W3 Life
Intro
I have been making a map where you play as a person who lives in a city, kinda like Loap (No, I didn't just open a Loap map and work from there. I made a new city and everything). For now I've just called it W3 Life, but I'm sure a more clever name will appear soon.

Features
Here is a list of features. About half of them have been completed, and a couple are in progress.
- Other players cannot pick up your items when you drop them, unless you use "Unclaim Item"
- Every street is named. When you get the advance cell phone, you can use its GPS function to tell you what street you are on.
- Any items you collect, cannot be picked up by players unless you use an ability that allows the item to be picked up by any player.
- After you buy or rent out a house, you can go to different stores and buy walls, furniture, etc. to place in your house.
- You can open your own stores.
- Cars run on gas. You can go to a gas station and buy more gas. Different cars hold more/less gas.
- You can use the arrow keys to rotate and zoom the camera.
- You need to be in your car to drive it. Locking the car doors will greatly decrease the chance of having your car stolen. Driving on terrain other than roads will decrease/increase speed depending on your vehicle.
- Parking lots. You can park your car in a spot (Not for free) where it becomes invulnerable and 'unstealable' but not drivable.
- Lawn system. Every x game days your trimmed grass turns into regular grass, regular grass turns into dirt, and dirt turns into rough dirt. Basically, your lawn degrades over time. You can improve your lawn by using a lawn mower, watering it, and planting grass seeds. Trees (Which you can plant yourself) also degrade with the lawn, and weeds may appear over time.
- Your phone. Through out the map you may notice different phone numbers written on signs, walls, etc. You can dial the numbers with your phone.
- You can go to school.
- You can get a job
- You can put money in the bank and withdraw it via ATM machines.
- The club opens at night.
Ideas
Here's a little list of ideas (And the person who came up with it) for the map that I plan on adding eventually.
- Weather effects. Lightning strikes deal massive damage, rain turns dirt into mud, etc. -Zinive
- Theater. Watch movies. -Zinive
- Radio. Listen to different Warcraft songs. -Zinive
- 480x480 - Steel_Stallion
- More than 1 city -Steel_Stallion
- Once a player buys a certain tech, his boat can use the fishing ability.
