I think Levia needs a name change, because when you look at it he/she/it looks more like a <censor> than what its name seems to suggest :D

(I certainly know what they are~)

I'm looking forward to the trinity knight feature. Sounds epic. o_o

2009/01/11 Updated now that the Mission BBS, hardware upgrade and maintenance are done.

Still a lot of things that we are working on, next thing to be released is most likely the Silk wings quest, but will you be heroic enough?

[ShadesOfBlue]

no

[teOx]

no

me either

I would like to make a suggestion, a gambling system. Risking money at the expense of losing it to someone else.

I was thinking that a good spot for this would be in Comodo because of the casino in the lower part. With this you can use the tables that are inside of the casino to choose how much zeny the player wants to put up for gamble. A different table for the amounts.

Low Rollers
Middle Rollers
High Rollers
Super Rollers!!


You can make the games that you want at each of the tables depending on what you think is best.

I think that this is a good idea because it can be another way to make a lot of money, without being too custom.




Which brings me to my next point. I think that the server has been adding tooo much custom content onto the server. (not to sound like i run the server or anything) When i see things like an even more revamped fishing/mining, a ~hero~ style woe 2, and even a custom class, i get scared... This would be going too far to go to the point where it would question RO gameplay to something totally different.

We already have an adequate amount of custom content, there is no need to add things that change the game to a large extent. Some things are good to add that are small but usefull. For instance, the Bulletin Board was a good idea, not too custom, very usefull.

At the expense of taking this topic too far, ill use the fish as an example sadly. If you think about it, it makes a huge difference to the gameplay in how MVPs have been taken now... simpler tasks. But dont get me wrong, it is a good addition in the way of helping low levelers level up faster, but what i am saying is that it has been taken to extremes. (people with 20k sals/mutants, or high numbering nemos/dories)

I guess you can take this reply as a partial request to please stop with additions that are too custom. =\ Also, personally, when if i were looking for servers, i would be drawn away from the servers that have too many things on it.


Ill try to think of more tweaks to this idea if you guys are considering it that is.

People who go on extreme phising trips please dont kill me T_T

PS. I put this post here because its a mixture of whining (i guess) and suggestion, so i thought here wouldnt be so bad.

I think custom class has been left there for years and we haven't even started XD; not much I'll be afraid of for that one. Actually not sure why that one is still lingering around personally ^_^;

Revamped fishing/mining, you already saw the beta testing of what mining will be, so really not much ot be afraid of again.

WoE2, I think we all agree so far that implementing woe2 without any changes, you get problems due to low population, and that half of our server honestly won't even get pass Sword Guardian, let alone a very buffed one with a full guild supporting the Guardian(s). (and on top of that, barricades aren't working from eA anyway unless you tweak them /swt ) Similar to Infinity Tower, we adjusted it from original to suit our server better.


As for the no/less/more custom debate... it's more a personal choice thing. I am afraid that no matter which path we choose, someone out there will be unhappy due to too many/little customs.


And I think that it's fine for your suggestion. Sometimes we accept them, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes a suggestion is already in the making cause GM has similar ideas beforehand. Sometimes, a suggestion is a good wake up call, and sometimes suggestions just can't be implemented for various reasons. I didn't respond to the gambling one cause that's not really my place to decide if we add/reject/adjust it or not ;;

For next time, we have a suggestion forum, use it!!

Got enough stuff to work on lately, but we might consider gambling eventually, in the mean time you got the hugel bingo and the apple gambling on airship.

As for the revamp or mining/fishing, they are being revamped to be more balanced, so I don't see how that should scare you. Likewise if we work on WoE2 like Ayu said it will be to make something that fits heRO. ^_^
