Is there any significant thought (like discussions what or how to implement) or development process or real possibility (next 6-12 months) currently ongoing that will add more particles effects if their is an option to turn them on (so as not to slow down the game)?
Things like, snow storms (white outs), sand storms (reduced visibility like stolen heart quest), rain with or without lightning (that may or may not reduce visibility) , northern lights, dust devils, dust clouds (clouds of dust miles high that blanket large area's and towns) heavy fog, falling fire or small meteorites (purely cosmetic-no damage), earthquakes (screen shakes and new character animations to reflect this), sparkling forests (Elvin lands that have a sparkling or glowing forest) day/night cycles (will you be able to choose either night or day) or moving or changing skyboxes (in the desert looking north to Varrock you could see clouds one hour then rain clouds dumping rain the next hour with rain really comming down in Varrock).
I am not asking if you are thinking about it (although that's great) but are there plans now that are currently in development for such things. If so can we expect to see them in the next 6-12 months. If not, why not? If the problem is that it would push system spec's up why not make an option to turn them on or off?
Also, be creative on the effects.
