I've always wanted a party system in this game...but:

PARTY SYSTEM
- all players in party must be within 10 levels
- must be over level 5 to join
- all XP gained is shared including combat, magic, tradeskills, etc
- 50% of XP a person earns they keep, the rest given to other members... Maybe 100% put in pool? Tweakable
- other members given XP based on their level. Sum all levels up and use their level on the sum to ge a % that they get
- must be within a screens length or around 10 spaces else you can't move
- any member can invite a player
- any member can quit anytime
- death or exit world auto-quits, maybe if you resurrect close enough it doesn't quit or maybe you resurrect in middle of party

the yellows have issues that aren't really bad, but what if a few level 1's want to team up and take the elf fort?  should craft xp really be applied to a party?

the reds are just bad!  a mage hanging back a little to do buffs/heals might be more than 10 spaces away from the group, if s/he can't move and has crappy def(like most mages) they're going to die.  death shouldn't kick you from a party, you should still be in party but have to get back to the area to get xp...

also the team should have a leader, the team leader should be the only person who can invite, and should also be the basis of the 10 level range(5 higher or lower than team leader is max).
why does Fox keep cancelling good shows?

Well for party system i was thinking.  (this is Schalker,Saiyan,Sayien,Uderghad,ichikai)

kinda like guild exp system.

~can join at level 1
~exp would be gained like normal
~however 15% extra exp, no matter how many players in party.
~all extra exp would be put into a exp pool then instantly distributed between party members.

~have a couple options for exp distribution
a. completely shared
b.percentage shared   (party leaders choice)
c.exp based on level {
      say there was 2 members of said party. a level 10 and a level 30.
lv 30 would get 70% exp and the level 10 would get 30% exp.
recalculates for every exp kill.
}

d.level sync{
 when you join a party and sync. all members skills are capped at the highest skill of the lowest player, mana,life, and stam. however exp is a bit different   party exp total/players in party to players but before players gain said exp  it is calculated based on their level since they are synced down to the lowest member. so this type of party would promote low levels and high levels being able to train with each other.
exp for skills gained would also be multiplied with the level sync effect on.
60 second cool down for syncing , desyncing and resyncing.
}

e. exp banking{
     basically exp is saved in pool untill someone leaves the party, joins the party or until party is disbanded.
}

also as for range of party before no xp, i think within the sector as later on its more effecient for ppl to kill in different 50x50 squares, than team kill the same mobs.  so if all members are in say sector 2 2 that should be fine. if 1 member is even one square out of sector tho there exp gains for the party and exp party gains to self are stopped until back in range.

all npcs should be able to have 100 quests in the ini. that way all junk sellers could be combined , that way you dont have to drag and drop 1 item at a time. after grinding for a bit say on elfs. i dont wanna have to bring back 50+ elf ears and drag and drop 1 at a time. would be nice if it paid based on what i drop into the npc instead of 1 item per thing. or atleast make an option for that in the new sever ini. also would be nice to be able to in scripting check if a player has an item then take said item and directly create and drop things into players said inventory, instead of creating on ground, checking if on ground, then checking for uuid then moving to someones inventory.

also make it so in the ini one can specify how much exp a monster gives based on 1 point of health.

would be nice to have drop to ground from mule as well. bags within bags would be cool too but calculate all weight.

make stealth gain exp based on scan fail lv of monster instead of based on player character lv. or atleast make it modifyable in world ini. or make it so all skill and items exp are settable per monster, per action.

in multiuse make it so fail exp can be turned on/or off for certain actions. for example if a lv 1 failed making a disterlery they cant just mass level from fail exp.

fix it so when something is forged, anything its datas are reset. or make it so each type of soemthing has a  different variable for each type of data.  like a door data 1~4 shouldnt be the same for armor and jewels.

make it so when ur stealthed you cannot trade with someone. how annoying is that when ur going into pvp and someone trade glitch attacks u. (granted you could turn of secure trades but thats an unnessary pain).

make it so there is a perk for being pk.  so say you do pk quest now you get +10% more exp from monsters or something. so there is an incentive for being pk.

make it so max exp gain per hit can be infinite or atleast in the billions instead of 32k

make a type of warp trap that could be used that warps in without a warp sound effect and warp animation. as if i was tying in quests with float maps.

fix traders to always show actual price set for an item without enchantment data effective price shown.

remove the ip limitation and character limitation. make it up to server admins in world ini
a.some people like to try and have alot of characters and promotes more gameplay suprizing amount of people like to multi why deny them , as they can still get around it with static ip or vpns easy.

b.make it so admins can choose clients=#  and characters=# in world ini

in the map editor make it so all tiles can be added, water/ caves etc.

make it so all surfaces are shown in /surface and dont put a cap on how much a admin can add.

make it so there is a cast last spell /g kinda thing with auto targeting and also with that make it so
its pvp toggable as well.


well thats all i can offer for now lol
