Hi!

I know that many of you think this game is abandoned, M2H does not care anymore, syrnia will never see another update etc. I hope it's not so bad and another update might still come.

This discussion is not about the likelihood of updates, instead it is about the type of updates Syrnia needs and players want.

What do you think?

I'd want new game play mechanics. I don't even care that much about what they are. Clan members getting on a trawler to hunt whales or giant squids, boot throwing competition, horse taming, new kind of PvP arena with tournaments, using magic for something other than item enchantments and orbs. Update could add new skills or extensions to existing skills. New quests would be great. Some new factions with quests, similar to thieves guild.

Highest ranking players also need something new to look forward to, I guess.

What do you think?

P.S. I expect to not get shot for making this topic.

Issues that need to be addressed, in no particular order. All have been mentioned in this topic, or other topics or chat. I've added a few issues that players were discussing in chat.

'

ID	Name	Description
#1	Login/Registration/PW recovery	Fixed
#2	Option to disable whispers
#3	New higher level island for pirates
#4	New game-play mechanics
#5	Promotion of Syrnia	Perhaps a contest with prizes for the best promoters?
#6	New coder
#7	level limited PvP	Outlands could be expanded with zones for different CL ranges
#8	Split in battle-mage levels (perhaps random CL ranges)	Fixed
#9	More lower level quests
#10	More unique/rare items	(perhaps as a donation option, items that don't have any impact on game-play) and can be put in trophy slot for showing off
#11	New ways to purchase premium points	Paypal?
#12	Mid-level island
#13	New skills	(possibilities - tailoring, taming, naval exploration/combat.
#14	Lore to expand Syrnia universe
#15	Expanding fishing and woodcutting skills	They are very simple and linear, compared to mining and combat
#16	800 slot farm
#18	Use for new gems	Jade, gamanite, ruby, serendibite, lapis
#19	Fixing battle-mage	Fixed... so it stops breaking every now and then
#20	Cheat detection improvements
#21	Missing item images
#22	Fame/pirate system update
#23	Switching between different gear suits	Nice to have.
#24	Bouquet messages in a separate folder	Nice to have.
#25	Clan crest, visible on the left from helmet.	Nice to have.
#26	Fishing tools as weapons.	Harpoons and fishing spears? Miners, woodcutters can use tools as weapons. Fishing is also a gathering skill, but does not have a benefit of a weapon.
#27	Higher level locked items	Highest we have is level 40.
#28	School for trading 75+
#29	Boat damage	Water vessels take damage over time and need repairs (wood), simplest implementation would be +durability on boats, would be easier to implement than boat HP
#30	Player organized BM fights	Players pay for using arena and can organize tournaments of their own
#31	New gold bar smelting location
#32	Voting website list	Most links are broken
#33	BBCode buttons	...when users edit/make a topic or reply.
#34	Limiting monster orbs	Perhaps number of orbs used at a single location per day should be limited, or number of orbs per day per player. Right now working locations can be blocked by orbs for hours. It especially hurts ogre mine.
#35	Refreshing user interface	Cross-platform support (smartphones, tablets, monitors etc.)
#36	Option to disable SH lines in clan chat	Option to disable them in history as well. And maybe move them to a different log, separate from chat. Make it a separate log available in clan menu.
#37	Option to disable OL logs	Would make OL faster for some players
#38	Showing BM logs after fights	So people could see who killed who.
#39	Account deletion	4 months for non-donators currently. Could be increased to a year.
#40	Change email associated with account	Would be useful for some.
#41	Monster pictures	Perhaps they can be brought back with right image caching implementation, so server does not get hurt too much
#42	Event list sorting	Alphabetically and/or chronologically
#43	Transfer house ownership
#44	More than 1 house at location
#45	Login page shows news from 2010	This makes new players think there have been no updates for 6 years.
#46	Old news page is broken	http://www.syrnia.com/index.php?page=news
#47	Option to not have underlined name for donators	No difference between underscores adn spaces in chat.
#48	Harvesting different types of crops at once	...
#49	Constructor house problem.	People can't have 2 houses in a location, makes life hard for constructors

Regards,
LK.

Since any suggestion here has as much chance of implementation as not let's go with something outlandish:

"Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers and Carriers"

Variation though mostly.

add cooking back to the battlemage

Something that activates syrnia again. Promotion, new Players. New Players and new Players.

I think the biggest update needed atm is to allow new players to actually join and log in. The lag in log in would also be addressed.

After those issues are resolved, then the next update would be a new coder. Need one of those to implement any changes to the game itself.

As it is, I do not see either of those occurring. Major changes would be needed for it.

1. an active and interested coder
2. bug fixes and fixes for any server issues
3. actual game related content, whatever that may be

Edited on 31-01-2016 08:29

Even though I know it will n ever get read.. but on the off chance it might.. here is my 2 bits

1. level limited PVP so that younger newer players have a chance at fighting without being total suicide for them because it really turns them off to find out they have to play for years before they can do it with any chance of surviving.

2. More frequent battle mages for the lower levels and a split in the higher levels so it becomes more attractive for players to do.

3. more quests for younger players even if it means something silly like making 5 bars or fishing diff fish at a location to give more goals to gain toward.

4. more opportunity to get or create unique items or ability to name an item in your inventory.

5. a use for burnts in game like possible fertilizer for farms or use in creating something?

6. another Island with more locations to do things for mid-high level players... like players in their 50's and above because honestly the crowding can be awful at these level locations.

7. The return of Paypal for a donation option since it makes it easier to donate to get the premium points package for a lot of us.

Edited on 31-01-2016 09:03

I'm not in a hurry to get updates, as there are still things I can't do in most skills.

But I'd probably put in a vote for what Twitxhy said. Changing up the arena fight bracket ranges to give more variety would also be nice, I guess.

New Quests,
New Tailoring Skill,
New Magic Items,
New Non-Combat related Quests,
New Non-Combat related Locations,
New Pirate-Only Locations,
New LandLubber and Pirate Locations,
New Combat location for mid range levels for Pirates.

Return of Beer skill.

Naval Exploration,
Naval Combat,

Add Taming,
Add Breeding,

New players need to know that there is stuff to look forward to, plus the people who have stayed and played deserve something new to do too.

That being said here is my two crowns.

A. A new Island perhaps with a mix of high and mid level stuff to do, since people complain about only being high enough to do 1 thing since they tend to specialize, but they also like to have lower level stuff to do. As for what skills should be high what should be low, I will toss out combat as High, mining and woodcutting as mid, and we can go from there.

B. New quests. Thankfully, with the release of Anasco and Arch 5 we had new quests implemented too, but I do think that with the talented people we have, a couple players could provide stories and outlines for some quests that a potential coder could turn into a quest.

C. Stability, we should be able to have the game up without having to wait half a minute to log in, or if that is here to stay the main new player login page needs to be amended to tell people it may take a while to log in, so they know it is normal.

