Why is there no save/load?

Why wont you include a -save/load
just wondering seems like a good idea

Well there is a short list of reasons for this one.

-balance
-content
-pacing

As of now the game is balanced around having players at certain levels around certain times. This is what sets the balance and pacing for the game. Allowing players to save would require me to double the content in the game to make high level play worthwhile and still allow low level play. As simple as it may seem I would basically have to remake the entire game to allow for save/load to be done properly.

Just joined the forums today because I was hoping it was still active. Pleasantly suprised that one of my favorite maps is still being worked on =p.

I would like to say that having a save/load system wouldn't be popular for the blizzard crowd, but for a small niche it would be grand. I've been trying to do a persistent, session based kind of roleplay for some time, but its difficult to have that continuity when everyone has to level again each new session.

It would allow things like politics to really progress though. You could have people changing the throne back and fourth without a major issue. I feel like alot of the content of this game comes from the player's interacting, less than the game content itself.

Perhaps a save/load version released on its own might be possible? I used to mess around with the map editor, so I can certainly understand that it wouldn't be easy to keep updated and implemented.

i think that the maps with save/load are really annoying because once u beat them u cant die and u will get bored

with a map where u can find new thiings and start over every time it makes u work hard all the time u play the same map

that's what i think
