Quin'Dor is in desperate need...
 

Hello there, I'm Jimmy (aka Codein). Quian'Dor, a playerworld which mixes elements of RPing and also the features of an RPG, is in desperate of level designers.

Currently, our plan is to perfect the top set of levels and we cannot do this alone. We are not looking for the best but just hard workers.

We need scripters, level designers and graphics designers. We prioritise levels at this stage of development though.

But hey, I bet you're more interested in what Quian'Dor actually is about, in more detail.

What is Quian'Dor?[/url]

Quian'Dor, as stated above, is an role-playing world which aims to create an environment which is not only fun for role-players but also those who are completely new to it.

We feature a large overworld, parts of which will be dynamic. This means that you are able to dig tunnels in the underworld, an ever-changing forest island which is the home of Elves (a playable race, explained more later) and islands that are available to claim and build upon.

Our overworld is the home to many civilisations and races, some of which are unique. In the north, we have the large human city of Cronburg, the Elven colony of Sol'Gedai and hidden from the rest of the world, a halfling settlement which has been isolated over time. To the south, however, there is a much darker presence which includes the drow and the orcs.

Races? What races?

There will be many different races on Quian'Dor. Here is a list with indepth descriptions:

• Human - The humans are the most technologically advance race. The humans were the first to invent clockwork mechanics. A grand clock tower in the heart of Cronburg is the pinnacle of their achievements, which allows everybody who purchases a crude pocket watch (human made) to adjust the time to perfection. The humans are a powerhungry race. Their Imperialism keeps all the other races at the top of their attention. They have produced several great wizards and they are fine masons, which they display in the massive wall surrounding their city. Only the Dwarves have better masonry skills compared to this sturdy race.
• Elf - The elves are extremely advanced in magic and incredibly wise. They also hate destroying nature so their homes are often trees twisted in to shape by magic, so both elf and tree can co-exist. The elves have a colony on the main land and also an ever-changing forest island, which is their main residence. Elves also have an extremely large library which documents the history of Quian'Dor and also much more useful knowledge.
• Dwarf - The dwarves are very advanced in smithing and masonry. The best swords and armour come from the massive Dwarven Forges. Their biggest masonry achievement is, by far, The Wall, which is a thick large wall which defends the northern lands from the southern races.
• Halfling - The halflings inhabit Smewhabble, which has been isolated due to dark magic and self-defense.
  The halflings are curious folk and have discovered things that most people thought was impossible. They are exceptional at magic and have the greatest Academy of magic to be seen in the world. They named The Northern Academy Of the Magical Arts, since they found it fitting as that. Their greatest achievement really is the Black Wood. This natural barrier was once summoned by the great Mage Frumdid III. Frumdid, however, did not realize that Forests set their own balance and a swarm of incredibly fierce creatures called Baki infested the Woods. Thus isolating Smewhabble ever since.
• Drow - The Drow are the twisted relatives of the Elves. In the Year 215 of the Creation's Timeline they called a revolution and left to make their own destiny, a destiny of power. While the elves are nature love the Drow are destructive and cruel. Their capital of Dalar'Ni'Alorin is the most impressive building ever seen. They have enslaved the brutal Orcs as their servants and hold the reins of power in the lands south of The Wall.
• Orc - The Orcs live in Clans and are very hostile against everything, including each other. They settle disputes by fighting and the general rule is: The strongest is right. The children are raised with a hate against the northerlings. They are lead by the Clan’s Chieftains and above the Chieftains are the Drow, the Orc race is ruled stabile. There are three main clans of Orcs. The Kor’Narish, the Forest Clan, the Al’Narish, the Hill clan and the Nak’Narish, the Clan of the southern plains.
• Murdrian - The Murdrian are a race completely new to the Role-Playing world.
  They are a race of tall, broad, humanoids with green to gray skin tones. They live in their capital city Murdriath, hidden deep below the mountains where the Dwarves reside. Their civilization is unique in the matter that they dont have any leadership. Their leaders died at a great disaster which takes too long to write down here. The other Murdriai (Plural of Murdrian) live in large caves in polished stone houses and grow Mushrooms and breed Swines. The Murdriai offer their services to anyone who pays for it and they are fiercely loyal to their allies.

However, regardless of the natural bonded allies above are followed completely by your own free will. We encourage that you create your own destiny. Quian'Dor is your oyster :)

There will be many interesting features. One of which includes the island system.

The island system is where you can claim an island. From there, you can build onto it or sell it. You can build anything you request and your only limit is the amount of gold you have. Pubs, shops and playerhouses (which you can also sell or rent out) are all included in the possibilities but please, do not let my suggestions restraint your own creativity. Far fetched ideas will obviously be scrapped though.

You are able to fight monsters in real-time. This is basically to increase your stats. However, killing monsters won't be a grinding process as some monsters have a specific way to deal with them. Obviously, the bigger and more sophisticated the monster, the more sophisticated the method of slaying will be.

PvP battle will be slightly more turned based. However, instead of choosing single attacks (which is possible), you can group attacks together to form more powerful combos. These combos can be learned from battle trainers (which can very well be regular players), a book or your own experimentation.

As well as magic being used in battle, an accomplished magician can also use magic to perform basic material gathering tasks, such as cutting down trees, crumbling rocks to reveal minerals and supplying a plant with water. The effort needed to do this is based on your intelligence rather than strength.