Firstmostly wanted update is interesting lore via quests or whatever. I don't really care too much how it gets into the game.

Secondmosterliest wanted update is adding five or six more tiers of items to the game. For example five more types of metal, seeds up to level 350, magical spells up to level 250, three more types of boats with fishing locations to match.

Thirdmostlieserestest wanted update is creating balanced pvp, however that may happen.

There are my three cents. They are worth about three cents

@Telepathetic
If 5 more tiers get added, Syrnia might become one of the most hardcore games in the world

Edited on 01-02-2016 00:54

I wonder how long it's going to take before someone releases a game that takes more than one human lifetime to beat... ;D

It's probably happened numerous times, but... you know... Syrnia!

syrnia is perfect and needs no updates. ^.^

However new creatures are a good thing.

We have small chests but no large Chests

We have locked sarcs but I think those should be changed to two different sets of sarcs.

Locked Silver Sarcougus and Locked Gold Sarc.

Another way to obtain gems. as of right now lockeds mining and combat all contribute to gems and yet it's still extremely hard to raise the skill compared to others.

Pirates need an overhaul. Currently the system is broken as no player joining today will ever be able to catch up to the current pirate captain.

Pirates are known in game for their negative fame. I think that a great addition for pirates would be something to do with orbs which cause anyone who summons creatures to gain -5tt. a pirate wizard if you will... creatures only pirate folk can create although they shouldn't be the only ones with the power to use it.

I think that the game is in need of a way to get away from the best armors in game should be gained via outland mining. currently the outlands are a bit unfair and you are forced to join certain clans to gain mass exp or armor with any type of ease. arch 5 and arch 4 help out a bit to counter act that however even in arch 5 it's the player who clicks the link to mine first who gets the ore. NOT the player who put in the most effort to get their mining up to reduce their level.

I think that special gear such as a witch suit would be nice. Lets go ahead and fix the broken images too.

I personally feel like the best possible exp in game is a downfall in a sense... as a woodcutter a player only can sit in one place for the rest of their lives if they so choose to cut wood for exp/drops.

mining and combat have done it correctly as they can. There are methods within the game for you to gain decent exp in mining without risk and there are places that offer much greater rewards with lots of risk involved if your brave enough to go after the rewards.

Expand the outlands. why is the max woodcutting forest only level 55 in outlands yet the highest mining location is level 100?

forcing players to go to outlands for mining is just about the most amazing thing in game. (for me anyways) lets find a way to increase the trafic and fun. Maybe make it a bit more fair/safe so that it's not considered obsolete

A bouquet of four leaf clovers.

That goes against a fundamental principle of Syrnia, namely s/he who plays longer has advantage over those who have played for a shorter time. South Park's world of warquest sums it up nicely

You mean south park's 'make love, not warcraft' episode? If so, I don't quite get the reference that you are trying to make.

Its the one where one guy on wow is high level and just kills all the noobs before they have a chance to gain levels. Idk I played wow for 5 mins and hated it so maybe its a bad reference.

Pirate sh/dripoff point kanzo/ogre side of ols

An admin who actually manages the game.

Edited on 06-02-2016 02:29

Thats exactly what it is Telepathetic and why the PvP needs to be updated

What rubo said, because he is always right.

Bump, so this not get deleted.

Without an admin or an active coder with certain freedoms given by the admin you wont get any updates, so i guess those are the most important additions to the game

pictures of monsters in a fight again would be nice

An active coder would be a nice start to all of this, but I would like to see...
-800 farm slot available
-A use for the new gems
-Clan competitions/activities sound pretty fun

That's all for now

The ability to disable whispers, yes I've said it before and I'll say it again. They're rude and intrusive. I hate them, so why can we not disable them just like with any other chat channel?

Some sort of First Person Shooter mechanic preferably set in world War 1.

Clothes. Normal, different style clothes so one doesn't have to wear armour to have a -tt travel suit.

Any

Are you ok? are you ok? are you ok..

Smoothly done Meirz, nearly illegally so, you illicit practitioner of the flip side of the Law!

It would be interesting if Syrnia could be made Open Source..

#15 expanding mining and woodcutting skills (they are very simple, compared to mining and combat)

Wait, what? :o

Mining is more developed than woodcutting and fishing.
It has random ore spawns, danger factor in Arch caves or OL. There is choice between high risk/high reward mining in OL and mining at Abydos.

For woodcutting and fishing all you have is tools and set working locations.

What could be added?
* Boat maintenance
* more than 1 player on a boat to get a bit more fish.
* New fishing location with some danger factor, getting attacked by octopus or a
shark randomly.
* forest where you find fruit while working

Not saying such changes need to be implemented, but you get the idea. And combat doesn't need to be used, could as well be other skill.

Edited on 06-03-2016 17:25

I didn´t mean that.
You compared mining to mining. Read it again

work on the bugs

work on cheat detection

ability to have stored suits so you can switch -tt to +aim or by materiel for dragons without clicking every piece.

more work on cheat detection

+1 Deedar

first is before any new additions fix the old issues.

.Donations need fixing

.Battlemage needs fixing

.the cheat detection should be outdated by now so do some updates to that for better detection

.improve the punishment system for guilty players including IP bans.

.fix spelling errors within the game

.finish certain updates that were not finished by the previous coder such as dragon weapon and skill orbs



now away from stuff I think needs looking at to what I want.

possibly altering pirates again, maybe look into how thwy work, reform the current system?

Expand the outlands by adding new island entrances there to a new zone locked by limits, have the mainone still but a gate at say 53 that sends you to a 5-44 zone. another gate at 65 which is a 46- 90.

The expansion of fame
having more options on how to achieve fame
adding advantages to the amount of +/-fame you have
-like more fame more luck
-can enter a location with only a certian amount of +/-fame
-being able to use certian tools/clothes with certian amount of +/-fame
-having a delayed timer on invasions/events to thos with lower fame and people with high fame dont get a delay timer

you know what im getting at, having privilege's to certian things in game depending on your fame score? something along thos lines

I'll start simple though I have a lot I'd like to see happen... but I'd just like to see my purple Christmas sock and yellow Christmas sock and stockings

Definitely cheat detection improvements

Anything else?
I see cheat detection updates have been mentioned multiple times. I can only agree with that.

Monkey Invasions!

Monkey Invasions!

ooo mayb we could av an update where allied clans can av da option to see both clans chat together in green clan chat.

I'd love to be able to actually see my 2015 stocking decorations.

To follow on from what Kat said, an "Alliance" type mechanic. A founding clan creates an alliance and invites other clans to join that alliance. An associated alliance chat could be implemented with this.

Clan Forum Posts: Hide/show for certain Players.

(Too bad there's no hope anything will ever happen ever)
If I ever win the lottery, I'd take take control of the site and hire a team to revive it with all those new features

Someone did buy and take over Syrnia...

Forum -> General -> Syrnia : New Owner

SamuelQQ, you appear to be living in 2015 my friend.

we have an owner, we have an admin the peoples admin, the admin of the people.

