I'm a total noob (read as idiot) when it comes to a lot of technical stuff with computers but I do like playing AO and your efforts are much appreciated! Heck I'd get 3 jobs to help you since the only thing I could really do to contribute is play as a cash cow lol :D I do want to know if adding original content / gameplay elements (our own custom TBS Dungeon for instance) into the Private server help prevent nexon from being a bitch? another thing, would using different servers for PVE / Map / etc. require a higher bandwidth to run well?
In case you & your staff accept requests / suggestions for Ideas (*read as wish list) that may improve the private server here are some things I have in mind!
1) Item World Style Upgrading- (*see Disgaia wiki
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for details) Custom TBS / Regular battle Dungeon Map. That players must beat in order to "safely upgrade" gears from +7 to +10 and add special proc skill to item.
2) Item Sorter- self explanatory
3) Give Growth Vials a 15% chance to let you choose where you want to put your stat point every time you use it. (feel free to adjust rate as you see fit just picked 15% to be fair I guess :D )
4) Set a max item pricing cap to 10b (to keep the in game economy from being as messed up as the economy in IAO / USA AO)
5) Allow the usage of Space Button when making character name (ex. Abe Lincoln for axe main)
6) Make all scrolls craftable!
7) Make the Simplify char specific to either player only / monster only / or both
8) Give Decos / Mounts / Clothing have a set a mount of points that players may adjust upon unsealing. For example Wing A has 100 points to be distributed upon unsealing player has the option to make that Wing give 30 to Dex / 40 to Int / 30 to vit at their discretion.
9) Give Decos / Mounts / Clothing slots where proc skills may be equipped and raised according player preferences using in game currency though a custom NPC. Proc skills may be obtained via crafting / questing / IM / rare monster drop.
P.S. For the custom Item upgrading Dungeon Make the Boss Look like / BE VULCANUS. So that all the players who got fucked by his shitty upgrading can finally vent all the frustrations / bitterness / regret that had accumulated through the years via all the pulverized plus 9s lol
