JI was wondering if we could make the game a little more quest oriented......like in EQ say an enemy boss spawns like every 15 minutes or so, well maybe we could create boss spawns that carry unique quest items. Or if we are near the item limit, we could make some of the now in game items unique items that can be picked up once an enemy boss spawn drops their pack. I dunno, this just seems like a good idea for more town bots and more functionability throughout TRPG.

Causes camping if you do it that way... but I like the general idea...

Possible, on harder continents, there can be a rare bot or two that can spawn all over the island... (due to spawn spheres) which would allow the high level guys something to try and achieve by killing it, AND they get good new upgrade stuff.

Also, maybe have if you make the respawn time 5 - 24 hours it will make the killng (and item dropped) all the more enjoyable. And it can really be called a RARE.

I have just one thing to ask for:

Mass Dropping.

Many of us want to be able to drop say, 150 rubies when we are mining or something, I personally like getting purely sapphires at the happy crystal, I make more money like that. I suggest either working it like mass selling/buying, or doing fast dropping (Click 20 times really fast, you drop 20 things really fast).

Something along those lines, please.

Dropping 150 items at once=lag.

Pack, no.

On the ground, yes.

eq quests

EQ has the right idea about random powerful bots spawning, but camping came along when the bots spawned in same place every time. If the spawn sphere for the bot is HUGE then it is just a random spawn on map. There should be bots that spawn in same spot, and others that spawn randomly and wander.

Make the minimum spawn time 2 hours for rare bots. That way there will be rares, ultra rares (5 hours), and uber rares (10+hours). Mabye have Impossible Items (day spawns, say only at 6am est, and drop the items 1 out of 14 times). Don't make the bot drop it every time though. So people would have to kill the 15 hours spawn bot like 3 times to get the item.

One of my favorite bots in EQ is Varsoon. He is a lvl 20+ bot that spawns in a newbie area where there are lvl 5-15 players. Then when you kill him he come back as a lvl 30+ with a pet skeleton. So no one lvling there can kill him, they just have to run. Cause all the powerful people don't just stay in there group away from the new blood. They go all over the world. Don't make all the rare spawns all WAY OUT THERE, or just in the hardest zones. Make it a quest to get the final guy. Mabye transcontinental quests could be for really advanced players.

i used to spend many happy days lagging xaeros server to hell and back by dropping 1000 packs that had 1 coin inside

lags even worse when you pick them all up at once


we should be able to mass sell things to create pack

Boxbangers idea is pretty good but This does cause a problem. Say a boss bot spawns in the mines, and there are no high levels on the server. What do the low lvls do? It would work out nicely in theory, but I think that the quests should be left to the admins on the server, or the server owners. Quests could be provided to the admins that do not know how to quest well.

(oh and by the way, I recently noticed I was capable of posting on the private forums, does that mean I am invited to do so? If not tell me now and I will not post here until officially invited to do so.)

maybe we could create another map on top of RPG5mission map and seclude that map only for the levels that can only be reached by teleport eg: Mino Lair, Uber Zone, Travs Den... I mean would this not reduce the amount of lag if the two maps were to be far apart?

to keep lag down keep the new map out of range of rendering vision.. a few thousand units up would work. but players still ahve a lot to load when joining the server. might as well keep the continents separate.

May as well have the different continents on different servers...It'll keep the load time down.

Yes, we need random spawns, as well as fairly specific spawns. Keep in mind that the concept of a spawn sphere means you can also make psedo-random spawning, ie, this bot only spawns on this half of the continent. A little creative mapping should be able to make a newbie only area. I really don't see problems with a few high lev roaming bots anyhow.... people need to learn to run now and then.They also need to get used to conning bots before attacking.

For really, really good weapons make them spawn like once a month....

Heh, a month is pushing it.

If I was to wait a f*cking month to get a weapon it better be the end-all and be all 2 million points of damage mofo weapon, codenamed: G.O.D On Stick

Top spawn should be a few days tops... max is probably 14, which would be the ultimate butt-spanker that requires 10 lvl 75+ to kill the bot that spawns with it.

Keep the rare stuff rare, and challenging to get, BUT also keep it easily accesible... its a double edged sword.

Pets/elemetals/minions would be a blast...no more than 1 per player, though, otherwise we could have severe lag problems....

If we make the special weapons so they never wear out, make them very rare, otherwise, make them a bit easier to get to.

LOL. Save it for PKing, then!

If they break, you have to make them more common, of it's just not worth it.
