Delteria

refinoheat2 · #1 05-27-2005, 12:45 PM

Many people left Delteria because either they thought staff were abusing (which many were) or they were lazy and nothing was being done besides more staff NPCs. DarSax and several other staff including myself have discussed this issue and we plan on doing serveral new things to bring Delt back to life. Classes, although they still need some work, are up and everyone seems to be enjoying them. I don't think Warrior is worknig yet so if you do try them out, that one probably won't work.

Some of the things I a hoping we can get together and do over the next few weeks is:

-Move things around so everything isn't just around Barion, this will help prevent so much bordom of being in the same place, and will cause players to explore more of the overworld.

-Work on staff, we will probably be hiring several new LATs, NATs, and GFXers so if anyone is interested in helpnig out I would suggest showing DarSax or Lil'Thief what you can do.

-Getting a working/better money system back up

-Stopping the building of so many staff NPCs and making more Player NPCs so they can enjoy the new things on Delt as well.

-Get new houses/guild houses uploaded, the reason several guilds don't make it on Delt is because the staff never really bothered to help guild there guild stuff uploaded, until now.

For more information you can contact me at, [email protected], or my aim which is , SelticHunter. Those are only a few things that we will be doing to improve Delteria and bring it back as one of the better Classic PlayerWorlds.

Note: I was planning on organizing our team of LATs, NATs, and GFXers all this weekend and working on it, bt because of buisness I will be unable to do so. Thus, I will probably begin the overworld construction next weekend and once we move that around and get the warp stations set up, I will begin on everything else and assign jobs to those who are willing/wanting to help.

So, you're just posting updates? ;o

refinoheat2 · #3 05-27-2005, 12:56 PM

Basically yes, and I will probably add them as they are completed, I have got a much longer list of everything that needs to be done, and I plan on completign them all, it will just take some time and some help. We have got the staff willing to help now though, just from the classes going up we have seen an increase in PlayerCount... They seem to like the classes but I do think they are going to have to have a little more power limititations because you can you the powers almost every few seconds so it creates a lot of lag, I think we need to limit the amount of times you can use it before the mp gets to low and needs refilling, so there isn't so much lag in all the levels.

refinoheat2 · #4 05-27-2005, 01:10 PM

Note: Another big thing being worked on is a server quest thing, were a lor of the server will have to be involved in hopes to complete it. That should be pretty cool. It will give people something to do with friends.

Chris · #5 05-27-2005, 05:38 PM

Sorry, but classes on Delteria isn't something new and exciting. Delteria used to be nothing but classes (probably before most current staff/players).

More levels and guild houses probably wouldn't help. Develop on the current content and expand. Just making a big friggen overworld is kind of useless. Everyone usually stays in one place after finishing quests. I suggest you guys scrap the current quests and develop new ones. Or continue with the current ones and add a story line possibly? Not sure.

Delteria is one of the first servers I played when I started like 5 years ago. I remember all the class npcs and noobies.. So fun.

Edit: I see you post above mine. You can ignore some of my post.

delteria is a boring as hell, what do you expect?

If you have nothing good to say, then at least say it politely and support your claim. If you want to insult someone or an organization, it would be perferred of you to proclaim it in a more critical way.

Example:
I don't find Delteria interesting because... The health bar is old fashioned and is rather repulsive. (This was an example. I don't know Delteria enough to actually judge it.)

For On-Topic:
Seems like you're starting to pull up your sleeves and work.

It's quite refreshing to hear some updates around Graal from the players.

I can state my opinions the way I want to, whether they are positive or negative.

Malinko · #10 05-27-2005, 08:30 PM

Delteria has plenty of space. Just need to use it.

Not sure about the activity of the playerworld, though it could be really nice if all the developers around there worked together. Some of the best I've seen, that's for sure.

Good luck!

Hiro · #11 05-27-2005, 09:50 PM

Last time I signed onto Delteria, I sparred Tortoise and beat him four times in a row. Then I was banned for hacking.

Good Job.

