Subway expansions

With so many new areas being opened in some of the regions, I was wondering if there was a plan for additional subway lines through the regions.  I don't see the two red/blue lines being able to handle many more stations (except for maybe to the islands).  So I was wondering if regional subways were coming...a subway line for Mazza'la and a separate one for Grumbla where they also use the current subways in place as transfer stations to the red/blue lines to move between the larger land masses.

  • That sounds like it would be a good idea. Living in Maryland I'm pretty familiar with the DC metro system and despite it being a fairly small area, compared to even just the rest of the state, it has something like six or eight color coded lines.

    Most of them are straight lines that make curves and intersect with other lines. I think such a system could be adapted to Glitch, though it would certainly take a bit of dev manpower.

  • Sounds like a great idea and a flat map of the world would make it perfect.  Currant maps still leave me confused what is really next to what.

  • Hm...what about subway projects? So when you uild a syreet you can upgrade it in different ways, like making subway line to it. :)

  • Yes! That sounds amazing! Stoot made a comment saying he wanted to implement more freedom of the players in street projects but I can't remember where it was...

    Anyway. :) That would be an awesome street project feature.

  • Yeah, if players will be able to change the look or theme of new street it will be awesoooome :)

  • I'm hoping there'll be a way to influence how large a street is, IE how many patches, rocks it would get, whether it would have an underground portion etc.

    That might get kinda unplanned though. I think the devs are doing a good job planning out Ur themselves and just letting us help bring their designs into reality.

    Us self-serving players might just mess up the wonderful world of Ur with our decisions on street planning. ;P

  • Less of an idea and more like asking if they were already planning for them Djabrill...other folks are adding nice additional ideas to the original thread.  Since they seem to have had a plan for the original subway system, I suspect they aren't going to leave the outer areas sans subways (or other modes of transportation) for long.  Maybe it will require more locations in a major land mass to be open prior to a regional system.  This thread really is more to solicit what TS is thinking along these lines...but others are free to add great additional thoughts as they desire.

  • I agree b3achy - I hate walking or TPing into those areas that do NOT have a subway as yet. It certainly looks like our current system needs a major work-over or tweaking.

  • I have nothing productive to add to this discussion, but I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to confirm that the DC Metro is fargin fantastic.

  • I'm all for it as long as they don't put the people of Toronto's subway system in charge....it's awful. ;)

  • I'm an urban planner... If TS needs some assistance with effective transit planning, I'd be happy to lend my services (and feel useful for once!)

  • This would be a cool project for us to have to work together as a community to build, IMHO...
