The Plot

2011-08-01T00:13:57Z

Brazil: /* SubClasses */

= Characters / Misc =
* make usable commands listed on character?
** possibly stupid
** would mean adding socials
** auto-add skill commands
** eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
** cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
* Do something with email address (optional)
** Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
* Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
* Autoauction system
* <s>Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item</s> - DONE
* (re)implement MSP
* FreeTrade system
** Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
** Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
** Transports can be hijacked
** Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
** Crafting skills
*** Potion recipies
*** Armor construction
*** Clothing construction
*** Food (cooking)
*** Enchantments to improve items
** Transport on boats
* People can carry people
* Items carry people (pokeballs!)
* Experience
** group bonus (based on group size?)

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
* Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

== Newbie Guild ==
* -- just a random idea
* Max level of 10

== Professions ==
* Guild level gains
* Requires registration to gain crafting skills (join guild)
* Limited numbers of guilds you can join
* Leave guild, skills not granted from other guilds slowly go down until 0
* Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)
* Build guild houses
* May have to join guild again in alternate plane to get benefits there
* Plane restrictions only matter in material planes

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Natural resistances / weaknesses:

Perm Affects:

Regen: (hp/mana/moves/psp)

...
Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

*Harm
*Herbal Enhancements

*Lifekeeping
*Major Healing
*Nature's Strength
*Nature's Tongues
*Neutralize Poison-
*Restoration
*Summon Animal-maybe based on align whether they can do this or not and what they can summon?

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

Brazil: /* SpellCaster */

= Characters / Misc =
* make usable commands listed on character?
** possibly stupid
** would mean adding socials
** auto-add skill commands
** eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
** cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
* Do something with email address (optional)
** Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
* Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
* Autoauction system
* <s>Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item</s> - DONE
* (re)implement MSP
* FreeTrade system
** Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
** Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
** Transports can be hijacked
** Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
** Crafting skills
*** Potion recipies
*** Armor construction
*** Clothing construction
*** Food (cooking)
*** Enchantments to improve items
** Transport on boats
* People can carry people
* Items carry people (pokeballs!)
* Experience
** group bonus (based on group size?)

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
* Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

* Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)

* Plane restrictions only matter in material planes

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

* Jagang: I think the more you make the Eq player involved, as far as crafting and having unique eq all over , is that much better for the mud

Brazil:

I've been brainstorming this todo list on my PDA (yes, I have a smartphone AND still use a PDA for some things).

What does it mean? Big changes are coming, and we need to figure out what they are. Also, I think it might mean that, for at least a time (months? years?), we will have two muds running.

There's a lot more detail to go with these for implementation, these are just the general bullets (not that any of this is set in stone).

* Axe Wizard
* Axe Priest
* Axe Memorize and pray
* Turn all classes into a guild (allows true multi-class, and all classes use guild code)
* Pick main guild on create (primary classes, sorc, war, etc)
* Decide what to do about remorting, and making lost bonus' attainable else wise
* Web page for creating a character (all graphical and fancy)
* Drop max level of 'primary guilds' to 30 (everything max level 30)
* Create more guilds to give skills/ spells that would be lost by level drop
* Return old damage exp calculations
* ability to restrict eq by guild
* Major web site content update (whole site needs revamp, but our content alone sucks it)
* Clashing guilds (can't be that guild if you're in this one)
* More stuff with housing (vague)
* Taxes on player housing
* Player built towns, higher taxes, shops, etc
* More web site integration, instead of in-game help
* Wiki to put all skill data?
* Turn races into guilds (more code consolidation primarily)
* Hometown Bonus'
* Multiple race guild memberships for half-breeds
* More cohesive world (what does that mean?)
* Vehicles (mounts, carriages)
* More sophisticated player bs, like marriage

The Plot

2011-06-29T18:15:02Z

Brazil: /* Planeshifter */

= Characters / Misc =
* make usable commands listed on character?
** possibly stupid
** would mean adding socials
** auto-add skill commands
** eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
** cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
* Do something with email address (optional)
** Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
* Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
* Autoauction system
* <s>Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item</s> - DONE
* (re)implement MSP
* FreeTrade system
** Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
** Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
** Transports can be hijacked
** Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
** Crafting skills
*** Potion recipies
*** Armor construction
*** Clothing construction
*** Food (cooking)
*** Enchantments to improve items
** Transport on boats
* People can carry people
* Items carry people (pokeballs!)
* Experience
** group bonus (based on group size?)

