*I was reading the topic on map/quest/npc errors and decided to write this*
I wouldn't say fixing maps would really help with bringing characters back or bringing new characters. I understand that there are small errors that need to be fixed. I also understand that you really aren't asking of this opinion but I felt it needs to be addressed. I ALSO (sorry, hah) understand that the point of FSO has always been free roaming with tons of skills and whatnot. But I feel two things that would help the game: coherent story line with quests that actually guide (so to speak) through the game and balancing of the classes. You guys do have decent quests which can take you to new places, but in my opinion they aren't prevalent enough and they're painstakingly boring. Not to mention, (sorry if I'm wrong) but I've never noticed a true goal to the game, besides get an FD sword and own everyone else (I'll be bringing this up in a second). You guys have an awesome quest engine in this game which I've never seen anyone else come close to making on an FSO! It'd be awesome to see other goals obtainable besides maxing your HP and getting an FD sword. Now on the class balancing, it'd be nice to see class customization. By that, I mean with your class you can get different weapons and such that others can't use, a warrior dualing a two handed weapon with a shield? A mage with buffs and debuffs? An archer with increased walking speeds and hitting you with two arrows! Also, class specific skills would be awesomeeeee. At the moment, even if you start out as a mage or whatever it is, it sets your account as a universal class. I'm not really saying make everything class specific (I love that part of FSO) but I'm just saying if you want to start out as an archer, you should get an advantage for starting as an archer. I hate that the only way to be boss in this game is get an FD sword and max your HP. It's annoying and makes PVP boring. Those're just two of my biggest things with this game, I'd love to see Terra flourish seeing as there's really only one other FSO out there. So much nostalgia in this game <3
Just my input. Terra has tons of maps and cool new features that blow out any other FSO but those features simply aren't put to good enough use, in my opinion. That being said, I wasn't saying this game sucks and not enough development is taking place; much love to the dedicated staff on this game
I know Tom is on vacation and there's not much you can do about it. However, I would like to see plans addressed to problems like I posted instead of releasing new items and new areas. <333
Remember, I'm just trying to be helpful. Sorry if my message didn't come across that way. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at as I don't check these forums often.
Bye guys, I love you all <333333
I'm crimson orchid. That makes me really happy. Terra by far had the best quest capabilities; really needs to be put to good use :3 you should try pushing the classes with Tom. However since most of terra's player base will be returning players, you'd have to let them quest to get a class or something.. Don't want them to get screwed
Love the ideas and I also understand where your getting at, but at this point us admins have 0 access to new skills and class specifics.I love the ideas of the whole class specific abilities and what not but that would have to be done by tom and I would personally love to see it too.
The quest ideas is also great as well and us admins are currently discussing new ways to make quests more relevant.I am gonna start wrighting quests that will put gold back into the economy and soon imma discuss it with the other admins about trying out nina's idea for giving experience for every quest.There may also be some larger repeatable quests in the future that players can do over and over to gain gold, heads, crystals, and stuff along those lines.These are just the little things that us admins can do to try and bring terra back to it fun days.
I would also like to end off by saying that I would love to see you playing terra again poncho and who knows maybe in the near future we might need a spriter of your skills if your still doing that sort of thing.I would also like to see you still bringing in the ideas and trying to do your part to help terra...look forward to hearing from you again =)
