how to make the server a better and funner place for your children... well, i was playing on Ozz's server last night, figured id check it out. *(this is not a paid advertisement brought to you by Ozz, nor is this an attempt to get people to play on that server, it is merely my experience there)* And i was rather impressed with a number of things. They have a training ground, for really low levels. the monsters dont have any weapons, but they're easy to kill. You start off with 50k in the bank, so money isnt a really huge deal until you start buying mid grade armor/weapons. There are no rusty weapons, so getting money is a little easier, i didnt get a chacne to mine so i dont know if the ore sells for more. They have a buttload of cool lookin spells, monsters, zones, and different classes than the norm.
new zones/weapons/spells/monsters etc, help as well. i remember particle and ug talking about getting rid of all the rusty items, and making new items in replace of those. it would make enemies a bit tougher considering the majority of them carry rusty weapons. however, making defense and strength available at an earlier level might even things out against the enemies who would no longer be carrying rusty weapons.
Quests would help to make the game funner for all. i remember particle and ug would script quests all the time. what i thought was fun was the hazard course particle made in the sky, where we all had to get to the top without using ww's/bogs/paws. the three who made it to the top got a prize according to the order of who got there first, second, and third. part had the barstools set up so we could all pose for a screenshot. good times... that were had by all, need to be had again.
anyway, just some old ideas that needed reviving.
