New Oldschool Project

[FM]JunkoZane · 02/15/2015, 16:56

Hello Sro-community,

At the moment I'm working on a project. This project is to make an oldschool server in a new cote/jacket. It is still a working progress so that's why I've this poll to check what you guys want for an "new-oldschool server".

Information about my project:

It will be a raising cap server
Server will start at 70 cap
Server will end at 100 cap

Besides the poll I also want to know what keeps you busy on a server. If you all could tell me all the things that you are doing and is fun to do on a server. The more information I get from this community, the more I can take that with me when the server will be developed.

I'm asking you to put your faith and trust in me. This is my last attempt and I wanna make it work and worth it. Please sro-community, help me out!

Cheers!

Edit:
I've opened a new post with some details about my project, check it out and give your opinion.

I see many people (743) are reading this thread but aren't giving their vote and opinion, only 32 players did give their vote. Again people these make your vote and opinion, without this I won't have information. It would take like 1-2 minutes to do this.

I'm not trying to offend you at all, just clearing a point here.

I don't see this as an offend at all, I'm not that kind of person that see this as negativity

All I want to do is break this stupid ritme were servers open and close all the freaking time because I'm sick and tried of it. I've been here for a long time now and have joined many servers but non where I really enjoyed playing.

The words "Long-Term" and "Oldschool" have been screwed and I'm trying my utmost to fix this.

All I want is that the community to put their faith and trust in me by supporting me because with my project I want to launch a server that is really worth playing.

then don't do a server with caps increasing every once in a while because all it does is **** off players. Try something like a constant cap with a very difficult end gear system so people take forever to get them. Other than that, you will just fail because you're not joymax to keep increasing caps and expect success and don't do China only because the server will end up with Glaivers and Bowers wearing garment sets and the server will end up being a pot war server.

In the last years we have had enough constant cap, so it's time for something new. With raising cap you'll feel some nostalgia and can partly re-live that old days.

About very difficult end gear system, don't worry about that. Lately the community is spoiled and want to get everything very fast which will lead into dullness. On my server you'll need to work your butt off in order to archive something.

I don't agree with you on the part that I will fail because I'm not Joymax. I haven't seen any other server that have tried to raise the cap on their server, so it's a new experience. We will see if it will work or not.

I think you have to wrong mindset atm. Just give and give me your opinion on what's keeping your busy on a server. It won't hurt by doing this, maybe you will notice that it was worth your time after all

I have seen servers trying to raise their cap levels but you probably weren't even in this community back then. I'm not allowed to mention names since against the section rules but I can tell you that 3 big servers tried that and failed and the rest were failing anyways so it wouldn't have made a difference.

This account might be new but I've been here a long long time. If you would be nice to give me a private msg of the names of those server with the server links, I'd would appreciate that.

Working on a project without knowing which CAP should it be...ok

and the another thing is to be well prepared for a server.

I don't think you've read my thread "good" enough because I've mentioned in my thread and I'm well prepared for a server, don't worry about that

Making everything extreme hard will lead to zero players. Giving everything so easy will get the players bored within the first week or two. Achieving balance on this? You will need to work your **** off in order to achieve balance.

Few questions you will face no matter what you do.
What is the different between you and Joymax?
How much time it will take to rise the cap?
How long does it to take to reach the maximum level and get all the best gear?

if easy will lead to 2 weeks server
else I better play the official instead of the private server

Lots of grammar mistakes but I'm too lazy to fix any.

It will not be extremely hard but hard, you'll need to work like you did on iSro and this will take time. This will lead into a "Long-Term" server.
My server will definitely not be an easy server, there are plenty of those servers outthere.
I'm already working my **** off on this project. For the record I'm working a few months now on this project.

To answer you questions:

I can't answer this question right away because my project is still in working. As soon as I can answer your question you will hear it from me.
The time between the rise of the cap will be long and I'm not talking about weeks but more like months because I want people to enough the cap before I'll raise the cap, I don't have the accent time yet.
The time reach max level and end gear will be long. It will take some weeks to get max level (depends if you are going solo or with party). The end gear will take some time to make it complete (with plus and full blue).

"oldschool"

Don't even try using that term, it's worse than an overused condom.
There have been over 500 "oldschool" servers. Each one insta died.

That's because all those other servers mis interpreted the word "oldschool".
The way I'm using the word oldschool is by putting it in a new cote/jacket, "new-oldschool" as it says in my thread (I've quote it for you).

But I can understand where you are coming from and why you are saying this, thanks for pointing it out Akasch

The power lies in the mechnics. Progressing each level by each killed mob gaining every little experience orb - BORING as ****.
No one needs this 1337 bullshit anymore.

Try to think different.
On my mechanics, I just removed the level up possibility along lv 19 to 20. You have to do something else to gain the level up, instead of butchering hords of mobs.

And no, I am not going to share my script. Nuh shiny script fo uh!!
