Worshipped Deity and Astrology-system

In Gekkeiju Online it's possible to choose the deity the characters worship. The choice of deities is based on the characters' alignment so good characters cannot worship evil gods. This feature has, however, so far not done anything except added some roleplay-factor to the game. Quite many players have been wanting for it to have some effect in their characters so I have planned up a new astrology-system.

Basically each deity in Gekkeiju has its own constellation. The world also has 3 major elements in the sky: sun, and the moons, Luna and Selena. The astrology-system will basically calculate how these 3 major elements are lined up with the deities' constellations. This will affect the player either positively or negatively. For example the moon, Luna, increases negative effects while sun and Selena have positive ones.

To make the system less confusing, there'll be some sage npcs placed around the continent who will be able to tell the players' horoscope for the next ingame week or so. There are also plans for Astrology-skill than can tell how the elements are lined up. This skill, however, will not tell how they affect the player.

The astrology-system will be implemented into the New World, hopefully before the opening of the public beta.

  1. i think most of us love role playing and any additional customization like deities having a more important role is a welcome addition :)
