Development

Postby GDAUTUMN » Aug 2, 2013 (11:49 pm)

Now, I'm not promising anything... but I may poke around and work on some stuff.

Keep in mind, I can't really program, so I'm pretty limited in what I can do.

Things I can do:
Shops/Items
Fests
Cities/Areas
Auctions/Raffles

And probably a couple other things that I can't remember at midnight...

I MAY be able to squeak in a new critter, but I'd have to look at it and see if I can do it.

Things that can't be done:
Systems
Guilds/spells/abilities/etc
Anything heavily dependent on coding.

What kind of things that I can do would you guys like to see?

I think some alternate hunting areas would freshen the place up a bit. Even if it has recycled critters. Maybe mix and match them...

Like a new Pirate Fortress that's being invaded by Ogre Mages. Tell me that would not be epic.

Don't listen to him, something about him just isn't right I tell ya... ogre mage invasion would only be epic if they brought along rabbit-riding monkeys throwing stones at my kneecaps, which is about where his forehead is so these stones could do some damage to my knees should they miss his forehead. I like the idea of new items in the stores, maybe secret rooms in the stores that need to be discovered as one notices a slight discription change in the room. Festivals are fun and with your birthday (happiest birthday ever) and mine only one day apart (18th albeit some years certainly between the two) I think a festival is in order.

Thanks for everything,

I can't put a festival together in under 2 weeks. LOL.

And I'll be 30. Not looking forward to it. LOL

invasions? GM assisted storylines? Some GM presence in general just so people see someone is there?

The problem with being able to see a GM is that people like to bug the living hell out of them. I used to be one back on a GMUD, so I can't blame any GM for hiding. We're a mob, let's face it people. And we scare the living crap out of me sometimes.

Also, new hunting areas! Just going to restate that one. It'd give me incentive to create an alt. And then you'd all be like "I wonder who Bolvar's new alt is!" as he went around murdering other newbies.

What Bolvar said.

It's a lot of time/effort to do events. And yep, every time I log in I get someone bugging me to do something. LOL. I have a few players that are just chatty and want to talk, which is cool, but usually when I log in it is because I'm doing something/fixing something, or just poking around, or sometimes I'm just in to chat and play castles.

Hunting areas are something I can look into. I've only done ONE critter ever, so it will probably depend on if I can get Exxy to tell me how to do it again. ROFL. Is there a specific level range we need? I don't know about putting in anything higher than the celestials, but if there are any gaps or anything like that, I can look into it.

If you're going for entirely new areas, I think all the lower levels are pretty well done in terms of things to hunt. You'll kill dozens of different enemy types between levels 1 and 20.

I'd say it'd be nice to have some alternatives to jungathas and crictons, preferably things that drop loot. Slugging through those levels is slow and relatively boring when the only thing you get out of it is experience. There's no surprise magics to fuel ambition.

Also I think it'd be neat if there was another place to hunt besides goblins when starting out. Maybe some morality affiliated areas, like say if a person wanted to role play as an evil character, they'd start out killing good things.. like faeries or something. Maybe Semanri Guard Trainees! And if they wanted to roleplay as a good character they'd start out killing lowbrow bandits and petty violent criminals. Just some food for thought.

Anyway, if you're just out to mix some pre-existing critters together in new hunting areas, I'm all for that as well. I've got a few ideas, such as the Jungathas versus the Crictons, as boring as they may be. They're both violent creatures living on a small island together, yet they have no contested territory.. Feels a little too divided to me. I think it'd be neat to have an area where young crictons try to hunt down the bigger jungathas. And you can hunt down both of them.

I could go on forever, you really should just get me on there as help! Happy Birthday by the way! Sorry I missed it.

I use to GM for Eaxia WAYYYYY back when. I would love to see a festival, and even help plan it! As long as i'm not laying dead in zombies with no head or leg. I know how to do items and areas as well, though it has been a while. I can at least write it up and email it to Autumn. Let me know!

I always tell players that they are more than welcome to email me things whenever they wish. :)

No, they want a festival. Only silly necros would turn down the opportunity to party so that they could knit. :P