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
* Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

== Newbie Guide ==
* scripted

== Assemble ==
* method to specify parts w/combine, instead of naming finished product, player names parts to put together
* allows multiple recipies for same item
* (crafting)
* Flag on each recipe for what crafting skill(s) are associated with recipe
** Cooking, alchemy, etc
* move assembles to their own list, instead of attached to finished object

= PK System =
* Designated PK areas
* Attackers flagged as killer
** timer based on amount of killing done
** does not count down in rent? (or multiplier)

= Clans =
* Wars: clan vs clan, clan vs npc, clan vs ???)
* PK Element
* Castle, contained somewhere in the world
* Conquest (points involved)
* Hometown benefits (???)
* Build a town
** allow others to inhabit
** allow guilds to open
** shops
** taxes from shops and stuff go to clan

= Guilds =

* Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

= Characters / Misc =
* make usable commands listed on character?

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
* Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

=== Herbalist ===

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

*Harm
*Herbal Enhancements

*Lifekeeping
*Major Healing
*Nature's Strength
*Nature's Tongues
*Neutralize Poison-
*Restoration
*Summon Animal-maybe based on align whether they can do this or not and what they can summon?

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

something to look at later

http://www.lysator.liu.se/mud/questdesign.html

Things going on:

* Everything in [[The Plot]] is pretty much something that could be done eventually.
* <s>Necro revamp</s>
* "[[Scrollmaker]]" profession
* Wizard redesign
* Priest redesign
* Expand planes
* Re-open ruined Midgaard
* [[Chronomancer]] sub-class

Things I want done, but I'm already doing too much
* More Guild designs
* Discussions with players to get feedback on things the like / dislike, and would love to see go, or added.
* The whole Clan concept needs revisited, and new features / ideas for them designed, so that we can revive them (clan towns anyone can rent in (for a fee?), whatever, go nuts)
* Design Kenetic Knight
* Design Bard
* Design Assassin
* Design Professions... Alchemy, Leather worker, blacksmith, etc... there's a list on [[The Plot]] page
* Lots of overall mud design ideas that I need to run past people...

* Create potions using ingredients
* how are ingredients stored?
* Gardens in player house
* gardens in the world
* foraging code is done
* list spells
* determine ingredients for each spell
* shops can sell some ingredients
* Ingredients in the bazaar
* Ingredients save on shops over reboot?
* Flag for brew on skill
* plan ingredients around the mud
* Ingredient containers with item limit, no weight

Alchemy Ideas:

Oiled Bowstring(string for one bow)
*Cold Fire(torch or flask)-a cold flame that does not burn what it touches and is only used for light.
*Elven Wine(one bottle-when drunk my elves grants a plus to fortitude, but when by non-elves instant drunkness for a long time.
*Ironwood balm(flask, one use)-when applied to a wooden staff it strengthens it making it a harden weapon, turning it to "steel" giving it a bonus of some type to show it's power increase.
*Fey Spirits(one bottle-when elves drink it they are granted a fey type of gift (decided later) but when non-elves drink it they hallucinate.
*Chameleon Paint(flask, one application-applied to the face (looses wear position) but grants a limited hide.
*Glow Wand(1 stick)-um duh
*Faerie Dust(bag)-Must be thrown on a mob right away and makes a large explosion within a set time or else player will take damage from holding it too long after activating it.
*Bottled Mist(jug, one use)-when thrown into the air outdoors it causes a fog to develop hiding all players from mob's view. (think the fog in nightmare before x-mas)
*Gossamer Thread(per garment-secret thread, spun from a mix of spider's web and beams of moonlight, prime materials for cloaks of elvenkind, grants some kind of bonus since it is hard to create/come by.
*Liquid Light(vial, 6 doses)-crytal clear substance that grants light when it comes in contact with exterior air, every hour uses one dose in the container, if thrown on a mob it does no damage but grants +1 hitroll to player.
*Spidersilk (glue)(120 ft)-originally a Drow invention, is an adhesive in a stringy form and can be thrown on mobs to keep them from fleeing.
*Sleeping Mist(jug, one use)-Same as bottled mist but puts mobs to sleep as well.
*Naphtha(flask)-can only be used underground, is a fire substance and cannot be put out till it dies on it's own. 1d6 damage to ALL people standing there, lasts 1d6 rounds.

