If I were to implement this "particle" system, as it were, I'd use a grid (maybe a sphere?) of points evenly dispersed across a given area (map).

As used before, there might be sorrow in a graveyard, or lots of rage in the place of a recent battle... etc. |
this idea is a good one, i find it especially useful for a MMORPG world where the amount of interactions and battles on all parts of a map are continuously occuring (as opposed to a single player game where you'll work through an area and most likely not go back to it lest some quest or tinyplot drives you back to an old town..)
has anyone played with this idea in code here? i think it deserves some happy fun coder time.
theres alot to read and respond to in this thread, good quality.
