teamsi89 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) 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. http://easyfroguides.x10.mx/quest.html -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. Edited March 13, 2013 by teamsi89 1
Veracity Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 It's great to see that you're so motivated and passionate about the server! I feel the same way, and I'm ALWAYS looking for ways to improve the server and make us the best. I'm very happy to hear others do, too! :) I think a lot of your ideas sound interesting and worth discussing, but we'd need more specific details for each suggestion in order to really talk about anything. I'd love it if you could send me some of your web design work, as we may decide to revamp the website.
teamsi89 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I just know Forsaken can go much further ^^ but yea about those web work, what I meant was through experience in college, ive had some knowledge about web working and also having interest in web work ive done some on the side of my own but as of now i don't recall having any web work design saved. I've been asked to help a client but never had that time to get to it. I am rusty as heck about the web work stuff now. But being creative never gets rusty haha So yea to be more specific about things I will re-edit them so that it is more simpler, also maybe have a GM meeting and see what inputs you can get them to add to see what the server needs. Then record the conversations and ideas and see what will work. Like have a only GM Allowed topic and that way GM's could update each other unless there is one already that we members just cant see lol. To add, as of now I am taking a Digital Imaging Class hopefully that helps me improve what I can bring to Fro :D Edited February 14, 2013 by teamsi89
teamsi89 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 Sorry, hope I don't get warned for this double post.. >.< but yea bumped to let things out there and its been updated a bit.
thePast Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 Some of them are really nice and some isn't that nice.. i'm too lazy to quote them xD
teamsi89 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Some of them are really nice and some isn't that nice.. i'm too lazy to quote them xD Do you mean not nice in a way im being mean lol i hope im not being mean or not nice in anyway D: Edited February 14, 2013 by teamsi89
thePast Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 ^No no, xD I mean, they're not necessary.
teamsi89 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 Oh haha kk, scared me for a sec..but yea I know what you mean, but they are just suggestions heh. But It would be great if which one do you see that isn't really necessary. Any feedback would be appreciated
thePast Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 Site suggestions are: -Add Links that give more information about the items needed for the quest. And a bit more organized for the certain quest items. Kinda of a long page of scrolling with all items in one straight line. Simple Example ^Hmm,this doesn't really needed since the NPC is really easy to find, you can always make a note / new text document about it. -Maybe more options added to the main site. [i don't know how to explain this part..but once I do do know how to say it I will update lol] ^Like what? xD -Wiki suggestions: 1. Link the RoDataBase if it helps for the finding of quests 2. *Thinking* ^ratemyserver.net should cover most of it.. 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. ^We had Ventrillo for this, i'm not sure if it's still alive tho.. -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. ^We had something like this a long time ago, it was highly abuseable since if you're pro, you can just keep winning, i believe you can apply for a Spriter / Map maker job for the server since we don't know when Justice will resign.. 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. ^If this actually applied, people could just pretend to be newbies and claim the reward over and over as they can just google on how to change IP and Gen won't recognize them. Well, he could check the region, but i think we already had something like this. The answer is in bold and most of the feedback is just from my point of view, others could disagree c: 1
teamsi89 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I love feedbacks haha thanks. @Site Suggestions Well at first those who are new to the server it is quite confusing. I love how Forsaken has that map great add. But what I meant about the organizing quest stuff is maybe have it more organized in a way where its easy almost like a drop down list or something. Exmaple... Quest: [Drop down List of Type of Quest] Monster Hunter Quest Intergrated Quest Fasionable Girls Quest [select your Type of Quest] Monster Hunter Quest [if Selected] NPC Location [Display a list of Quest Under this NPC] HELM 1 Display Stats, Effects, Items needed for the quest and where to hunt them. [Pictures Included] HELM 2 Display Stats, Effects, Items needed for the quest and where to hunt them. Intergrated Quest [Will not show unless it is clicked by the user to view the list] NPC Location HELM 1 Display Stats, Effects, Items needed for the quest and where to hunt them. HELM 2 Display Stats, Effects, Items needed for the quest and where to hunt them. But have these in a easier organized list then rather having a long list of the quest. [i will create an example later] @More Options for the site..idk I just threw an idea out but if anything comes I will update :D @Wiki Yea I meant to say that lol, ratemyserver. com good source. ================== Oh FrO has a ventrillo? Awesome didn't know. But yea maybe reach out to others about that communication to help get something going. Maybe have it advertise on the servers. ================== @The Contest Oh ok yea I do see what you mean, well maybe then for those who really want to help out....Put out information for mappers / spriters to make the server have more maps or custom items if needed or upon GM's request. =================== @Server Sugesstions Oh yea I did not think about that part....maybe if server reached a certain amount of ppl in game [but people could have novices all over...] We just need something to get more players to join. Get Forsaken to go viral lol...I will think more about that part thanks for the feedback ^^ Edited February 15, 2013 by teamsi89
thePast Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 ^Ahh, i see what you mean xD Well, it all depends on the Admin / Wiki Mod opinion.. let's just hope they agrees :) +1. p.s : i think the server ventrillo's dead o.o
Veracity Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 We are currently looking into revamping the website and wiki to make them easier to use and more helpful to new players. Thanks for your suggestion!