Delteria = corrupt. Get rid of that and players will come back.

refinoheat2 · #12 05-27-2005, 10:42 PM

Tort is gone, he was very abusive and I would agree, he should not be staff. He really doesn't have a right to ban people for hacknig since he does it all the time and has had several p2ps banned for it. That is exactly what we are trying to stop and clear up.

As for "Delteria being as boring as Hell"

right now, as a player and a staff member I would agree with you, that is exactly why I want to complete these things to improve it.

Unban me and I'll play again. A player helped is a player saved.

Classes would help though - running around as a wolf is fun.

refinoheat2 · #14 05-28-2005, 03:10 AM

Account Hiro? I will check on it and see what it is banned for. We do need more players, but I will not unban people if they should be banned.

"Speed Hacking"

refinoheat2 · #16 05-28-2005, 07:09 AM

Alright, when I get my RC, should be set up tomorrow but will be gone until Monday, I will check into it.

Edit: btw if anyone is interested, tomorrow Delteria is having a server war (p2p and trials). Players will be automatically seperated into two teams and at the end of it, the winning team will recieve a custom NPC. I will not be able to make it but it is going to start around 3:30 PM (eastern time zone) If this is a success we will probably do it once a week or so each time I am guessing you will recieve a new and exciting NPC. Hope you can make it.

Edit2: Suo was the one that banned you, he doesn't abuse, he mistaked lag for speed hacking. (Or atleast the way he described it sounds like it). You're now unbanned, hope to see you back.

xAndrewx · #17 05-28-2005, 08:19 AM

Make a speed hack detection.

refinoheat2 · #18 05-28-2005, 02:22 PM

1) We have a hacking/illegal actions detection, it disconnects you and notifies staff by ways of RC.

2) Even if the trials can't keep it, a lot of them play for a few hours at a time giving them atleast a few hours to have fun with it. Tupper always comes up with pretty cool NPCs, I doubt this will be different.

Inferior! Right Smake?

refinoheat2 · #20 06-01-2005, 01:41 PM

Alright I am back and have RC, I will be talkgni with Lil and DS this weekend about leveling and updates... I heard the war last weekend went well and the NPC turned out to be some sort of roll NPC that you ram into people/things... (Atleast thats what Tup told me).

This weekend I will begin some of those things I told you about and if all goes well I will post again.

refinoheat2 · #21 06-07-2005, 09:14 PM

Well anyways, Delteria Update:

A few days ok we all sat down and basically decided on what we want to get done first... We decided on a new overworld. But not only will it include that, it will include some new things to Delt that will actually make money useful and give people something to do. No Matter how boring I find it

I believe it is going to have mining and possibly fishing... GFXers, and Scripters are working on that. Meanwhile, we have two possible choices for Delt's new overworld/tile set. One is already done but could use a few adjustments since it was made awhile ago... The other one is being built. (This is the one we will probably end up using since he has been planning everything out for a long time...). Once that is done I guess we will decide which we like better. I hope it won't be to far from now, depending on how helpful our staff are... Since it is summer for many there is more time to work so I don't think it should be to long before we have the second one done. I will continue to post updates, although many of you might not care o_O

Mykel · #22 06-08-2005, 03:58 AM

I've been on the inside of Delterian re-makes before, and something has happened, and it always seems to be lost. I hope this has a much better end result.

LilNiglet · #23 06-08-2005, 05:50 AM

This time it will get done. I am personally getting behind the entire movement and jabbing it in the back until it keeps moving. This will get done.

Anyways, we're working on the new overworld first. Almost nothing else will be developed while we're working on the new overworld, so I hope to have this done within the month. When the main layout is done, then we will spend a good time detailing the world. We've also decided that even though a large overworld is nice, cities is what needs the most attention. So, in that train of thought, cities will be VERY large. There will be a very distinct seperation between wilderness and urban areas.

I can't think of what more to type, so I'll leave that for when I have more information. I'll have a map up within a few days of what we plan to do.

Crono · #24 06-08-2005, 11:58 AM

Another new overworld

?

It better give graal a kick in the nuts like the old one did when it first came out back in 2002.

