I am willing and able (time wise) to start a new smaller V3 world. Like 1000x1000 instead of 2000x2000.
Create Tasks:
- 1000x1000 world
- Main, start town in middle sector, entire sector is PLOT
- Main town MUST have mule trader
- Enable buying player traders
- Wilderness spawns spiral outward
- Add more worms cuz they are awesome
- Maybe adjust jewelry, BS and mining skill needed to higher
Ugh, the whole jewelry needs a rework plus magic. Having a month off helped so maybe I can get back into V3. Need to think about it.
-
Yay!
-
Yes, except for the worms.
-

that!

I would be okay with really any of those options.
-
no, just release the source code
-
I'm ready!
-
no, just release the source code
he released the server files, but I'll say again the same thing I said last time you came around asking for source:
@Pokemon Steve: if you're only here to get the source code so you can make your own game, please go away!
I mean honestly over half your post are asking for the source code for this game(you've made 8 this year 5 ask for source code or open sourcing)...if you spent half the time writing code that you do asking for it(and you're not a complete moron) you could probably write a half decent game engine!
-
I don't think I can try connecting to the V3 Upira server anymore. :/ Every time I try to log in, I get as far as the loading screen. Too bad, I wish I could play this game againnn!!! I miss it :/ Been playing it since 2001.
-
You could give this game a try if you really want to play something, I've been playing it a bit myself on the US East server: http://www.mysteralegacy.com (http://www.mysteralegacy.com)
It's similar to rpgwo in a lot of ways although it's a bit hardcore since it's a full pvp game with house looting so some people may not be interested in that. It has some interesting features.
-
A V1 RPGWO server would be cool, if it it was well made.
I am playing myself RPGMO (http://rpg.mo.ee/), it's got a friendly community.

I think Mickey may have forgotten about us...

V1? seriously?
I've tried Mo, it does have a large friendly community, but you're also really limited in what you can do there. I'm always a crafter, but there to be a crafter you have to be a better fighter since you can't get to resource gathering areas unless you can kill the monsters along the way.

Steeltide was V1? Wasn't it?
Throughout the years I came to realize the enjoyability of RPGWO was in being a laid-back game with a friendly community, that's what people sought in it. Most players didn't play RPGWO for its graphics, for hardcore PVP nor for grinding levels endlessly.
RPGWO was just a cool place to chill and have a break.
Building your land, planting crops, making pots and runes, while chatting with people.
IMO some of the people who ran servers lost sight of that, and the game eventually died.
-

I haven't forgotten. Just busy with this and that and keeping eye on this thread.
Want to open something, like December 1st.
Here is my To Do List (a + next to it means it is done/ready):
- 1000 x 1000 world
- map creation : just keep trying until a decent one shows up
- increase depth
- center start town
- mule trader
- player trader
- player trader area
- spiral out wilderness spawns, all underground levels too
+ scripts made
+ remove Evasion, bring melee def and missile def back
+ treasure, potions
- adjust starting skill points???
+ scale out mining to step 75
- scale out BS to 75 step instead of 50
+ tin
+ bronze
+ cobalt
+ iron
+ ebony
+ cinnabar
+ titanium
- hessite
- tungsten
- mithril
- damon ???
- weapon/armor arming skill requirements increase to step 75
+ UA
+ dagger
+ sword
+ axe
+ mace
+ spear
+ staff
+ flail
+ scythe
- sheild
+ bow
+ crossbow
+ throwing
+ wands
- rebalance weapon ratings, spread out, make same speed/burden ??? Can do after open
+ mining - add more metal ores, can add BS for them later "Future Ore I"
- jewelry rework
- add the V6 gems
- scale out skill to step 75
- magic changes
- blank runes made by BS
- rune drawing done by magic user, but can only copy what they have
- rune wear out less or not at all
- crafting uses highest magic skill
- runes dropped by monsters and treasure
- runes can be researched costing mana, 1000?
- spell runes auto mixed on creation, in magic.ini use rune meaning (fire, ice, self, other, level 2, etc) and let server assign a rune to that meaning
- alchemy - scale out potions 75 step
+ remove floating map making
- better metal tools reduce stamina use, not boost skill, Can do after open
- reduce tame reproducing going wild, maybe require feeding? maybe add mutant born un-tames that kill kill kill
- maze quest type ???
- room/halls quest type ???
- scramble runes
- increase number of allowed players per client??? (For me, I like to play all kinds of player types, so more is better)
-
consider opening on a friday afternoon or something so maximum number of people can play together, causing more activity.
map creation: how viable is building on water / having a house totally on water? actually curious. would like to live in the ocean and grow seaweed
i'm not on drugs
-
also, can we prevent first-comers from emptying npcs of gold?
-