PEOPLE POWER!

Hail our lord inquisitor!

HAIL LORD BORNEO! Prince of the saiyans!

Facepalm.

Also I'm just curious, I see alot requesting greater cheat detection.. Is there something the rest of us don't know about people currently being able to cheat undetected..?

Edited on 25-03-2016 01:08

lower the timer between guesses on larger chest combos bcoz it just takes 4ever

That is the point Kat, the community works together, shares info to unlock them.

besides they were only 1500 combo chests recently.

Meir, aint sure about that mate.

A syriet mine and updates on magic event orbs with the high gems already foundable (ruby, gamanite, etc..)

Hell no to a permanent syriet mine.....

Its not needed, there are plenty of ways to get it with and without risk. Keep the top 3 ores away from being permanent.

Major things we need include - something that makes Non-Combattors WANT to pay more attention to the game. Such things could be new formula for crafting items such as clothing. Where, you'd have to do a bit of walking. Go to eully to pick up thread and needle, go to harith(flowery place) to pick the flowers you need for the colors of the dyes you want to dye you clothing(later date may add option to combat gear overlays).
Once you do that, you head off up to the University to learn to weave, then you go in and learn how to stitch... then to learn to dye.
Which, could all be driven through the University, hence costing money to make - taking gold out of game, and yea - will have no real use but if you use color formats you could literally end up with No one Ever sharing the same colors.
A way to represent a clans colors or pride.

I'd rock TLO Colors, would you rock your clans colors? Answer below ! I am a bit curious.

I think this game appeals to most of it's players because it can be played AFK. Implementing actions that require non-afk playing, would be like walking in opposite direction of the course this game has been on.

As long as changes are not too drastic and most of the game is still afk-able, I am OK with changes.

The only update I want is to see Deedar removed as mod for revealing the fact that the cheat detections don't work.

#Way to go Troll.

I think vari is onto something there.. clan outfits would be awesome. maybe the opportunity to craft your own clan gear with a particular smithing level.. obviously give 0 armour but would be a good money/item sink.

All the updates I would want would be large.

A full redesign of the pirate system, so that they aren't island locked and instead just interact with places differently, some islands (Serp is obviously a low-key pirate island) being more friendly than others, allowing them to actually feel like the game cares about their choice.

Actual culture added into the islands. NPC culture, because we're in their world, not the other way around. Each one would have its own customs, festivals, etc.

More ways to interact with the world. Being able to talk to NPCs for things, more quests that actually, like, matter. You know, things to make this into a world rather than a timer.

An idea I've been playing with for a while, but I don't at all expect anyone else to care, is the ability for smiths to repair things. Every time the game tells me something was unrepairable, I think:
"How do I know this? I have no smithing ability. I should take it to a smith and let them look at it. Maybe one of the links in my chain broke and just needs replacing for a fraction of the ore cost of a new one. Maybe one of my sabatons broke but the other is still perfectly usable. Maybe my chestplate has a massive fatal crack down the middle and really can't be safely used any more. How do I know?"
At which point I would lose my, say, Gold plate, and receive a "Broken Gold plate" or whatever, then I could give them to, say, nirv, he would be able to use them and they would be randomly designated as repairable or not.
Obviously this one will never be added, but it's nice to get it off my chest.

I also want more useless clothing. The koban shirt is nice but I want more. I want to cosplay. Maybe it could be related to the island festivals I suggested earlier, where each piece is collectable from a festival and then isn't available ever again. And I mean never again, not Mayan-Never-Again. Looking at you, NEM.

Non-thieving guilds. Resource gathering guilds, processing guilds, etc. This one doesn't need much explaining

Most of my points revolve around world building, which makes sense to me as I'm a lore nerd.

Edit: My previous last line replied to a post I hadn't fully read and understood, and so came off as ill-informed rather than snarky. My apologies.

Edited on 27-03-2016 07:38

+1mil shin

I agree here,if you want the game to be non afk then add more roleplay, if players want to afk that's cool, if others want to roleplay, do guild or quest stuff then they should be able to .

PS I've been calling for a pirate rehaul for years.

@Shinobi
"I politely decline your attempts to make me pay attention to the world until there's an actual world to pay attention to."

Perhaps if you read the past two posts I've made you'd realize I am asking for them to add all the things you stated, and more. Which, is what I mean whenever I say give us more to pay attention to, stop neglecting the non combattors in the ways of "I need to keep an upkeep or die" - in this sense, "I need to keep an upkeep or lose resources."

You can politely decline, but you pretty much skipped most of what I said I feel.

Isn't what you are describing from 'Tailoring' in Amar and other Games?

Just 1 little simple thing for me

Another lol 25 woodcutting location ;)

Smithing idea Shin posted would be amazing The pirate thing, yes- I think seeing as Dee and the other capt have traded back and forth as capt for a while now it really DOES need an overhaul...While it's great that it switches due to fame, I want and need to see others get in there too And as for clothing thing and making it, no sorry this isn't amar nor is it varamexia, etc. so no thanks on that

While I do agree Pirates need to be looked at...not for the reason stated above.

There has been only 1 captain for over a year (Elven Goddess..all Hail the longest living Captain in history).

It is near impossible to pirates to fail unless the captain forgets to send. Bring back the pirate weapons as drops and mainlanders will have more incentive to fight them and give Deedar (and others) a chance to be captain.

There are some awesome idea above on how things might improve but moderation is best in my opinion.

Edit: one way to determine Captain is the player that gets the most -Fame for a month is Captain for the next month ..but can not be captain again for another 3 months...That will change the captain every months (2 invasions worth)...Give a mix of pirates the chance to be captain. Could be changed to 3 monthly (roughly 6 invasions)and only be captain once a year. Failed invasion means second place gets captain or last month/s captain gets reinstated. (only way player can be pirate captain more then once). Just some random idea.

The down side..is current pirates with high Neg fame, they lose out big time.

Edit 2 (for Serendibite post below): That is well done Ben, a much better example of what I was thinking (was chasing bunny so only did a quick, off the top of my mind, alternative to pirate captaincy).

Edited on 27-03-2016 04:46

Edited on 28-03-2016 01:17

to Loki, I had been contemplating a means of a possible change to captaincy, I like the idea explained here, could we not do it by terms? similar to a president or prime minister?

say every year Jan 1st is a new instance, every instance a pirate has the option to be captain for so many terms (Terms being roughtly 2 invasions?)

maybe once they have had their term, the code can randomly generate from players who have contributed to the Pirate SH this term, the more you donate can help but does not overly affect your chances of being selected)


once you have served maybe 2-3 terms you are no longer an option in the randomly selected players.

So it is not so much the neg fame you have but the contribution you make.

maybe a new feature for neg fame could be implemented? such as a pirate store?


an example of my idea is below using player names I know.