If you don't have constructive criticism to add to the thread, please leave

Anyways, progress is going pretty well. The overworld plans are well on their way to being finished, and the classes are slowly but surely being smoothed over.

Oh so if I don't have constructive criticism to add to the thread I can't post? Might as well say the same to everyone else? What I said was constructive enough, let me translate for you-

Make the new overworld kickass like the last one that came out in 2002 or be prepared for another failed server upgrade.

Y'know, I almost hate to say it(dunno why...) but he's right tup. What he said was... constructive, in a way. I mean, hes saying, dont just take some places and schlop them into a different spot, make it real cool and awesome and such and so forth. That was constructive.
Anyways, did you not see the

at the end of the post speaking about how the new OW should be sweet?

Besides, telling someone to leave a thread because they can't add constructive criticism is like saying you can't change a light bulb if it doesn't work because that isn't constructive criticism is it?.

(This quote ass-kicking works better when someone asks you "Can you do any better?" when you criticize something. Those people should not be allowed to change lamps because they can't shine better.)

Malinko · #29 06-08-2005, 03:58 PM

Oh! Delteria in progress?!

I can't wait to see!

Good luck!

LilNiglet · #30 06-09-2005, 06:29 AM

Ok, a few people want to see the new map, so I'll attach a VERY basic, VERY PRELIMINARY version of it. I used a program called AutoREALM to make this, I don't have a link atm.

refinoheat2 · #31 06-10-2005, 02:53 PM

Tup is that the one you are making or LT?

Edit: Glad to hear it will hopefully go up this month, and the city things sounds like it will probably be better then just spreading everything out... So any help you need or LT, just as, if not I will probably just be messing around with my house or doing GP job...

Fogles · #32 06-10-2005, 03:17 PM

Refino i think your wrong on the GFX Hirings, I've already have tried out, i made it BUT DarSax told me he didn't want more GFXers, si i doon't know whats going on.

a new OW would be very interesting for Delteria, seeing as how the old one is purty boring..
Too bad I won't. Be. Around. To. See. It. *points very rude finger at Alex* *

refinoheat2 · #35 06-11-2005, 08:19 AM

Yes I am not Refino I am Seltic (don't ask about the account, long story).

Anyways, w/e we have some good Dev staff so I would expect only the best out of this new overworld.... Btw, I think LT said he wasn't hiring anymore GFXers... But Melon will be fired soon so then maybe he will be. Right now I think we are hiring NATs and LATs.

Edit: You can check the Delt hiring information which is right above the osl... There is a flag that says hiring or something like that so easy to see just go straight up.

xAndrewx · #36 06-11-2005, 09:42 AM

The Delteria map looks good. Don't change it.

refinoheat2 · #37 06-11-2005, 03:41 PM

I actually like the current Delt map, and wouldn't mind leaving it and just changing the format & making new levels... But, either way I think it will be fore the better, Delt needs something new that kickass... And that map tup posted... It is a very simple form of what is really going up.

Yeh, but the old delt is ok, and whats with the "Devar'Toi tower or whatever? I went to an NPC by it and he said to bring him a black rock. UNFAIRNESS! You cant get l3 glove on delt! (can you?).
must figure this madness out before the change!

RefinoheaT · #39 06-12-2005, 06:02 AM

Delterian Staff constantly ask MHX to return to Delteria. Many of them realize that when we left, it hurt

In case any of you people do not know about the situation reguarding MHX leaving Delteria, we were constantly harassed by the staff and both graal rules and federal rules were broken against us. MHX refuses to go on Delteria, and it has obviously hurt them. It's kinda funny to listen to their staff ask me if we will come back when the know fully well the abuse that we took while we were there.

Simply Pathetic.

-Refino

Dreth · #40 06-12-2005, 02:44 PM

Well, all fine and good for you, but you realize if you DID come back, MHX would be taking over staff in no time. There are like, 8,000 billion of you people, and theres almost always someone hiring. You could take over delt in no time. And people who abuse you guys just lack a brain or something. I for one always liked you guys
