I was wondering what everyone's thought were on standardising the small reefs and atolls around Terra. Not the coastal islands that area already used by players, or the islands on the game map. The islands in the middle of the oceans. Currently there doesn't seem to be a standard list of islands like this that I can find and that is used in the game. I think adding islands like this would be a very interesting way to spice up RP, and also add to the realism of the world.
We do have small island nations like Keymon and Dalibor in the far-east, forum-based nations. However these are more like Cyrpus or Sri Lanka type nations, rather than the islands chains of say the Bahamas or Micronesia.
I would suggest a three-part plan for adding oceanic islands into the game: decide where would be realistic/beneficial to have them; decide on the detail of the specific details of each island group (or even singular island); decide who they belong too (if anybody). We should decide this in a community based way, to my mind, and after some research into what kind of environments these islands happen in geographically from a realism point of view.
I wanted to get everybody's thoughts on the matter. I for one am eager to get involved in the plan if approved. I think it's good for RP and realism.
