 |    Title = Has there been any discussion on adding *Huge* dungeons
 | Category = Dungeons
 | Question = Have you guys at Turbine considered large scale dungeons in the vein of Angband and Nethack with large RNG generated dungeons?<br /><br />Or possibly just massive dungeons designed by hand with tricks and traps such as secret walls you need to jump to pass through and random portals to other spots in it.<br />A dungeon of such gruesome nature and complexity that the whole may be unexplored for months would be intriguing to high levels that have 'seen it all'

 |   Answer = The larger the dungeon, the longer it takes to pre-process through the pipeline. The pit, for instance, takes about 30 hours to go through the pipe once it's ready to integrate into the world.<br /><br />Additionally, there are server concerns with large numbers of players in a single dungeon that have to be considered.<br /><br />We could do the type of thing you're talking about, but to keep performance up we'd need to split the dungeon into several sections that can be portaled to a from.
