Anzell Staff Opening
 

THE LEGEND OF ANZELL

Hey folks,

It has taken me sometime to decide to begin looking for any staff here, so here goes.

Story: One dark night, eight thousand years ago, the silence of sky and earth was split by the roaring sound of a great and monstrous cataclysm. The startled peoples of the world awoke to see a mass of fire rolling across the sky towards the earth. Chaos ensued as the massive comet rocked the earth and for a time all was silent. For an hour the horizon glowed a brilliant and ghostly red and then all at once the earth shook with tremendous force. The sound of rock sliding and shattering. With a bright white flash all seemed to be on fire until the smoke cleared and Arkus Dele'rin walked to the mouth of a great river and saw an endless waterfall and all through the sky he saw massive floating rocks. He rushed back to the capitol of the great Deminic Nation and reported what he saw. The world had ended and all that was left were great islands left floating above the burning below world. The Golden Age of prosperity had ended and the Age of Wing had begun.

After eight thousand years the facts had been obscured and soon the world forgot that night, leaving the facts to turn and fade to myth...and to legend... Eight Thousand years after the great impact destroyed the nations of before, new places rose and the Legend of Anzell was born...

Purpose of Anzell: Legend of Anzell is (hopefully) going to provide a unique roleplay experience in a new server. The idea of the server is to create a fun and wholly exciting environment with expert and beginner Roleplayers. It is our hope to introduce people who have never heard of roleplaying to a well rounded server. Our staff (thus far) is dedicated and has experience in many fields inside and outside of Graal. Please come and enjoy the wonders of the deep story line, exciting places and interesting variety of people that Legend of Anzell provides.

Currently Hiring:

• LAT's
• GAT's
• NAT's
• SFX's
• Gani Artists

Thank you,
Rayvyn Dele'rin, Manager.

The overworld, currently trying to fix up a nifty script to make people small or whatnot. We need help, obviously. That map is just merely a test...

I'm really impressed with this server. Goodluck :cool:

OMG The Server Looks Great!!!

I think it has a really good start and is actually quite impressive, but I have some advice:

Maybe hire someone to make your storyline more organized and interesting/original?

Also, on the world map, maybe make it so the towns are spread out further? Because unless you make the person's character walk extremely slow, it seems that you could go from town to town very quickly, which wouldn't be very RPish.

Other than that, it looks good. :)

A few suggestions on multiple things. First of all, the light green grass doesn't quite look very fitting for the world map. I suggest making it a darker shade of green.

The storyline isn't all that interesting. Its a good start, but you definitely want to touch it up a bit and add more to it.

And to be a bit too honest, the detail on some of the levels is simply masked by the tileset; not always a good thing to do.

But other then that, yeah, its alright.

Now, this would be the part where any normal person would go on a rampage and say words such as "OMG! DUDE! ****! My server is cool! GAW!" But no. I appreciated all the critcism, and will definately use it to help Anzell out.

Regarding the worldmap, Currently, the map is being used as a test, and will definately be much bigger, but as of now, we're using that as a test.

Thank you all.

Looking good.

I'm not much of an RP type person, though if you make it and have a cool enviorment/community I think I could give it a shot. You got me excited. :P

Good luck. :)

Wow, people are enjoying those screenshot's. Maliko, scaring the crap out of me.

Wow, Era isn't the only one with clones anymore.

Besides that little point, it does look quite good and promising. The grass tiles in harmony clash though, and look a lot like Maloria's (which is not a compliment).

Good work.

Wow looks pretty cool,I hope the houses on the overworld match the matches in the actual town :redface:
yeah and spread the towns further ^^

I'd actually be really interested in helping this server out, if time allowed.

How long have you been working on this project?

Nevermind, it's a good idea, but it's not put together well.
Trees are.. Weird.. Some of them have a setshape2, while others have no script. The light effects were obviously taken from another server, since their waterfalls have a nice falling effect, while they're using smoke.png for a 'mist' effect. Also, all of the lamps and lanterns' positions are off by .5 x, so I'm assuming they don't understand what a class is. And the manager treated me like a regular player. What's up with that? (If you don't know me, I'm a stuck up elitist. =D)
And one last thing.. I wasn't going to bring it up, but.. I'm 90% sure the overworld tiles are from an RPG.


