I like the idea of potions and the graphics they made but I don't think they're appropriate for Zormite and the context of playing as a Zormite character. Yes we will honor the proud ethnic Zormite race. It was actually the first kingdom I joined back in the day.

Really having alternate races like Human, Zormite, etc makes more sense than having Bomy players. There are also graphics that were made for a kappa/turtle race and a wolf race.

One problem I had with Konidias' vision for the server is that he planned to get rid of bottles as a means to store liquids, and instead wanted to make it so bottles appear only as an icon for stuff.
I like the idea of bottles being a practical item that can be used to store stuff, and always was a fan of how it worked on old school 2k1, so I won't be using these sprites for stuff like Zormite Potions.

Ha. Reminds me of when Tyhm tried the same sort of thing on Classic. It wasn't well received, mainly because the races weren't properly balanced and certain skills were bugged. Also it wasn't really fitting of a Classic style spar server. But I thought it was a pretty novel idea and incredibly innovative at the time. I'd definitely be interested if you tried the same thing on your server.

I wonder if any of Tyhm's old work on this still exists?

I remember that version of classic, and personally I thought it was awesome. I played as a zorbi and remember you could shoot bubbles or something. It was hawt.

Yeah you could trap players inside or something. There was a vampire race that only allowed healing through PKing (I think). And a gnome and saint race as well (I think). It was all great stuff, and I personally liked it, but it could only have been used on a more RP centric server. It just didn't work on Classic because it already had an established identity.
