Being that all of my rl friends are starting again, looks like once again I am playing the horses with you Ryan. Thank you for the professional feedback responses on the forum, you had my respect earned when Classicus was first released and you lost it when you let your staff/server die off. Giving you one last final try here, and might as well tell you what you should do to 100% guarantee a long term life of your server. Will it have 800 people? I don't know but I can PROMISE you if you do these things it will last A LOT longer than the 3 months last time
@zeebee I was Aminocore and Bloodblade bro
1. Fix Shielding
Self explanatory, monsters ignoring shielding is just stupid. Makes training obsolete and eks were literally lvl 190 with 65 shielding.
2. Fix End Game Quest Rewards
--Annihilator
If you leave the server how you have it there is no point in doing this quest at all other than decorative purposes. Shielding doesn't work, thus both over powered to shit POI rewards are 100x better than both sca and sov. MPA is more armor and with the loot rate you have they aren't even rare.
+Increase Demon Armor to 20 armor or 18 and give it 10% protection to fire. This will not effect UE or burst arrow damage since they are both physical, it will only help team hunts with lots of dls. Even if you make it so you don't take damage from fire fields with it on would make it worth it for POI Dls.
+Allow Annihilation Bear to reduce the price of blessings when in your inventory sort of like phoenix egg. This would make the quest have very sought after items and would encourage people to do the quest a lot more often. Don't like that idea? Allow it to give free boat travel then. There are endless possibilities you can have it do without it being over powered and still make it very valuable.
--Pits of Inferno
Rewards how you have it for mages and knights are so ridiculously over powered compared to paladins that is almost useless.
+Reward should be:
**Bp of Holding (24 slots 18 oz)
**Frozen Starlight (bigger area of light equal to magic light wand),
**Choose one of the following donation items: avatar blessing scroll, blue djinn, green djinn
**Choose one of the following epic items: Warlord Sword (53 atk 2 handed), Great axe (52 atk 2 handed), Thunder Hammer (49 atk 1 handed), Magician Hat (arm 1 ml +3 only wielded properly by sorcerers and druids), Winged Helmet (arm 10 speed +10)
3. Balance Knights
This is rather simple, and before anyone starts complaining ask anyone that played an ek in old classicus and they will tell you. INCREASE SKILL RATES and MAGIC RATES. I am not saying you should be able to get 90.90 in a week but my ek was a couple of months old of non-stop life ring and training for the most part and I BARELY had ml 8. Another option would be to increase skill rings to +8 stats.
Also, why not add the 5% physical protection to Dwarven Armor? This would help greatly with sd combos and at least give them a chance to survive against getting 1 shot almost no matter what.
4. Staina
Regardless of whether or not you remove it completely or get a legit mapper to clean up that mess you should remove access from it entirely until one of the two of those are 100% in effect.
5. Multi Client
People can't handle legit old school, I get it. I myself am tight on time, but 3 clients allowed is just too much. It should be dropped down to 2, that leaves people the opportunity to always have one mage baking runes or make yourself a training camp.
6. Botting
We all love that you don't have to drag runes into your hand to make it into a legit rune but people were abusing this and one of the first things to go was the economy. Please, Please, PLEASE.... keep an eye on botters.
7. Houses
It is pretty stupid that it's first come first serve, people were playing for 8 hours spending all their cash on the best houses and then not even using them or retiring. Change the house system to an auction on the website but make it 3 days each house. Also make the monthly rent every day around 500 gp. If someone really can't keep 500 gp in their depot every day then there is something really wrong with them and they don't deserve a house in the first place.
8. Death Loss
Skill loss should be reduced greatly upon dying. Keep experience how it is, it's perfect... but you lose way too much of your skills when you die. You should not lose much skills and magic upon death, it should mainly be experience.
9. Amulet of Loss
If you ask me, I would say increase the price of AoL to 80,000 gold-1000,000 gold. Only very good equipment should require an AoL, the last time around with the loot rate almost everyone was wearing one. If I just wanted pvp and no loot I would play Dolera where I run the server and just kill people for fun.
10. Task System
Allow people to do tasks more than once, but change it so only the person who does the most damage to the creature gets it to count towards the task. Or maybe whoever gets the last hit. You need to change it regardless of how you look at it because how you have it people are just running 20 people in each spawn and it's always so chaotic and almost impossible to exp with.
11. Unjustified System
Red Skull should be as real Tibia had it, 3 a day, 10 a week, 20 a month, but the ban mark should be very high. Not sure what you have it at but it has to be high.
