Tazoon

[LordPazuzu]

I am basically new to Horizons. I played the game at launch, but left to to horrible performance issues and went back to EQ. But with the free trial, I'm giving it another shot.

When I first played Horizons, Tazoon was completely unusable since my framerate bottomed out wheneveer I ported in, but that is obviously no longer the case. The city is beautiful, absolutely beautiful, with great character int eh architecture and obviously alot of thought and care put into it's creation. And it's totally and utterly devoid of life, witht he exception of a handful of NPCs. Maybe I'm missing some bit of gamelore as to why this iz, but if I'm not I think this city could really use an NPC population pass by a content team. It would make a wonderful impression to any new players trying out the demo or trying out the upcoming expansion. This city could be so full of life and it's dead.

putting in lots of npcs at this time would "bottom out" your fps again. but I really do like this suggestion, for when the client can handle it.

We have very specific plans for Tazoon. We are waiting on more client updates to put these plans into place, but we think all of you will be very entertained with the results. In the meantime, Tazoon has been deliberately emptied of most essential content to avoid sending players into the city.

I think that the main reason that it is devoid of life is the reason you stated previously...

Because of the history of Tazoon being unusable/not really much being there that players in general need, the place is devoid of at least player life... I know I only go there once in a blue moon, when a quest requires me to do so.. or when I decide I want to port to the Floatin Isle, other then that, I tend to shy away from it because there are other ways/places I can get what and to where I need to go without venturing through the place.

EDIT: Wow... I spose the reason I dont go there is just what DB wants us to do... perhaps Ill start going through the city again.. Naa....

Up until the last patch I had to restart horizons every time after visiting Tazoon. Memory buildup or clients leaks, something would kill the performance of the game.

[Khosadan]

When I was a hatchling, I used to sink through the streets there and get stuck a lot. It encouraged me to stay away.

Not sure what causes that bug, I think it has to do with view distance or somesuch.

[Syndic]

Well currently I am visiting Tazoon twice every 1/2 hour, which I know is rare for many people. The main reasons I do though are the trainers I need are there and are not in many other places and becuase it is free.

[Mearis]

I use Tazoon all the time, trainers, free ports, etc. It is a beautiful city shame not many others use it.

[Alladania]

I was wandering around Tazoon last night. I had no idea it had a confectioner trainer in town. :-)

I have a one word request for what to do with Tazoon, that most old school Asheron's Call players will understand :

Arwic

Heh :P

Oh great! I like the looks of that city very much and enjoyed the part of the trials of the gifted quest that had me explore that town.

[tramsan]

*silently hopes the plans include a very big boom*

<_<
>_>

[Roberto]

i don't get the refrence

let's just say that after 'the incident', the locals began referring to the town as "Charwic"

[tramsan]

Big boom?

[Deth]

Bada Boom

[LaughingOtter]

Boom! V?

[Dotcher]

City fall down go boom!

[tramsan]

Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was desert. Other kings said I was daft to build a city on a desert, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the quicksand. So, I built a second one. That sank into the quicksand. So, I built a third one. That burned down, blew up, then sank into the quicksand, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest city in these islands.
