Since Eryst really wasn't going anywhere, due to not only lack of interest, but my own inactivity, I've decided to take it in a new direction.
I want to make Eryst a fun mix of role-playing and in-depth game-play to give the players more variety.
Although some of the ideas are a bit recycled, I hope to use them in new ways that people have not yet thought of.
The game-play will be partially level-based. Upon starting, you will be asked to choose a race and class (We plan to make the selection more limited for trials, in hopes of being allowed to eliminate observer mode). The races and classes will all be equal in the end, but will simply have different skills. All events and sparring will be done classic style, to even the playing field. There will be classic style sparring arenas all across the map for convenience. We will make player-killing optional, so that lower level players will be able to progress without being constantly beaten up by the higher level players, while the higher levels may feel free to kill each other if they so choose. There will also be a spar arena specifically for sparring with the regular game-play style.
There will be weapons and armor, and money will be obtained by selling the dropped items or by killing enemies (Non-player enemies that is).
As for the role-playing aspect, it will also be optional. We will make some sort of indicator, perhaps an icon above the players head, that shows whether that player is a role-player or not. Those who do choose to role-play will be able to change that indicator to show whether they are actively role-playing at that moment or simply out-of-character.
We also plan to have multiple character slots, so you can create many different characters. If you choose to role-play, you will be given the option to create a story for your character. This will be approved or disapproved by a role-playing admin, which is a staff member specifically given the job of watching the interaction of role-playing members and making sure arguments are solved and problems fixed.
We will also have a wiki. If your character is approved, you will receive a page on the wiki displaying his or her character's information. Minor additions may be made to a character after submitted, but they must be approved by a role-playing admin before they are applied. Wiki admins and role-playing admins will be separate, but will be working closely with each other.
We can't do this alone though.
We are hiring a lot of staff.
We are searching for:
At least 3 scripting staff.
We need a lot of scripting done to make the user interface and the game-play meet the goals set out.
At least 5 levels staff.
We want to make a very large world, with many places to explore.
At least 5 graphics artists.
We want to have a completely unique look. This is a classic style server, with a sort of medieval setting. We want the server to look as real as possible, so the players are brought into the server more than they would be with regular, cartoon-like graphics.
At least 3 Story-writing staff.
Since it is a role-playing server, history will be a huge benefactor. We will need good ideas for quests, a lot of back-story, and many other works of creativity to make an in-depth world for the players to discover.
At least 5 Role-playing staff.
We will need very constant role-players who know a lot about acting and who have good judgement skills. You may end up working with a lot of role-playing issues that players have.
At least 3 Wiki staff.
We plan to make a wiki with all of the history the story-writing staff create, and also all the information and player-made character stories that the role-playing staff approve. You must be proficient at navigating and editing wiki pages/websites.
At least 2 Gani artists.
We will need many different custom weapons and interesting actions, and therefore many ganis as such. We also plan to have customized movement and such.
I have applications ready for all of these positions. Please contact me through one of the following methods to receive one.
