First off I am glad that many people have taken an interest in my server, thank you. Secondly, I don't know if it's worth it at the time to spend many hours to fix a new client when Alot of people will just join RealOTs in or less than 7 days. I can make it 7.72 and modify the client a little bit but I will need someone to test Black D and Tibiaauto for me. Also the server needs to be closed for a few days to remaking the map once again and also cover up the bugs that was found on the 7.4 map. And since there is barely anyone on the server, I might just listen to this thread. But of course I will also listen to the players that are not active here.
First question is, and please do answer in honest since it will take me several hours to fix it:
Is it worth changing the client due to the reason of realots.net is coming?
Second: Would a reset be needed? I am not sure if the database matches the 7.72 engine, and would you then be upset if I, in the end, would be forced to reset?
Third: Give me ideas of the PvP Formula/System to reduce random player killing in low levels and in general.
My own ideas would be PvP Only (not enforced), longer time to decrease frags and keep the 3/rs 6/ban formula.
I don't know how to make it better. I can't make videos... and I made this thread a week before start so alot of people did see it coming but chose to play other servers since they were also opening.
in my oppinion you can't compare your server to Realots since it's entierly different servers.
Anyways, back to topic
i would say it's defenetly worth it.
Sure, Realots is comming out and people are super excited to play it!
When Tibianic came out everyone was hyped aswell, the server had about 300 players when it released!
If i'm not wrong Tibianic and Realots have approximitly the same experiance, and people quit Tibianic after about a month or two.
Who knows if Realots will live up to it's potential? I won't even play Realots because i don't have enough time or effort to put into such a server, and i'm probobly not the only one with that oppinion.
What i'm trying to say is that people who don't like to play servers like realots will still be playing your server.
Let's say it wont be a success. You'll still have a great oldschool server with a custom map that supports Direct X9/Open GL that you can host in the future.
Yours, Drinc.
I don't play here because I heard negative things about the server, and the low playerbase. If you want more people you should fix some things that the players complained about so they don't complain about them again and scare people from trying the server. Also advertise the server on more places. I heard the map is empty, that rly got me running
Ey why cant u open a war server like realisticwar and make donation weapons and stuff, then u will get money and we will get warm up for play your server.
