I'm accepting any and all ideas for my upcoming MMORPG, Kingdoms Rising. As well as name ideas, if you don't like that name. Look at this thread for what I've got so far, and suggest away! Almost no idea is too crazy…

Currently though, my main request is phrases for a safe chat. Got any ideas for me?

I'll not be responding to any ideas listed here unless I need a bump, or until the beta is out, in which case I'll thank all those who gave ideas, and credit those which I used.

You should be able to make a house which you need components from crafting

That's not a bad idea. However, I need plenty more ideas!

Dungeons called speed dungeons and the point is you have to kill everything inside and escape the dungeon and there are leader boards

Alpha's almost out, any more ideas?

Advanced player customisation, I could create a project showing you how to do it if you want

I could go for some player customization, sure. What's the difference between that and advanced customization?

advanced means more customisation with out the need for hundreds of costumes and yet there can still be thousands of different combinations, basic is having lots and lots of costumes (causes lag)

Explain the concept to me, I'm liking this idea.

Unknown Dungeons: Randomly generated dungeons which change every time you go into them. The boss at the end varies, too. All loot found inside is random, and you get to keep it.

Good one! Any more for me?

What kingdoms are there?

Good question! And also one you can answer. I'm accepting ideas for anything, including names. I don't have anything at the moment, so go ahead!

Well with basic customisation you have one sprite which contains lots and lots of different costumes which makes up the character. The idea with advanced customisation is that you reduce the amount of costumes by a huge amount and to do this instead of having just one sprite which makes up the character, you have several sprites for different parts of the character.

Example: if I where to make the character a person, then I'd have a sprite for the different arms, a sprite for the different heads/faces, maybe even sprites for eyes and other facial features, etc. When you've made these sprites with their costumes you now have to get them to sync with each other using scripts so that they look like just one customised sprite. There are many ways of scripting them to move with each other, but I've only found one way which allows them to move at the same pace and making the character look like one solid image/sprite. I could explain my method if you want or you could just find your own unique way of doing so.

Ah, I get it. Thanks!

Np, if you ever need any help with these kind of games, I'm the guy

A couple of class suggestions.

Warrior - meant solely for tanking, a warrior is the only class that can equip ‘heavy shields’ (observe the shields used by Roman soldiers). Their abilities focus entirely on defending both themselves and their allies from enemy attacks.

Vanguard - a complete opposite to the warrior. Designed around dealing massive amounts of damage to large groups, their attack animation frequently shows them spinning the sword to wound any around them (though not every time).

Paladin - an even balance between warriors and vanguards, paladins have various abilities that aid defense, while still being able to put up a good offense. They can use two handed weapons, but are also useful with their spells - such spells include raising defense for allies and healing them, while also damaging opponents.

Assassin - stealth based, assassins can ‘cloak’ themselves when no one is looking at them. They are the only class who can use two weapons at once - though both must be daggers. When they strike an opponent from behind, it deals three times as much damage.

And perhaps classes to do with magic should be member only?

Pyromancer. A mage with control over flames, Pyromancers focus purely on damage. Perfect for dealing with large groups of opponents, their attacks are very hard to aim, however.

Necromancer. Controlling the dead, Necromancers actually earn ‘Dark Energy’ by dealing damage and killing. They can summon the undead using Dark Energy up to ten seconds after they kill something. Sometimes, when enough players or NPCs die in one area, it becomes a ‘place of death’ - Necromancers can summon the undead without killing in those places, and slowly gain Dark Energy. They can also use ‘affliction’ spells - spells that slowly damage an opponent over time. For the undead scripts, cause it to create a creature hostile to everyone, including the necromancer.

Aquamancer. Controlling water, Aquamancers focus on healing and slowing enemies.

Also, perhaps think of a menu similar to this?

Interesting! Any more ideas?

Oh yer, this seems to be a common problem with most RPGs on scratch, and that is that most of the scratchers get carried away and keep on adding and adding to their project making it slower and eventually it lags incredibly badly. So for your RPG to really stand out and be fun to play, make sure you watch out for lag constantly and whenever it occurs even slightly (as it may be a lot worse for other scratchers) try to reduce it as much as you can so that you can add more to your game.

There are currently plans for a slow computer option, maximized performance. So far, these ideas shouldn't create much lag, so keep them coming! Not everything posted here will get implemented, but it never hurts to ask!
