Thy measure of time...

[Warcrafter]

Dear modders, creative people, idea robbers, frogs,

I am currently working on a RPG and I was looking for some opinions.
I am attempting to implement features that would make it feel more "believabe" (as in a more lively world).

And I was wondering, when you're playing, what should be the the game time vs real time ? At first, I wanted to make it 1 hour/1 hour, HOWEVER, after playing it for a little bit, it was fun BUT it did make the game feel slow... considering that you could accomplish so much in a question of like 2 hours...

So ! I decided that I'd lower it to 15 minutes/hour. I was wondering how you (the general public) felt about that. AND made it so that when you do sleep, each hour is about 5 or 3 seconds (got that from ARENA ).

So I wanted to know how you felt about that too...

Until next time,

ps: I just thought I'd have to mention the best quote ever...

Anyway I think that 10 minutes per hour give a good feel. And when sleeping make each hour max 3 seconds 5 is too much.

single player or multi player?

I'm presently making it single player but I might implement multi player later... Really, it's just a question of a few clicks... so... Single player

1. How big of a map?
2. is the stuff scaled down to make the map bigger?

Like Bounty said, 3 seconds is better, five is a little too much. And 15 minutes sounds just about it, so it's perfect [:
