Just to say some things before I begin, I’d like to first of all thank the creators of Sandbox for customizing such an amazing engine. I can see no complaints so far (except for the lack of tutorials, which will come with time), and am very thankful. Second of all, I want my game to be one of the best (who wouldn’t want their game to be the best?) so I’m looking for constructive criticism from people in ways that I can make it better. Anything and everything is welcome!
Wiki :: Ringaard's Wetpaint
}:: What is Ringaard? ::{
Ringaard is Sandbox’s first MMORPG. Instead of having one massive world (which would create server problems) the world will be separated into different maps. Due to the “massive” part of this game, it will be unable to be fully implemented until a newer version of Sandbox is released with save-able games and such. Mapping is beginning to take place, and there is a to-do list that is taking shape on the wiki, so if you want to help, even in a small way, just check by there and see if you can't check something off!}:: Updates ::{
December 21st, 2009 ::
The team seems to be full right now, but if you have specific skills in an area, please feel free to send me a PM or reply in this thread. Also, a to-do list is being put together in the wiki so that the whole team will be able to pick out things to work on at any time they like. The goal isn't to create a massive game all at once, but rather a small game with all the necessary features so that we can build out from that.December 10th, 2009 ::
3 new members of the team join up! The wiki is being put together (rather too slowly for my liking) and the signature at the end of the WIP is updated (oops!). December 7th, 2009 ::
The WIP is posted up! Game ideas are being put together and the concept is solidified so that when 2.4 for Mac comes out, the ideas can be implemented.EDIT :: 2.4 for the Mac is out.
What I'm Working On ::
Creating a to-do list for the wiki.}:: Features ::{
This list of features is relatively incomplete, because as the game design process goes along, more things will be sure to be added. Also, the following features are mostly realistic things that I think I could add into the game or that I think will be common “scripts” that will become more readily available as the engine becomes bigger. The “dream” features, or features that aren’t as readily applicable, are listed at the bottom.Realistic Features
Bazaar :: A common marketplace that is accessible from almost all cities. Players can come and set up a shop to sell items that they've collected from slaying monsters and completing quests.PvP Areas :: Talking to the designated NPC in any town will teleport you to a common PvP ground where you can prove your strength to the world.
Skills :: Class-specific skills that players can access as they level and change jobs (upgrade their class). The skills are what will make the game and make each class unique and special.
Dream Features
Fishing :: Fishing will make up a larger-than-usual portion of the game. Instead of constantly buying potions to heal yourself, players will fish in designated areas using different rods, nets and bait catching a huge variety of fish. Different fish heal different amounts of health, and this also allows for a fishing market to let players play the game and succeed without killing a single monster.Party Quests :: Players can form a party of 2-6 members (party size depends on the party quest) and perform a series of challenges for experience rewards as well as increasing (or decreasing) their PQ Rank (viewable on the Player Info right-click menu). Future PQ's will allow smaller parties to pit their strengths against one another to see who is the best. These PQ's will be more gold-rewarding based.

. as a matter a fact I spent the whole of the last school holidays writing up a design for a game that I never ended up having the time/money/patients and just all out resources to make. I had every thing down from how much xp you would get each level and the percentage you needed more each time to make the game fun but still spaced out enough that you don't ruch through every thing for the current patch that was out I also had average amounts of health per level per class and how much damage/ healing each spell would do. to me I was a whole lot of fun designing the game and I hadn't even put anything into practice
