Oh wow, they just gave us 2 new worlds in less than a year and there are still bugs to work out.

Don't get me wrong, I like new worlds myself, but I, personally think it is a bit too soon to be asking for a new one already.

I would think it would take some time, there is a lot of thought to get it to fit into the already scheme of things then programing it all so it works. Since they really just added back Crab Alley w/Waterworks, Wintertusk, Westeria and Zafari I think we could wait for another world for a bit. Those with other wizards to work though what is already there may not be asking just yet.

Personally I would like to see a gear update over any more worlds added. My Wizards that have not gone though Waterworks many times, mainly because it's an event that takes time and you have to wait for a few others to go though with you, are still working on their level 58 gear so if the things we have to fight get stronger it would be more handy to have the gear to help defeat them.

this is just a question of how long it takes to make a world not about making a new world.

It depends on KI, if they have a good idea already then it would probably take less time, but I wouldn't expect another world just yet with how Zafaria just came out.

I was responding to this part of the question: "(because there alot of people asking to make new worlds)"

As I read it, it is about how long AND about "alot of people asking to make a new world"

I see nothing incorrect about my response.

Think of it this way: first you come up with the idea, then you plan out the full storyline, get it approved, then you design the locations, then you design every single NPC, then you plan out all the gear, then you design all the spells, then you decide things like enemy schools, boss schools, think of cool mounts and pets, then you have it all re-made on the computer, then you program things to do what it is they do, then you record dialogue, record the music, then you get it beta tested, fix the bugs, change and edit things, promote it through the internet and through commercials, then you release your new W101 world to the gamers of the world. This all has to be done, and I just gave a basic outline. Before you play the new world, every single new spell that you cast, must first be planned and animated then tested before it is released. Give KI time, otherwise the new world will be full of bugs and glitches and have barely anything there. It's time vs quality, you can do something quickly to meet demand and have it be really bad, or you can take your time and do something really well.
