I remember in RoK when we did the world TGC for best of class. One of my Death Mages won because he was able to beat the crap out of other casters with his staff and therefore had better mana economy. He even managed to win a few open TGCs using the same tactics. I also had an enchanter who won seve...

First off let me make this clear. I am Cyclops, World Admin for Alura Online, also known as Rayth, former General and Build Admin of Rok. I am the current owner of Alura Online as the brothers quit coding and left it to me. All artwork submitted to Alura Online became the property of the game to be ...

Assuming you are going to have a secondary "parry" type category that resolves on hit I'd make it simple. For Monsters and Players you define minimum and maximum for AGI and LVL. Your base for 2 equal characters is 50%. Each point of agi difference between the two adjust the formula by +5%...

Honestly, unless you introduce an "honor" system I don't see any reason to focus any attention on the pk aspect of the game. If you had areas that only "sinister" people could go and others where only "honorable" could go then it would make sense. This would require a r...

Why not think of Paladin's in other games. For instance, Warcraft 3 or even one of their incarnations in WoW. Give them the ability to have "auras" that affect everything in the square. Protect wouldn't be the only thing they have then. In fact, if other suggestions were put in play they w...

I was thinking about this today. Not sure how the code is set for monster targets but I'll throw out an example of what I was thinking using my own experience coding. Let's say you have 3 people in a party and a single monster attacking them. The monster code says it chooses a number (1-3) and attac...

Love the little tweaks you are throwing in the game. Now though may be time for you to promote someone up to be in charge as the World Admin. Someone to coordinate lore, building, and handle staff issues. I've seen a few issues in the game that I've pointed out to some of the builders, things a Worl...

How about introducing a penalty for max level players who get PKed? Since people were talking about gold sinks how about losing 2% gold from their account each time they die? That will motivate some people to get out of the taverns.

You also have to keep in mind: RoK allowed 3-alts, so the OC was designed for 12 character teams assuming 4 people ran a OAD. The values were arbitrary and can be adjusted to 4 character teams. I actually designed it to work with 8 characters. It could be done with 6 or 7 if people had the right co...