Newbie Experience

2011-01-15T01:51:30Z

Brazil:

Trying to turn this into instructions on what we want to do with The Newbie Experience.

(first section removed (for now))

= Newbie Simulation =
* The idea is to show them what Addict is about. Give them a taste of what makes us unique, as well as important information to help them play on their own.

== The Details ==

A simulation experience for newbies that want to see what things look like on Addict when your characters are higher level.

Create a special mob for every class (to start, this could work with just a generic "Cleric", "Fighter", and "Spell caster").

When they enter the game as new players, explicitly present instructions for those wishing to participate in the experience (aimed at people who have Mudded before, which, as I mentioned before, I believe is the majority of all our new players).

Similar to the immortal switch command (as I understand it), the new player will have the ability to step into the shoes of a high level * (where * is a class, or one of the generalization I mentioned earlier), whereupon he will be able to access all the skills that particular class is given.

To complement this, we will need to create a special "Arena", filled with mobs to challenge high level characters of the specific classes. Of course, there will need to be abundant documentation and clear instructions for new players as to where and what skills/spells they might want to try out on their adversaries. The idea behind this is to give new players a preview of what kind of skills and spells will be available to them as they reach the higher levels in certain classes. I feel like this is something that does not become very clear, even to long time players, until they have invested a significant amount of time into the game. If we provide such a simulation, I feel like the retention rate for new players could increase significantly.

There are certainly issues with this kind of system. There need to be extensive checks in the system to prevent current high level players from exploiting the simulation. Specifically, "simulated" sorcerers, for example, should not be able to teleport out of the arena and be used elsewhere, etc...you get the idea.

Equipment: Obviously, game play is often heavily influenced by a character's equipment set. I vaguely propose that these "simulation" mobs be outfitted with a (as Garg suggested, !MORT) set of equipment that, in our best judgment, represents the "average" set of equipment of a character of that class.

Inexperience: Ok...so we let you assume the body of a level 65 Ninja...now what? Well, I suggest we draft a set of instructions for each class, or whatever subdivision is chosen, that suggests skills that you might want to try out, how they work, and possible combinations with other classes, since we offer multiplay. Furthermore, we can conjure up some mobs that are specifically (and obviously) weak to certain attacks, and immune (or almost immune) to others. We can clearly explain this to new players either via the class guide mentioned before or through very clear mob and/or room descriptions.

Anyway, all ambitious ideas. In my opinion, though, definitely worth pondering. Let's face it, we are in an era where interest in MUDs is dwindling and the community is not likely to increase in size anytime soon. So, the few players we get, lets make our best effort to show them what Addict is really about and keep them on board for countless hours of fun, mindless killing ;)

Please post comments, suggestions, etc. as you see fit!

Brazil: New page: As discussed previously, the basic ideas are as follows: 1. Make the MUD more visible on sites such as mudconnector.com (if anyone knows other similar sites, please add them). My ideas: -...

As discussed previously, the basic ideas are as follows:

1. Make the MUD more visible on sites such as mudconnector.com (if anyone knows other similar sites, please add them). My ideas:
- Offer rewards for thoughtful reviews on mudconnector (I think qps will do just fine)
- Coordinate a mud-wide voting (week?) to increase Addict's visibility on the site (also possible rewards for mortals, although tracking this would be hard/impossible).
- I would be willing to conduct the "PR campaign", as Brazil called it, for this effort
- BUT, before this happens, I propose we spruce up the "newbie experience"

Here's how (please add your ideas too):

- A "simulation" for new players. The idea is as follows. Most new players that connect to Addict already have experience with MUDs. They are looking for a new experience that somehow stands out from other what they have played before. Our newbie zone is all good and fine. But, in this day and age, newbie zones are really just a necessity for every MUD. We need to show players what Addict has to offer without relying on 1. Older players guiding them through the game and trying to explain it. 2. Showering them with EQ and leveling their characters in the hope that they stick around.

