First of all, that hour or so when Azrael and Rufus hosted the singles thing, really gave the server some fun. Also the new bodys came out, the weird angle room in singles bar (removed already..aw) and then Ruf hosted horse race. Sure was an hour of fun! Now the main goal of this post is because i want to share some ideas for future improvements. (Btw, somebody should teach me how to start threads in the right location. Thanks.) And since i simply enjoy using spoilers to organize posts, get ready to click some spoilers! If you dont have time, then at least read the last spoiler. Its my favorite.
-York Town idea-
Spoiler
Everybody wants octo morph! Would be cool if a (zombie) pyrat baddy would be placed in possible a new room in the pyrat island caves. (Where you hunt for eyepatches.) Of course this npc wouldnt be just eny plain baddy. It would be in a giant room, like the inside of the already existing caves, but no walls except on the border. The baddy would be slow, deal 1 heart pet hit, and would have 100-200 hearts of hp. Mabye more. Like 1000. Not exactly! But somewhere, where crowds of players would be swarming the npc, and it would take at LEAST 2 minutes to kill it. Of course, the person would deals the most damage, or who gets the last killing hit, gets the octo. I hope you get my point.
-Snowtown idea-
Spoiler
That snow slide is totally ignored now. Would be great if it would be extended all the way to york town. As in you slide down the first half, then you can either return to snowtown, or slide further. If you slide further you would slide all the way to york town, and jump OVER the york church. At this point it would be a one way adventure, since I dont think theres eny reasonable place to put another lantern only cave leading back to snowtown. (Mabye the right of the blacksmith?)
-Graveyard Express!?-
Spoiler
You guys (and gals!) know how in deadwood theres that ladder in the dug up grave? Ok good. There should be a dug up grave in every grave yard. When you climb down, you then need to use -bat morph. (Or something els. I wrote bat morph as a place holder.) When you use bat morph in this cave you will automatically move like on a railroad. This 'bat railroad' would connect ONLY the towns that have a graveyard. (York, deadwood, and graal city. By the cathedral.) It just hit me. (NOT literally.) These caves would require a bat draisine. So which of you gfx artists would like to make this bat draisine. Make it the new belle isle contest mabye....hmmm...
-Guild *Wars-
Spoiler
EVERYBODY LOVES SPAR! *All pkers throw eggs and tomatoes.* I take that back. It also seems that guilds with 1k hours usually 'retire' or aim for 5k. But either way, they become somewhat bored. *Crowd thinks* So since theres guild spars, 5 vs 5, not all members can participate. Why not make a level *cough* *cough* *Points at LAT fans.* with 2 towers, or forts, close to each other. There would still be a medium length path between the towers. Lets say, the length of that blue wall at york town? It would be twisted though, to be a NICE path. *LAT fans shout "we know how to make levels kid"* Now only guilds with 1k hours+ would be able to participate. Im only not sure where this would be put. Id prefer to have it once of twice a year to announce best tower guild of the year or half year. (Only first place gets prize. NO not a hat. They got that for 1k, that would ruin the 5k idea. Prize would mabye be a mount, morph, or guild bow. I mean theres enough colorfull bombs out there. THis would also be a warp to level like gst.) So the two guilds would be warped to their forts, each on the roof. When the war begins, the doors open and the guilds charge each other. If somebody dies, they respawn in a roof inside their fort. (Like the tent at york idea.) Except this room would be locked for 30 seconds each time a guild member dies and respawns their. Example:
Spoiler
Player (Reds) kills Unknown (Bluey). Unknown (Bluey) respawns in the room. He cannot leave for 30 seconds. There is a countdown in the room. If time is up he can leave and continue to protect his guilds fort. UNLESS.. Unknown dies and is in the room. There are X seconds left and Johny (Bluey) dies at that moment. He appears in the room where Unknown is waiting. When Johny enters, the timer is RESET to 30 seconds. THAT way, the goal of guild wars, is either to capture the flag (100 hp) or exterminate all the other guild members in a chain so the entire other guild is inside the respawn room. (Possibly a script can work that detects how many players are in that room and if it reaches 25 the other guild wins.)
Since I do realize these guild wars would take long, then only the top 6-10 guilds that enter can actually participate. Also for the people that want to watch the guild wars, somebody would need to make a script for the magnifying glass to be able to choose which room of the guilds wars you want to spectate. (And you can auto-focus on your favorite member.) I realize this would take LOTS of work. Im pretty sure it would pay off. If you mainly would like to support this guild war idea, then post "I support classic guild wars idea" or make it your new signature.
I actually want to give one of my bodies I made from scratch the store to add some variety. All I have to offer though that I made it is my word so I don't know if it would be accepted. Anyways I like the new bodies added.
I agree with the snow slide, it is totally ignored and think about how awesome an extended one would be! Admin's could host a race where whoever reaches York the quickest by slide gets a prize!
