New Ideas For A 'Custom' Server?

[Alyhide]

Hey guys, I know people are always talking about their 'Custom' server, but I mean, what's custom about it? It has the same monsters, same vocations, maybe just a few different things added. Maybe a custom map. But, what is really a Custom OT? Well we're here to discuss this, what is really into it? What should be done? What should stay the same? I mean, just because you make your own OT.. Does it really mean it's Custom? Think about it, and give your ideas to a Custom OT.​

There's not a 100% Custom Ot. Like you said, most ppl just change some things, add or remove other ones. I've only seen one ot server that shocked me, you should check PAdventures. They've edited the client and server sources a lot, added a lot of sprites, etc. It's not 100% custom tough. They've used a distro too, and for what I know, OT Servers use the same technology as Cipsoft does on the official servers. So it's stolen. A custom would be, at least for me, to create a client and a server engine from scratch. And don't stick to the same monsters, spells, vocations, items, etc. Of course, it's just my opinion.

Sorry for my english, in case you didn't understand something.

In todays world a custom ot is something other than a rl map but we dont have much of those that have a dedicated team. >.>

A Custom server for me is:
*Custom Created Map. (Not Real Map)
*Custom Quests. (May have some RL tibia quests as people really love those Annih, DH PoI etc)
*Custom NPCs.
*Maybe some custom monsters. (Not the Sprites)
*Maybe some Custom Spells and Runes.
*And the best that almost none seem to fix is Custom Vocations. (I am working on it).

That would count as a custom server and that is what open tibia is almost all about. We need more of those!
I am working to fix it and I WILL release them.

Kind Regards,
Eldin.

I've been looking for a good custom server but I still haven't found one, been searching for over a year but no luck consider no one likes custom server..... but anyway
here is my definition of a "Custom" server.

*Custom Map-- Custom map means a completely new map, not a edited map like forgotten, evolution etc.. but completely custom from scratch.
*Custom Items-- Custom items is when you edit, its attributes like dmg, defenses etc.. you edit what drops it and what level it is or, you can just make custom sprites. The same items over and over again is borrrring.
*Custom Quest--Custom quests are all custom, not taking quests from other servers and changing a few things, you have to make it from scratch and not use any other ones.
*Custom Monsters--Custom monsters is when you edit the name, what it drops, and the exp it gives or, custom sprite. I don't like playing server with regular monsters because you have seen them a million times and they are sooo old and boring.
*Custom Vocations--Custom vocations are new, fun and exciting as long as they are balanced.
*Custom Spells-- Custom spell are needed because it's not fun using the spells you have seen forever...you need new spells, but they have to be balanced and not OP.
*Custom Runes-- We need more runes, upgraded runes, more dmg runes etc..


*~*~*~*A custom server is supposed to have a new and exciting feel, like a new game or something, it should all be new and never seen before which makes it more fun, because seeing the same types of servers, items, monsters etc...all over and over again is so
boring and its just annoying.

If we make a 100% custom Ot (All sprites/spells/maps) you would've made a NEW game with graphics ALIKE tibia.