Say Deedar is Captain, he has sent one invasion and is about to send the second in a day.

once the second hits the mainlands he is sent a message saying thank you for your contribution to the pirates blah blah blah....

once there is no captain the code will recognise all pirates who donated to the pirate SH this term (1 month or 2 invasions)

the players who donated are as follows

ElvenGoddess: donated 20000 individual items and spent 5 hours working in Pirate SH

Kordon: Donated 12,000 individual items and spent 40 hours working in SH.

Nessifarshadow: 18:000 individual items and 25 hours spent in pirate SH


from these 3 who donated or spent time in the SH the code will randomly pick one of them to be the next captain.


once they have sent their invasions the same thing happens again.

if however the point reaches that no new players have donated or contributed and all players have served their terms, the code will automatically generate a new instance instead of waiting till Jan 1st.

Continuing with my holiday updates...

Easter updates:
--new flower each year: Lily, Lilac, Iris
--the ability to make an Easter egg basket from the colored eggs, similar to making bouquets
--Easter bunny gives out 3 Locked wooden eggs each time similar to Jack Frost and Locked Christmas presents

Christmas:
--new flower each year: Holly, Mistletoe, Ivy
--new striped fish: (or spotted/rainbow/solid) orange, gold, pink
--ability to find Peppermint Twists...somewhere
--images for the all the current stockings and decorations

Halloween:
--new flower each year: Hel(l)enium, Witch Hazel, Devil's Claw
--locked item drops: crypts, urns

St. Patrick's Day(?!)
I'd love to chase a leprechaun, find shamrocks (don't increase the 4 leaf clover drops though...), unlock a pot of gold, and drink green beer

Edited on 27-03-2016 17:51

Opposite the trophy slot above the shield, we could have a clan crest/pic

Leader chooses the crest in agreeance with the clan and its shown in every members slot.

No to St. Patricks day. Like July 4th it's a holiday that only a few celebrate. If it is implemented others will want St. George's day or St. Andrew's day or St. David's day or any other Saints day. Where would it end?

Any excuse for invasions is good enough for me. ;)

I agree with Terma, I do not mind easter, christmas or halloween but we need to draw a line at the events more celebrated in specific regions.

we can always have random NEM events to pass the time but I would say no to having celebrations on stuff like presidents day, St Patricks day etc etc.

I'd love to see a certain issue be addressed. The issue of logging in and registering accounts. In the last 6 months or so when I enter my details and click log in it can take close to 5 minutes before anything happens. Similarly a clan member of mine has had worse issues with logging in and in some cases is just outright unable to get in. Is this something that can be looked into?

I think the new owner should make the game his own with new quests, events, much like m2h did when he was active.

Longer term updates, I would like to see a new island for the older players, use for the new gems.

Id like to see the outlands made a lot bigger (because why not)and maybe more items, weapons, creatures etc

I would like to see a new Gold Bar smelting location

In this game, I've always enjoyed having stuff to aim for like high level islands, higher monsters to fight, higher fish to cook etc and while there is still plenty that I can't do I would be very happy to see more at even higher levels for me to aim for, but maybe ill reach in the years to come.

I'd like to see another higher level island similar to Anasco, new monsters dropping a new higher level locked item etc, more tropical fish to catch and cook, permanent syriet and obsidian mine etc.

I think another ore will always need to be introduced, and my wish is the next ore is a bright red colour. Blood ore!

I think maybe we could have a second island that you can reach after passing through arch caves 5, there is an exit and then with a new type of boat which obviously takes a ridiculous amount of wood to build, you can sail to this mystery island.

What do you think about adding BBCode buttons when you make or edit a post? I think it would be helpful.

And is my memory wrong or did we have something like that already and it was removed later?

That would really be helpfull Latvian.

Genuine suggestion this time, surprising but valid.

The UI just needs an overhaul. It needs a brand new look to things, ditch the existing and give it a lick of paint (not MS Paint or even Paint.Net) as well as a rearrange to where things are.

The existing one has served but it needs to look fresh and stand out a little more.

I actually agree with Calgor, it would be nice to see a new UI, maybe fresh colour scheme, rearrange stuff to make it look new and shiny.

as we already have group fighting with 1 creature how about to spice things up we have group creatures fighting 1 person or group creatures fighting group players?

I will +1 Calgors idea, as long as there is a 'classic' option.

OH and how about the squirrel randomly attacking the wcer. I suggested this years ago, a small mob like 5hp, really only serves to spice things up for wcers, and only starts appearing at lemo woods or thick jungle.

A squirrel mob would only irritate high level woodcutters. Speaking for myself I have absolutely no interest in training combat unless I have to, and with my woodcutting level I simply dont. It seems a good idea in concept, but if implemented would only be met with complaints I think.

I would love to be able to disable clan stockhouse lines in clan chat.

Nothing worse then chatting away and clan chat is spammed with stockhouse additions, then requests and then removals. A simple opt out of clan stockhouse clan chat and chat flows better. (maybe even a way to get rid of it from clan chat history as well for those that like to stalk clannies in history when they first log in).

The Ability to disable OL logs would be nice as well, for those with slower computers, a large OL log can make the difference between surviving an ambush or doing the walk of shame from Sanfew/Crabs.

I'm not saying this because they are my clannies--but Rogue makes a good point about random squirrel attacks irritating woodcutters, while also taking combat training into consideration as well. Loki's suggestions regarding the options to disable clan SH request and removal lines in clan chat (we see a lot of this during a great conversation), and OL logs makes plenty of sense to me (some of us do not have the most stable or fastest Internet connections).

1. New plot driven quest with interesting story - rewards don't have to affect current game balance


2. New quest incorporating Syrnian Player History into the story.


3. Let's construct a statue of Stalin at Eully.

Lets not.

._. Can we please have coffee and coffee cake items be added into the game?

Idea I just remembered about:
Right now accounts get deleted after 4 months of inactivity. And it is 5 years for donators.

How about an extended inactivity period for players who were somewhat established, let's say TL 500 or a single skill of 70+ or had played for 2k hours? It could be 1 year instead of 4months, for example.

Just an idea. Again, please don't shoot me. Thanks

One small thing i would like to see (due to increased use of touch screens) is a little seperation between the foods and the 'Fight 1 more creature - Fight all creatures - Return to Rose gates' line on the combat screen. Just a bit close atm for large fingers and small screens.

Yes to removing stockhouse info from the clan chat, no to that from history...Squirrel attacks when woodcutting- NO, not everyone likes or wants to do combat, so to have something randomly attack is not a good idea, you'll lose alot of people by that(and yes they could go to lower area, but higher level woodcutters and others in general do like their exp)

If you removed it from Clan, how would you know if someone was emptying your SH? Take onboard it can disrupt Chat though

No to removing SH activity from clan chat.
No to squirrel attacks.

Yes to updates that are smart, well thought out, and do no damage to the game.

I would suggest changing the color of the SH chat activity, instead of removing it.

It is really hard to try and read the chat when there's an influx of SH activity spam.
I strain my eyes every time.

