All I can say is if you play that server, make sure you use new a password and account name so "admins" dont steal it

optimization is key. keep the run system the same as classic with tiles. when you get over 200 it feels awesome, better than the walk/run system that takes stamina.

steeltide was a good server for larger playerbase, big main city that was the hub for trading, respawning after sieges, warpstones, condos, safe zone. the sector around 3,3 in steeltide was filled with player owned plots which made it look like a suburb and lively game.

add in the guild system for sure.

pretty much keep alot of the features from v1-v3, the complexity and sandboxiness is this games niche.

eventually add in more endgame content instead of endless leveling. I know in some MUD(text based rpgs) like Aarwold they have a reborn system where you restart from 0 but with an added bonus.

add more crafting features, like gems or enchanting to upgrade items. +hp, +damage, +armor.

more complicated suggestion: add more abilities to combat. status effects etc.. make it so damage isnt the only thing you use to kill someone. target legs can break the leg, they have to use first aid or something to heal their leg. achaea has a good pvp system that follows this. as a runewarden, you can insta kill someone if you break 4 of their limbs.

this game should take alot from text based rpgs because its pretty similar, all commands are instant(no casting bar), just with cooldown timers.

ill donate some money if I can get some equity

Tommy has emotional problems man. This hurts the community so much, we had 30+ for the first time IN YEARS. now when a new server rolls out, people will be nervous to grind because it might literally not be there the next day. Eh. I say no more servers unless the person putting up the server is willing to make sure a second person has the files.

Yeah its really dumb and immature to do stuff like this.  Practically every server ends up with admin drama/corruption because the only people who are willing to host servers are obviously not fit to be in control of a server/community.

I have the technical experience and years of experience hosting very popular servers for other games/managing their communities.  Main issue is as I have said in some other threads is that all my years of RPGWO was with V1 so I really don't know the ins and outs of V2 let alone any of the custom sets of V2 files available.

I'd be happy to team up with someone who is very knowledgeable about V2 and able to provide new balanced content (As well as helping me out balancing my own ideas in line with V2).  I don't have any friends in this community nor do I particularly care if people wanted to suck up to me, I'd sooner call people out publicly and/or punish them for seriously trying to get free stuff.

It'd have to be someone who is serious with a proven track record and not a drama queen though. Even if just for the initial setup to get something ready that has a good all around balance.

id be very interested in playing your server when it comes out, sooner the better

I changed my mind, Tommy is the weirdest admin ever

Hey I was enjoying the server alot are you going to bring it back up? Had 30+ people on which is crazy

The server is fun, it doesn't have some of the stuff I like from normal modern servers but it addressed some issues that the game has like rune making and self sustainability in general as a fighter.  I don't really care who admin is. The reason there is a gap between high level players and low is obviously time. Cant see a fix for that as if you have err a full time job and family it's hard to compete so some players just quit if they are in a competitive mind set while playing. Everyone knows that but it's just the nature of rpgwo

I think abilities and magic should be the next focus. I was always intrigued by games with lots of spells so you can explore different possible gameplay styles. I think RPGWO should try and emulate Achaea for instance the MUD. I think blue magic has huge potential.

I think it should be atleast 30 mins since there are no ways to mass create pots, has to be done manually or hours. It will take 3 pots for an hour of training.

It should be wiped so we can play. The quests alone will keep players. Its what mmorpgs today call PVE.  even pvp based rpgs (which some people think this game is) dont thrive without strong pve content which Steeltide had the best of any server. Because it had a good world layout with a variety of quests it kept players occupied, very similar to runescape actually which it was compared to back then. These days you hardly get a chance to pk anyway with the amount of players now, so you tend to focus on just killing monsters and questing for the fun of it. Id have fun with steeltide if it was wiped, Id probably keep a character there permanently again like back then when it was considered the "questing" server.
