Well I've been recently bugged about helping like the 200 people that have decided to all make servers at the same time. Figured this might help a few of them that are actually working on their junk.
I thought about opening a server, pretty much would be different then anything would of really played on.. But I figured for one I would hold off doing it considering the.. well 200 servers that are going up. So I'll just go ahead and explain the Idea behind it.
All the Inis would be damn near blank..
Skills - Would have your normal attacks and such, You would start out with defenses and mining.
Items - Picks for mining, Weapons (None actually make-able with skills) Armor (Also Not Make-able)
Monsters - A lot of them would look familiar, but would totally different then any of them you've ever seen stat wise.
(I'm too lazy to go into anymore detail)
Anyways, at this point your going what in the hell?
Well heres the thing the server would be, well.. Something "Rpgwo" wise you haven't seen before, all weapons and armors would have be gotten by either drops or NPCs, I know maybe it would be dull, but the reason for this is, well the leveling on this server would be hell of a lot more fast pace then any other server.
Most of the monsters you would start off going after have a good 500 HP, thats quite a bit, a lot of XP floating around, but higher then normal levels along with higher defenses and such. The point of this is you would more then likely have to be teamed up with someone or two, to kill through these at first, get them down and move on through the dungeon, thus leveling hell of a lot faster, cause killing a level 50, say Giant Roach, would throw a ton of XP around.
I guess in thought it would be a "High Rate" server, a lot of game items would depend on item drops and money, which would be easy to get, but stuff would be extremely expensive, So i guess there could be a little farming to be done and I figured if anything Mining would be very useful for adding certain ore that would be useful and useful to sell, to be honest land owning wouldn't make much difference, at this point, and not having any other trade skills would kill that part of the server, I would have to probably figure different ways around that, maybe start with all trade skills so people could actually still get an attack, but anyways, most of your game play would be towards leveling, and you would level QUICKLY, which might make it appealing to some that haven't got over say, 40.
The only problems that I see are the people that like to train defenses along with your skills being lower then they would normally be on a "Normal server" theres a few ways I thought about going around this.
Admins have a command..
/Skill *name*, *skill*
Now we could charge an extreme amount for an Admin to use this on you, along with a script I made that you could buy XP. (I already have this made, the NPC also has Full Heal for a price, along with a Hero which I can make pretty much any number for different prices -- ALSO have a script that would Use commands to warp to town and such so players would not have to walk everywhere, and also have a script that would be a dice game you would play with the NPC. You pretty much do a command and he would randomly roll for you and announce the numbers rolled and pay at a certain rate, of how much you pay to play. - AGAIN these are all made already, minus the token/gold usage on them which isn't too hard to add. I thought about actually releasing these scripts, which i might actually do, if someone doesn't want to host or something.. ANYWAYS.. back to explaining)
The XP bought goes towards also "Till next level" Xp, so you level a bit just with paying for it along with get more spendable Xp.
Theres a few, things that would have to be worked out, like more content, potions and junk, all stuff that would more then likely be wrapped up in monster drops and if done correctly could make trade skills a bit fun.
Anyways I was pitching that Idea if anyone wants to pick it up and try it..
Well I guess we'll do it like this, If you want the scripts I talked about above send me a PM and ill send them out or add me on MSN. ( Zodiak_l33t@hotmail.com )
Also, I figured people were still complaining to me about scripts.
Heres a zipped folder I have, it includes a few scripts that different servers have used, enjoy.