And oh my god, this is a wall of text. O-o

Wow, I love that map
Will look great when it is done, much luck to you

Well, it was obvious you wanted to be hired and wanted extreme power, and I can't be having people who are going to want extreme power over everyone. The current overworld, if you read the caption below it, is a just temporary. We know what classes are, and we are currently in the process of fixing our levels up. And the tiles for the overworld were made by Inquistor, whom is a friend of mine. If he also used it for a RPG, then oh well. And I have no clue what you mean when you say our light effects were taken from another server, we do all our light effects ourself, we don't "steal" other people's stuff. Besides my ranting on you, I'd like to thank all who seem to be being much more like human beings. Thank you. :D

A few days, actually

D: Acknowledging me makes me respond. Learn to ignore me.

You had a nice particle effect for lights falling down the waterfly.
However, for a 'mist' effect, you used smoke.png. If you really knew how to use a particle effect such as the one stated above, you most definately would have used one, rather than a crappy animated image. Also, I remember the flying lights in one of your towns being used in various levels.
The one that stands out most being Aegolas's garden on Valikorlia. You even used the exact same colors. x-x
And I'm not power hungry. I could care less how much power I have, but I know I'm an exceptional scripter, which makes me (atleast think I'm) more important. I could really care less who I have power over, but I take extreme offense to people who don't regard me with respect.

I showed you respect, I merely stated that you needed to send me an example of your work, I can't go by how good you say you are, I'd have to see proof of how good you are first. And, regarding the light effects, I still have no clue what you are saying, we did not steal light effects from any server. @_@

haha, yen got noob-owned.

As some have said, I highly recommend differentiating from the norm a bit more. The supplied story feels a bit muddled in places, and provides no real grasping concept that's novel or even memorable. It looks like it has the potential to be good, too.

If you need someone to bounce ideas off of, just AIM me.

Okay, so this server is the best ever because of this:

17.Please try to use proper grammar. That means no "HOMG leik I R use swerd! LOL" It's unhealthy.

Maybe you should either remove the stick, or learn from those more talented than you. Before you get up on your soapbox about someone else, why not post some of your work and I'll just go ask Lance, Jagen, et al. to come and critique just how good you are, maybe let them tell you HOW MUCH RESPECT YOU DESERVE. If you have to demand respect like a spoiled child demands candy, you most assuredly don't deserve it.

:D Aww, you're silly.
You make it sound like I'm rating the server based on it's manager.
I'm not.
The light effects are bad, the tiling is mediocre and too much like Valikorlia's, and the NPCs are messed.
And I'm not going to continue debating with this half-wit, but I can assure you that they DID NOT make those light effects.
Once again, I point you in the direction of the awesome 'mist' effect, which was made with a 'smoke.png' image, while it has a nice particle emitter above it. If you knew how to use an emitter, you wouldn't be using a 3 frame image for an effect.

Unless you particularly like that effect, stumbled into the waterfall pattern by accident, or just haven't been bothered to make a proper mist yet.

Enough of the arguing Yen. Quit acting as if you could do sooo much better, show us some work.

I already showed you a frigging MUD Library -.-'

Bz.

-Playfully nips Skyld.-
What's a bz!?

I don't recall you showing me anything, actually. @_@

It's hard to miss a big script like that. >_>

Did you send it to me in a PM on Anzell itself?

O_o Yes.

That'd be why I didn't see it, I went AFK while in the middle of talking to you...

Lol

player.postcount++;

Actually, Yen made some cool effects for Versus.

Yen: I still have them I think if you want them.

I can rescript anything I need. :]

I demand versus forums back! :mad: :mad:

Nice keeping on topic.

Yeah, Yen is a very good scripter...I also saw that first-hand with Versus, but there is no need to act like an ******* to this guy Yen. =/

I like your idea and the server looks excellent, but I must protest...why is your online start local exactly identical to that of the server "Dark Nations"?
Dark Nation's OSL
Your OSL
And that "part of the bridged city of Windshine" (last snapshot you displayed) - I'm pretty sure I have seen that somewhere else...either on Valikorlia or the Old Eden

O_o Holy Crap! That Is The Same! O___________o;;; Looks like I am going to have to have a little talk with the LAT that did ours.