As one player pointed out to me, too much help can be just as bad as not enough help. Example: you help a newbie level his new warrior to 15, then graciously donate a set of Titan eq to him. He comes back one time, sees that leveling in the real world (ie mob museum, MAYBE addict academy) is not as easy as having a level 65 cleric follow you. He loses interest in the game.

Although I maintain the stance that pretty much all of our players are very welcoming and helpful to newbies, we need to make the complete newbie experience more independent of any interaction with current players.

Idea 1: Simulation. In short, a simulation experience for newbies that want to see what things look like on Addict when your characters are higher level. Specifics: Create a special mob for every class (to start, this could work with just a generic "Cleric", "Fighter", and "Spellcaster"). When they enter the game as new players, explicitly present instructions for those wishing to participate in the experience (aimed at people who have Mudded before, which, as I mentioned before, I believe is the majority of all our new players). Similar to the immortal switch command (as I understand it), the new player will have the ability to step into the shoes of a high level * (where * is a class, or one of the generalization I mentioned earlier), whereupon he will be able to access all the skills that particular class is given.

2011-01-05T13:57:36Z

Brazil: /* random thought */ new section

Some things to consider:

* Do we want to make all spells scrollable?
** Things like lloyds beacon, which is remort only; other specialized types of spells like timefold; high powered spells like Word of Souls, Burrowing Digits, etc.
** We dont want to make certain classes obsolete by turning them into scrollmakers only, and having players blast away at everything with a fully scrolled up psi or ninja.

* This obviously would have the potential for "botting" issues, so we'd have to be on the lookout for that.

* I do kind of like the idea of having the limited abiltiy to create "grant" scrolls.. that's something we really haven't done enough with.

* Is there going to be some kind of time penalty to scribe? Or just mana penalties? The mana penalties might not be all that steep, with elven mages having up over 1300 mana, and zealous regen as well. Something to consider...

== limitations ==

I would love to hear more ideas on limitations because the mana regen.

I've been putting thought into it, but I haven't been able to come up with anything I like. Including more components, like a quill and inkwell, which eventually runs out, but I wasn't sure if that wasn't just more annoying that useful.

I'm with you on psionicists. I didn't want to immediately discount them until someone else gave feedback, in case I was crazy.

Did you have thoughts on what spells to limit? Now that I think about psi's, the normal OLC code I think limits almost all PSI spells from being put on scrolls, so allowing psi's to be scrollmaker's would be useless.

Brazil.

----

Hmm.. well, currently with wizards being the only class that can scribe.. the only limitation is time. Specifically the time it takes to memorize a spell. The actual scribing of the spell is virtually instantaneous. By changing the scribe system to a mana-style system, we lose that automatic time sink that memorize gave us. Even without a mana regen hit, a 1,000 mana sorc with 30% cast cost (I dont have the mud open, so i'm going to assume haste is 30 mana after cast cost) could make 30 haste scrolls almost instantly.

So from a time standpoint, what if the limitation was related to the mana cost of the spell? So a 10 mana spell like detect invisible, could be scribed in 1 second. But a 30 mana spell might take 5 seconds. A 75 mana spell might take 30 seconds. etc, etc... (i'd almost look at the mem times of similar spells as a basis for the timing, and adjust from there)

I think that limiting some of necro's spells would be good - especially the polymorph type ones (as well as sorc's polymorph - which i doubt would even be scribable...).

== time ==

hmm, the instantaneous scribing is potentially a problem. But what kind of affect do you think the 200% mana regen penalty will have on that?

Maybe it should be more like chaos and the nuke spells, where mana is drained to power the shield. We drain the mana into the scroll over the course of X number of seconds, based on the mana cost (or what the mem-time would be?)

