Hey, guys,
I'd like to apologize in advance for my bad english cuz I'm brazilian, and our public schools barely teach portuguese itself.
I used to play Tibia ages ago, then, recently, I got back invited by some old folks.
Back in 2004, things were completely different, we weren't worried about leveling, getting stronger, getting better items. We just wanted to have fun.
And we did, until now, when I created my account and saw what the game has become - a game made for powergamers.
I'm not like that, I just wanna have fun.
I had a conversation with a friend of mine for hours about what we believe are good things for a game like Tibia.
I wanna develop an OTServ with the things we believe are nice, so we can play and have fun together.
We have some ideas, which, for the sake of understanding, I'd like to share with you:
-Profession system: blacksmithing, enchanting, cooking, gathering, alchemy (like WoW);
-Crafting system: you know the recipe for a special food or equipment?, then you can create it, if you have the required mats;
-Several new classes and races;
-Faction system: depending on your faction, you are not supposed to attack a mate;
-Reputation system: you can, with you choose to, work on reputation to a certain faction;
-Puzzles/quests: we think the puzzle mission would be great.
Those are just some of the ideas.
So, I'm a systems analist, I know a lil of Java, SQL, PHP.
I'm wondering what it takes to come from almost zero knowledge of programming to have my own server designed and programmed.
What steps should I take?
You guys have any tips of where I should start?
Maybe studying C++, LUA?
Thanks.
