Correct me if I am wrong about what you mean with the "donations".

Sure, I believe Necronia would run or maybe even do "well" with only a donation button on the homepage with no benefits to the donator.
Sounds very nice to keep the server completely "free" for everyone but I strongly believe that Necronia would benefit much more if it had some kind of "payment system".
As you said you won't add any EQs to the shop as you shouldn't but really you should add something that will keep enough money coming to pay for the expenses.
The "left-overs" could be used on advertisement and such to help Necronia grow --> More players == more entertainment for other players

I think it would be fair to have some kind of "premium acc" possibility - not as op as in real-tibia(which basically forces it) but still, houses and few outfits/mounts?
On top of that you could add some custom outfits/mounts to the shop that only are visuals and wouldn't affect the game itself.(only possibility to get the would be to purchase from shop)
That would definitely keep the server running and give much more potential for even bigger growth.

Yes, of course, we have donation gifts and this account upgrade such as you've mentioned. However, it doesn't give you any vital features like new spells in Tibia. It's completely optional and gives you access to some content and aesthetics such as being able to buy a house, to marry someone, to make a guild, etc.

And yeah, we have some items, outfits/mounts planned for the shop, but everything will be utility or aesthetics based so that no one who donates gets power over those who don't, that's what I meant.

Glad to hear, kind of misunderstood that "donation".
> donation = give something to somebody and get "warm-feeling" in return
> purchase = buy something, e.g items in shop or premium in tibia etc. :p
(usually from my point of view)

But yeah, the "donate" word is stuck in OTs even tho 90%+ of the OTs make you purchase the points instead of donating.

To the topic, sounds really good.
Good luck :)

When is it play able? I wanna try out the beta seriosly :p

The server is playable, just limited to the starter island. We will hopefully have more content released as soon as possible, first being the vocations then the mainland.
 
I have never been so excited to try out a new Tibia-like server (we can't call this Tibia neither Open Tibia Server as it's way too far from what Tibia is nowadays). The content, the story and its custom features make this game unique. I have been following all your threads since a while now, and yet I never get bored of reading new posts from them.

Really looking forward to playing Necronia, no matter how long I gotta wait for it, it's still worth giving it a try (and more than just a try).

Your best bet will be to wait until more content is released. There isn't much to left to do. I had a ton of fun though, literately played all day and night finding bugs and such :D
but since only Bawfuria is available, there isn't much to do. Especially since most bugs have been found.
 
I thought people would be on during beta. Seen 1 person online and it was the GM, then 0 always :(

Cause there is nothing to do, sadly. Hell out of all the people who bought the beta keys maybe only like 1/5 of them actually played for more than a few days cause they got bored and didn't know what a true beta test was. A lot of players were just playing for fun instead of looking for bugs. We pretty much found all the bugs so there really isn't much to do until more content is released, which is why no one really gets on.

00:04 There are currently 4 player(s) online on Necronia BETA:
00:04 Hisoka [28], Liro [14], Serenity [35], Shiva [Deity].

Lawyered! Hahah, just kidding. You're 3 months late though, pretty much all of the content on Bawfuria has already been tested so people paused until we unlock the next area. You can still find some people online though, depends at what time of day you play.

If you log in tonight, you might get to test one of the 3 released classes and stuff, I'll be working on the fourth one.

And, here comes the awaited Necromancer reveal:

It's going to take more time working on scripts for it. The map is done, the general lines and ideas on scripts are there, many of them are even done from the previous era, now we just need to sit and work hard on all the remaining ones. The only reason why there's such a delay is the fact that both I and Tarjei have a lot to deal with in real life too, so we have less and less time to work on Necronia. However, good news is, I have a new schedule now that allows me for some more work on it (hopefully, before exams start kicking in), and we have recruited a new scripter who is helping out.

Funding-wise, we have estabilished a solid base for funding the beginning of the server through our beta key donators, but of course, we hope that donations will cover the expenses after the release too. If not, we'll try to fund it from our own budget, but I don't know how that would work out long term.

Thanks for replying so promptly.

I'm glad to see you plan to avoid selling items and whatnot like most OTS's do. Hope you get it online soon.

What do you guys think when necronia is able to fully release, next year?
Click to expand...
We don't have a set date. Setbacks are more than likely and we only want to give a date when we know it is going to happen.
 
I wanted to test any of these vocations today, sadly I was at school by the time @Shadowsong arrived :/, Hopelly I see you on friday. Keep it going, everything is looking great!

Ps. If you want to test w/e just send me a private msg or skype.
-Greetings, Liro.
