Server Direction

Hey guys. As ive been working on the server ive slowly been playong woth small aspects for personal pleasure (i love to make custom content) and i wanna know. would you all enjoy it if i released the custom content i make in my free time and turn the direction of the shard to Custom PvP or keep it on its linear mordred track? i have alot of cool ideas like custom classes. racial abilities and maybe a storyline as well as new stat systens and such. what would you all prefer to see? i wouldnt do a character wipe it eould be more like an expanson than a new server. up to you all please put some imput in and lets see what we want.

Sounds good to me. I think it would make the server more interesting. But releasing custom classes they would need balanced before getting released so we don't have the same problems as antebellum did with having op'd classes at the beginning then they get nerfed to hell where they ain't worth playing again.

hey i trued my best to balance atebellum but his classes were too far gone lol i will be releasing 3 classes origionally if this is where we go after extensive testing

I agree I think it will make the server more interesting and different from other servers as well.

some of my custom projects ive been playing with.. Werewolf class.. A new "craft" system of Gem Socets on items that can drop from mob's and possilby be crafted. a advanced Stat system when any and all stats could affect a player (you can outsmart a npc with high intel or make mobs not as agressive with high charisma) modify cap stats. and those are just some first thoughts

Custom stuff can be fun, specially new classes.  They add something new in a game we all prob have thousands of hours loged in.  The problems I see with this, specially the stat system is bugs.  Im all for it just don't wana see all my chars wiped.  Items I dont mind to much but leveling more toons to 50 is just getting old when I've done them all before.

What I would most like to see is a higher lvl cap, besides storm's D2 server havent had the chance to play around with high lvls.  Or even a multi class system or an ability to customize our class. Besides the normal RA / CL stuff which is kinda bland for adding spice.  Something to make all the stuff seem new again.

A drag and drop socket system, or some other way to customize gear ( specially droped gear ). By paying a npc to add slots to the item or a pc crafter.

the socket system would be drag and drop. the "crafting" part is if its too hard to farm gems i could male it farm or craft.. as for the advanced stats system. there are very few bugs that could come from it unless you mean the higher stat cap. that can lead to issues hehe

of corse i wouldnt do a char wipe unless absolutely needed which withy current ideas are not needed

Hey guys just a little update on my progress. Werewolf/Templar basics are in as well as a beta system for socket gear. Socket gear is in and functional but it currently can be used on ANY item with an open bonus slot. I will be fixing it to only work with items that have assigned "sockets"

when i have time ill be working on templar styles, and werewolf/templar spells

Whenever you are able to teach me how to do coding some I can try to help

maybe some time next year when gf is in school and i have some free time
