A few things are still up in the air, but that's basically how the server will go. I've only just started it, so unfortunatly, I have nothing done yet to show you.
I normally would not post this kind of thread, however, I do plan to do this, and have almost everything figured out. There shouldn't be many scripting obstacles in the way, however, I would like a good scripter. Obviously, we're gonna need a lot of gfx work, levels as well. The top down perspective can be hard to make unique levels, but I think with a good looking tileset, we can manage. In fact, it should be easy. We will also need some good sound fx
So anyway, we're hiring all dev positions. I'll post content when I have it.

Suprise stan. And i havent even spammed half your dr thread you dip. But wtf is with legend, be more you know, original.

Well, Legend is all the ideas I, or other people had before, but was either too lazy to do, or it would have been too difficult.
There will be multiple overworlds, because there will be multiple planets. You'll have to fly to them.
There will be nations controlling certain planets, or parts of others. There wil be fights to take control of a moon. I'd love to see if it was possible to make a 'global' map, basically, it loops around like it's wrapped around a sphere. But I don't think its posible.
I plan to make so many vehicles, a huge overworld, where you can go below ground, above it, over the sea, flying, or even going into space. Shooting down an enemy plane, blowing up enemy fortresses with a gps guided nuclear missile. Break into space stations owned by the enemy, etc. Eatch 'match' would last a few weeks, giving time for a lot to happen.
I after the matches, any changes (like one nation took over a moon, or stole a supply of missiles) they will keep them even in the next match. Players would be stuck on the team the whole time, however I will allow requests to switch if there's any problems (Mystic, you and I wouldn't be on the same team ). If he teams get unequal, then I'd switch it around a bit. You'd have to buy replacement tanks, planes, etc for your team. I plan to make it very realistic, and it will take some strategy, and of course, skill.
As for the exp system, I don't think it's going to be extreme. There won't be a huge difference from a noobs stats, and a Legend's stats (Legend=highest rank).
I want there to be some nation loyalty, but also a competition for most kills, hghest rank, etc. I think with all the ways you can play, it's going to be really awesome

Sounds cool, I'd help out if I thought it would be completed.

Show me some stuff in first person from the client, and it'll make me a semi-believer.

[excaliber7388]

I'll post it when I have some good looking stuff. Right now I have just that crappy person I used for making the movement scripts, and a few street/sidewalk tiles.
I'm gonna need a good gfxer, as it's a little hard to tell how big a building is, etc from a birds eye view. I may put the 'camera' at a slight angle, but it would loose a bit of it's ease of gameplay, which is not something I want.
After playing with it on my laptop, I've decided there will also be a second set of controls you can use, for when it may be hard to use the mouse/keys.

To be honest, you need to learn to program and make a game.

Just named your server The Next Failure V.2 . Analyze what you did wrong with your last server because it seemed you never wanted to admit that. Just like George bush and telling lies.

DR failed because:
It was not unique enough
It was not being developed quickly enough (to become unique)
Because it started out crappy, and no one was willing to check it out after that.

Hey if you need any help with scripts/Sound effects/Graphics I can help you. :P I have finally mastered Fireworks MX

Quick screenshot.
The character is a test one, this is about the size of the character, but they'll look better. I just made it quick to test the scrips, etc. The tileset is a work in progres, and so far, I've been the only one working on it

[Luda]

horrible I liked your old idea with midevil stuff or w.e
