Cool

I got a idea for a race. i didn;t thnk of a name with it.

A evolved version of the bomy, they are basically bomy birds but they look much different from birds and a little bit similar to bomy's, they get other special abilities like the bomys do to humans, but also have their weak points. for example, cant dive underwater well, and such. and they have to lean to fly in which they use up energy/magic to do so, and some places they can fly over.

Wow! That would be so cool!

Like, maybe the Bomys are actually larvae for some bigger race, that hatches from the Bomy into a dragon or something that looks like the Bomy "shell"...has the same eyes, same colors....that would kick some major butt!

Bird thingy's=good alingment

dragon thingy's=evil alingment

, now if this becomes official theni have to get one thing, someone who can make good gfx

Hmm, my Drakkara look very vaguely like hatched bomies. Especially if I changed their heads a bit.

Hatched Bomies = 0wntastic

If they take a year and a quest to hatch...

Drakkaras become Dragons (Maybe even the villainous PKer dragons mentioned elsewhere), Naifets become these amphibious creatures, maybe Xens become Aliens of some sort...

Maybe you have to spend a graalian year with one Bomy skin to get the upgrade?

Heck, maybe even one of them turns into a Zulithe or a Salei or a Zorbi....

I love that idea. Bomy birds and maybe some other type of bomy that goes around in an underwater world, UNDERwater, and they can come onto land but if they're on land to long their health will start to do down from drying out.

Oh, instead of 50 and up, 51 and up. And it would be funny, like, if a newbie picks a bomy and he sees all these Bomys with Wings he is like Wow! then he gets them and then he does some killing, his wings turn to black and then when he gets 50 ap he would be like "WHAT THE HELL?!@#!"

Hmm, we'd have to deal with players who want to evolve too, and then putting a time delay on certain races is a restrictive thing to do. Making your bomy pet hatch should probably take ages, but players should be able to do it with a simple quest.

But hey, the Drakkara isn't a type of bomy, it's a whole new race that could evolve from one. As soon as I find the time, I'll put an animated one in my sig (although this could be sped up if some kind soul offered to, uh, do it for me).

I like that... Your evolution depending on your AP is cool. We could have it less as an evolution thing and more like the bomy stage is just a crysalis, and the actual creature is growing inside. Then we'd have an excuse to make them evolve differently based on moods.

Indeed, the style of the races very much fits the AP divide. The Drakkara (whihc I plan to post here when they've been sufficiently polished and tested online) are obviously quite evil, whereas the Sal... *fumbles with his keyboard and fails to find the combination for the "æ" character* ...uh, flying thingies are seemingly quite nice guys. Plus this would let them suit their player's personalities. The *finds the keycode* Sælei would be for high-AP characters who don't want to PK, so it's easy for them to survive being attacked. The Drakkara are a fighter race so we make them less adept at, say, making money by making very few jobs for them, but to compensate we give them some sort of advantage in fighting (if we can balance it properly, of course).

The guys inbetween could be the Zulites, and then we've found a way to integrate all 3 new races into the world without major changes. Sounds good to me.

I was thinking of play choice, the player gets to choose wether they want thoes races, they are appeard and sterotyped as evila nd good, but no race is all evil, good or netrual. the players get to chose what they like and such and they can be good or evil if they want, they shouldn't be like they get pissed off at someone, kill them 'cause they come back, become (ap=<50) evil and evolve into somtin they didn't want.

yeah it should be down to what you pick coz say you chose to be a good bomy and bad player bomy comes and starts attackin you if you have to stay in the gold to evolve to the good how are you goin to defend your self are you just gonna let him attack you coz you want to be good and evolve and how are you goin to make the races availible to the exsistin players

or either that, but i was leaning towards the idea that a good evolved bomy may like the good looks of good and like it, and the abilities but no race is pure good, so that means if they want to be a good char abilities but be 'evil' they still can, they may just like the abilities or looks of the creatures

It would be nice if it took a REALLY long time, so it was like a reward for long time players.
Because we're all long time players of the 2001 server, I like the idea of giving long time players rewards.

ya, that would be cool, except maybe: bomys could have a born on date like budwieser did (im under 21 or 18 so dont think i drink it was just an advertisment thing) and every time on a bomys birthday it evolves or something, there could be a whole ceremony or something

I think that would be cool, but i think there should be some kind of randonymity factor (did i spell that right?) where if you are at like 52 you could get an evil one just by chance, and the hoigher you go up the lesser the chnce of things just happening
example 52 = 30% you could get an evil one
48 = 30% you could get a good one
99 = 0.5% you will get a evil one
and so on...

i know but i want the evolved bomy idea to go ways of far, and actually make it in the server, scince it will advance the game alot and such and people like it much (at least a little), but not much converse about the stuff on it

Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
My standing idea:
You play as a Bomy
When you get old enough, you go to the Cave of Testing, to prove your self (hard not to say prove your manhood, because that's essentially what it's based on...the Natives of almost every nation had at some point a way of proving a boy's ascention to manhood, since girls become women as soon as they hit their period in most of those cultures...pygmy's kill an elephant by spearing it from below and running, one culture would hook a kid under the ribs with a metal claw and spin them around a tree like a tetherball or something, mostly it's just here's some water, see you in a week...but I digress)
The Bomy goes to the Cave of Testing. The door opens when they have X years on them. They have to race through the rapids, kick through a maze, and duck through a rotating-blade walkway...
There, they reach a tiny platform atop a tall pillar, where a single shaft of light hits it...they have to choose which race they wish to evolve to: Zulite, Sælei, Drakkara, Zorbi, Baddie, Enkidian, whatever's ready. They choose with the dir keys, and they fade from one to the other. Kinda like how you can't tell if a cocoon holds a buttefly or a moth, you can't tell if one of those Dragon baddies is gonna be a Sælei or an Ambient's gonna be a Zulithe.

Or maybe some they don't hatch into, maybe some they transform into, or their spirit animates a statue, or something. Maybe each race has its own quest.
