Before i begin, i just want to make it clear i wont actually be making one am just curious as to how popular it would essentially be, if i ever did get enough time this would probably be the only thing i'd like to do on OT concerning making my own server.
So first i'll explain what i mean, RPing(Roleplaying) is when you take on the role of a character (Basically something made up), you define him, give him a name and essentially "pretend" for a lack of a better word, to be your character. You give him a unique identity, humor, personality and define him how you like. I know for the most part, the Tibia community is focused on PvP, and an RP server would propably sound lame to you, but PvP does happen, you can & i will, allow you, if RP'ed correctly, to RP an Evil character, you may start as a Bandit, rob some people & possibly move up, there are options for everyone.
This has never been (to my knowledge) consider on Tibia, RPing is popular mostly on Forums, am sure some of you have seen them before, people will make up there own character and Roleplay the character through posts, this i never liked it was always to slow for my liking, but i played a game called NWN (Neverwinters Night) which gave you the option to take RP to a whole new level with an actual persistant world, with persistant events, obviously backed by DMs (Known on the tibia community as GMs).
What i want to know & if popular, is make a Tibia server, where you guys can roleplay, obviously i'll want to make it as persistant as possible, i'd allow for GMs, which will be able to summon effects, blood etc for asthetics, these are already in tibia so the platform for RPing is there it just isn't being used, which i originally found odd, but then i thought this probably has been considered and just never got popular.
Obviously everything about tibia, as you know will be scrapped, leveling will most likely be harder, alot harder, as in probably not level 10 in 3 days hard, but your characters will effectively be stronger, higher levels will be allowed to take the role of guard captains, evil geniuses or whatever you wish. There will probably be new skills, things like magic level will stay ofcourse, but no doubt fishing will be removed for something better, swords/maces/axes will most likely be moved into Slashing/Bludgeoning, and then there is ofcourse the whole revamp of the vocation system, Paladins will be real paladins, Mace/Sword, shield wielding, light healing holy paladins, being a D&D fan and D&D being where all this started for me, i will most likely be using D&D as a basis for vocations, druids will be earth wielders, they'll probably be able to polymorph into bears & wolves, there will be Sorcerers, wizards, Rangers, Fighters, Rogues and so on.
So around here i don't really know what else to say, so i'll just hit the submit button, but before doing so if you have read this far then please, below give your opinions & whether you will play it or not.
Gold or Copper, that's my question
~Oh and just to clarify, i don't want suggestions on how to make it better, again i wont actually be doing this anytime soon, unless it is really popular.
With that being said, by all means take the idea and do it yourselves if you believe you can.
