The end of zodiac is upon us. - Page 2

Okay, I should appoligize. I guess these people that got fired were trying to bring Yen back into power on Zodiac. So I'm sorry for all the statements that I made towards Calani.

Twinny · #2 07-03-2007, 09:43 AM

Now I'm the only developer apart from Calani

it would be nice if they were to increase the XP but that isnt happening.... not only that increase the respawns cause waiting just doesnt cut it.... there are so many people that want to do the same thing at the same time and with the respawns set to a certain time it is hard to get your chance

The respawn time and amount of monsters should be based on the amount of players in the level, not just a fixed amount of monsters with a long ass respawn time.

Zodiac is like many MMOs tbh

Inspiration · #8 07-03-2007, 11:54 PM

Zodiac is just a really watered down version of Ragnarok Online.

Like I said, it's a ripped off version of multiple MMORPGs. Yen told me and he's the one who made all the stuffs.

Well, I have played my fair share of games and wow is the first game that I heard call a dungeon an Instance, which Zodiac calls their dungeons now. They have some of the same attack names also. Oh and Their Drunk NPC. Max level is now 60? hmm does that sound familiar.

Like I said, they ripped off multiple MMORPGs. 2 points don't justify it being a rip of JUST WoW. Look at the class names, the way they're arranged (Thief -> Assassin for example), that's ragnarok. Then you have a handful of other things, but in the end it doesn't matter because it's a huge pot of different games stirred into one.

This creates some good gameplay, and made the server pass to Classic. It wasn't the levels, it sure as HELL wasn't the graphics (seriously, the PWA must have not even looked at the monstes LOL), but it was the gameplay.

Inspiration · #14 07-04-2007, 01:06 AM

Uh, WoW has complex job classes, actual team-based instances (it doesnt matter what Zodiac calls their dungeons, they're nothing at all alike).

The item system is completely different, the skill system is completely different, the stat system is completely different, the class system is completely different, the methods of travel are completely different, the endgame is completely different, need I go on?

Just because you can pick 7-8 elements of a game with literally hundreds of comparable elements does not mean that the two are identical.

It's like saying two people are almost identical because they both have blue eyes and blond hair.

I don't really agree with the part about ignoring *****ing @ balanced classes because thats assuming the classes are actually thought out and done by a competent person. Rest is cool for the most part.

O Rly?

coreys · #21 07-04-2007, 10:40 PM

Maloria's players and a good amount of their staff always hated Maniaman because they thought he was lazy because he never developed (He literally can't, now, he used to script for v2, but he never picked up GS2 so he can't work on v3), so, yeah, developing when you're a manager is important.

I'd to that too if it wasn't brought up all the time.

Black_Wallstreet · #35 08-04-2007, 08:24 AM

Newsflash, Zodiac died 2-3 years ago. It would have never made it succesfully when installed to the "classic" list, if Maloria had still been around.

MrAnonymous_P2P · #36 08-04-2007, 08:30 AM

maloria ftw

kenyonandelliot · #37 08-04-2007, 09:07 AM

whatever happened to maloria.. i was gone for a few months and it disappeared during the time I was gone.

papajchris · #38 08-04-2007, 10:52 AM

Zodiac was made to kill Maloria. Hey: it worked!

And more wrong

Zodiac in no way killed Maloria. We still had a normal playercount of 20-30 when we decided to go under development. We only did that because time ran out on our dev server, and we had no one to pay. Although Zodiac is a blatant rip off of many things, including Maloria, it is still a vastly different server from Maloria, so it was never poised to "kill" us.

And v3 is alive an well, actually. The systems are nearly complete, thanks to a great man named Stan. Not to mention our staff team grows every day, it seems.
