Server Idea

Motu · Post by **Motu** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:59 pm

ok, I got an idea for a server that no ones ever made, that is completly different from the typical lvl 300+ servers witch are quite boring now. I was thinking lvl 80 max lvl! only maps are Newb Zone, Both Towns, Both Farms, and the Nooby Dungeon!. It would be sweet lvl 80 pvp, back in the olden days of Int and USA when every one first started. I think this would be a hit server if made correctly, and the hosting was rite. I cannon host on my crap tastic computer.. Im just the idea man. heh. if any one who has the know how, and ability to make such a server add me to MSN life_iz_a_playground@hotmail.com

Hopefully someone takes this seriously and at least trys.

Ciao

Lol I was recently contimplating a heavily edited pvp server. It would be a simple task compared to most projects currently in development in the hb community.

so what are u saying

? cuz this one would have to be edited preety dam good too. A lvl 80- cant kill an Ogre or nething.. and Ogre and up drop Armours and Weapons that one might need. sooo... Ud have to make lower lvl mobs drop hier quality gear <_< .. and so on and so forth. I think this would be preety sweet.

Reminds me of back in beta, when the farm was the cool place to be. Got to watch all the new people get attacked by unicorns. Was great.

This kind of easyer PvP can be achieved by other means...
- Raise stat limits (250 ?)
- Lower max level but not too low ! (140-150)
- 1/2 the dext bonus for defence.

But yes, a very low XP low max level server could prove funny, provided you adjust some things... But how long would that last ?

Remove npc, lvling, exp, etc. Open arenas in both towns and have a pts system for EK. Spend the points on upgrades to your character and items. Eventualy update a 1v1 feature for staking items like rs has. Aslong as the updates kept flowing the players will keep playing. Just start off simple.

i think hes saying.. basicly new diffrent gameplay.. saying screw all thos higher lvl Monsters... and adding mabey new low lvl monsters... new items. new every thing... but.. it would be noob battles... just something simple thats like hosting 3 maps... if u dont do new weapons, new monsters and stuff.. i would say just make max lvl 80 and then just host mabey 1 map.... or 2.... becouse not very many people are going want to use a Hoster, or Ram on something soo small...

Whats up dax

I dont mean that at all. I mean letting people start at say 140. Have a max of about 160 and let ppl buy levels.

Yep. PM me ur MSN.

With lower level characters the pvp would rely on skill, not god like gear that alot of servers now adays have and one or two maps would be neat to pvp in but make sure all characters when in arena are some level so it would be more of a competition

You could even turn the server into more like a chat room where the server selects a random event type and players select their stats for that certain event. Then have say 4 basic maps with rules/level limits and let players use them freely. Theres alot of possibilities.

have a pts system for EK. Spend the points on upgrades

This seems a nice idea, but with HB it' absolutelly wrong.
EKs could have value only if you're sure the opponent will defend himself.
It' so easy to have lame EKs, and so difficult to detect them if those Lame Eks are made by clever people...

PvP is an important feature in HB, but can't be the main scope for character progression...

You raise several valid points there but one i dont totaly agree on. Laming EK is alot like modern law. If you know how people get caught, you can beat the system. If people dont understand why their character is getting messed up from laming EK even though they have tried a few methods, odds are they will stop. But if a player knows how he is getting caught then they will find new methods. In other words, keep your protection secret. Also if PVP was a by-product of events than EK laming would not be as efficient as it would only result in the spoils of one kill. If you were to open an area players can enter/leave/pvp freely then yes EK will be exploited for all its worth. Anyway I've spent enough time pondering this server style and have spotted too many downfalls to consider taking this any further. Anyone else considering taking this any further? I'd be happy to release any notes or formulas that i've based on this game style.

ah Dax, raining on my peraid, lol. I do see some downfalls to this type of thing but it would be an interesting server to atleast try and make and something of it. In my experience Ive never come across to many ek lamers on servers.. just hackers that edit their characters. That is more easly delt with then a clever ek lamer I find. Feel free to toss more ideas around for a low lvl pvp server.

and someone make this server! haha