- runes can be researched costing mana, 1000?
if we can only make runes we have, and researching takes more mana than I think anyone has ever had, what is the point? researching should be 50 at most(and high chance to fail). another method might use 2 runes a player already has(destroying both) to possibly get a third, but both of these methods would take a lot of weird coding
- reduce tame reproducing going wild, maybe require feeding? maybe add mutant born un-tames that kill kill kill
last time I was working on server files(I gave up) I turned farm animals into items instead of monsters. different usages on different animals to get them fed/fat/ready to reproduce...seemed like a fun idea if you want to try it.
- increase number of allowed players per client??? (For me, I like to play all kinds of player types, so more is better)
there is no point in a person trying to play as a crafter if every fighter has a second or fifth character to make equipment. please limit to 1, and not allow multiple accounts like you did on Upira.
"Future Ore I"
if you seriously name it that, I will find you in game and pk you! :P
-
@Raikaria: water is usually flat land, so it easy to build anything...you can also plow and plant there but plants die once fully grown if not harvested quickly(planting underground gets around that). the only issue I've ever had with building on water was stealthed water monsters.
-
10 character slots pls
-
When ready?

I can vouch for that. One of my fondest memories was hanging out with some buddies in a player-created bar with everyone chatting and having so much alcohol. Needless to say, we all drank to the point of passing out and I thought that Grayvyns were attacking us in our weakened states.
Ah, the good times....
-
please, i need rpgwo to play this holiday :(
-
Got sick with cold/flu and got knocked out for a few weeks. Getting back into things. Hoping to open something early December.
-
december 1st...am I too impatient?
-
no
-
12/1/17. Fooled again.
-
Got most of the content changes done that I wanted to do.
Working on creating a map and hopefully open this Friday.
-
Also add to ur todo list....remove /topten
-
If i had an opinion and it had any value, witch im sure it dont. Then i would say open one with v2 files like hex original. So people have a nice finish product that you dont have to put any effort into. Other then v3 interfect stuff ect.

its friday.
whats up?
-
he has work m-f
friday night pacific time most likely, i am very excitd, have not play v3 before but would love a partner
(ideally one that watches anime so we can watch anime while grinding ingame)
-
I've been home all day with a cold, you can't want this more than me!
-
Open it up, Mickey!
-
NOW OPEN!
-
copper jewelry doesn't work, and you still didn't add a way to drink wine.
-
Can you be more specific about copper jewelry?
-
When you attempt to use a raw gem (turquouse or garnet) on either blank copper bracelet, necklace, or ring you get this error: The target item cannot be given a skill bonus
-
Mickey can't even setup a small world without breaking it.
-
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
-
Alchemy changes seem kinda meh. I don't really care for having to use minerals to make potions now but I can live with it. But level 1 potions seem really weak. Only 5 skill bonus and only last for 5 minutes.
Also doesn't seem like anyone can figure out what makes level 2 potions. I've got almost everything level 1 made but yet to figure out level 2. Any hints?
-
Did you try using them on themselves? I have no idea sorry. Usages should say
-
@Aero about alchemy.
The alchemy changes have been in for half a year now. Yes, it is a challenge. Before, too easy. There are 10 levels of potions, so yeah level 1 isn't the best. Mix an organic (not rose or shroom) with a Level 1 to get level 2, etc. Organics can be used repeatedly.
-
Please add multi usage, tuck me 3 solid weeks before to make 500 all lvl 10s of the needed pots. Maybe closer to a month actually.

Can't unless I do some coding. The potion recipes are all dynamic. These is no usage setup for it so a multi-use can't do it since the recipes are not hard coded like before. Not in the mood to code VB6 anymore... VB6 ruined it, heh. What little motivation I have, I am saving for magic.
-
So you're saying your not willing to do anymore work on rpgwo yet you still won't release the source?
-
10 levels is sort of crazy though. I know it is too late this server, but next time around can we get fewer levels and have those levels be more useful(ie first level being around 15-20).
-
Noone is forcing u to drink potions.
pony.

no one forces you to make stupid post either, you do it because you like it. if something is in a game it should be useful, a +5 bonus that takes that much work isn't useful.

