Bomy Island Staff Hiring - Page 4

konidias · #46 08-04-2005, 02:17 AM

So far I've only found one good LAT and he's doing great work so far. It's really going to help just having him helping with levels. He apparently doesn't want credit for it though, so I can't really reveal who it is.

Oh and I was working on more attributes and things today, here is what I have so far:

There is still going to be a face accessory as well as gloves and neck accessory and earrings as well, so that's still 4 more attributes left to add. I hope this animation can show people exactly how much work is being put into the character alone. :P

uh theres not gonna be like armor or anything right because that would ruin 2k1

i want 5 hearts. Maybe 6. No HP/armor system/etc.

No there are no stats on the armor. It's just for show. There's no stats on the clothing or swords or shields or anything. Everyone will have the same amount of hearts and the same sword power.

but basically we'll be able to purchase/win gear to make us look different from others?

and there will still be free crap to make us look different as well? Thats what I hate about GK the most..EVERYONE HAS THE SAME GOOD ITEMS.

Yes, you will be able to purchase some stuff from shops and win some stuff from events.

There's going to be enough clothing and hairstyles and face styles and skin colors and everything so that nobody needs to look the same. There are no "good" items on Bomy Island. There are some rare items but the rarity will make it impossible for them to be worn by everyone. You'll actually be buying things because you want to wear them for your style/look, not because they are the "best" available items.

The only real difference between this system and the original "setbody" system is that the clothing is not free and that's because I wanted to add variety to the economy. Also with this, people can't just change genders or species or copy people's looks in mere seconds.

It encourages roleplaying because you'll have to stick with the gender you picked from the start, and you have to obtain the clothing you want. I haven't exactly decided what clothing you get when you start out but I think something like dirty rag clothing and a wooden shield and sword would look nice. Maybe there would be a random factor on what color of raggy clothing you get. =P

This doesn't really have anything to do with the encouragement of roleplaying or not. None the less, one look systems are restrictive to roleplaying when playing a new character or a secondary character.

Men should NOT roleplay as women. Ever.

Maybe not to you.

Stop being such a stick in the mud. Do you really have nothing better to do than to pick apart every one of my ideas?

Haha, looks nice :-).
Zurk just misses 2k1, ignore him for now.

I so agree there. Last time I got into a discussion about this I was banned for offensive opinions. (which after a year or so I still havn't gotten over!)

Don't change your opinions for administrators.

Get a new account or secondary account.
Most people don't roleplay well enough for one character, much less a secondary one.

Actually, "one look systems" and "no secondary characters" are kind of... more valid in a roleplay perspective. By definition, roleplaying means that you play your role as if it were real life or a story, right? I don't know many people with multiple characters in real life. In fact, I'm told they usually put those kinds of people in straitjackets...
