Omega Is Hiring

Greetings fellow Graalians.
I have started up my project yet again, after my failed attempt at last years.
Where we were lead off of the project and many other things.
But i want to give it another try. We have no tileset as of now.
All i have are the ideas that i crafted last year, and several new ones.
These arent just random ideas either, ive carefully thought about what will and what wont work.

Omega.
Type of Server: Modern, Roleplay and PVP Environment.
Goal:
To create a modern environment, where everyone can interact with npcs and people in many ways. Police, Gangsters, Bounty Hunters, Any kind of person can be found on here.

Systems:
Skills will play a big role in the server, and gameplay.
Characters skilled in different things will do better at them of course, shoot straighter with guns and have less chance of jamming it or other things.
Guns shoot faster than on other modern servers. Giving a need or want for the ability to shoot straighter with say rifles or handguns, obviously with a shotgun it really doesn’t matter.

The tiles, Are going to have both newer and older versions. Say We have One building in the city, its new and really nice looking. But it could have a counterpart that is in the slums and that building would look like crap.

Now, i know the aspect of both an rp and pk environment sounds....wierd.
Even moreso in a modern setting. No, this will NOT become a server that looks like val/era.
But i am going to give this a try, and it should work out nice.
This project will of course take quite a while, and those that help the project will not be forgotten.
I am into making this work, so if you respond, please dont send me any stolen work; ive already banned a few people because they tried to apply with a bunch of stolen systems and such.
The server is currently staff only, so it wont matter to logonto it.

Thank you for your time in reading this atleast, and i hope to see you!
Gani artists are being accepted as well. But we only need one, seeing as how we really just need to get our tileset done.

Sounds pretty cool, but I'm too caught up with Soakath and that. If I'm free, I'll give you a shout.

The goal is interesting.

Though, to me, the details about the playerworld doesn't seem to be enough to have someone interested into the project. You gave one example of skills that will interact with the playerworld, but that doesn't seem like enough to be me in general because you said one skill. Of course, you might want to keep the ideas to yourself and your staff, but maybe explain in depth with detail?

Your right Malinko. I dont give much detail to everything that will be on the server.
And i have a very good reason for it.
I dont want people walking off with my ideas.

Has anyone played morrowind?
Thats pretty much the skills system right there. I will not be going completely right off that of course, because i dont think people want to go around lock picking just to level up. So im still getting an enjoyable levels system up, although skills will be a part of it. My idea for the server, is that i want people to have more than just one set of things to do. Such as pking, it can be fun...but one thing gets boring over time.
I want this to be an enjoyable server, so there wont just be pking in it.
Infact i plan on having pking coexist with some of the other things.
Money, Run a business, start small and build up. You have to be good enough to run in the economy to be sucessful.
RolePlaying aspect, I can say; i like the idea of being a business man, and a wanted criminal. In a modern environment where i point a gun at someone in a bank, then i have to negociate with some police to have my hostage released. Or maybe they decide to gun me down. What i want to do here is make a modern environment where you can do pretty much anything. Be anything. BountyHunter,Gangster,Corporation CEO, Black Market Dealer, whatever you want.
The whole idea behind the skills system is so you can "customise".
I didnt put it on there for the soul purpose of leveling, It is there so that your character can be adept at doing certain things.
As a player, when i go onto a server. I want something fun and entertaining to do.
Something that is rewarding, that i can work on; and eventually gain recognition for in a place of other players. I love interacting with other people in a constructive manner, using team work to solve things. Thats why an organised Swat team on a server where i actually play out the role of a swat officer would seem apealing to me if i were on a server that it was actually possible.
Housing, there will be player houses. Maybe not a house for everyone, thats why we will have apartments.
Buildings, there will be many buildings. Perhaps even a real estate type of thing going on, where you buy the property, and its given to you. I like the idea of owning something on a server; where i can come onto that server and say "hey, this is mine; i worked hard for it and now its something i can have fun with."
But theres also going to be empty buildings, perhaps a group of people decide to do a dealing ring in there, when the police get word of it, they send a few officers to investigate. The officers recieve gunfire, so they call for backup. In a matter of a few minutes, a swat team and additional officers are there; gunning down bad guys, and losing men in the process. Or perhaps theres a crooked cop in the deal, hes selling kevlar to criminals. And thats what started it in the first place.
Maybe someone decides they want to be a business man, and a hitman.
So your running your job up in the office, when you get a message for a hit.
You go on your lunch break, slip into the rest rooms and change your clothes.
Eliminate your target from whatever place you are at. If you do it well enough (Through use of hiding skill, and marksmanship...) You may just be able to slip past the cops and get away, arrive back at work just in time to finish your day and head home....or maybe your next mission?
The one thing i want the most for this server to be, is a bit of everything.
So that everyone can enjoy it. I have listed more things now. Mainly i focused on a few things. But if you guys want to hear more, just ask.
And for the record, this isnt even close to a bit of what i have in store. ^.^

Oh, I figured.

I just mentioned it. Would be nice to mention that only interested future staff can know further playerworld plans so people have an idea that the playerworld you are created is not boring because you didn't provide significant information. You know?

Makes sence. Perhaps what i said gives more of a better view at the plans i have for the server.

I dont think i named it after you o.o; Plus i plan on changing the name at some point.
But not right now.
Oh, i would also like to inform people...That the gfxer who does my tileset will get 30$ USD. I know nobody likes to do tilesets, so i thought that might help someone want to do it more. anyways, give me a ring on aim if your interested ^.^
