This is a missionish server, It will NOT be focusing on skill levels, with the exception of trade skills.
What exactly is the point of this? Not sure, it's mostly experimentation.
What theme is it? Modern Post-Zombie Apocolypse
What features does/will it have?
New skills such as Scavenger which will be used to increase the chances of your survival. It is a 2x2 world that will have a few small (20x20, maybe a 40x40 "big" town) that can become completely infested, and liberated by a player. How the zombies will work, if there is something within 50 units of them, they will hunt it down. What that means, if you have your "base" situated in the middle of a sector, expect some heavy zombie attacks on you. Currently, there are 3 armor types, 2 weapons for each skill, and buildable barricades, that can be built on any land. Currently, a player can only create Sandbags, fencing, and razorwire. Each has a "lifetime" and will become a pile of ruins eventually (typically within 5 minutes of being placed) Ruins can be salvaged and you can get a part of what was put in to make the barricade. I'm attempting to implement destructable barricades, but they aren't working as planned (they do not become destroyed after extended contact with a monster) All players will have *most* trade skills. In addition, they will only be able to train 1 weapon skill. Speccing is not necessary, because Defense skills have been removed. Before you freak out, please remember that there are very few ranged mob, and those that are ranged do not do large amounts of damage. Mainly the only way to die is to become surrounded and bashed to death. Attrib points will be relatively low, and the only atribs you would *really* need to place are in str, life, and quick. Dex will be the main attrib for trade skills. I expect to be ready to let players on within an hour or two. At first it won't be very sophisticated (very little done on itemusages and such) so please be patient.
When will it be released? Within a few hours.
How long untill there is enough content to make it optimum for playing? Most likely there will be a full world within a week.
How long do you think this server will provide "fun" content? I am hoping the server to be played for a month, high hopes, but I plan on adding more and more content DAILY.
Will the world ever be expanded? If, by popular demand and the space is needed, I will increase the world size.
How often will you wipe the server? Hopefully I won't need to wipe, as more content emerges, it should balance out and provide seamless gameplay from addition to addition.
How much, exactly, will be pre-fabricated in the world, as opposed to just an open world? As content is implemented, I hope for around 30-40% of the world to actually be created by me or another admin, the rest being player created "bases" and wilderness.
How will player bases work? If a player wishes to advance in the trade skills, he will be forced to create a base to create and improve armor, weapons, or tools. The base itself, will be able to have hired guards so that it is not up to just the players to defend it.
How will gold work? Gold will not be dropped by monsters, players will have to buy and sell from the merchants, or eachother to earn gold. Gold is only used to buy off merchants, hire guards, and buy a mule/trader. Mules and traders will cost a large amount, while guards will be relatively cheap compared to mules.
I'll post back when it's ready, or if you have any questions.
