Well, seeing as I'm active again, I might as well start Darkstorm up for the summer with some activity.

Well, here are the things I'm bringing back to darkstorm. Some of them are actually new.


1: Nerzuul existing Means more quests, battles, more general roleplaying.

2: Modified shops, new shops.. There will be different places. The type of shops will vary, depending on the area. Also, most of them offer the ability to learn professions and learn SKILLS.

3: New skill system...
Monsters (There will be a lot mroe of these) drop a whole bunch of different items. Some of these can be used to make potions, metal, leather.. etc. You can apprentice a shop, and eventually, this will allow for a lot more of an economy in the game.

How it works: Basically, you get the raw items from the monsters. Then, depending on the profession, you can take it to your master. He will show you a skill, which you can memorize and practice. General stores have paper and ink and quills which you can use to record your skills. If you make an item, but are missing an ingredient, sometimes the item will either fall apart, cause you pain, or do something else.

The professions available are..

Alchemy
Metalsmithing
Leather working
Cloth working



These also allow for more quests! The shops will carry cool new items everytime you complete a quest!

Watch for updates right away!

SUMMER FESTIVAL!

Soon, preparations will be complete for a summer festival in the Colliseum! Not only will there be a big tourney where people fight monsters until they die, but shops will be demoing their items that they are going to sell! Well.. what are you waiting for? GO PLAY!

did u ask cspace about the new skills? last time cspace cancelled the smithing/mining idea

[X Zolon]

No.. I cancelled that. Too much work. THis, however.. is much simpler. Besides, it's adding to the economy and roleplay.. the latter by A LOT!

Plus.. it won't be so easy to just make a ton of cash, seeing as the monster drops are random (I role dice over on this end) Also.. no experience, you only have to learn how to make something from someone in order to doit. Practice though, or you'll forget!

[X Zolon]

[Godfather]

You R bartender and You R gonna learn.

[Cspace]

Hehe, we'll have to discuss this, but we'll see what can happen.

Just be sure to check with me before making some big thing because there will be a progression that will lead to the actual MMORPG we're making (in the plot).

[X Zolon]

Neato.

*PMs you*

[SUPERHERO11]

I know i realy sound dumb


But what exactly is darkstorm is it a rpg script or a game sorta like runescape?

[X Zolon]

...

*points down to the DarkStorm forum*

[X Zolon]

*BUMP*

C'mon, people! GET ACTIVE!

[Spikeout]

Must get leatherworking

[X Zolon]

Hehe, you got shut down, whereas Obi is set for Alchemy and clothworking.

>.< i still think there should be an armor shop. There's just no way to get armor, period!! THAT'S SO BOGUS!!! Am I supposed to run around killing trolls *AHEM* in just a pair of breifs???

also, I think we have a problem with the game being fair: everything relies on post count. That means that people who just post around, who suddenly decide to play DS, are much more powerful than some people who have been playing DS much longer than they have.

>.< what's up with that???

I think that if the current most active members
(me, spike, viet, XZ, obi) put our heads together, we can think up a way to make the game more fair, and more fun to play.

Lord knows many things i have to kill can decimate me in one hit.

Yet, in killing them, i gain what, 3 posts?? that doesn't even give me a significant increase in EP!! nowhere near another spell or HP or what have you!

meh, done ranting... off to thinking of a better way...
