Community Project - The Official `The Forgotten Server`

[soul4soul]

even if you still coming up with the server lore you should set up an svn and find some mappers who can at least start something for the time being.

i would help only when there's some progress already

i thought you were making some super quest OT?

a short update of the story:
Please let me know if you like it so far and what should I change if anything.

---------------------------------
** Chapter I.a: Blacksmith's Ordeal **

*You went to the Blacksmith's shop like Kynel said.
*You see the blacksmith behaving nerveously.

>You: Hello!

>Blacksmith: oh what am I to do if I can't find that {thing}...huh...Oh, hello what can I do for you?

>You: Are you ok?

>Blacksmith: Huh? ah yes I'm fine, just... nevermind.

>You: Kynel sent me for equipments.

>Blacksmith: Oh, Kynel sent you, you should have said it earlier.

>You: yes he sent me to do some {tasks} for him.

>Blacksmith: Tasks? hmmm...May I ask you for one as well?

>You: ok

>Blacksmith: Thank you so much, Well what I need you to do is, to find me some materials for one of my clients, he has ordered a very good weapon for me to craft and I need you to mine some of these ores for me, in return for the help, I'll teach you how to craft items.

>You: That sounds great!

>Blacksmith: Good to hear that, now here is some equipment(sword, leather armor and leather legs), that should be good for starting.

>You: Thanks

>Blacksmith: no Problem... ah before I forget here is a pickaxe, so you can mine in the caverns.

>You: Ok I'll be back once I'm done

>Blacksmith: Take care!

*You leave the blacksmith shop.

The idea sounds good but with this community there will be problems. Make sure you keep everything backed up, that's all I am worried about.

Looks nice

I'm pretty sure he wont give out access to the files of the server

Shinmaru and I actually discussed that issue a few moments ago xD.

 

[Sizaro]

Shin and someone else manage the server and make a website where you can submit scripts/maps/tips etc

 

[Shinmaru]

I plan to get something really started on this Monday, since I work on the weekends.

 

[Elda Swok]

I love this idea, but you have to think about it like this, there is always one greedy ass person out there that will take the source and post it somewhere else as their own idea and it will become too public, there will be too many servers. I think if you're going to do it, it should be a little private like to just premium users after we have a base source. That way there can't be 5 million servers like OTs. Unless that's what you're aiming for. I'd be glad to contribute though.

 

[Prest]

I'd help out

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

I'm in with any help you need in LUA Scripting =D

 

[Elda Swok]

If you need a story writer, or someone with a pretty decent imagination, let me know. I'm down to help, any other ways I can.

 

[Leftwing]

Expect to see some new information posted within the next few days. As development begins we will likely keep everything as private as possible, however I believe as progress is made it will be made more public. It is likely an official release of this server will be available, however it would likely just be the sources. There is much to be decided, but progress is being made.

Sincerely,
Leftwing

I think that we should make a new thread for it, and discuss what we can do to make it as public as we can. That way ANYONE that wants to contribute can. It's not like it has to be processed first. You can just add something basic to start, and then the further we get, we can tweak icons and such. But That's just for icons, I'm not too sure about the source because not everyone can code, and they might submit something that screws the whole project over. That we have no idea about.

We'll have a new thread sometime soon. We have discussed ways members can contribute and how they will be rewarded for their help, but we're always open to ideas/suggestions.

I don't think anyone should be rewarded for contributing. I mean, it's a community project ya know. You should only get something if you're a main developer. I mean, other than a name in the credits, which btw are going to be HUGE!

The Official Project has begun.
