What Shall We Do?

[Marshy]

Ok, so me and the other RPG Mods have been discussing this and we would like to have your opinions.

The reason for this thread is because I would like to know your opinion about a certain issue: The RPG Inferno. The problem is that, due to a forum Update, each and every single member were reset. In addition, the books (and many were written) in which most of the storyline were explained as well as those which played a role in side quests (and one that took me hours to write because I was adding a hidden message) were lost. The books played an important role, and it would be really hard to write them all over again and have them fit like the previous books did in the storyline.

In all honesty, I don't feel like writing the same books again, and I know that some players wouldn't play through the same game all over again. I've been discussing this with Kyle, and I also mentioned it to Koloth, that we should create a new game.

Pros of New Game:
-We can take old ideas and include them to a new and improved storyline.
-Won't have to make sure to write all the books we've lost (we just write them as we progress)
-Players won't have to play through the same areas all over again.
-Spells and Items that were created can be used in the New Game.

Cons of New Game:
-We start all over again
-It would take us like a week to have the first area ready (maybe less)
-Loss of all the previous work....since the previous storyline won't be completed...

Ideas for New Game:
-Have the first area set for players to decide between Mages, Warriors and a new class I have in mind, Assassins/Thieves. We will be think up many more classes then this, but for now these are some examples.
-The first item that a player will obtain could have a stat bonus set depending on their job. If warrior then a sword with a 5 STR Bonus, if Mage then a Staff with 5 MAG Bonus, if Assassin/Thieve then a dagger with SPD or EVA bonus.

I personally want the new game. It would be alot easier.

Also, if you vote for new game, feedback on what you would like to see is welcome.

It's a shock the books weren't saved on some computer as a document. Not a big deal, though. I think an entirely new game would be much better. I'm sure all of the old game's vets don't want to fight through all of that all over again and go through the same events, and starting from scratch could open up a fresh plot and system and all that jazz.

It also seems like the cons aren't really cons, just statements of the obvious. Since the RPG is down already, I doubt it would be too impeding to wait a bit longer for the new area, so all's good on that front. I guess I've been campaigning for a new game/storyline for a while, so I'll stick to that opinion.

I think that a new game would be a really good Idea, even thought it would probably take longer to make it would be worth it as the storyline would be new and the New Classes would be quite good.

I have some ideas but most of them are mainly for jobs/classes, i think it would be good if there could be summoners who could have greater mag Def but i am unsure on how the summons would work. there could also be archers who have greater Dex.

I agree with these 2

No point having the old game if you make a new one. I only got to level 25 ish and I'd be annoyed having to do the same old stuff again so I can only imagine it would be pretty darn annoying having to start from scratch if I was really high levelled

New is good

A new one would be much great, I don't like fighting the same dudes again

 

[ListKeeper]

I haven't played the other rpg but the new one sounds better so hay I agree with everyone above me.

NEW ONE!

why?

Cons of New Game:
-We start all over again
Do I look as if I care... either way... we *hopefully* weren't really that far,
-It would take us like a week to have the first area ready (maybe less)
I think we all can take a few more time of waiting... don't we, besides, it's already down, so...
-Loss of all the previous work....since the previous storyline won't be completed...
Well, you may use parts of it... or make THAT storyline a sidequest or sumthin,

Well... so there's my point, besides from that... interesting ideas, XD

As a last point, you said preferred a new game, so...