My donger is bigger than your donger
-

How are you going to say his post is stupid when you say something just as stupid..
if something is in a game it should be useful, a +5 bonus that takes that much work isn't useful.
I think what you mean is to say
"Not worth my time for +5"
That +5 can be the difference between hit/miss or fail/success attempts and straight full on hit or successful attempts.
-
for the work involved in making that potion you could grind out 5 levels. as I stated:
if something is in a game it should be useful, a +5 bonus that takes that much work isn't useful.
if it wasn't so much work involved(less than it takes to grind the same amount of levels on most skills) it might be useful, as it is it isn't. however I'll concede the point that 5 skill levels can be useful...

Pepin it's not like you play the game any more so why are you still posting crap here? State something constructive for once or fucк off

Kayos, I logged on the other day.
Kayos for Mod!

seems after he failed at playing the game he(and his other account "Kube") took up the hobby of trying to smite everyone deep into the negative. seems for now, he is only after me, Mickey, and Jaster...who knows how long he'll limit it to us 3 though.
-
You guys are just salty because you're still obsessed with a game the creator doesn't care about. Maybe people will take the game more serious when Mickey starts caring.
Oh noes forum karma matters. Jaster was already pretty low in karma so I helped out.
PS it wasn't just me :-*
-
Im not sure witch is stranger, the fact that we still play a game that the creator dosent care about. Or that you still post on forums on a website about a game you dont play anymore.

Micky has been on every day for hours adding custom events and new features?
-
Not to mention i been coding and contenting for a good 10 months now.... Minus October.
-
All that coding is kinda useless when the only server has no admins and is 90% afk's grinding over buffed trade skill fail xp. Also there is a bot on thats been grinding mining xp for the last 2 days. Ask the few people on the server that arent afk if you want more info.

you know he released the server code right? you can start your own server if you don't like his. I don't see how you can say all the work he did coding V3 was useless, it has some really neat new stuff(new magic research window is awesome).
-
How's his monkey taste? 8)
-
The new magic research is good, i agree. But most of the players on the server arent using any of the new stuff hes coded. They are just abusing the over inflated fail xp. The game might aswell be single player at this point. Some people on there already have 2-3 characters grinding skills.
-
again, he released the server files (http://rpgwo.com/download/server3.zip). if you don't like his server(which I get, there are a lot of bots/afk trainers) you can run your own...the coding wasn't useless.
-
A few of us were actually talking about it yesterday. We dont want to have to make a server because the only official one isnt admined or moderated in any way. But we will if we must.
-
If by chance a server does open up that isn't full of afk macroers then let me know on here!
I appreciate Mickey's put a lot of work into the new V3 but like myself people are probably gonna find it through the forum, read this thread, and be put right off so it's all a bit pointless really isn't it!?
-
Not sure I have seen so much anger about macroing since... like 16 years ago when I was in full combat mode against it. I coded all sorts of stuff to bring it under control and stop it. Even patrolled the world in secret admin, checking and watching players. But... it all failed. I sadly came to realize that you will never get rid of it. I really don't know what more I can say about it. It sucks. And all the stuff I did just made it harder for non-macro players to play. And if you think commercial games don't have these same problems... think again.
In V6 I decided to embrace it and planned to code scripting into the client. And eventually into the server so you can setup a script for a player and logoff, having the server run the script for the player in world. Basically, setup NPCs kinda. But V6 sort of has a skill cap. Once you hit 100 skill, in a month of normal play, you could do everything in that skill. So really only combat benefitted but that I planned to put a real cap on that kept it balanced. But that was all based on regular wipes every 4-6 months.
OK, so basically, you want an admin on every hour, checking AFK players?
What if I just restart the server once per hour? It still would not stop macroers and it would just annoy real players.
Who wants ice cream?
-
What a great mentality from the creator of the game. You can't stop it completely so why bother trying in the first place. Your right. Commercial games do do have the same problem but it doesnt mean they stop trying. The average person doesnt do it because the fear of being caught is always there. Your basically giving people a free pass to do it, publicly. Sends a great message to players new and old.

To be fair: he is a software developer type, not a PR or marketing type. Commercial games spend $xxx,xxx to millions every year on it.
That being said I am all for a world with significantly more admin interaction if it means Mickey can add more features and fix bugs without being bothered or harassed, and the admin can handle things like removing unruly players and events.
-
I appreciate it is a difficult thing to work around, and it has always been a problem, but "back in the day" it only enumerated to a small percentage of active players macroing which I could overlook as I still had loads of others to interact with.
Now it seems like at least half the players online at any given time are afk macroing, I thought people liked this game because of the sense of community bla bla bla, so what are you doing afk the whole time? All you're doing is competing against other AFK players, whats the point?
You're putting off other players from starting again, so when you're all winging in 3 weeks time that everyone's stopped playing then have a good long think. :)
