So I was wondering what it’d be if it was updated? Like would you have the four stats to invest into? Or would we still have magic and a few weapons with one or two abilities? Would we see something like guilds being able to build bases in areas? Would we see stuff like horses and wagons being used for transport?
These are just some questions I’d like to know what the community thinks would be the case.
no way of telling but probably not, it had AA’s system where there weren’t really any “stats” nor build identity outside of what magic you picked.
probably this, but as time went on we’d get more and more weapons and some would likely have many abilities like AO’s weapons.
maybe?
flight and hover were the 2 intended spells for mobility around the continent, so this would probably be a no, or only something like wandering npcs
Didn’t the Minotaur have one or two strength like moves?
I feel like Vetex would’ve either added something in to help npcs travel around or atleast some sort of lore reason why people could travel such far distances without magic.
probably something like the early showcases for ao (back when redwake was where everything was being filmed)
the visuals are still distinctly wom, but more modern in a way
i miss it tbh
World of Magic will probably not get updated asides from a bug fix or change in number once in a blue moon which is a shame because World of Magic could be like the more Land-Based AO.
Ao on mainland update
That wasn’t what I was asking… since I know that there’s no real chance that WoM would be updated any more, I was asking what people think it’d be like.
It’d be pretty cool
Well there were plans to add fighting styles so I assume eventually non-magic would be fleshed out, though spirit probably wouldn’t be a build path due to the WoM MC being canonically some random
Still praying that we get magius sized continents in AO
not a chance, magius was planned to be larger than both bronze and nimbus sea (not just the islands, the seas altogether) combined
afterall the entire game wouldve been hosted on that continent, the map was already pretty large and if you check planned maps of what the continent wouldve been like you start to see the scale of how big the game was going to be.
(for reference)
mount othrys (i believe the current largest island we have?) is maybe the size of summer hold to the volcano if it was placed diagonally between them.
No I mean the size of the part of magius we could explore at the time
It’d be significantly better in terms of exploration and magic possibilities as the entire continent has a LOT of mages.
Though in reality we have no idea, we don’t know what would be added nor do we know how we could travel the continent of Magius.
and we’ll never see 
A lot of filth that’d need to be cleansed…
thats cutting out a ton of land
from my (also lazy math) id say the area of current magius is about 9k meters (did a square at each of the extremes and saw it was roughly a 5k by 5k square, and taking out about 65% of the square due to water/empty space its about 9k
mount othrys on the other hand seems to be about 5k long and about 2k wide, with about 60% of that being water again, so 4k area?
so my previous statement of it going from summerhold to the volcano might be a little wrong, but my previous previous statement of the entire continent being bigger than 2 seas combined is probably true
I know traveling around the place would be a concern… but guys WoM had stamina based running 
these… PLAGUE-RIDDEN SCUM infiltrating our sacred land shall be cleansed.
yeah It wasn’t exactly the best, but if WoM still had a future, it’d likely get removed, as the current movement feels punishing when there’s no need to punish.
truth, we would have horses and wagons in a modern version of world of magic because there’s no way durza died for this
