4-10-09
Alright today I have edited the time settings for the game. It used to be 1 minute real time equals 1 hour ingame. I thought that made days too quick since a full day would equal 24 minutes of playing and classes would be too quick.  I have made it so that it is now every 3 minutes that passes in real time, an hour has passed ingame. However I might change that: what would you all think would be long enough? 6 minute classes are ok however it might not exactly hit the spot.

In classes it's setup just like the regular HP world: make potions, transfigure things, learn new spells, discover new creatures and may be able to keep them as a pet, quidditch class (for first years only) teaches you about quidditch, and so on.

I say 6 minutes for each class so we get a lot of time to practise. |

@calum
Ok cool
@Hollow
Well what do mean by "questish"? It depends though: it's more like learning new things and you get homework. (not too much though).

Alright then 6 minutes it is.
@Hollow
Well no it wont be a series of quests per day. Each student takes around 4-7 classes a day (depending on the day). Classes are setup as a regular class but more interactive. The quest engine however requires something involving killing, talking, or delivery.

I think it may be that they stand up and walk around practising the spell and only sit-down when we listen to the teacher. |

No lol I don't mean like just sitting in a desk for 6 minutes lol. All of your classes will be more interactive. Meaning interactive I mean like actually casting spells on objects and/or other people and there's also like potions class which is making potions of course. They are all fun: one of my favorites though is the Quidditch class (first years only) and it's pretty much playing a sport.