I think clan chat would be easier to read if the SH activity messages were a complementary color to the overwhelmingly bright green color of clan chat, like a magenta/purple.

Plus, I would no longer strain my eyes trying to read the chat

I was suggesting an option to disable SH messages in clan chat. Not removing them completely. I meant - players who don't want to see them, should have way to not see them.

No harm would be done by this.

What LK said above (but was also stated in original post)

I would love to be able to disable clan stockhouse lines in clan chat.

A simple opt out of clan stockhouse clan chat and chat flows better.

The clan leaders and any player that likes to watch green spam is welcomed to keep watching green spam but giving the option to disable it would be a nice feature.

I do not need to see who is adding 50 different items to SH while trying to hold a conversation in clan (or whispers or world chat).

This was a huge problem (although we did all laugh about it) a few days ago when 2 clan members decided to use the clan stockhouse for an OL transport. The first member added 82 different items to elven gate Stockhouse, The OL runner then had to request each item (which took a very long time as they had to search for each item first) and then remove them all. Luckily they did a Trade at Eully and we all had a good laugh. BUT that was 246 clan lines taken up with green spam (and 246 of clan chat history used, see below), an extreme case but does happen.

And as for clan history while not really needed, I donated to be able to see a certain amount of chat history (including clan history). The other day was having a fantastic clan conversation with a Drunken Meirz and later wanted to copy it(was on phone and waiting until I got on home computer), only to find it had been knocked out of clan chat history due to quite a few Addition/requests/removals from clan stockhouse. I can understand this not being needed in inactive clans but TLO rocks the clan chat big (and subsequently the Stockhouse spam). Again while not important, I still think a nice feature.

I wanna see something done about Eckwal. It claims there's a giant bird there, so maybe a new group fight monster that appears every couple hours or has a random chance to appear on the hour. Just, something to do with that bird really

Can I say that #28 "School for trading 75+" isn't necessary... Can you please just open Maadi in the interim? It would take all of 2 seconds to set max level at 9000 or something instead of 75.

I see others complaining that fishing or some other skill isn't fun enough? At least they can train it past the last unlock... It's been something like 4 years now that I could not train trading! It's ridiculous.

I would like to see bitcoin transactions available for purchasing premium points.

I would like to be able to see forums that have been stuck (sticky) to show somehow/somewhere on the actual post. The only way to see sticky posts is in the forum categories (i.e market, General etc) , while no sign of that they are stuck if using the last 30 replies. Just a super small change but a nice addition.

Was not long ago, I asked for a useful guide to be sticky, not realising that it was already stuck *slaps forehead*

2 things- 1. Ability to have more than 1 house at a location 2. Ability to transfer the house to someone vs them buying it(if you're helping out a newbie/someone else and selling for 1gp, it can end up in the wrong hands and that's a bummer)

New places to smelt/smith fish/cook and the like that require no combat. Maybe I'm the only one in Syrnia that wishes to live in peace, but I thought I'd toss it out there.

Some Kind of safe higher Level mine to make more mining exp. As from lv 70+ everything is locked to combat and death. And lv 70 mine sucks.

No to safe higher level mines, it is fine exactly how it is.

Why not? Every skill got a safe high lv Location. And I never said It must be any of the ore that are already available.

Maybe some new ore to add to the game in between lv 85-100.

Currently to mine Plat - Pura you have various safe methods already bestowed upon the game.

Plat - Syriet Arch 4 and Plat can be mined at Abydos.

Syriet -Pura Arch caves 5.

now you will probably reply with well the arch caves are not constant ores and other places get to work all the time.

you are not exactly correct here.

Thabis fishing works off tides and is only available certain times.

There are smithing locations based off temprature that are a fixed time.

Mining is a skill not based off the exact same ideology as woodcutting and fishing.

even if woodcutting and fishing were to be constant skills at high levels it does not mean that mining needs to be as well.

as it features now I think mining is perfectly fine if you want ores from plat to pura.


Another point thrown out is a new ore between 85 - 100 mining.

I am not against a new ore, I like it and I think having an ore mid - high end without it being lvl 135 would be nice.

an idea brought up was myself and some others on the dwarven stronghold thread regarding Dwarfium an ore used to craft dwarven armour.

so I would initially say maybe to a new ore as long as it is done right but no to safe working locations as I feel personally we do not need more.

I would like creature pictures back during combat if that is possible.

You can´t compare thabis fishing with arch cave ore spawns at all. At thabis fishing you still can afk for a lot longer than In arch cave on the ore´s spawned. And I don´t consider Arch cave 4-5 a safe method to get to those ores as it requires a lot of combat Training, but as I am used to mining, everything over lv 70 (in the past) and lv 85 (Now) requires Combat.

Now you will tell me that this game is Combat oriented. But I think there are as much no Combat Players as Combat Players in this game.


I did read your post about Dwarwen armor and like it a lot. But I was thinking more of something like, a ore that gives a bit more exp/timer compared to Gold and Platina abydos mining (Wich is anyways lower then Gold exp wise).
That ore should not be combat oriented at all, and only being able to use it for crafting Tools, wich would be better then Syriet, more durable then any other tool but less timer reduction then Obsidian or pura.

This would give something Special to other skill users who are not combat oriented.

MINING IS WHAT IT IS.

you consider Arch 4-5 non safe for ores well then thats your views on the matter, I happen to think it is safer than outlands which is empty a lot of the time anyway.

lets face facts the only reason you want a safe mine is easy experience, personally I feel mining as it is now is fine, you have outlands, you have arch caves and you have Abydos.

there are hundreds of players above you that have sufficed with this set up and many more who have gotten decent levels with this set up.

if you want ores plat plus do like everyone else and train combat or sit in arch, it is what we do. we do not consistently whine for a safe ore spawn because we are too lazy to get the levels for outlands or arch.

and another point of outlands it is dead a lot of the time, there is literally nothing wrong with outlands right now so once again do like everyone else who wants the ore.

make allies
go out naked with a gold pick and record times of consistency with large cl players.
join a clan that can protect you.

there are many alternatives than to introduce a safe mine because you feel too lazy to consider doing what everyone else does and has done for many years.

quick calculations

if mining syriet was a safe mine at the same timer as puranium that would be around 13 minutes.

thats roughly 4 ores an hour so 4000 exp/hr

I will grant that does not seem much at all on paper.

I still do not think I am all for a safe spot to mine the high end ores or even a new ore.

there is so many who have worked it this way, I suppose it needs to change one day but I would still consider this easy exp and ores.

if you want a safe mining spot that is better than gold and plat to me that just sounds lazy like you do not want to put the effort in.

I think personally keep it as it is, if there is a new mine then what ever so be it.

Not sure what made you that MAD to go on a rampage after my Response.
But not even fun going into a Argument with you as you can´t Keep calm.

Well, I´m still for it. Some mining improvement. Better exp/new ore.

