Title: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 06, 2015, 01:50:53 pm
New server Hallows is in the works. medium sized map, 8x8. Fantasy themed.

A little info about me:

Been around since the early days of RPGWO. I believe the first or second phobos was when I started. Back then I was only 12 or 13, I think. I'm 24 now. Have been playing on and off since then and have seen many servers come and go. I have played and enjoyed many of them but for me, my greatest enjoyment was Phobos. With Steeltide or Nulona(cant remember which) as a close second.

What I would like to do is take what I enjoyed the most out of these servers and combine them.
I don't want to give too much away.
All of the weapons, armours, magics, crafting and monsters will all be based off of the Legacy files.

I will definitley be implementing Player-killing to some extent, to what extent I have not determined.  Tradeskillers have not been forgotten. There will be a system implemented protecting those who wish to play the game simply for its crafting.

I'm quite new to hosting a server. I have tinkered around a bit for my own and close friends enjoyment when V1 rpgwo server files were first released, but nothing more.
I will be recruiting mod/s and admin/s for the server.
I will not accept any cheaters. Or power abusers.

Any who are interested in helping make RPGWO great again. Please respond here with qualifications.  I will need help adding content. I want to roll a server out as quickly as possible, but don't want to release something half-assed.

I will consider all worthy suggestions or ideas for the server and content.

For anyone interested in help making maps, quests, and towns, The data files can be found below.

I will greatly appreciate any help that is given.

Dump script, put filename.rsf in client folder (same folder as client2.exe), /open filename as admin. Offset is diagonal bottom right to your character start.

So legacy as in Mickeys V2? Have you considered fixing or adjusting mobs/weapons/blacksmithing/armor sets in that world?

Weapons/Armor mostly for PVP in those files.

Yeah those are some of the main things I plan to take a look at.

A new server to crash and burn so hard even UT will roll in his grave

**Update

Starting Town and the First quest is finished. Going to move on to to weapons/ armours and tradeskills.

FYI Nobody is forcing you to play.

Like I said, I'm a newb at this but I been playing RPGWO a long time. I really just want to put up something decent to play for myself and others who are looking for the same. If we can make it a great server. Awesome. If it's wolf. Lesson learned.

@Roarion

You're saying these weapons and armor are balanced for Pvp? Or are you saying that I need to balance them if I'm going to implement PVP?

Need to be fixed

Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 05:10:00 pm
Lol. What does? The weapons seem very balanced to me.

The Blacksmithing I would love to rework but the damn things needs a complete overhaul. I'mg going through testing to make sure everything works right now. As long as it does I'll probably just leave it alone.

Most people hate that style of blacksmithing.

Seems very balanced and is actually balanced are different things. You put on the best armour +6ed and got hit by the player with the best weapon +6ed while taking into account max heal / health potions? Did you even check black magic? Did you take into account what level pvp is starting at?

Did you check weapons / armour on monsters at all?
Title: Re: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 07:43:17 pm
No, I dont think the skills or weapons need work. I think its the armors...Yes?


Title: Re: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 08:03:09 pm
Okay. Weapons seem okay with a few alterations. Black magic is completely tigered....Armor seems to do nothing. Will look into this. Perhaps Black magic will be disabled for this server since barely anyone uses anyway.
Title: Re: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 08:03:45 pm
Armours will get a bump in defense as well to allow weapons to remain the same. Rather than editing both.
Title: Re: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 08:39:14 pm
Probably will have to redo mosnters accordingly.
Title: Re: New server Hallows.
Post by: Mohegan on August 07, 2015, 09:21:35 pm
Okay.
Anyone should be able to log in. I need a few to come in and test some content. All that is up right now is sewers and town. You will need to manually download the files.
Sewers is huge and will provide a few hours of gameplay if anyone just wants something to play. Content has been added for any traders/crafters. There are no wilderness spawns.
I will be redoing ALOT of stuff. And adding some content over the next few hours so there will be some occasional lag.

If you are interested
PM me for Server info.

nods. connect info is private right now dont want too many people trying to get in. still in alpha phase and will be wiped. if you want to connect ill pm you the info jsut dont give it out.

Ok guys. I'm putting the connectiong info up for tonight.
This is just for feedback and suggestions. Please comment with any ideas/suggestions/requests.
I will repeat that most likely everything will be wiped.
I may keep character datas. Not sure yet.
Anyway... Here it is. Connect at your leisure.
Sewers is live.
But there are no wild monster spawns yet. Will start adding them tomorrow.

**UPDATE** Done testing for now. Taking server down. Lots of work to do,  Hopefully will be online tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help.

That's because they probably are. You're going to be spending tons of hours producing a new world less then 20 ppl will play even if its a top tier world.  And after a month or even a week now you wont see more then 10 ppl on at a time. Time invested into making a good world is no where near worth how many people will play anymore.

I've heard so many people argue and say "we just need a good world and it will be awesome and tons of ppl will play" which is no where near true. You could create the greatest rpgwo server ever and barely anyone would play it.

We need new players. We need v6 to be good and attract people. V2 is deader then dead right now and it won't come back. His post had too much truth in it to be trollish.

Mohegan is new at making rpgwo worlds. The chance that everything is fixed in the world is slim. He/She has already said its too much work to fix blacksmithing so they will probably skip it....

Long story short if you create a rehash of mickeys world and put it up on the list for you and a few ppl to play a lot of ppl are just going to call it another garbage world that probably won't live long or turn into Hexed status where people dislike the world just for staying up.

If you spend a lot of time making a world with new features it will be underplayed and a lot of your time will go to waste.

Though I'm inclined to agree with you roar, I have high hopes for server. Even if it's just a rehash of mickeys files, and I'll tell you why. Carnage.
There are still quite a few people who enjoy playing rpgwo.
Myself among them. If Mysti can put a server up and have multiple players per day. With screwed magics and all the connection issues. I can't imagine that a back to basics server with the standard magics. Skills. Weapons and armors. Throw in a couple of good, challenging quests. Won't bring some playerbase. To me 10 players on at a time is a success. Even in the old days that was avg. You only got up into the 20s and 30s at real busy times.

If you think maybe getting 10 ppl online on peak hours during the first month of a server is a success then go for it. I thought carnage was a failure in all respects. All mysti did was take my Hexed files, rename some items, and put new images over them. The problem with mysti is she can't take criticism at all on her world which results in a very poor admin. If you don't like it get out, and if you complain about broken things you get muzzled or banned. She picks favorites and half the time just makes her friends admins/mods.

I remember a lot more people being online in legacy servers. Hexed broke 40 players 3-4 yrs ago and Hollow Point did 30 which was maybe 2? yrs ago. Older servers yet had way more players then that.

More and more people who use to play this game don't have time to anymore because they've grown up or moved onto other games. No rpgwo server will ever be a success unless you can get new people playing again. There's good and bad servers, but the outcome is always the same.

I never contribute? Yet my name fills the appeals section of any server.

what do YOU contribute in the 4 hours you play a server? You start on a world and within hours you've already given up. Maybe fishing was broken this time? Maybe its because you're a really unreliable player? Or maybe its simply because you talk about playing the game and helping it but you do tiger ALL to show thats true.

4 hours of my time ;D

seriously: all I ever see you do on this forum is bitch at people.  if I click your name and look through the list of posts you've made (http://rpgwoforums.net/index.php?action=profile;u=157;sa=showPosts),  and there are maybe 3 posts that weren't trying to insult someone.  you've insulted every person who posted about trying to make a server and even bitched at Mickey about V6...bitching isn't contributing!  either help the people working on servers or leave them alone, telling them to tiger off doesn't do any good to anyone.
