Suggestions;

[Tristan]

***NOTE*** This is just my opinion, and my suggestions based on past experienced. If any server names/sources are named, it is for example purposes, not advertising purposes.

Since this is my opinion, I do not intend any flame, hate, or advertisement.

  ~~ Donator Benefits.

What kind of benefits will donators have? Something like this should probably be planned ahead of time; so that you know what to code for, and so that people can know what they may or may not be donating for ahead of time.

  ~~ Hype

Create Hype. Use Youtube, make a promotional video, spread the word. Get some anticipation going.

  ~~ Beta Testers

Let 4-5 trusted individuals in early, so that the server can be properly Beta Tested. It would be better to find out early- before the server is released- that if you drink a dose of prayer potion and then a rocktail you'll be healed to max HP. You can also test for balance issues, which is a common problem I see with 614+ sources. It seems people are too happy on the AGS, because in Legacy (And many other 614 sources) the Armadyl Godsword is super overpowered. Everything that happens should be documented, (Hypercam, Camstudio, etc.) So that you can go back and look for issues. (If any exist)

  ~~ Nex

Make Nex as similar to the Nex on RS as possible. The problem with lots of RSPS's, is that they make Bosses and Monsters simply too easy. For example; On the server that I administrate- Rune-Xile (Which I will probably leave as soon as this server is released)- The Hybrid PVP Source they use had the majority of the drops missing. The only "Boss" that dropped anything was KBD, which is just too easy. The drop rate was also way too high.

DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Make Torva/Pernix/Virtus (If you code Nex to drop them) Make sure that it does not drop them too often, does not respawn too quickly, etc.


  ~~Voting

Give people something for donating. Be it points towards a rare, anything to get people to vote. The Big servers all give something for voting. Tokens, Cash, Points, anything to give some extra incentive toward voting.

  ~~Rares/Spawn Economy

Create an economy. Make certain things unspawnable, and can only be dropped via Bosses. Bandos, Godswords, etc. Anything to create an economy, with that care-free feel for those that just want to PK, but the economy for those that want to be big and rich, and have the thrill of that large stake fight, or that infamous ags pk.

  ~~Staking

Staking is a large part of an economy, and a powerful- and addicting- thing. This ties in with Beta Testing. Make sure Staking is 100% coded, and there are no exploits to speak of. Another downside to Rune-Xile- If you had Food turned off, you could still eat if you had rocktails, and there were numerous other large exploits.

That's all I have for now, I might think of something else.

I appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Most of these suggestions are very good, and I'll be sure to have Brett (The Coder) view this.

I myself agree with all of the topics, and I'm sure we'll find bugs, and having people to help find the said bugs is very helpful. In my own opinion, I'd ask of you to be a tester, seeing as you have some type of experience in looking for these things.

Thank you.

I would be glad to help. I think this server will go far. I've only seen/played one server with Summoning, and that was Corruptionx. They only had it for a short time, too, and it was very glitchy. It seems that Brett is a fantastic coder, and I think this server will blow up, given the right amount of exposure and advertisement via word of mouth, this server could be the next 'Big' server. Do you have any donator benefits in mind? I will likely donate for Extreme either way, but it's nice to know what I'll be donating for.

[Anthony]

As of right now, we aren't sure exactly what benefits there will be, but I'd appreciate any suggestions for it.

[Mr Taylor]

Agreed.

[Tanner]

I am probably gonna do a vote thing like TRPK has, every 100 votes we will do an event which the server proposes or suggests we do.

[Elix]

Isnt it going to be spawn? and

You should make a little spot that no one can access unless ::ffs or ::event or w.e is enabled. Have events like TRPK with little prizes, nothing to big. Will attract tons of players. Make staking at duel arena perfect, I don't know why, but I love to box stake, dds stake, mage box. Just the thrill of knowing you can double your bet is awesome. My biggest suggestion is EXP COUNTER omfg I jizz for it. I don't know why, but I LOVE hybridding with it, seeing a 400+ exp dds spec is just selena gomez in the mouth. +it will get you like 1k players

The server will be spawn, but some items will be obtained through kills; Like Controlledpkz with their Fist of Guthix tokens.

We will be using something different though.

Something like PK points, or some other stackable item that is obtained when you get a kill?
