Mining or Fishing? - GM-Pandora - 01-28-2006
I'm currently working on both system and both are near completion, but I wanna concentrate on one for now.
I like both ideas, so I'll let democracy decide ^_^
Here's a little preview of each:
Mining:
After learning how to mine and purchasing some picks you'll be able to mine at specific spots in a cave. You'll be able to find some ores and stones and maybe more, but be careful because the rock is so hard that your pick might break often!
Fishing:
After learning how to fish, how to craft your rod and after purchasing some baits, you'll be able to fish at specific spots. The fish you will find are edible and will give you back some hp/sp, some more than others. Become more skillfull to catch better fishes. There will not be any fish that give any skills btw, but you might be surprised by what kinda stuff you catch!
Both system allow you to gain points which make you better. I will do my best to ensure that both are balanced (eg. price of bait/pick, weight of items, rarety, etc.)
Poll ends in 3 days and I think we could have the chosen one implemented by next weekend (unless I encounter some problems).

Mining. You don't see many (if any, I don't look through too many of the top-site entries) servers advertising mining, so it's relatively original, at least. Plus ores are my blood-enemy. You hear me, coal?! You heeeeeeaaaar meeeeee?!

Mining, the ores would bring more life into the economy. If you do add fishing, it's not gonna be how XeRO's was, is it? x.x
That was so incredibly abused...

We will make sure it's a "bonus", not "the only way to actually be competitive".
And mining-ahoy!

If you read my post I do mention the following:
"There will not be any fish that give any skills btw"
"I will do my best to ensure that both are balanced (eg. price of bait/pick, weight of items, rarety, etc.)"

I don't even play here, so I technically don't count, but I'm giving my opinion anyways >_>;;
Mining:
Is it just stones and ores? Most good players can just go out and farm those from shroom and Skele Workers and such (in the Coal Mines XD). I personally think it sounds uninteresting, other than maybe to a good Hunter, for Arrow Create. It sounds like a zeny-maker, but slow at that.
Fishing:
If it's only hp/sp fish, that's fine, as long as the weight is balanced accordingly. If a fish that heals as much as a ygg doesn't weigh at least as much as a ygg, that automatically throws yggs out of favor. Weight distribution amongst the fishes will be your biggest problem. Thankfully, you're not giving skills to fish, although it may make WoE a bit more interesting, it'll through around balance...
