First Impressions?

DARKVILLIN · #1 03-05-2007, 07:17 AM

So, lately I've found myself hopping from Private server to Private server just to see whats up...Ya know see if there is anything promising in the works. So, I'd like to share with you guys what I come across as I visit new Private servers randomly. (For those of you as well who don't have access this gives you a little peek at some servers as well.)
Note to Forum Admins- I am using my own personal hosting and webspace for all of the content/multimedia that I share with this community so there is no need to worry about attachments or file size.
Secondly, Everything that will be shown has been found by legally by exploring or entering the server and is accessable to everyone who can access private servers. I also understand that Servers are in the works so they are not expected to be at their very best and some of the servers may be working on seperate overworlds than the ones currently acccessable to players, BUT this is the first impression so too bad? Hehe, on that note shall we start? :P

Trinity: Oakdale City
Current Playercount as of 7:11 EST: 7

Screenshots:

-As of this screenshot the server looks kind of boring. I also don't understand why an UC really needs GPs. I maybe be wrong but I guess first priorities isnt hiring developers. *shrug*

-This is one level south of the previous one...then

-This is the next level south...oopsies! Goes from so-8 to so-23...This was not the only place that it did that as well.

-One of the staff randomly summoned me to an inside level...Err...

Lastly...

-Heh Cars..whatta know. Anywho at least they somewhat took the time to draw the semi right perspective out...Kudos i guess...

Symphonia
The server of Copywritten music?

Lol so this song is played as you enter the starting level. It's not the exact song--theres is only the piano and voice...mine is the full one cause I couldn't find the one they had...

(NOTE TO ADMINS-Since I am hosting that link-graal needs not worry about copyright protection seeing as how it is on my site.) (Plus I am not gaining any commercial value by using it as an example, err although the server should still take it off i believe)

-I dont get the blue tree?

-Not real fond of the tileset nor people using tree gfx instead of tiling

-The bottles don't match the rest of the server? =/

-Water

These are the first two servers, I'll post more shortly

You must be suicidal if you're going to look at crap playerworlds one after the other. Someone save him!

Why only post the negative, especially on playerworlds that are under construction? Positive feedback in some way is imperative for self asteem I think.
The first pw isn't too bad for a classic type feel, and the second one is quite good level wise imo.
Not enough info on either one to come to any type of conclusion except level wise to some extent.

I've looked at a lot of playerworlds in development....there's not much positive stuff about them

You can find some positive in most of them, even if it is something small. Positive critisism, and even negative critisism done in a positive way goes a long way a lot of times to give pw owners a little push to do better. Note that this doesn't always work because of some peoples reasons as to why they make a pw, but it can't hurt...

Once again like we discussed via PM you really should learn everything clearly 100% before trying to insult me and only making yourself looked down upon. Anywho I will be posting more later today. Also maybe I am a straight forward guy. It helps more in life. Beating around the bush will only make things half-assed.

Wait, what? I wasn't insulting you. I was offering some advice to look for some positive input in servers if you are going to do a decent review. I in no way insulted you.
Don't know why you took it as an insult.

Its like UN I believe. The only guns they told me would be in their CS event which is okay I believe. No guns will be on the overworld. They have a lot of neat little NPCs which players can collect and use.
