Server sounds great but a couple of suggestions:

-Go with a somewhat small GMAP (maybe 8x8?). 90% of Zodiac isn't ever used, same could be said about UN, and 100% of maloria isn't used.
-You really need to find an idea that will make everyone think your different than Zodiac and Mal. Based on the graphics you have, the server will look better, but you need a reason for players to drop everything they own on Zodiac to come to your server. Will you have better quests, storyline, or active kingdoms?

And last but not least a warning about what your doing with your money when you pay for the server:

Why'd you write MORPG instead of MMORPG?

kia345 03-31-2011 04:47 PM
I highly doubt you actually got Fate trademarked. Or that logo, considering it just looks exactly like the preexisting Fate's logo.

Thanks for the feedback, Yeah I was looking more to hire less to appeal as we're still very in the design phase, but there is just some that I didn't touch on. Wanting to keep some of it a secret, at least :D

No trademark--Didn't even check for a pre-existing Fate. But honestly it was inspired from the final fantasy font and the final fantasy tactics T has a sword. Doodled accents in paint.

I also think the FATE gamebook uses the generic "SWORD-T" thing too.

Shards-Of-Fate 03-31-2011 10:43 PM
Just played some of FATE, Its actually really cute. I'll remove the trademark and add project to the logo, as it is still a project and Fate is in no way a final name.


:D We now have a composer for the theme song~
