Default server idea

I'm currently thinking about trying to code a server where the zones are dynamic. AKA races can take over zones. If the undead go unfaught long enough, they might start to expand their reaches (automatically) past befallen. In this server, cities could fall and be turned to other races, and other things of that nature. A good example would be if you were lower guk and killed a much harder undead king, the undead would stop respawning and live would slowly start returning to lowerguk. Another example from above is the undead could expand from their haven in befallen and the like, and try to take over. (again, automatically, on a hour to hour basis). If they went unstopped they might take over a whole continent. To then stop them from smalling you might have to kill the highest ranked undead monster... Ofcourse this would be a legit server. Does this sound like a server you might be interested in? Questions? Comments? Etc...

Love it! If you really have the time to do this it would definately get popular.

Also since i'm guessing you got your inspiraton from horzions how about unlockable races? Like you start out with human races (human, elf, erudite) and then try and unlock the midgets, then the beastly races.

Good luck with this

Lol, well i'm beta testing it. Basically what you plan for your server is what horzions big selling point is

Make sure the server is fully legit though, a semi/non legit would take all of the fun out of it.. lol 10 people with 160/18 weapons would fight off the undead easily. :P

If it wasn't legit... The mobs would be scaled accordingly.. but I want a real game, which means it will be legit.

One more suggestion before I go buy a game, let people allign themselves with the undead It would be cool if like alligning yourself with them would give you PK status and you would be hunted by other players..

Ok I could go on forever Cya

Pretty much what Wiz has been planning for WR with the dynamic war for the longest time, heh.
