The New Gold Server: Ideas to help Graal
|
My ideas are getting buried in the Lifetime Classic thread, so I'll start a few new ones.
The New Gold Server
Purpose: to bring in money from new clients based on a hot new game
Options: I can make a server - I have two or three notebooks full of ideas on a fully-custom distributed-gani character system, make it a postmodern platform RPG with a dynamic play-area and player-submitted quests for a constantly enriching environment...but I imagine everyone who suggested it is of a like mind, They've got a server that could go gold if only Stefan helped Them...
Expansion: Maybe the problem isn't so much that we should make A Gold Server, so much that Everyone should have the level of support that only Stefan can (currently) give - maybe if he were given a reprieve from fixing symptoms he could build tools that let us fix things ourselves.
Requires: The undivided attention of Stefan, no matter who's making this new cool server.
Alright, we've got Kingdoms, a medieval MMORPG Money-Heavy Server, and we've got Zone, the ONO LOOK OUT IT'S A RAY GUN server. Two genres out of a nigh-infinite variety. Sure, there should be more - why aren't there? Is it that PW owners aren't willing to make their servers go gold? Is it that it's too hard to make a server that good without Stefan tweaking the engine Just For You? Is the bar set too high for ordinary mortals to meet between classes and working our minimum-wage jobs?
Seriously, I don't know. Hey, some of you guys have worlds...? |
