That IS, in fact, a great example of a fantasy world actually "evolving" in its own timeline.<BR/><BR/>A gnomish "net" of any sort would be SO awesome. I'd love to see them start putting plug implants into their heads and jacking-in to a zany online hacker environment. Considering they made a replicant-duck just for fun, I could only imagine the ways hacking and security programs could manifest themselves in a VR world....Almerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900945481829893406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288220751029756874.post-85391673813280041342007-11-03T01:15:00.000-07:002007-11-03T01:15:00.000-07:00Taking the fantasy world and blending it with sci-...Taking the fantasy world and blending it with sci-fi sounds a lot like Warhammer 40K which took the basic warhammer fantasy worlds and shot them into space. Would be interesting to see that develop in other game worlds too.<BR/><BR/>I would guess the "logic" behind a pretty static fantasy world is that if in our timeline we needed to better our world (and also wage war) through technology and through that made some important technological discoveries that moved us forwards... Norrath relies on magic which fills those gaps, so there is no need for better technology (except for the gnomish tinkerings)<BR/><BR/><BR/>But yeah, a Cyberpunk Norrath could be quite cool. Especially if the gnomes ever get the Matrix working....Danny Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471356409229681458noreply@blogger.com