We would also like magic to be as diverse as possible. This includes wand magic, potion magic, ritual magic. You can cast magic without a wand or stave but it will be less effective. You can also use the Magic Crystalis to perform magic and coupled with a stave, your magical ability is increased greatly. Magic Crystalis are shards of the World's Core and are extremely powerful. They are also, fortunately, extremely rare. Imagine the disaster that would ensue if the Drow had an abundance of these?

I was going to write up different ways of making money but, to be honest, there are thousands of possibilities :) Here is a small example Pimmeh has kindly written:

We also have a character system where initially, you can create up to 3 characters. This increases as the time you have played increased.

So, basically, now you know what the server is about, would you like to come and work for us?

Screenshots below. Please excuse the half-finished character creation window, just an example of what it will be like.

Just to let you guys know:
I completely approve of this topic :)

Edit:
I do have to say that we can use every staff type at this point. We still got lots to do.

I like the sound of the server so far. :)

Your ideas seem very well thought out. Seems this server could go very far if executed properly. My only problem thus far is your content isnt very appealing visually. But, Obviously you guys are here to recruit staff, so I hope you guys improve much, and good luck. Maybe I will be available to lend a helping hand here and there. :)

We would appreciate that greatly :)

Looks very good guys. You should get custom bodies in my opinion... ;)

Nice one Codein.. I'll try to help out as soon as I can but I don't think i could do a permanent job. I could do some levels for you if/when you need them. Just gimmie details :) Saying that i'm pretty busy with having a life at the moment so it may be slow.. but I'm here anyway. Server looks very promising. Good luck. ^^

pics1 won't look good rpg, only if you have some kind of classical rpg theme or something like that, but these ideas sound more medievil, but as Sage said, I like the ideas and it's well planned out, but making it better visually would make it even better!

But, good luck with the server and;
Use your time on the server, don't rush it :)

Of course I know it's not ^_^ And yes, a new tileset WILL be made but pics1 based. We are trying to complete enough levels and script first, the basics, before we start making it fancy.

I designed a simple sword, the most basic sword on Quian'Dor. We will probably need this when scripting the item and equip system and what not.

Pics1 just sucks period! :D

hehe ^^

So were busy with a new tileset, still based on the tile locations of pics1, and I wanted to show you guys something!

You guys have a good idea; don't turn it into a Zodiac tileset rip D:

Be creative, fool!

Just wait and see...we got another update...the grass is gonna look completely different then pics1 w/e
Did you honestly think Codein would make a Zodiac rip?

Good Luck with your progress! ^^b I like what I see.

What the ****?! A Zodiac tileset rip?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE **** YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT?! X_X

Sorry but never, ever, compare my tileset to Zodiacs tileset again plz.

Shameless bump!

So yeah...Quian pwns....need staff still!

lol This whole idea is ripped off of DND(Dungeons and Dragons). Everything like matches up perfectly lol

http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/a...3&d=1186513344

looks Zodiac to me.

Then you are blind.

Some of this stuff is what we've got in store for Val's update...

I have to be...Everyone is disagreeing with me. D:

I'm sorry if it seems stolen but it's not. Most of this stuff was devised by Pimmeh and some has been thought by my own random brainwaves.

I never played DnD in my life.

And Omake. I respect Valikorlia. I love Valikorlia. But Quian'Dor is (in my eyes) a much bigger plan then a RP server.

I. dont. steal.
Kthxbai

Maybe if you can make a true comparison? What looks similar? What does? Come on, tell me how? Apart from using pics1 (which will be disposed of anyway).

the only thing which looks similar is the water it has the same wave idea like zodiac but at all your tileset looks much better than zodiacs one

you haven't seen new val, have you? ;o

I've seen parts... Inverness was so kind to show me some stuff that was in development.
And dont think the stuff listed in this topic is the only thing possible.

I wanted to say: Quian'Dor is not similar to DnD (EDIT: No Quian'Dor is not simliar to Quian'Dor...silly Pimmeh) unless you can also be a farmer in DnD that conquers the grain market by hiring people to raid other farms.
The point is: anything is possible on Quian'Dor once it is finished. Anything that fits in the fantasy theme that is.

I want to ride puff the magic dragon and burn that villager that tried to buy farm raiders >:(

fixed

read my post above yours, can that be possible in quin'dor?

;) As we said, anything's possible.

Except drugs :/

I want to be a witch then. Can I?

I had a broomstick NPC that I had made once.. I just went around getting different people to make the gfx, gani, script, everything. And it was SO.. pretty. Valikorlia took it away the same day they uploaded it, rofl. But Babylon uploaded it for me =)

So yeah, what I'm getting at.

I want to FLY around on a broomstick. and be a witch. on QUIN'DOR. or anywhere else that will let me =)

Possibilities, man, possibilities.

Let me explain:
You can be a witch but you'll have to learn the magic. Im not sure of how im going to do this learning process yet but you really have to learn your spells over time. (It will not be that long, dont worry).
Then you need to think of a way to make your broom fly by magic spells and then you need to stabilize the spells.

So yes, it is possible, but be warned: There can be people hunting witches too.

note:Im terribly sorry for the double post but I was afraid that an Edit might not bump the thread.


Hey guys!
Update!
The staff and I (We have 4 people working on Quian...We need people lol!) have been working a bit less then in the beginning of the holiday but the development will jump foreward once school has started again. (For some reason I develop more when I got lots of other things to do XD. Holidays kill projects IMHO)
But here is a screenshot of the (Underdev) tileset!!!!!

Very nice!

btw the doors is a little big for the default characters xD

Who said anything about default bodies?
I've been toying around with the idea of custom bodies but I need a really experienced GFX person for that

Just some tile updates =P