The crowding time should be revisited, especially for new players. In its current iteration it punishes new players while having little to no effect on high level players, giving new players no reason to stay.

it still has the same effect on higher players. everyone is susceptible to crowding? granted leveling up decreases your timer, but that's because newer locations have greater timers. In addition, high level locations have a greater minimum timer.

Crowding effect is calculated for all players, but that does not mean it affects all players equally. It is based on player level, the difficulty of the task, and the number of players working at the location. A player of high enough level can outstrip the effect and receive no penalty from crowding depending on circumstance. Which is fine. However if the goal is to attract and retain new players, this effect is going to dementedly affect their progress more severely then an experienced player.

Can you elaborate on how a higher level player can outstrip the effect and receive no penalty?
As far as I'm aware, whatever the level, you still get th st crowding effect.
I found crowding a factor in motivation for levelling up to reduce my timer. In addition multiple locations for skills at low levels exist, just down to a new player making the effort to find it, and get that rewarding lower crowding.

The higher the level the shorter the timer, until the point that you hit the minimum timer. However the reductions for additional levels continue to calculate even if you are at a minimum timer. Crowding adds 2 seconds (if I recall correctly) per additional player working there. At a high enough level this is generally over come by that continued reduction, and that's before you calculate in things like tools that reduce your time (i.e. why one uses an puranium tool over a obsidian and obsidian over syriet and so on).

No, whatever the level, crowding still affects you. If you're a level 100 woodcutting at isri with 15 others, min timer will be 30 seconds but crowding gives you an actual timer of 60.


Edit

I've been informed that at a high enough level, crowding is indeed cancelled out. Apologies

I'd start with adding https as optional way to login/use site.
At this point, someone who logs in to Syrnia without VPN on an open wifi...
And that probably sums up the average player in a hotel, etc.

@Fabius

My apologies, I was not mad or in a rage, I was just emphasizing a point I brought up in forums, in world chat the like 50 times it has been brought up about a safe mining location.

I will advocate no safe mines for high end ores.

I am not saying change should be ignored, nor am I saying you are wrong for suggesting this idea.

I am merely on the opposite side of the fence, whilst you have your views and arguments, so do I and there is no ill will or bad blood between us, I would think discussion is a means of progression.

I am not entirely against a new ore or mining spot if I can be shown that it is in fact a decent move without affecting how easy it is to mine the high end ores.

you bring up valid points, I would think I have done so as well, I feel the discussion has potential and will happily continue to discuss it so now we have both voiced our points lets maybe see the alternatives to try and make it work?


possible alternatives

the dwarven ore (Lvl 80 mining)

possible safe mine with limitations weekly on how much can be mined?

@Benguin

Thank you bud, as you know always a pleasure to talk about Things with you.


I still have some Arguments for a safe syriet mine, but won´t mind em as they won´t help me to prove you wrong


Well, about the new ore, whatever it is called, or whatever Level it has. What would be the difference from the normal armor, as this one is also smithable. Just increasing it´s stats on the Armor would be overpowered? I mean, most of the stats fit each other from ore - ore and increase normaly. So adding a stronger armor would just make the higher Level ores useless, or am I wrong?

Thats why I mentioned the idea of Tools only. And a ore available for few hours a week as with thabis fishing is a good idea.

not at all, in theory you cna have diversity within the same levels and structures, if elven is level 35 special armour maybe have the dwarven ore about level 70 with the armour pieces the same levels as gold?

armour stats may be slightly better in some areas.

for example

Armour Piece

Gold stats

Level 56: Sabatons: 10 Armour points
Level 57: Medium Helm: 11 Armour points
Level 58: Small Shield: 13 Armour points
Level 60: Hands: 8 Armour points
Level 62: Medium Shield: 14 Armour points
Level 63: Chain mail: 25 Armour points
Level 64: Legs: 17 Armour points
Level 65: Large Helm: 13 Armour points
Level 67: Large Shield: 16 Armour points
Level 69: Plate: 28 Armour points

total armour wearing full suit at def 69: 92 armour points

Dawrven stats
Level 56: Sabatons: 9 Armour points
Level 57: Medium Helm: 11 Armour points
Level 58: Small Shield: 13 Armour points
Level 60: Hands: 10 Armour points
Level 62: Medium Shield: 14 Armour points
Level 63: Chain mail: 25 Armour points
Level 64: Legs: 20 Armour points
Level 65: Large Helm: 13 Armour points
Level 67: Large Shield: 16 Armour points
Level 69: Plate: 30 Armour points

total armour wearing full suit at def 69: 99 armour points

this would be 7 more armour points but the difference can come from formula similar to how pura works, might need a large recipe, ores might not be that common, costs could be higher than smithed gold pieces.

there are ways to balance out stats even if one sied is awarded more stats the other might be cheaper, the other might be just as good with durability if not better.


you see what I mean? we can easily add new ores to low level areas without affecting the formula between ores.

I see what you mean. But adding a whole new ore and Armor set for just 7 Points in Armor? I hope you see my Point there.

I think the only way of doing so is giving a buff like it works with Dragon Armor? (While you fight your defence increases or am I wrong?)
But if something similar to that is add, it would make the armor more OP and would totaly ruin Gold market probably. Even if the ore is available for some time, the high Level Players would be able to mine a lot of it with minimal timers.

I think there should be another solution, even when 7 Points of armor are not less. I am stuck there. :/

I have seen suggestions over time for armours that gave buffs when a full suit is equipped.

so say for example the stats were the same then, the ore was common, the exp might be slightly better than plat (that would be down to crowding)

so lets say for each piece of armour equipped you get bonus exp?

2 pieces 1%
3 pieces 1.5%
4 pieces 2%
5 pieces 2.5%
6 pieces 5%

another thing could be bonus armour?

2 pieces 1
3 pieces 2
4 pieces 3
5 pieces 4
6 pieces 5

I must digress I think we are going too into something else here now though.

back onto the fact of a new ore spawn be it a new ore for 135 or to cover an already held spot.

I believe a spot could be implemented but as shown above a lot more goes into something like this than simply where does it go, whats the ore and how often can you mine it.

this is why I firmly believe a new ore spawn is not a good thing, I would prefer some additions to help around the mining problems for higher ores but I do not think a safe spot like Abydos is a solution.

Well, the abydos mine may have crashed the market but only because no one wants to buy it anymore because of the Smithing skill. Why waste more gp on ore that gives only a minimal increase on smithing/smelting exp. Thats why People still prefer Gold ore over platina. Changes in platina smithing and smelting would increase the use of Abydos. So that Players do not have to sell it to the market.

But as of adding a full time syriet mine, that would for sure Crash the market as syriet is a ore that is much used and gives a decent amount of exp at smithing/smelting.

That would mean if adding a safe syriet mine is the Point, The smelting requirements for syriet ore would have to Change too as the ore won´t be that rare anymore.