BTW- sorcerer poly can't be on a scroll because you can't pass arguments with a scroll, which is required to specify what you want to poly into. The necro poly's COULD be scrolls since they are one form per spell, but I don't think I allowed that (I'll double check).

Thoughts?

Brazil.

== random thought ==

In Oblivion, if you join the mage guild (forget what it's called), you gain access to create your own spells. They cost something, but you basically get the ability to customize your own spells based on affects of spells you already know. We could eventually work that in as a sub-class, that requires you be a master Scrollmaker, and make all of such created spells as scrolls only. Scribe times based on the power of the spell (assigned at creation of the spell).

Ideas from Grail...

Here are some ideas:
* Spells that can *only* be cast by reading scrolls, so they would have to be scribed first
* Scribing multiple spells per scroll; maybe implement a couple different scrolls with different "capacities" for how many spells they can hold
** That last one i think could actually be pretty cool because people could make custom scrolls,
** IE: haste, magical burst, aid or whatever
** as in all 3 spells on one scroll, for an instant boost of all 3
** The other benefit this would give is that scrolls could contain spells from several different classes
** I think that would actually make the whole idea more interesting, because people could experiment with some cool combo scrolls
* Quests or other means to learn spells that can also only be used when scribed on a scroll
* Make scribing time/success dependent on wisdom, room type (IE quiet or soundproof would cause better concentration)
* Extension to spell combos: have some spells produce an extra effect when they are scribed on the same scroll, but don't make these apparent
* Also possibly have that based on the order they need to be scribed in, so we could plant notes around the mud that hint at interesting spell combos for scrolls

For individuals (non-clan members)...

* Pick some zones...
* Each zone have a "token" randomly load. The token is tied to that zone.
* When turning in tokens, depending on some factor (random, or number of tokens), an individual will get spelled up with something convenient (infra?), or maybe get some spell grants, etc

For clannies...

* Pick some zones
* Assign a spell (perm affect, or temporary have the ability to cast, something like that)
* Again with the tokens loading, and turning them in
* The clan that turns the most tokens in, owns the zone
* As long as the clan owns the zone, they get benefits like the ability to cast a spell or a perm affect
* Every hour (6 hours? 12 hours? 24 hours?) the tokens turned in are checked, whatever clans turns in the most tokens in that time frame becomes the new owner.
* Owning clan remains owner until another clan beats them.

Other notes:

* tokens could be random loads on mobs
* could have the "value" of the tokens depend on the difficulty of the mob

Not sure if Tyrone County is truly done .. I think I walked through it some time ago and was pretty underwhelmed...

Also, Smurf Village is close - but I've been away from it for a long time, so I'd need to run through and see what left needs to be done - I know most of the mobs and rooms are complete at least.

Pulled some crap and all of the Ravenloft zones.

The Plot

2010-11-04T00:46:43Z

Brazil: /* SubClasses */

= Characters / Misc =
* make usable commands listed on character?
** possibly stupid
** would mean adding socials
** auto-add skill commands
** eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
** cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
* Do something with email address (optional)
** Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
* Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
* Autoauction system
* <s>Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item</s> - DONE
* (re)implement MSP
* FreeTrade system
** Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
** Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
** Transports can be hijacked
** Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
** Crafting skills
*** Potion recipies
*** Armor construction
*** Clothing construction
*** Food (cooking)
*** Enchantments to improve items
** Transport on boats
* People can carry people
* Items carry people (pokeballs!)
* Experience
** group bonus (based on group size?)

* Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
* Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
* Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
* Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
* Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
* Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
* Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
* Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
* Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
* Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
* Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
* Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

* Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
* Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
* Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
* Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
* Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
* Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

== Newbie Guide ==

* allows multiple recipies for same item

== Professions ==
* Guild level gains
* Requires registration to gain crafting skills (join guild)
* Limited numbers of guilds you can join
* Leave guild, skills not granted from other guilds slowly go down until 0
* Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)
* Build guild houses
* May have to join guild again in alternate plane to get benefits there
* Plane restrictions only matter in material planes

* Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
* Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

=== Mapper ===
Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side
-tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials

Misc:
*Would only be female (maybe)
*Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
*Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.
...
Ideas:
* Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie
herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

*Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

* Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

* Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

*Lifekeeping
*Major Healing
*Nature's Strength
*Nature's Tongues
*Neutralize Poison-

*Summon Animal-maybe based on align whether they can do this or not and what they can summon?

