I always wanted to have my own private server, but being lazy/not knowing anything in C# stopped me.. but still, that doesn't mean that i can't share my idea xD
The main concept of my idea is to change the way Conquer is played, but again, knowing nothing in programming kinda limited my thinking :P but here it is anyway:
Once a player registers and logs On he spawns in BirthVillage map ( NPC's are a kind of small guide on how to play the server, you'll see why later on )
after talking to the NPC's ( you cant be teleported out of the BirthVillage unless u talk to the main NPC's, you get teleported to TC center, you will find an NPC standing in the middle of TC, he will be the ONLY NPC around, when you talk to him he'll tell you what you need to do in order to get levels and gears in the server which is the following..
to reach level 2 you need to kill 50 Pheasant, once thats done talk to the NPC again and he will ask you to talk to your profession GOD ( or whatever u call it ) in job center..
Once you talk to your profession god NPC he will ask you to
A> hunt for level 2
B> PK for level 2
if you choose option A then you have to go back and hunt 75 Pheasant's.
if you choose option B the NPC will teleport you to a PK map,, i noticed some maps where you get teleported to the inside of a city ( cant leave the city ) like its limited to the inside of the city only, like this map >>
but without the regular NPC's and guards.There you will find other level 1 players who are trying to get level 2, once you kill 3 players you get automatically teleported back to TC job center, talk to your profession npc and he will level you to level 2. ( same for hunting just talk to the npc after u kill 75 Pheasants and he will level you ).
If you choose option A to level ( hunting ) you will get basic Defense refind gears ( refind headgear/necky/armor/boots ) that are level **2** ( you have to change the item's level requirement... ) :P
if you choose option B to level ( PK ) you will get basic Attack refind gears ( refind ring/weapons/boots ) level 2 ofc.
lets say you choosed option A to level up, once thats done and u got level 2 you can talk to the NPC again and he will ask if you want attack gears as well ( NPC will check if you killed monsters *for lvling from level 2 - 3, if not he will ask if u want attack gears level 2 ( leveling with option B )*
you will be teleported to the PK map with players who are level 2 and leveled same way you did " hunting " but want attack gears as well, kill 6 players and you will be teleported back to the npc and he'll give u the attack gears
to get level 3/4/....etc. you'll have to do the same steps, only difference is you must kill more/higher level monsters, and more players. and you still get refind gears for every level you make " the gears you have on disappear after you level up and gets replaced with the higher level ones.
How to get higher quality gears:
so now after we know how to level, its time to improve your gears..
you are level 2 with full refind gears, you have 2 ways to improve them now.
A> adding pluses
B> getting better quality
if you want to plus your gears you have to do some hunting/PK.
for every 50/100/150/200/250 monsters you kill you will get +1/+2/+3/+4/+5 refind set of gears ( depends on what gears you have on )
to get higher than +5 gears you must kill 300/350/400/450/500/550/600 monsters for EACH gear, for example:
killing 300 Pheasants will get you +6 gear that you choose when you talk to your profession NPC.
now if you want to upgrade the quality of your gears the gear MUST be +0 ( +0 to make it require killing more monsters to plus a better quality gear, 100 monster for a +1 unique gear for example )
to upgrade the quality you must kill a number of players ( who have the same level and gears as you do and want the same >> better quality gears )
how many players to kill depends on you, if u want it an easy/medium/hard server to get gears.
now after having lets say full +6/+7 elite gears you decide its time to move to the next level, you go back and talk to the NPC in the middle of TC and he asks you to kill a certain number of monsters, once that done u go to job center and talk to the NPC to level like you always did, the tricky part is IF you level after upgrading your gears you will lose all the gears you had on and get the basic refind attack/defense gears for your level.. :P
max level would be around 50 ( thats too high if you think about it ) but seeing how the server runs, levels doesnt really matter if you have the gears.
server will have no ninja or monk or talies ofc ( i think they ruined everything and they are way overpowered for our beloved conquer )
you can only 1st rb at +50% of the max level, 2nd rb you must have +75% of the max level allowed ( if the max is 50 levels then you need level 25 for 1st rb and level 37-38 for 2nd rb )
I forgot to add the socket/bless on gears part.
If you want to add sockets or blessing on your gears that can be done by adding tournaments to the server, like a race or capture the flag, or even team PK tournaments and such.
Thats the main concept of my idea, i might end up doing it after all who knows :P
all suggestions and ideas are welcome..
