Sanstrata

prozac424242 · #1 09-04-2002, 07:24 AM

A While back, Sanstrata -
a loved home to some, and a hacked up pit to to others-
was submited, and failed.

Donladshimoda, the one who submited it,
sent the levels to me.

After taking a look, and just over five printed pages
of what to fix later, I was interested in working on
Sanstrata again.
Ideas are bewing for actually finishing up the
initial plots with Gorkak and orb of light quests, Tribes,
some light rp (your charachter can learn any skill
but your personality will probably favor one in particlar,
but it is not limited).
System npc and level improevemnts are already
well underway.

Who remembers what it was?

Who thinks what it could be?

I have talked to many (dozen or more) online still
who would love Sanstrata back.
Don and I are of course aware that we keep
a small staff list, (Sans once had 35 staff, never again!)
and that who we select on staff is to
be taken with the utmost caution,
after it being taken down so long ago because
of staff arguing and hacking issues.

We want to do our best,
and when it goes in for review again,
it will be ready this time.,
will be at least a few more weeks tho.

npc, level, staff and player
all these areas i have learned much in..

What do you think?
Can it come back and be a fun server again?
I'm willing to do my best ...
and so is Don

btw here's a screeny ...
The word 'Sanstrata' at bottom of screen
is the staff message which scrolls along
and tells u of events and updates etc.
eherever you go ...
That light stuff in the upper left cycles over and over ..
difrent patterz.. itz kewl...
forum search for light jello to see others.
math for that npc by Sern, who is Sanstrata staff
and we are NOT hiring at this point

I only remember that I was hacked badly on it. =/

prozac424242 · #3 09-04-2002, 07:46 AM

do you remember being hacked anywhere else, or seeing other servers being hacked, around the time you got hacked on Sanstata? I dont think that problem was unique to sans...

Nope. I had been on Sanstrata for like, an hour. My Graal wasn't hacked, either, it was my comp, period. I never opened any weird files before hand, it was always the same thing everyday for me back then.

Log on.
Play Graal.
Eat.
Play Graal.
Sleep.

If you want to bring it back, be sure to bring back the old stuff. None of the new stuff.

I'd suggest re-naming it too.

prozac424242 · #7 09-04-2002, 09:14 AM

We plan on binging back a mix of the old stuff
and new stuff.

Both donaldshimoda and myself
are not planning on renaming it,

whats your reasoning behind that suggestion?

Sanstrata was not a popular server.

If people see it on the playerlist again, chances are that many of them wont bother to log on again, most will just go "Sanstrata OMI sux"

If your playerworld gets a bad reputation either from hackings, poor levels, bad reviews from the PWA, etc, then why don't you just use all these ideas to create a new playerworld with a new name? Why have your playerworld held down by the name "Sanstrata"?

prozac424242 · #10 09-04-2002, 09:36 AM

Where do these 'many' people come from that you ar refering to?
Most of the people I have talked to want sanstrata back.

It was an ugly catapillar,
it spun a web of havoc around itself,
its now in a coccon,
and shall when ready emergy a marvel to behold...
wait and see....

not in levels, or graphics, or npc wise, but player count. im askin how he plans to attract players away from oasis or gaia if say sanstrata got realised when oasis or another good server did.

Razor: I loved San I use to Work there I would love to see it come back no matter how it turns out good luck San

prozac424242 · #15 09-04-2002, 10:49 AM

How can i compete with oasis and gaia?

-i dont plan to compete.
I am working on sans, as is donshimoda,
for there to be a fun place to be.
If you like it, great,
if you dont, then leave,
if you cause trouble,
well you dont have to go home but you cant stay here.

-sans was on graal before.
ONLINE EXPERINCE. I got it. Do the ones you mentioned?

-Contreversy and Conflict.
Hear about conflict and goods and bads
with the servers you mentioned?
Or just the good stuff?
Watch the news on tv,
see any good happy fun stuff headlining?
rarely.

Im thinking, if it gets up, again, people
will log in and see what the fuss is about -
and be pleasantly suprised by the time
im done with it and its ready to review.