12. Spawns
Self explanatory. Green shore for example is LOADED with potential. You can easily make the little rot cave 10 times that size and would be awesome for starting characters to go to. Also you can make an orc castle to the south west, a dragon cave west, and even a monk, beholder, and hero cave north. Just put on news ticket which towns you re vamp so people don't abuse it where some know and some don't and boom you have more spawns to hunt.
Ek's are fine as they are. At least I know that Knights hit way hard and are massive tanks.
Paladins are strong overall, giving them a better POI reward idk. it is kinda unfair. maybe lower the damage and amp up the hit ratio.
I dont think that giving Scrolls in POI is a good idea. everyone will just abuse of that, donations go lower and administration doesnt get paid. ( I am not of the administration, I dont get paid for this. but hey, im a business man and I can see when people ask for too much.)
Im a big fan of staina, yes it can have improvements. Vamp spawn, necro spawn, that quest in orc warlords is good idea. Come on people, instead of saying no, offer ideas. It has a lot it can be worked with.
MC well yeah. it has been abused. Lowering it to 2 mcs is a good idea. botters will bot. but making their life more difficult makes Classicus a better server.
Mc helps with the botting. so yeah.
Houses - it is first come first serve, since you are PAYING with REAL money for this service. its fine just the way it is.
Death loss is a great deal. many of my friends got really disappointed that after a whole day of skill, they die and lost even more of what they gained. its quite ridicolous.
AoL is fine as it is. yeah i know you want to pk and get something out of it. but take this into consideration, you kill someone with aol and blessed its 105k you take out of them. imagine you take a whole team out with aol and bless thats 1kk you take out in a night. thats a lot of money imo.
Task system is fine as it is. Its intention is not to do black knight task a million times. its intention is to progress doing low lvls task then mid lvl then high lvl then poi tasks. they are progressive. i vote to leave them like they are.
Ban mark is 6. its all right 2 days bann 2 day rs.. you go thais dp ue and auto bann. lmao.
More spawns means more room for other players to play, means higher quantity of players. i agree with blood on this one. The ice islands north of carlin, green shore, north of darashia where the rl dragon lair is at are some nice places for improvements.
P.S. i want it to be saturday already!.
To the administrators of this server, I joined this server because I thought that you were proper programmers like you both claimed to be.
yet your server crashed and yet again crashed, the rollbacks happened almost every day so don't come here and lie because I'm done with this shit server you are nothing but a scammer
and Evulmastah you were very active and claim to be a very good programmer but once the server started crashing you left all work. this is unproffessional. also what cave did you hide in for so long, i couldnt find you. even easy fix as exura sio formula took u more then 1 month to fix.
this serv is built on false promises
Rayan,
Its possible to add cast system ?

Well done.I deeply regret the hours you have wasted, also as you seem like a gud guy on overall on otland
I must say; Ryan you're quite an intelligent fella, despite the fact that I dislike you as a server owner. You never fail to astonish me with your successful servers. Now I know very well the reason to why you succeed with so many servers; it's the way you handle your players.
I'm impressed.
The vast majority would aggravate this occurrence by showing negative attitude, which would only result to adding more fuel to the fire.
You do the opposite; Instead of disagreeing with the community about your mistakes, you embrace them.
You show empathy. You seek to join their reality -- as you know that it's easier in that way to direct their emotions to your advantage.
When you both share the same worldview, which in this case would be the anger towards you and your server, they will more likely listen to what you have to say. For instance, a very religious man would never pay attention to someone criticizing their worldview, unless they share the same reality; if you both equally believe in one specific religion, and one of you starts to question one aspect, the other person will be open-minded instead of being stubborn.
This is what you have managed to do so succesfully; and is the reason to why most people will probably return to your server even though they initially said they wouldn't. Jeez, just look at this sentence:
Well done.
I used to be the highest player in your server: Narozia, under the name of "Dietz" and I must concede that my first initial impression of you wasn't to the positive - as your actions aroused some anger in me, and as I'm sure it did so to you too, since you frequently banned me just for playing in your server. You managed to rise from a shitty reputation and form a solid ground in this community, very few who pulls that through.
Good luck with your OT, you truly deserve it.
I hope I can get me VIP days and my points back that were on my account .. I was top 10 LVL in server hope to be there again > ..
Hi, we fixed the shielding. I don't really agree with the skills, I believe knights already hit pretty hard (and harder then they should actually back in 7.4). Preventing bots is of course one of our main goals as it defeats the purpose to have a 7.4 and let people use bots. Regarding the other stuff, this is something that should be decided with all players. Personally some of the stuff you proposed feels a bit edgy as I dislike customizing too much. I do agree with on you that the paladin poi reward is pretty crap compared to other rewards.
We are planning on implementing a proper poll system on our website so we can easily track what players want and don't want. Thanks for your feedback though, nice and detailed.
