What's the basic structure going to be?
PostPosted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 11:24 am


Forums.

Urrgh. It'd be hard to do games unless we had a game programer. I know games can be built in Flash (I've dabbled around with that but dislike it).

Guilds?
Journals and profiles definitly.
Clothing shops and NPCs.

Maybeh... a storyline and maps (me love maps)?
PMing system.
Main pages.

MP? Or would it just be an exchange forum?
Oh yes and trading.

Inventory. I'm not doing that. >.>"

Account settings and options for around the site.
Friendlist

Currency

That'd be the basics.

Storyline! I'd love to work with the storyline team, if we have one!

I don't think we need to worry about Games yet, at least until this grows big.

I think the games will come in last, as they are an additional item. The story line is a great idea though. I think we need to pick up a name first.

although i love the idea of the marketplace keep in mind that you cant really control such a thing in that all the users together control it.

just a question but what do we use as currency? gold, coins, gil? we need a name for that one too.

also guilds can wait until we get larger. until then the forum will do i think.

and the storyline idea is great.

So....

Storyline
Currency
Forums


Seems to be the basics that everyone wants. Gil is...a final fantasy trademark =.=* and I do not want to tick off SquareEnix thank you very much.

We could use something like gems for currency. Instead of having just one we could do multiple. Like five rubies equal a crystal.

Lol. Rubies... just reminded me of Zelda.

All currencies have basicly been done before.

I say though... sand dollars! xd

Ooo! If we use sand dollars we could have a pirate/steam punk/beach type storyline too! surprised

Altantis like story time! whee heart

Sea witches, tons of different sea folk, pirates, bog people (like shamans/mystics). Oooo.. yeah, yeah. >w< Then a surfer for the randomness of it. xD

well as far as the currency i like the idea of multiple currency's. but try not to go with only the sea theme because i have seen a lot of sites that use this. keep it varied and we will stand out much better.

Currency is tricky, perhaps we could say runes? Which would be more nordic.

As for multiple currencies...well, I dislike that idea, especially to start off with. Can't have different currencies doing different things.

When a name has been decided, it'll probably be easier to make a name for the currency, as the site name can be used for inspiration :3

We ARE going with a Nordic theme, but we haven't exactly decided on what name we're going with. At the moment, we're going with Runes....>.>
