each other step after step, if anything there'd be more room to spread out and more breathing space -- which is what most of the people fail to see. Even during WoE it's swarmed! Also @ Chorolus, I've already tried moscovia 3, it didn't work out so well, I got a ton of people to go. By a ton of people I mean I basically sent all of orc dungeon there, people hated it. I honestly think turtle island or yuno 04 would be the best out of any of the ones that have been mentioned. Due to the quick accessability, frequent spawn rates, and the size of the maps.
Plus the fact that mobs don't explode, I know ein seems good, but I can see the exploding being a huge problem, especially for afking. With enough people the spawn rates would be fast enough on the other 2 maps to easily compare to it too. I think the quickest way to get people to switch maps, which this is what I did with moscovia is just get a few people, go to orc dungeon, put down a portal and tell people where it goes to, and that you'd like to try it out as an alternate afk spot. Which is why it kind of sucks you can't just warp people to turtle island surface. If there's enough people running around yelling it and warping, people will be more eager to join -- I for one would help warp people on my priest if anyone would like to try to organize that, and decide on a spot. Preferably TI Surface seems the best, as long as people were willing to just walk 5 steps for the super quick introduction to get in, lol.