I mean, no game ever added some contect and than kept it like it is. Patches are surely needed on the whole side of syrnia to Keep the market/skills/Players satisfied.
So adding a syriet safe mine would do a good contribution to the game if they "patch" some other contet while adding this.


P.S
I can also explain why I think "patching" the Smith skill would help both the Smiths and the miners and also Keep the market stable and demand for syriet goods.

There was me thinking the last update brought new high leveled ore, high level locations and high level creatures as well as high leveled cooking, high leveled armour x 2 (puranium & dragon).

taking that into consideration, a new high level ore isn't required.

Id like to see something that can benefit all players not just the high leveled miners and combatters.

Not sure if Suggested.

More freedom and Privileges with SH permissions.

currently there is no option to have access to SH logs and not the other perks that come with the SH.

what I would like to see is a set up that can set individual members for individual perks.

for example if one member has permissions to SH they may not need permissions to approve or see logs.

if someone wants access to logs, they may not want or be allowed access to SH without approval.

I think this can easily be sorted and categorized but I would like to see this.

1. NPC Thieving

A town where you could pickpocket NPC characters or raid an NPC store. Be able to develop the skill like any other level appropriate site.

2. The Easter Bunny Suit

Would be nice to see the Easter Bunny drop pieces of a suit like the witch does. Each piece adds -1 per piece added (arithmetic multiplier) so if you get all 7 pieces the only way to get a -49 tt suit.

Bunny Ears (helm)
Furry vest (chest)
Big Bunny Carrot (weapons slot)
Bunny Egg Basket (shield slot)
Furry legs
Bunny feet
Bunny paws

You just want an excuse to dress up like a wabbit >.<

I don't need an excuse Bats, just the costume

Outlands update!!!!

I'd love to see most of the missing skills added into the outlands. Somewhere to get trading/con exp, perhaps free or at a reduced price. The ores that are missing, like silver and gold. Fishing spots that don't require a boat, but maybe require a rod or a net since a boat is too risky for fishing. Maybe a farming deal as well, with random harvests places in the outlands. A place to train thieving would be quite welcomed as well, since it would follow in with the thieving guild quests that go in the outlands. A speed training place like catching monkeys would be cool as well, but a different type of creature and actually make the exp better than walking. Monsters added somewhere that you could fight like the bunyip, perhaps a new creature that has some pretty awesome drops to make it worth the risk (since you'll be in a fighting screen and have a huuuge disadvantage).

These are all quick suggestions on things that could probably be easily added.

A big thing I also think is needed is a change for fighting people who are training skills. Being one of the more active killers of ol miners, I can say that they are at an extreme disadvantage and I would like to see a timer change on fights that involve someone training a skill. Perhaps 3-5 seconds if someone involved in the fight is training a skill instead of the usual 2. This would make it almost impossible to kill people who are actually paying attention to their screen and would increase the amount of people who skill train in the outlands. The timer would go both ways to not give an advantage to people who are mining. This could definitely be reworked, but something should be done to make outland skilling more survivable for people who have the levels to survive 2/3 hits, but might look away for more than 5 seconds.

Edited on 07-05-2016 17:16

Oh, and a challenge battlemage. Sorta of a gladiatorial pit where people or groups could go settle their differences (or bragging rights) and would include side bets.

Simple update to Castle Rose.

There are many different options there such as the Tavern, the Fountain, etc. but after using them for their respective quests they lose their use.

I think the tavern should have some sort of Rose Wine or Rose Ale at least. I mean what kind of Tavern has no alcohol?

Balcares, you apparently have never see A Christmas Story. Not self respecting guy would wear a bunny suit. What other holidays can we celebrate? Obviously nothing associated with just one country.

Before I answer Shinji. Still studying phrasing.

Could webbed items be examined for contents?

They are very hard to get but when you do and you get 34 gp, seems the reward for rarity is way off.

I don't think it's been mentioned but I think there is a space for an extra skill to make it upto 16 skills to work, Would be fantastic to have another skill to work although I have no suggestions yet as to what that could be

16th skill.

Apothecary
An apothecary dispensed remedies made from herbs, plants and roots. Medieval physicians were expensive and a priest often held this occupation, often the only recourse for sick, poor people.

Astrologer
An astrologer studied the stars and planets but regarded as a mystical person

Bottler
a bottler had a responsible occupation and was in charge of the bottlery which was intended for storing and dispensing wines and other expensive provisions.

Brewer
someone in charge of brewing the wines and ales.

Clothier
A clothiers made clothes for the nobles and required having a knowledge of various fine and expensive materials


another concept is Knight/Pirate

Knight if you are a mainlander, Pirate if you are a pirate.

these levels allow players to become either Kings Guard or First amte, first mate is the captain that allows the development of pirate invasions.

Kings Guard allows reinforcements of the islands that will help defend against pirates.

this concept will be thought about and discussed in greater depth in Loki's Pirate ideas.

Manual implementations that allow us certain functions offered on fan sites.

I love Tlgrounds that and DW-HQ have always been my go to for extensive information building but I would like to see the manual incorporate some features that the fansites have.

I am not talking about the calculators or the tools but simple navigational stuff that can help accumulate data from the manual effectively.


Examples

There are various methods I would think would work is the following.

have information on towns that can be accessed through an interactive map hosted on the game server.

this will work similar to how tlgrounds does it with maybe a navigational menu somewhere to select a place from an alphabetical list?


reasoning

Overall Tlgrounds is no longer reliable, the information and interactivity is good, there are some areas within the information that clash with other information, there seems to be a severe lack of updating going on and most recently there has been downtime of the site.

I think if the manual were to be more interactive it would work out better overall for the game and new players as we no longer rely solely on one place for information that may well be questionable.

I want to see the battlemage improved on.

I think an update that would let you swim in the ocean, maybe add a shark attack randomly when you swim that way you can earn speed experience and possibly attack if you add the shark attacks.

I would like to see cooking getting a revamp, and if possible getting a chance of dropping some loot. Like a fish that had swallowed a pearl or something..

There is a small miscalculation in the timer of the swordfish that i'd also like to see adressed ^_^

I want an Assassin (NPC) that is extremely expensive that i can pay to go take a hit out on someone.... or better yet that i can pay a flat fee too to go thieve someone and bring me a share of what he stole from them...

i would love if the lost password link was moved a bit. i hit it all the time when trying to log in on my phone.

other than that i would love to get a bot check button. one like the reborn have most of all, but movodas aint to bad either show up some time before your bot check actually shows up

I'm new but would be good to use paypal.

How about having a button to force the bot check pop-up? Having to log-out and back in to force the bot check is kind of annoying--especially since it doesn't always work and you have to log-out and back in 10 times just to get the pop-up.

To have full overview of stockhouse items (In clan Options), same as with a Extra stats donation and items in a house.

To have categories in houses: Body armor, Leg armor, uncooked Food, cooked Food etc.

How about set farms so players get a 'Sent by the game' Message immediately after their crops are ready to harvest? That would be AWESOME!!!

