Hello!

I bet you've seen me around (a lot), so I'll tell you a bit about my project which I've kept under somewhat of an invisible cloak.


Map.
The map I am going to use, isn't fairly large. I still got a couple of "lands". I'm thinking of using the newest client for this server.
Hopefully I'll get to use the newest items and sprites, so it would be a kick ass server. I haven't really thought of much :-) But I'm thinking about it a lot lately, and I decided to actually reveal it to the open-tibia community. I'm creating a map showoff when I get back from my "holiday".
I am taking ideas for what I should update with etc.

Experience/skill rates.
The idea at the moment, is actually that experience should be low. So I would give more experience from quests which leads through the whole map.
This is still an idea. If you guys don't like that idea, it WILL be really low experience rate, it will be stages. (10->1 or 20->2)
The meaning of the "exp by quests" is to actually get the players to see the map. It will as well put some team-spirit in to the server. So they'll meet normal monsters which will not give experience, and they'll meet the boss which gives a certain amount of experience, and the quest-giver will give you the experience.

Donations.
NONE. I don't want to give the players that give me money advantage. If they will give me money, I'll give it to some charity to research against diabetes. They will get honor, glory, and a great gratitude from me and the researcher team. I am not joking about this, I feel they need more money than I do.
As well, the players that donates will get their name put up on a website in the category "Page of fame". (Hall of fame to me is bleh, since it isn't a hall, it's a page.) This is to show that not every project isn't about money and willing to give money to charity, if it receives any income at all.

Systems.
I will not have trainers, CTF, bomberman nor any other of these events. If you want fun, you'll have to do quests! Occasionally I'll host a deathmatch between the guilds. The ones that has the highest frags, wins something, anything under my validation. (If you have any system or something the players would appreciate, please tell me :-) )

Name.
If someone has a cool name that they came up with while reading this, please post it as a suggestion and I'll make a poll about it!

Ideas.

Professions:
THIS WILL ONLY BE IN THE SERVER IF I CAN GET IT TO WORK!
Mining:
That you have the profession miner, you'll obtain rock, metal and gold bars which you can sell for a nifty price.

Farming:
That you will be able to buy a farm, and grow vegetables or have animals as pigs or chickens.

Potion brewer:
This profession is imho a cool profession. You are kind of a "illegal" brewer, and if you're caught by the guards they'll give you a fee. So you have to get low-key about it. Sometimes you might have brewed a bad potion which doesn't work as a good potion. (e.g. it heals less than 50HP when it should've healed over 90HP.) Risky business.



Please give me feedback, and I'll gladly answer/accept it.

:-)

+1 for this.

The general idea seems good, but cant say much more without more specific info.

I believe Delita Hyral suggested you this.
 
I really like that you are giving the money to charity! Btw, you have thinked through the server features very good. Keep it up!
 
Mudkip online, good one Blez :-D

@Siegh.
Well, I don't want to reveal that much at this stage.
I'll update as I go so they say. Hopefully I'll get a mouse by tomorrow to continue my mapping :-D

@WOTT
Thanks :-D The giving the money to charity, is however if I receive any income, it won't go to my pocket, it'll go to the pockets of researchers against diabetes.

Actually no, I came up with it myself, or I didn't get any help nor did I see someone have something about that. So I don't know :p
 
so how are you going to host the server if you're giving any 'gift' to charity?
 
I am asking a friend of mine, which is a hoster.

That's how I'll host it :-)
 
Seems like a good project, but its not that good to give out all the money to charity you can do this with the income just put the server on a dedi and pay for it with the donations etc and if u dont want the "income" u can do w/e u want with it.

Really man?
"Its not that good to give out all the money to charity".
Shame on you.
 
cause I bet the server will close 1 month later or 2 because this hoster wont win anything.

Why shouldn't I give it to charity? They need it more than me.

Update:
I'm thinking of doing somewhat of a Killing in the name of... quest, but different.
Instead of killing them, you will capture them when they're low on health. You say e.g. "capturan *monster name*".

And you'll deliver the monsters captured to the quest-giver which gives you perhaps a armor + experience.

.

I've thought of a monthly event that I will hold.
BotG. (Battleground of the Guilds)
A battleground designed for pvp/war, the competition will be held every month. The competition will have 20 players, 10 from each guild to war against each other.
I will put up a ladder system.
Winning prizes will be there.
What they'll win, is not certain. They'll get 100 battle tokens to buy pots with, maybe they'll get extra battle tokens so they can supply themselves a bit more. Not sure yet, but could be a winner prize.

Maybe something like this:

  1. 1. Place: 20BT
  2. 2. Place: 10BT
  3. 3. Place: 5BT

The battleground will be different every time. Thinking of just having 3 battlegrounds.

Hopefully these ideas would be cool for you guys!


Special thanks to Scarlet for helping me with the first idea, so thanks Scarlet! <3

Want to help? You are able to now, go to the job section and you'll see my thread! Don't be shy, apply now!
You are also able to contribute with a piece. I will put credits for anyone who helps me in any way!
 
Just wondering, you said charity and you seemed to come a bit far with the server. So would it be possible to know which specific 'areas' you thought of support?

Well, of course.

Currently, I need a part-time mapper which can map when I can't. As for now, I can't map since I'm at my cabin. (Kind of a mountain house.)
And as well, I need a scripter + a storywriter. Basically, I can fix the hosting myself. The mapping isn't that much. I will sort everything out myself, as for the server ideas, I'm still in the brainstorming part. However, if you want to participate, please PM me :-)

Edit: I might be needing assistance further in the server. This is has actual plans on when it's being launched. :-) When people get high level, I need to possibly update with more spawns, as of I don't know how people will take the server or who will play it. It is of course a criteria that I actually talk to the players if they want new, cool and challenging places. I will update the server when a player dings 40, and I will start that mapping and testing WHEN I see that people are actually playing and staying active.

So far great ideas, looking forward to actually see this server one day.
 
Thanks for the response Wavoz!

If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to PM with them, I will draft them and perhaps tweak it a lil' but I will most certainly put up credits!

What do you guys think of the name Xalethalas?

Or Kranchek?

Bump!

Still thinking of the name: Xalethalas (which was my former project) or Kranchek.



Thinking of perhaps doing a series of servers.
e.g.
Kranchek/Xalethalas:
One old-school and one new server.

So it'll be variation.

P.S. FreshMapper is helping with the designing, creating the logo and personal assistant for me.

You may congratulate him here.
