Team Mappers needed for brand new [9.44] server!

[Arn]

Hello Readers,

OT name: Arnia
Client Version: 9.44
Job I'm looking for: Mappers
Website: Arnia - An Open Tibia Server
Contact: [email protected]
XP rate: 1x / Custom
Hosting: Offline / Development - Will be hosted on a professional VPS on release.

Intro:

As the title says, I'm looking for mappers who are interested in contributing to a RAPIDLY developing OT.
The mapping will (hopefully) be done using the RME beta client with the live server mapping option.
If for some reason that doesn't work, I would be okay with sharing the map files with a select few trusted individuals.

About Myself:

This will be my 2nd major open tibia server. My previous work was the Sonia server that I ran for a while (maybe some of you know me?). I'm a 23 year-old Information Technology ex-student with a bachelors degree in my field. While I'm looking for employment and as a long-term dream of mine, I'll be developing one of the best open tibia servers that has come out in a while. I pay a lot of attention to details, and having played mmo's for a very long time (tibia, runescape, guild wars, guild wars 2, WoW (all expansions), Rift, Warhammer, Age of Conan, SWTOR, and more), I bring a lot of unique ideas to the table.

About the Server:

The server will be almost entirely custom, hosted on a professional dedicated server, with a lot of guidance and support from the development team.
See the list below for some of the features. Feel free to ask questions.

• Custom Classes like Runesmith, Assassin, Necromancer, etc.
• Custom spells for each class.
• Obsessive focus on CLASS BALANCE.
• Daily/Weekly/Monthly spawning rare bosses with bonus loot/xp with a higher difficulty.
• Potion system using a combination of materials and herbs found on the map as well as looted from creatures.
• Custom armor and weapon scrapping system (aka salvaging, or de'ing).
• Custom armor and weapon crafting system using materials that are looted as well as salvaged.
• Custom auction house system that makes buying and selling from anywhere possible.
• Most monsters will be lurable and cities are designed to make invasions/lures exciting.
• War zones where players and monsters drop additional loot but there is no penalty for pk'ing. (zones are NOT mandatory).
• Arenas with weekly tournaments and prizes.
• NO TELEPORTERS.
• Potential hard-core zones where death is permanent (charachter deletion like in Diablo 3). This is still a big maybe.
• Hidden / hard to find areas with rewards.
• Lots of custom / extra NPC's that populate towns and dungeons (think common citizens, beggars, noblemen, etc).
• Limited high-detail, high-priced housing for players with lots of gold.
• Almost limitless low-priced, underground housing for players with less gold.
• House time-out system so that players with a lot of gold cannot sit on a house after being offline for months.
• Blueberries act as primary source of food to encourage "gathering".
• Bonus xp rates at certain times of the day.
• Custom events that give items that will NEVER be given again (creating rarity).
• Raids are both random, and possibly also player generated.
• Website: Patch notes from week to week are kept in very easy to read logs.
• Website: Graphs and illustrations that show the growth of the server and promote transparency.
• Website: Chat system in place for when the server is down to allow for communication between players and developers.
• Website: Forums with rankings, post count, avatars, signatures, and special boards for disucssions (general, hunts, trade, development, etc).
• Website: Tools section that offers all the downloads a player or even a developer could need.

Screenshots:

These screenshots are from the ALPHA stage of the server.They are very rough with lots of auto-bordering (bad, I know).
I've been focusing more on covering the map, rather than the little details. I cannot stress this enough: alpha development.
I hope you can forgive me and focus rather on the style of mapping I'm trying to convey in this server. Enjoy!

Please fill this out:

Age:
Location/Country:
Language:
Experience (in months or years):

Please also submit a screenshot of your previous mapping work or link to a thread / site that shows your work.

Whats in it for you?

Since I do not have the finances to employ people to work for me, the best I can do is offer your a permanent position on the development team including elevated forum accounts and an influential role in the server.
Game master / counselor positions are a distant possibility.​

P.S. If somebody could PM me how to convert my map to the mini-map version so I can show the size of the project, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all for reading!

Im so highly intresred in mapping this! Iv been waiting so long for something like this!

Im 17 years old and live in Sweden. Iv been mapping on and off for a bit over a year by now.
I can speak swedish, english and a bit spanish too ;-)

Im currently on the mobile version so Ill send you some pics this evening!

Would love to join and build this up, so badly!

Edit: wanted to add that I got a great social life and make new friends with ease which makes it easy to have in a team with new members and new people. I have also played many mmorpgs, such as WoW, Diablo 3 and runescape so I have the feeling where this OT is pointing at ;-)

Kind Regrds Winzer

Sounds like you are very motivated. It would be a pleasure to have you on-board with this project. Your english looks very good too. As soon as I see an example of your mapping we can talk about getting you started on mapping!

 

[winzer]

Sounds great! Im home in an hour!
Also, something you need to know is that if I start with something I cant just let it go. Im doing everything I start with untill Im finisht, to a 100% and not less.

Music to my ears. I've been mapping about 8 hours a day and would love to start working on other things like classes, spells, etc.

Edited the top post to add this; the server project will be hosted for a minimum of a year.

 

[winzer]

Oh, I'll help you with that in the near future!

PM with screenshots sendt!

 

[Arn]

So far, Winzer and I have gotten a great deal of work done on the map. I'm looking forward to any additional members or contributors!

Guess I'd try.

Name: Elias Martinsen
Age: 13, soon 14.
Location: Norway
Experience: Maybe 2 years of mapping, perhaps 25 -26 months roughly. I have had a break, but want to start on mapping again, so I'll try. :-D

I'll PM you a screenshot or two when I'm done writing my essay! )


In-case you want a proper application; Here.
It's a Gamemaster application, but it's just if you want some information about me, as a person and a employer.

Thanks for applying! I do not discriminate on age. While you are young, I remember how creative I was at that age, and I would consider you a valuable member. In addition, your english looks pretty good. As soon as I see your mapping work, I'd be happy to get you onboard the project. (PM me or post, either way works).

Also, we now have forums working since last night, including a developers board. (forums.arnia.org).

Age: 16
Applicating as: Mapper
Why should you pick me?: From my opinion you should choose me if you want a active mapper full of ideas. I am a trustworthy guy and my english is decent. I dont have the best english in the world.
I am active 6 - 7 hours per day and im always on msn when im on the computer mostly.
Heres a little picture of what ive mapped. I got inspired from your little house idea on mountain so i decided to create one in my style. Take a look.

 

[Arn]

We now have myself as well as 2 others mapping the Arnia server LIVE! I'd like to make it 4 people or more! I know there has to be more people out there that are interested in this amazing server!
