How come so many of you enjoy high-rate servers?? Just to log-in and start the action? I don't get it, at all.. Like Archlight online, seems awesome, but then you look at the highscore list and people are lvl 3000+! What the hell??
I'm having thoughts of having 2 gameworlds, 1 with monthly resets and 10x rates and then a "real" Argardh with 1x. Surely a huge % of players like the race that comes with a reset, but also, a ton of people hates it.. only way to combine is to have 2 worlds, yes?
Btw, Edling, checkout my work so far I'm open to expand my already minimal team. I've already paid 500$ for a 1 year VPS and will be putting 1-300$$ more into bounties for mappers and scripters. And the direction Argardh goes is certainly uncertain. I plan to launch Open-Beta in August as said, and then real Launch in December. But if in December we've had really low player-numbers we will probably just use high-rates and max-out on PVP. Not the route I'd prefer, though.
I'd like to build something that lasts, a brand new fantasy-world with elements of ALL games, movies, books, etc. A mix of the best, so to speak. And more importantly: Found a community with a strong core that understands the importance of longivity(long life, of a server).
And to found a PVP/Guild-war COMMUNITY that fights for the SPORT and not just to win by whatever means necessary.
Anyways, PM or post back here if you're interested, even if it's just to check my progress or asking for help as we are in similiar situtations(I just also recently returned and decided to host a server(but with a map i've been working on for many years though). I've got it all running now though, so, as said, PM if you have some stupid questions(And save the more demanding questions for the real pros
)
Peace
