re-proposing Book System (Unixmad, Stefan, Developers, Read)
 

I strongly think a good Book system is needed for Graal. I think it would be a good way to increase player knowledge and wisdom.

A player walks up to a book, he opens it (with a cute gani) and an image of an open book fills the screen, you can flip pages using the arrow keys (the pages fliping is animated and has neet sound effect) and you can read stuff.

I'm sure alot of players would love the opertunity to write books and get them uploaded into the world.

You could use a color system to show what type of book is it aswell, for example a blue book would be a spell book and increase knowledge and magic, a brown book would be a history book and increase wisdom, a green book would be a player submited book of no importance (increases inteligence very very little.) a red book would be a religious book (similer to modern day bibles etc.) etc.

For history, the past and events of kingdoms could be recorded, along with religious things from the Gods. This would add more depth to the Graal World, and ultimately make new players feel like they really thrown into a massive world with a strong past.

Basicaily it gets the imagination going; what every good RPG SHOULD do.

This beats the other two ideas. :)

Thanks, this is my favorite one. :)

Ray :D

Thats an awsome idea! And perhaps when you finish a spell book the knowledge will pop up, becuase if it just tells you how to do it people would just be tellign their friends and stuff. Very l33t idea! Also, when people are reading a book they should be non-pkable, to be fair

I like this idea... A LOT!

Aylad runs outside, picks stranger at random, slashes with sword... stranger gets mad, tries to counterattack... Aylad whips out his dog-eared copy of The Two Towers and sips lemonade while the frustrated victim makes faces at the now-invincible attacker...

Nah. You're pkable the rest of the time, why should books be "safe"?

This is already online, what do you think the "writting pen" is for?

yey I have writing pen =)

Now I can spread thge word of my God, buwhahahah!


o.o'; but wouldn't that sort of turn stuff into a gk1?

"OMGOMGOMG! I GOTZ BOOK WRITTENED BYE STEFAN LOLOLZ SELL 4 1000 PLAT!!11"

o.o..... I still love the idea.

The Books would be stationairy, not items you take with you and carry.

Okay, then how do you write?

I don't really see the value of actualy writing the book in game. I actualy see alot of problems with it-- We'll have books filled with OOC stuff like "I 4r3 1337 h4x0r!!!"

I think it'd be cool that when Graal needs a book added, they'd have a contest here on the forums and people could vote.

There's a writing pen? Where do you get it?

Warriors start with it...
