Ah yes, I did post some things to certain people telling them that the old MMO Download was useless, but I never made an official post revealing our plans to release the new one. I wanted to wait until we were sure we were doing one.

Which apparently, we are. Thanks, Snake.

Well, its kinda pointless to have a site if theres no new content...besides, its summer, so we have plenty of time to work on it. So, yeah, things will be alot smoother when I get my actual server up...until then, Ill run it from me compy.

Mitch · Moderator

Heck, if we're pushing for new content, I have a game I made a while back that's hilarious, if I do say so myself. If I could actually get Mura to put it on the site, that'd be cool. I'll see about giving the game to him to put up for download when he gets back from Kentucky.

At the moment, Im gonna have to go with id Software's policy and say "When its done."

However, we actually have a world map made to work off of, so were not just making it as it comes to us...therefore, production will be alot quicker. Right now its just a matter of how much time we have to work on it.

oki day. will the new software have super nintendo like graphics or will it be different?

kannibalkaney

Mitch · Moderator

Yep. Super Nintendo style. I'd also like to add that there will be emoticons (If I can figure out how to work 'em...) and different spawn points for the different classes.

Ex: Warriors span in enemy filled plains, Thieves spawn in the prison (although they can easily escape), Fighters and Mages spawn in their respective Academies, etc.....there will be other classes, but for now, we're sticking to the basics. Later, I might post what all the Strength, Speed, Defense, etc. stats do. It's easy to understand for the most part, but it can get complicated...especially with speed.

cool super nintendo gives a classic feel to a game. you know the way we used to play games many years ago

all things considering i think that i would be a mage so i would get spawned back at my academy.

Yea, gotta love the nastolgia, and the SNES was the best, or atleast tied for the best system ever in my eyes... And I guess I'll try and see what everyone else is before I decide what my character will be, if I play the game.

Mitch · Moderator

Oh, and here's something I forgot to mention, although this statement is kind of like preaching to the choir....

I was working on the game a while back, and I started making spells. Here's the way it'll most likely work. Most classes can learn basic spells like Fire, Ice, Thunder, etc.

However, I made it so that Mages are the only class that can learn healing spells....like Heal. Heal will recover a lot of HP for a little MP, so naturally only Mages could use it. Of course, there will be certain skills that only classes other than Mage can learn. I think that making Heal Mage exclusive is a good idea, don't you guys?

Tsercaes Diov · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Healing magic is the only magic worth making a fus over anyways... Ah well, I guess the nonmages will have to rely on items... How I loathe buying and using items...I hate things that are consumable... Well, as long as the drops don't suck to bad... :P

Mitch · Moderator

Well, I was just wanting to know what public opinion was before I made healing magic Mage-exclusive.....heck, for that matter, I could give all classes limited healing magic and just give the Mages more powerful healing magic.

And uh......what did you mean by "the drops"?

Tsercaes Diov · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well I would think that if any of the classes were to be able to do any magic at all, it should be some very nominal healing effects... that's usually the norm... And by drops I mean... Well... drops... when stuff you kill drops stuff... in the game they dropped gold, ores, and itms sometimes... If i recall correctly... But what I was getting at was if I went from level 1 to level 7 and didn't earn enough money to buy a potion or find a potion during the whole thing... Well I would definately want to be able to heal myself...

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 8, 2005

one of the primary reasons i go for the mage in almost any game, is well, i kinda have a fantasy about being able to use magic. could you imagine i someone made you angry and you could give them a little shock with thunder 2 to remind them not to mess with you.

hey mitch i like the idea of only having mages being able to use healing magic. it kinda gives mages an advantage because most mages in most games have realitively weak atack and defense so it would come in very handy. (redundant isn't it )

Just don't get smacked with a rubber chicken ;)

I remember a catgirl sprite... whatever they go with instantly beats any mage fantasy >_>;;

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 8, 2005

you know i think that this is something that you all need to put in the mmo. hot female feline demi humans that will make any game automatically 5pts better on the kannibal scale

Oh, ok, I gotcha. I'll be sureto throw in more goodies for enemies to "drop". I thought you meant like....drugs or....something.

Anyways, for now, the healing magic will only be available to Mages, but I'll make the prices for consumable healing items more affordable.

Oh, and yes, we do have a catgirl sprite.

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 8, 2005

mmmm catgirls :retrieving mind from gutter: i think that one of my characters will be a catgirl sprite mage. how big will the world be, and will there be multiple worlds like on some rpgs?

kannibalkaney

Mitch · Moderator

We want to keep things simple for now.....just one world to begin with.

You'll have to come find me if you want your sprite changed. If you're a member of the forums, I'll change your sprite for free. (Otherwise, pay me in-game money. We'll discuss a price later.) There will also be property to buy when we get to it.

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 8, 2005

nice.... property. can't wait.

kannibalkaney

Mitch · Moderator

Property meaning like, a house or something.

This time around, we're gonna have a set price for houses, and it ain't gonna be cheap. We can't have EVERYONE running around with houses.......just the people who play enough to earn the money to buy one.

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 8, 2005

that sounds good, i will be looking forward to that. hopefully, i'll have enough time to play between jumbling college and work to play it enough so i could own property.

kannibalkaney

Mitch · Moderator

Well, in special cases like that, we may make exceptions....but other than that, the price is set, but may change if we run out of room. (Which doesn't seem likely, but you never know.)

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 9, 2005

have you all talked about a price on how much a house in the mmo game would be?

kannibalkaney

Mitch · Moderator

Not yet. We still have to make items and shops before we can make property for sale. You kow, to have something to base the selling price on. We have to know how fast people get money.

Tsercaes Diov · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

And there is no need to know the price yet anyways, none of us will have enough money to buy it right fromm the start anyways, more than likely.

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 9, 2005

that makes it more interesting. you don't want it to be too easy for people to get money.

kannibalkaney

Snake · Moderator

Money wont be HORRIBLY hard to come by, but it will take you awhile to stock up on it. Monsters will mostly drop small amounts of money/single-use items, but occasionally a weapon or cash-pile. Were still debating the whole price range of houses...theres not much on variety though. I was thinking about having an economy house, a normal house, and a deluxe house, but what can you do with them? Have fancier sprites? I dunno, we may just make them bigger and fancier.

kannibalkaney · Date: Jun 12, 2005

you could do like in fable and that character's sprite could get married to an npc of the opposite gender like in fable. that's just an idea the sprites spouse could heal your character when he or she talked to the spouse. the spouse could grow a garden for the sprite and the sprite could get free items from his or her own garden.
