Hey everyone, I know I may have not a lot of posts at all but I have done my share of web making and server hopping back in the days. It would be nice to have a topic just set for Site Suggestions or an admin sticky note of the site updates and what so.
I love the graphics and all that on the site, amazing work to Barbie and whoever is helping with the site stuff. The site needs to be a little more...professional and inviting. The links to links are great, love the wiki a great add. We need to create Forsaken as an image that invites not only young kids maybe even older players.
Site suggestions are:
-Attracting more players of all ages, website tells a lot about ForsakenRo and the more it has a feeling of a cool and fun game for any age it will get more players to join. Once they get hooked it will gets gets yummmy *Edit* Stand back and look at the main site...does it have that *umph* to get players hooked.
-Example of a simple forum (Not a main site web look): http://plaguefest.com/ This is the community which I use to admin for its servers. Feel free to look around. (Maybe having a forum in its own window and not connected to the website like how it is now? no yea, need more clarification let me know.)
-Add Links that give more information about the items needed for the quest. And a bit more organized for the certain quest items.
UPDATE: I made this quick as an example hope its ok with the fRO GM team. For those more secretive and harder quest I will not post information just more of the basic gears and its effects/stats such as a zodiac aura. And also add pictures and where some equips go in gear for better understanding. At this link is an example.

-Wiki suggestions:
1. Link the RoDataBase if it helps for the finding of quests
2. *Thinking*
-Will Update if any ideas to add.
Misc Suggestions:
A must have for the voice communications, really gets a community going.
-Mumble - Voice Chat Communication (Easy and quick to join I use it all the time when playing CS:S) My Fav as well.
-Teamspeak - Also another great voice communication program.
-Links [Vote, CP] In Forsaken Patcher leads to a Not Found page. (Needs to be fixed unless its just my patcher)
-Map making contest? (Idk how this works but I was looking into seeing how maps are made would be fun to make some to add if possible.)
-Contest for the talanted, making sprites / skins / maps for the server. Winner will get their work displayed in game.
Server Suggestions:
-Server now does not look like it use to be back in the days. It used to have so many people alive and pvp was always filled. As of now its usually just heres and theres. I think something needs to grab more players, or motivate players to invite others and get a reward for it or what so. I love ForsakenRo and I know it can get to the top! :D I will do what I can to help out, we need to motivate others to put in there 2cents and help support this community.
-The Mall, a bit more room for it would really help, I see that its small, due to it being near the home town? If possible to relocate the mall to a better and larger map would be useful for both the shoppers and vendors. Have a contest which map the community would want the mall to be relocated to.
-The Home Town, the main spawn of the server. Too many Chat rooms lags people spawning. Disable Chat room at a certain distance from the spawn maybe? Have chats allowed on another side not too far from the home town but far enough so it would not lag people spawning home.
-More Mini-Games (Certain GM's can be assigned to a certain Mini-Game weekly)
-Players vs GM(s) or GM Clones
-Players vs Ultimate Boss
-Capture the Flag
-[Will Update if more ideas come]
=============================================================
But these are just my suggestions, Forsaken is still doing amazing for so many years! Lets push it to
-Number !ONE!-
I am pumped up for this! Really though lol I want to see Forsaken surpass and get to the top. This is a amazing server and It needs its players to help push it out there :) Will update when ideas come by.
