Playerworld Input Needed

Sousuke · #1 10-08-2003, 07:35 PM

Hi, if I were to build a classic-style playerworld with a "Secret of Mana" feel to it would anybody want to play or would it be doomed to stay at the bottom of the list? It would be very organized, challenging and content would always be fresh.

It pains me to see all these new playerworlds with their complicated systems and flashy graphics. I miss the old tileset and not simple, but fun quests. It would be different. I just really suck at descriptions. :P

For example. I have this idea for a job. Monster Capturing, you can charm monsters once they're low on health. They can be magically placed in a special box and then sold or used for their magical abilities. Another job I was thinking about is Treasure Hunting. You could use a shovel, but you need to earn your "Digging License" first. There would be three different levels. The last job was Card Collecting. This would be sort of like "Triple Triad" from Final Fantasy, but a lot different. The cards are tradable, some are rare and some are not. There would be tournaments and such.

Oh well, please give me some feedback on these ideas. I'm thinking about calling the world... Rune. I know it's not original, but :P.

At first only GOLD+VIP accounts would be able to get onto your playerworld. If you are good enough (certain guild lines and requirements will be drafted up later) you may be moved to either the hosted playerworlds tab or the classic tab.

Playerworlds tab: to be added later you will be visible, still have to pay and still only gold + vip accounts will be able to get onto it

Classic tab: free months hosting (or however long your in there for) all accounts can get on it

______________________________

Each month we will ask if any playerworld would like to apply to become visible. At the moment we just look at what you have and compare it to current playerworlds in the classic tab.

The monster capturing sounds a lot like Pokemon...And the Digging License stuff sounds like Mega Man Legends..

I can't comment really.

It sounds like you haven't thought this out, or you just aren't posting enough information.

I wouldn't know, but it seems that a lot of players like that classic feel to me.

Pokebox go! Yay I caught Kuzachu! Kuzachu, use your dig attack! Wow I got a treasure box! It's got cards in it! Wow, these cards release monsters that I can battle! It's time to DUEL! Oh no, that card released a bad monster! It transported me to the digital world!!! Woah, there are more monsters here! Yay, I caught one! Kuzamon, digivolve to... MEGAKUZAMON!!! Yay!

Everyone has their ideas they want to implement, but I wouldn't really play a server unless they executed it well enough.

Kon always has that attraction towards his stories...

You are all right. I won't make the playerworld. Thank you for your input.

I didn't mean to dampen your spirits though. Maybe try to play around with the ideas a little more and see what you come up with.

It's for the best. Until you can think up a lot of fairly original concepts, and then plan everything out ahead of time, you shouldn't be rushing into making a playerworld.

Just waking up one morning and thinking "hey, I should make a playerworld where you catch monsters and keep them as pets and use their abilities! why does that sound so familiar?"

You need to definitely sit down and plan things more. I'm not trying to discourage you from making a good playerworld, I'm trying to encourage you not to make a bad one.

Sousuke · #14 10-09-2003, 07:37 PM

I thought the ideas would be fun, but I guess I was wrong.
