CHECK THIS OUT!!! (Page 1 of 2)

Uhhh...I'm not trying to cramp your style or anything and I encourage you to continue making this game, HOWEVER, I suugest you change the name and at least try to make it so you didn't steal the idea from Faldon as it has the possibility to get you all into some trouble. Other than that keep up the good work.

I was reading your forums and decided that you guys need to think outside the box a bit more:

First of all the skill title list you guys were coming up with was a joke. Alien-like...super-humanely those are rediculous and belong in a comedic game rather than a serious fantasy morpg...and then mixed in between were the exact same titles as that of Faldon. I suggest you change every title to something different except maybe the most basic ones like Noviceand Apprentice. It really isn't that hard just use a thesaurus and try not to be so comedic about it as you may think it is funny but in the long run it will give the game less merit.

Second Mia(I believe it was Mia anyways) had some good ideas for good rep, and bad rep names, however why does your game's reputation system have to be the same as that of Faldon's? Reputation does not solely rely on good or bad...add some other options to give it some diversity.

Finally the game is turning out to be a "Faldon 2" type thing. It seems all you guys want to do is expand on waht somebody else already made. Don't expand on somebody elses work...make your own. Its ok to use ideas from Faldon if thats where you got your inspiration but seriously...you guys need to think of different ideas rather than just expansion. I better not see a wuville!

Not to be an ass, but you keep talking about how you have this great T3 host and you spout out all these ideas, but as of the last time I talked to you about it, you had no programming done, no art done, etc.  I know all games must start from somewhere, but why ramble on about your T3 connection when you won't have a workable game for months?  Also, the thing with skills and reps... if you're serious about getting this game off the ground, concentrate on getting the framework done now.  I shall use an analogy (I use them a lot)... It's as if you were building a house and already planning to put the decorative mini-blinds in the bedroom before you've even had an architect draw up the plans.

You guys seem to be focusing on unimportant (at this stage) details before looking at the big picture.  At this stage, you should be saying "we want to have skills, we want to have spells, we want to have monsters, we want the game to be 3D, etc"  Not, "I think we should have a monster called 'BoB' who runs around and casts flamenovastrike on everyone!!!".  Kind of the fact that I don't see any big picture discussion/plans on your website really suggests to me that you aren't serious about this project of yours.  Start the framework now... decide if you're going to use 3d or 2d-sprites and get someone working on art.  Meanwhile, get a programmer working on the basic drawing, input, and networking code.  When you get to the point where it's time to add skills, get the framework in, add one or two to test it out, and then move on.  You can add all the details later, but until you have everything else, it's meaningless.

Those are my thoughts on it, it's up to you whether you blow it off or take it to heart.

ok
