Holidays
in Wizard101 are specially celebrated, and the specialties offered by
the game during their days are always very desirable. However each of
them lasts only for a short time, and players long for them during
their everyday gameplay.
Perhaps
it could be possible to have access to the holidays on normal days
too? Such access could be enabled by creation of special lands in
Wizard101 – lands of holidays.
Hallowe'en,
Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day, April Fools and all
others could beget their capitals in separate lands. They all could
be islands, to which access could be granted by side quests in normal
worlds. In these capital lands, special items and events could be
present all year long. Even the game's Birthday and the four seasons
of Summer, Winter, Fall, and Spring might have their capitals on
special islands.
There
should be some regulations about the first visits and about the
comebacks. Perhaps the first visit could only take place during the
period of a specific holiday, or perhaps it could simply happen due
to completion of a new side quest.
But
comebacks too may only occur if a player solves a quest line. Such
quest line could be offered to a player by inhabitants of the holiday
land through a special letter. Thus the first visit would be possible
if a side quest from a normal world was completed, and each comeback
would be possible only if a side quest from a holiday world was
completed. These comeback quests would allow a visit to the land
which could be as long as desired provided that the player does not
leave the land at all. Such regulations would turn the holiday lands
into dungeons in their technical behaviour. Because they would be
dungeons, they could offer to the player exciting quests every time
they are revisited, and the quests could be different for different
groups of levels: 10+, 20+, 30+ and so on.
Comebacks
could also be possible only through purchase of a ticket for gold, so
only the first visits would then require completion of a side quest
line. But some obligations the players should get inside the holiday
lands, like a classic dungeon mission, and fulfilling these
obligations could open to the player stores and events inside each
land. But these obligations could only be present during the first
visit, and all the comebacks could only cost a price of a ticket.
Still,
a quest line could be introduced in which players could get a quest
to complete outside the holiday lands for their inhabitants. As said
earlier, completion of such a quest could grant a ticket to the
island, so every time the player wants to comeback, he would receive a
letter telling him what to do to re-visit the land. But also a quest
could be issued upon leaving a holiday island, each time a player
leaves, and the reward would be a possibility of comeback – but
also a possibility of improving the holiday land, for example by
unlocking items in stores or special areas.
During
holiday periods, holiday lands could be twice as festive as normally,
and they could be centres of unique happenings.
