If you go into the game expecting money to be dropping left right and and centre, you may be suprised, but it wont be that rare.

Screenies are being worked on. I will post how im getting on.
Hopefully the website will have stats like Koreans website does like "Top 100"

May include horses, we will see.

GM's will practicaly ALL the time be on Observer. And no i dont want people to ask about GMing i will be having a cool eye on the look-out.

Taos get 2 pets.
Account information will be made available shortly
A lot of 'swish' music ingame hopefully.
Forum rules won't be strict but common sense needed.
Hotmail account used for registration? Possibly.

There will be a V.nice house system where you can slowly by better things for your house etc. And invite your friends round your house. May be able to do special things in house like spawn mobs and do little quests.
Owning a conquest wall will be VERY profitable with the surround Caves / Secret Mines dwelling within the wall or underground.
There will be advantages of owning walls, e.g being able to hunt in some caves other people can't, thus people Fighting for the wall more often.
Relics and horns will be made easier to get so more fun is available!!
Suggestions and ideas will be taken into consideration and thought about.
Leveling is going to be made fun, due to people getting bored of lvling, items will be dropping alot to make money off and surroundings WONT be boring.
I know alot of people like MASS lvling so iv'e been working on some maps that will hold ALOT of mobs and there will be some Nice places to lure them to etc.

P.s - As im a MapMaker i will be making a Very Nice home Zone and some Very Nice Conquest Provinces Caves Mines Dungeons to allways keep people interested!!

I know this is going to be a big Project, but me and my bro should be able to take it on, but College will be coming first before, but i don't have a job so hopefully if this goes very successfully I will be able to maybe get some contributions to buy better server stuff etc and probably start a nice LARGE server up with a great Ranking system and constant updates.

Some, if not most of the bullet points you posted in the first post are copied from the interview with Forge from Euro Mir3 about the actual Euro Mir3 server :S Most of the stuff is EI only anyway.

Yes, but over the last couple of months that I’ve joined the and slowly conjugated into the LOMCN community I’ve seen possible things that I didn't think where possible and I like a lot of the points that where in that interview, so I want to interpret those ideas into my Server (if i can, as i know is a V.BIG project). And as you’ve seen I’ve put "possibly" & "hopefully" by a few things which I will strongly be looking into and researching.

There are hopefully going to be some nice Haircuts ingame.
Odds are, you'll never see a GM ingame.
Ok, they're some nice ideas here i suppose, but some of them are totally impossible unless wemade want to add them for you =p.

Ok first things first, GM's - i dont think that having them on observer all the time is a good idea. Not only will the gm's get bored and will proberly either quit, or find "other ways" to entertain them selves, but it also doesnt get the players a chance to see who they're meant to "look upto", but anyway thats your choice.

Ok, just a question here how big (appoximatly) are the patches going to be, and what do you mean by "swish music"?

When you say "hotmail accounts used for registration, what the hell do you mean? If you mean that you cant register without sending a - mail, not only is it impossible to do, but its a totally rubish idea (alot of people find out about servers useing FE, and if they cant make an account then they just wont join) so please explain that =p.

Now this "Auction System" trust me it is impossible, and isnt going to happen. You say that there have been alot of advances recently and you dont think anything is impossible, but this is without wemade adding it. The reason things have been added is because they are already in the exe, jut not used eg the stat window has always been in the files but was only found out recently. Since the auction system was added with ei, it WILL not be in our files and there fore impossible to put in =p.

Hmm well putting siege weapons ingame will most proberly be impossble, and the only way i can think of doing it is with pets, but you might have a chore getting arrows to fire from long range (hmm just a thought here, you might be able to use the "dark" long range attack and just make the mob more powerfull) but anyway gl with that.

There is absolutly no chance of getting the "Offline msg system working", so i wouldnt even waste you energy trying. Again its for the same reaons as the auction system.

For haircuts the only way of adding new ones, is to accually get rid of the old ones, so i suppose you could do that, but there would only be a very small number of them.

Ok now this last one i think is just stupid (like the first one), but this is even more rediculous. Its ok that gm's dont show themselves when they're doing things, but what if they're just in the sz watching people. It's pretty hard to talk to someone else useing PMs, and again the gm's will just get bored, and proberly disobey you anyway, but its your call.

Finally if you want any help, either pm me on here or add me to msn - [email protected], and gl with what you decide to do.
