Post  Post subject: Races for Reign Online Reply with quote

One day, I was talking to my friend, and what he asked me turned into a suggestion idea for me. The idea is that Reign Online allows players to become different races that the game has, e.g. Angel, Demon, or Fish. This idea would make the game much more creative. It would also be cool if we change each race looks like, e.g. Fish race would look like Merman or Phen or whatever people can think of. And you will also see your gear and class sprite just like how it is now, for that race. Also, it would be fun if we include Race War at times that WoE isn't active, or have them occur when WoE isn't. The idea of Race Wars is that each race fights over certain towns instead of castle, meaning, that an area is created to allow people to fight, and in that area contains a flag or whatever players think of, similar to an emp., you have to destroy the flay by burning it/attacking it to replace it with your Race's flag.

This would be a lot of work. We'd have to completely design the sprites one pixel at a time for this to even be possible.

I'm not saying it is a bad idea, it's definitely creative, but races have never been implemented into RO for a reason.

Given that this idea would require new/more sprites, a lot of code, and a lot more testing, this seems unfeasible. The game simply was not created with the intent of having multiple races as many other MMORPG's do. As Venser pointed out: far too much work, even for Gravity's team.

i know where you are comming from with this but the bolded statment is wrong i have jumped from many ro servers and although rare there have been some with races and factions added and they have worked pretty well however the reason said servers did so was because they had little else to do because they were high rate servers but anyways i think it is a good idea though i doubt it will be implemented anytime soon ... or ever for the italisized reason

I was speaking kRO and iRO-wise. I'm aware that some servers do make their own custom sprites, thanks for clarifying though. Smile

EDIT: It has also been said a few times that Luzz wants the core of Reign Online to remain in sync with iRO. And, unfortunately, it would seem that the addition of races and race wars would compromise that desire to not deviate too far from iRO.

I remember when this suggestion was first made.
And I still think it is a bad idea.

If you create and provide quality race sprites for us to implement and use, there is a possibility that this could be considered.

However, they would function much like our current third class preview system does and would be subject to a large number of limitations.

I was thinking that the players think of sprites, draw them, and post them for whatever race, and people vote, because I'm not a good drawer or do I have any art skill. As for the limitations, I'm fine with that.

Races/Factions is quite simple to do - however dedicated sprites - we would need a 20 person team dedicated to doing this. It isn't just a matter of making a drawing for the sprite. It is much more involved than that. We would have to create about 100 weapon sprite for each of the class sprite, and action files for each of the weapon sprites. Multiple all this by 8 different angles, and movement.

As fun an idea as it is - it really isn't feasible.

Sad

and there you go, EGO at it's finest ^_^

Ren, if you can create the sprites, the rules, and all that we need for this to function to fully operational and bug free, then you're welcome to complete it ^_^ as Luzz said, its goin to take a lot of work, possible, but a lot of work nonetheless...

Any chance to do all of that and instead of adding different sprites just to change the color that a persons character name appears or something or during war to show thier flag above their head or something more simple?
