- The Ideal Server/Features -

[suruba]

hey guys, talk about Your ideal and ideas this thread isnt about commenting on my ideas lol thanks

Lets talk about your ideal server / features here !
no right or wrong might be helpful to those who seek some public opinions / ideas when trying to configure their server


for me :

- Low-Mid rate game
i dont wish to visit cata in just 30+ minutes of gameplay. actually i dont even need to leave misty marsh in servers that has mid-high EP rates. (level 180 got favourite farm spots )

- Drop Gold not EP ( or rather low auto-EP )
an NPC which converts(sells) 100k Gold to 1 EP. making EP(and Gold) a more valuable currency! items on sale for few million EP just makes Gold obsolete! and nobility ranks like chicken feet. ( i think mall items can be cheaper instead of making higher EP drops! )

- Donation system for EP only
to reduce hunting time. no pay-to-win type of policy! Buy each VIP level with EP.

- +255 equips makeable !!
either
' edit NPC script to bypass +12
or
' +13~+25 ticket from MadBull; +26~+35 ticket from GreenGiant; so on..
( +13 for 10 tickets; +14 for 20 tickets;... +25 for total of 910 tickets )
Hey there are Lots of emo mobs in the game you know! anyway gives hardworking players some 'collectables' to sell. creating some form of trading interaction between players
or
' Conquer online style: 2x +12 piece to make +13; 2x +13 to make +14;...
which makes +255 totally insane. thats how you differentiate or show POWER. at least im very sure you'll already feel some Great sense of achievement at +50...

- Customization !
'Dye system by funhacker is definitely cool (something like Ragnarok p servers)
'Custom demons will inevitabily attract players ( eg. a pile of poop if you have sh**ty 3dmax skills or .c3 from some other TQ game *hint* )

- 4th or 5th summon by EP


- Nobility rank for donors only
this is the only benefit i can think of that is fair in terms of BP benefits against non donors.
extra 6BP for kings and below VS extra 233 + maybe 30*x2 (5th summon) BPs
*i totally lost my will to play immediate when i saw people with 1k+ BP


my idea is to have a server that is fair to all players. even your generous donors may lose intrest in the game if majority players left ( non donors ) hope you guys get what i mean.. ofcuz there are game owner who think not. because their players are already 'hooked' once they put in their money or those who had put in lots of hardwork/time/energy on the server
(lol my friends.. for what? stay to get pwned they're not even close to my BP.. dont even think about 1k BP gheylords)


seems to me that quite a number of you are against profit based server.
since its not profit based then focus on fairplay and make it an enjoyable server!


anyway just my opinion
sorry if you dont understand my english !
and thank you if you have actually read my whole post


please keep ideas coming! and hope to see more intresting new servers coming up

ps: send me a PM if anyones ever gonna make my dream server @_@
currently almost all* the servers i see from pserver list are pay-to-win = =
*still looking 1by1

Those are very subjective, some of them are good points however, thanks for your bits.

hey Suruba, i love your thinking, yes my server is sort of a pay to win kinda server but i am more then willing to help you with your server, you dont need to know my experience on EO. just trust me when i say i know what im talking about and hook me up on msn so we can talk

[PowerChaos]

hey,
i readed the treath and in 1 way it is just inposseble to do it
its not easy to debug the complete system to make +255 avaible to compose (rewriting the server file ?? )

the main point of a private server is that there is ep drop , some extra things you dont got on the normal game or you need to pay XXX for (like vip level cost 150$ to get vip level 1 :S )

then there is a difference betwean highrate and low rate
high rate are for players that love to compose and dont want to do anyhting els then compose (isnt that easy ??) and focus the most time on money (i dont say every1 does it )

then the low rate servers are based on gameplay like the normal eo (atleast my server then :P) and they dont got extra things , just easyer to get but we focus us on the gameplay and bugs to fix , we stay at a stable release to (probaly 1 of the oldest clients at this moment :S but whit a lot of fixes in it )

it all depends how you want to play
the donations depends from server to server

the 1 want to make profit and set some nice stuff online that you can only buy ( 4 summon ?? , 5 summon ?? , +255 equip and so on , you get the point :P)

then other servers doesnt care of profit that mutch , they want to have fun and development and a long playlist of players that plays for months/years instead of a couple of days and just use the money for 99% to the server to provide better servers

so , its what you like , they are both funny to play on , but depending what your game style is (going for friends and legions and guilds and pk tour and you care of prices ?? or just want to have a quick gameplay whit a lot of pk and doesnt care about bugs and prices ?? )

so , to create a ideal server is hard to know what you need to do

in any way , i tryed to create as 1 of the first for a low rate server (i guess) and i am buzzy whit it for about 7 months now and got a top of 127 player and now back to 20 players because a rollback (yes , they care about it )

so , its up to you to choose your game server you like , but you will never find your ideal server (or create 1 on your own ) because there need to be a line somewhere to make it good
if i going give away +255 items then i go for the money , if i dont do it then its fair play but then its not your ideal server anymore ?? can you get what i mean ??

ok , that was it then what i wanted to say

for the rest , i wish you good luck whit finding your ideal server
i got my ideal server like i always wanted it (bugfree and normal gameplay) or that is atleast what i try to do :P

i guess that is why you make 2 servers, one low rate with no donations and 1 high rate with donations or you go with his/her ideas and you go with only 1 donation of a sort and make everything usable on the game, yes it is VERY possible to upgrade to +255, you just need to know what your doing and your objective... dont say everything he/she said is impossible, because it isnt as i went thru it in my head and its all very possible.

[a7med124]

ohh ..
Nice ideas ..
Sounds good ..
But i love the craZy servers that comps rates 50x .. XD

[funhacker]

nice post
yea alot of pservers are pay2win but imo ACME has been balanced very good making it possible for anyone to get any of the donation prizes (except for a custom casual which only the person that pays for it has) but on that note they can still sell to another character

[Necron33]

Well,forcer ACME is a special case,as you get a very huge player base,your player won't leave your server for another after working for months so,he will be kindly forced to donate for Non-really BP Making stuff IF he *he wants to donate*.

there is no "forcing" as you kindly put it...

[Necron33]

didn't mean it,you know , i mean your players got no other chances =P, that's why ACME is a special case , i didn't mean force in the way you think i ment that if i wanted to donate and I'm a player i would go for ACME *oldest server online* and donate their, and ACME doesn't have an extreme donation rewards , so i will just donate for low.
