More RPG in CRPG - Communal Grounds Server?

[Elindor]

Thomek, I agree - it could be a communal meeting place instead of IRC or whatever - maybe there is a theatre where people can sit and discuss things.

As to clan buildings - i could see that being an issue....maybe there is an area with a bunch of tables in a row and each one  can have a clan banner on it and clans can prepare a 200 character blurb about themselves that if someone presses "F" on the table they read that blurb?

Chat - maybe there is global and another one right around you?  I dont know if thats possible.  Perhaps just a mechanism to talk specifically to one person or something.

Also - even if theres a lot of people on this server, its no big deal because this server isnt about combat so ping/lag is not an issue.  It could even be hosted on a lower end server.

* I know my original post says this but - this would add SO much to crpg and give it LIFE outside of pure combat all the time, extending the LIFE of the mod and the players who populate it *

Only if there's camels.

This is done in PW either. Admins can do that. They select the player from the menu. Pain in the arse though, if server has more than 60 players; even when the list is set according to the kingdoms.

I think you should play PWmod Elinder, if you still haven't. You'll be enjoying a lot.

I have heard about it - will check it out.

But I'd rather see this element introduced to CRPG

I like these ideas.

I can see people asking for dueling lessons etc, and some vets standing around the tavern chatting and noticing the poor guy asking for help.

And not bothering to help, unless the guy has some diplomacy skill, or offer a drink to the vets' table.
Wich is how it should be, definitely !

The only thing to keep in mind when to designing this kind of gamemode is also thinking carefully on balance among classes. HA, lancer, shielder, twohander etc etc. Not that it has to include combat. Just keep in mind. Take riding for example. It might be a huge adventage.

And finally we may have swashbucklers to be useful. Just add ships to this gamemode, and make swashbucklers to be able to use them

[Elindor]

Hmm, Ronin im confused by your post....

I was thinking this would be just a big map of a medieval village or town - keep, market, some tents, an inn, a church, some little arenas, etc...and thats it - not a whole world like PW

Also - I was thinking that combat would be DISABLED in this server.  Its just a place for players to go hang out, talk, practice things, mess with new weapons/armor, etc between time on the siege/battle servers.

...although it would be cool if this town was on the shore of some lake/ocean and there were some ships to run around on too.

I do not think disablind combat is possible, if you have weapons. Well that would mean to removing 4 attack directions from all weapons only for this server, which seems hardly possible. By the balance issues I just meant that cav players would be able to travel the map more quickly, depending on how large the map is going to be. I just wanted you to invite to think of this factor if it is going to get in the way. That's all about it

Now, english version please for everyone to understand..

Combat could be disabled the same way duel servers work (no collision)  ....
Maybe weapons can have no collision with players, just with target dummies....not sure.

More +1's!