Level Name Description
0 xx xx

=== Witch (random name) ===
thinking last night (about a book)... thought I'd put it out there... a class
that has a MAJOR amount of mana... like say, 1,000,000 mana... but it will
never regen... they can't memorize, they get no grants... when they get to
0 mana, they cannot cast spells anymore... we could add diff things, like
quests that will regen some mana, and they will get things like castcost
remort option to make their mana last longer... and when they remort, what
level they remort as will determine how much mana they get back.. like if
their max is 1m, they have to get to level 65 to get that 1m regen'd (or
maybe only 800k)... if they remort at level 31, they only get 200k mana.

I kind of consider that this could be a sub-class that could be bolted on to any spell casting class... but resigning from it could only be done if you remort multiple times at 65, or something difficult that needs to be done...

random thoughts... would need a lot of thought before actually implementing...

Brazil: /* Orbs */ new section

<pre>
addictmud: sheesh
addictmud: he called to ask me to look at some document at some point tonight and check it for technical accuracy before he sends it to a customer
addictmud: and it turned into a long chat session
addictmud: thankfully it wasn't anythign bad directed at me
nynaeve2469: that's good
nynaeve2469: so like hi
addictmud: hehe, hi love
addictmud: how are you feeling?
addictmud: how's your head?
nynaeve2469: it's ok
addictmud: what trouble are you into?
nynaeve2469: i was working on american history homework while you were out
addictmud: aHH
addictmud: did you see the class: cleric page?
nynaeve2469: yeah it doesn't mean alot to me
addictmud: oh
nynaeve2469: i dont understand alot of it
nynaeve2469: i know what the spells are
nynaeve2469: i know what the mana cost to cast the spells are
nynaeve2469: i dont get alot of the rest
addictmud: oh, ok
addictmud: more pages of info i'll just add, hehe
addictmud: did you look at the formulas link? the man forumla is in there
nynaeve2469: yes i did
addictmud: mana
nynaeve2469: but i don't understand it
addictmud: hmm
addictmud: well, bring it up, I'll try to explain
nynaeve2469: i'm looking at the cleric page
addictmud: go to the formulas
nynaeve2469: ok
addictmud: ok, for clerics, their mana base is 10
addictmud: the first thing we do is take that 10, and look at their race
nynaeve2469: how does one know their base is 10?
nynaeve2469: it says it
addictmud: players don't know these numbers
nynaeve2469: i see that on the other page
addictmud: right
nynaeve2469: right i know players dont know that
addictmud: so if the cleric is a dwarf, we subtract 1/4th from their mana base
nynaeve2469: ok
addictmud: 10/4 is like 2.5... so 2 gets subtracted
addictmud: if it's an elf, we add 1/2 to make it 15 instead
nynaeve2469: ok
nynaeve2469: now i get it
addictmud: oh :-)
nynaeve2469: ok now that makes sense to me
addictmud: I knew you'd get it
nynaeve2469: ok so what exactly are we to do with these pages?
addictmud: well, first off, i'm not sure if everything is there
addictmud: of course, I need to put in all the numbers for all the spells (damage, etc)
nynaeve2469: ok
addictmud: but I dunno if I've missed anything else
addictmud: but the idea is to get a real look at what each of the classes actually are, how strong their skills are, etc
nynaeve2469: in other words something to let you and gargs play with
addictmud: and see where we need to start making changes... update these pages to the final product, then implement it all at once
addictmud: something told me it would be mostly him and I :P
addictmud: so I had an idea for the imperial orb I wanted to pass around
nynaeve2469: i dont know much of this
nynaeve2469: ok
addictmud: well, we've talked about mucking things a bit so mana pools are a factor again
nynaeve2469: right
addictmud: so what if, as part of that, we had the orbs do their own absorbtion from the mana pools
nynaeve2469: well we had talked about having a quest for a "better" orb
