To all those mmm whats the word hmmm Dinkalinks How do you think the world improves?

BY BUILDING OFF OF OTHER IDEAS For example cave man finds rock with copper throws and fire next cave man takes melted copper and runs in to a storm and discoveres electricty then another weirdo comes along and makes apple so as you see people use other peoples ideas......

Explanation

Spoiler

So back in the day when Capture the Flag was still around, I was one of the few people who actually played it regularly. What I did was get my guild together, and we'd challenge other guilds for sport to go against us. It was incredibly fun. Since it has been removed I have become extremely bored with Classic, and have left the server for other servers, thus ending my days of iClassic. But maybe, if CTF returned, my love for Classic would be resurrected.

How To Resolve Boosting

Spoiler

I know you said you have more important things going on so you are unable to work on this. But a really simple way you could do this could be to make the building like Guild Spar, so that kills won't count.

Suggestions

Spoiler

What I suggest you do is put up a sign inside it with a leaderboard of most wins, and make it like guild spar, certain amount of rooms, viewing rooms etc. Maybe you could even make a contest here for levels and make new rooms for it, just some suggestions

honestly, i've never seen anyone play CTF when it was open, but when it was closed apparently all these people want it back. It's like getting an option to do something but you don't do it but you're glad that the fact that you can use it.

Ya, it is.

I know it is not but its easier than making a whole quest or so because the scripts are already there
Bringijg ctf back would increase playercount and Greatly improve the server

because graal 17 years ago was the same as graal now

If you are going to make a thread explaining a solution to a problem, perhaps you should know the actual problem first.

Boosting was only a slight problem. The big problem was the fact that people were spawning with 0.5 health everytime they died. Dusty has already explained that it has something to do with the client script which would be very time consuming to fix, and CTF just wasn't, isn't, and won't be a priority for the classic staff.

How do you really know? Do you have any development experience, scripting experience? It's just a bit insulting when people who have no development experience make assumptions about what is "so easy" and what isn't.

No it wouldn't.

Development Experience in general: Kinda
On graal : no

Im just saying that using what I know it could be Just recopying what allows pks in houses not to count on stats to be put in ctf  

CTF already exists in the form of guild towers. However, there aren't enough guild towers for a more casual form of CTF, which may (or may not) be an issue.

I'm pretty sure boosting was the main reason it closed. People spawning at .5 was what made boosting so easy.

You could spam the entrance of the opposite team and get a lot of kills or spam your own teams spawn cave with bombs and get a lot of kills.


The reason it wasn't fix was NOT because it was hard, but because it would be time consuming to redo the whole system. If I find dusty's quotes where he said that I'll post them.