It's annoying to leave my gathering location to go to my house with the farm to check it daily only to see that the crops aren't ready to harvest yet--especially if my gathering location was really really far away.

EXAMPLE
Sent by the game

A helpful Syrnian runner tells you:
Dear Samael,
Your Radish at Eully are ready to harvest. Please harvest your crops soon or they may spoil.

I'd like to see the number/level of creature orbs that can be summoned at a particular location to be tied to the combat level required to reach that location.

During my time at Rose Mines, I've been accosted by Gold Scale Gamans several times, and have seen high level invasions during halloween/christmas events. My combat level is 22, very low for the game, but more than high enough to reach the mine. If someone comes along and drops a high level creature orb, what can I do, besides log out of the game?

We're starting to see new players coming into the game. How many of them are going to die and quit due to high level invasions being spawned at low level locations? The low level islands need to be made low level again, if we want to keep the incoming players.

Borington - surely you can just move location or work attack so you can fight the gsgs

If its a group fight you can ignore and keep working

Not a very important one, but a nice touch.

Maybe something with the syrnia time, a bit like the floating chat, but at the top.

Syrnia Time :

or similar

Mezno is the Thieving island as it is home to the Thieving Guild.
Appropriately, when you fight at Berian you have Rogue's, Assassin's and:

Witch Doctor's????

Could we get those renamed? Please?

Maybe:

Highwayman
or
Cutthroat
or
Night Stalker

Something more thievy anyway.

I realize this is very minor, just a pet peeve of mine. But maybe something easily done and adds to the context of the game.

Thanks to the staff as ever. I hope everyone who reads this is having a great day.

I vote 'Highwayman'

I wish that when you farm. You could just click once to harvest all grown crops. Then having to go thru them individually.

i want fighting pictures again

I am new here to say the least. Well an old player returning & I have actually spoken to M2H at my work. (I work at Ziggo, Dutchies will know what that is) And what I have heard, is that he actually sold Syrnia to an partner, well that is what he actually told me.

Possibly add "Ranging" as a new skill.

Wood could be used to craft arrows in combination with a metal (bronze, iron, etc.) for arrow tips.

This would give more use to wood and would give smiths more value as well.

new layout options click and use'.

The Most Important Update of All

Fix a wrong that was done all those years ago. Return white to world chat. Make region that god awful brown.

If you fix it, they will chat.

I have an idea for a new island dont shoot me down, it is just a few thoughts and of course would need alot more thinking and fine tuning

this would be a level 100+ island.
it would include all game skills with new monsters for combat with some new drops of items or new chest types with higher level item needs such as the new wood or new fishing net, ores of higher levels gold etc)
a new type of wood for woodcutters with higher level seeds for farmers.
this wood would be used to make new fishing boats and possibly rods to fish new higher level fish.it would also be able to be used to make houses another tier bigger than we now have which would keep the constructing business moving forward
fishing would or could possibly include a chance to dredge up a chest.

the Island would also have a high level university for researching trading and magic skills ( magic skills might need suggestions of types of skills as im not a magician ;) )possibly construction also.

houses shops and guild compounds could be built on the island and the island would be accessible to pirates giving those nasty swashbucklers somewhere else to go ;)
thieving of course would derive from the new chests and also those sneaky pick pockets that we have in our syrnian world all over lurking in the shadows. they will of course be sent to jail for their dastardly deeds if caught
you can walk around the varying locations on the new map to gain some speed levels as is the case of course on any of our known islands
the cooks would have some lovely new higher level fish to cook perhaps using a mix of old and new wood or new wood and coal.
lets not leave out or poor smiths who have been kept in the dark in AC and give them a place to smith a new high level items ( would of course need to be determined) and items they can smith now at lev 100
and now the part you have of course been waiting for my favorite skill of all mining.
mining is a skill that has long been one of question and comment regarding change, especially the ols syriet aspect of the skill.
i hope with my thought put in to this it may become an acceptable part to all.
at present there are 10 types of ores that im aware of, correct me if im wrong.
in order for you to be able to mine platina ores and above on this new island you must first complete a grueling quest to show you have the true mining heart.
the quest will run for quite a while and yes you will need to be able to cope with the time warp, sending your thoughts back to when you first picked up that very first bronze pickaxe.
you will need to bring that and all the other pickaxe levels with you because youre going to have to mine your way up to have the right to freely mine platina, syriet obi and pura ores.
the quest will begin with you using your bronze pickaxe to mine the first layer into the deepest mine you have ever encountered in your life!
you will need to mine your way to the top!or is that mine to the bottom? ores you have gathered in the past dont count here and if you leave the island to mine other locations those ores will not count, your quest will not restart it will be here when you return just as you left it.
the amount of ores you need to mine for each next level access will of course need to be determined by our math gurus who can make this quest seem like there will never be an end but of course you will break through each level in turn using of course the varying levels of picks you have used in your past as you go deeper and deeper into the cave of hopes and dreams dreaming of getting to those ores you want to be able to mine without having to look over your shoulder for threats of death ;) lol but beware, you will have to clear the platina ore amount to get to syriet and all other higher ores just as you had to drudge through those low level ores.

i hope the new island thoughts i have at least have helped to open up everyones imagination to what would be a very fun and exciting addition to our beloved Syrnia

Would be nice to have an alliance chat

As of now, i'd settle with any, really.

When in combat, if the botcheck appears, return us to the Fight Screen, not to the town screen.

I'm not saying back into combat, rather:

Fight 1 Creature, Fight All, Return to Town


That screen.

Currently, this is not consistent. Sometimes it does, sometimes it boots you out to the town.

^ if you finish a fight when you get a bot it sends you to the town.

if you are mid fight when you get a bot check it finishes the fight and continues combat if you are fighting all.

something along those lines anyway

Alliance chat is the best idea since puranium. Make it so!

I second the alliance chat

I'd like to expand on it, allow people to make their own chat, as a donation option. However you can be invited to someone else's chat for free. You can only be in three different chats at any one time.

ya want to chat, go to a specific chat site or all join the same clan, or whisper.

Id prefer the updates were specifically expansion related

Hard to use another site for chat while your in the outlands with other allied clans, nuthouse.

New skills

Care to elaborate on what kind of skills you'd like to see implemented?

Had a thought
When the pay for bonuses that do not effectively change the game opens up


I would love to pay for a reminder service.

by this i do not mean a instant bot check or anything

when your bot check comes up ether the game plays a sound or opens a pop up saying bot check ready or something.


you would still have to enter the bot check.

but would make it easier to remember like if your watching a movie or playing a slow paced game like civ or something.

Again you would still have to do your own bot check as in type the numbers in so on it is purely a easier reminder.

The other one i thought about is a warning if you afk fighting maybe have a pop up window or sound that tells you when you drop below 1/4 life but have it so it isnt as obvious so that you still have to be there to pump your life back up.

Not sure about the second one but the first one with the bot check i really like the concept and should be easy enough to code in.