addictmud: and then we can say, if they run out of mana, they'll drain the orb like a recepticaly
addictmud: -y
nynaeve2469: that's a neat idea
addictmud: but! they wouldn't nessairly want that, because an orb would affect the strength of their spells based on how much mana it had stored up
nynaeve2469: go on
addictmud: like say
addictmud: for example, the max an orb could hold was 100 mana
addictmud: every 5 seconds it would take 1 mana from the pool to charge itself
nynaeve2469: ok
addictmud: the more mana it had stored up, the say... longer duration a spell would have... or armor would be stronger... or harm would do more damage
nynaeve2469: ok so the down side?
addictmud: but each cast of a spell would also have a chance of draining one mana from the orb because it's being depleted to give that strength
addictmud: but say, a 100 mana full orb would give harm a bigger boost then if it had 3 mana
nynaeve2469: hmmm
addictmud: and if they run out of mana, it would start draining the orb to cast their spells
addictmud: but without the bonus'... and possibly a penalty when you started using the orb mana directly
nynaeve2469: we should give it more tho9ught then
addictmud: 100 is just an arbatrary number to make the example simple
nynaeve2469: right
addictmud: and maybe have it so they have to hold the orb in order for it to be able to charge up
addictmud: and the longer they don't have it equipped, it startes to bleed off any stored mana
nynaeve2469: i still think the orb needs to be a floating nearby
nynaeve2469: that's what it is
addictmud: like your body acts as the conduit to the earth to build up it's charge
nynaeve2469: i like the idea
addictmud: it is?
nynaeve2469: yeah in the books the orb circles Zerika's head
nynaeve2469: remember we talked about it
addictmud: oh i see what you mean
addictmud: I really always envisoned lights as floating over your head, so :P
nynaeve2469: yeah well
addictmud: philo stone, imperial orb... platinum orb, etc
addictmud: all these years I pictured them floating around your head, hehe
nynaeve2469: the imp orb defintely
addictmud: those M:TG Unhinged... does anyone actually play a game with them? hehe
nynaeve2469: oh yeah
nynaeve2469: i used to have them in my decks
addictmud: that's sweet
nynaeve2469: so i have ideas perking
addictmud: I was just looking at one, it has a colorless mana cost of 1,000,000
nynaeve2469: hehehe
nynaeve2469: yeah
addictmud: what kind of ideas?
nynaeve2469: i like that idea of sorc to blah to blah
nynaeve2469: and i like that idea of certain skills/spells to classes based on race
addictmud: the race one I figured we should deff go with
nynaeve2469: i like that one
nynaeve2469: and it really got me thinking
addictmud: about?
nynaeve2469: dwarf today
addictmud: ok
nynaeve2469: ok like heere's one
nynaeve2469: i dont know if it would work better with bard, priest, cleric or paladin but i'm leaning toward bard, priest or cleric
nynaeve2469: (i thinki have a better idea for paldain)
addictmud: ok
nynaeve2469: i'm, reading this ase i go

soul orbs
melee orbs

Brazil: and last time I talked t nyn about it, I coded an orb item type that
was insetable.... but I don't remember anything beyond that :P
Brazil: and that's not necessairly code that has to stay in, I'm ok ripping
that out
Gargamel: herm...
Gargamel: i remember vaguely
Brazil: what IS an elemental orb?
Brazil: I have an orb of fire, wtf does it do? hehe
Gargamel: we tossed around the idea of having different elemental orbs (each
orb would be speciffic to an element)
Gargamel: and the orb would boost the power of that elements spells to the
caster
Gargamel: for instance if someone had a fire orb ... fireball would be a
certain percentage higher in damage (depending on the power of hte orb)
Nynaeve: it makes fire spells more effective and maybe makes the player weak
to ice
Gargamel: ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!!!
Jagang: Maybe have different types of orbs , defensive and offensive ,
offensive will boost their power as gargs says , and maybe defensive will
place a shield around the char , or give them resistance to that type of
attack
