Byte Me:
Julie!!!
AngelicOne:
Day!!!
AngelicOne:
hehe
Byte Me:
How’s it going?
AngelicOne:
Good
AngelicOne:
Just got all the kids to sleep
Byte Me:
Is that novel? All 6 of them asleep at the same time?
AngelicOne:
Feels like it
Byte Me:
hehe
AngelicOne:
How’s school?
Byte Me:
Eh school
Byte Me:
Turned Tiff into a boy again, mwahaha
AngelicOne:
Lol, she’s the dtiz you were telling me about?
Byte Me:
Yeah
AngelicOne:
Get in trouble again?
Byte Me:
Didn’t get caught
AngelicOne:
Best way
Byte Me:
I think so too
Byte Me:
And your game?
AngelicOne:
I’m working on a new class for it
Byte Me:
Yeah?
AngelicOne:
Paladins
Byte Me:
No way, really?
AngelicOne:
Yep
Byte Me:
That’s so cool – a Paladin school is moving nearby
AngelicOne:
OMG really???
AngelicOne:
They’re real?
Byte Me:
Yep
Byte Me:
Haven’t met any myself yet
Byte Me:
There’s like this whole order and they have blacksmiths and clerics too
Byte Me:
But all the pallies are male
Byte Me:
Everyone else it doesn’t matter
AngelicOne:
Cool
AngelicOne:
Clerics huh?
Byte Me:
Yeah
AngelicOne:
I was thinking of introducing a healer class, priest or cleric or something
AngelicOne:
Do you know much about them?
Byte Me:
Hmm, not really
Byte Me:
I know more about the clerics because one of them turned out to be a slayer
Byte Me:
Pallies and slayers are akin – both are called
Byte Me:
But clerics is a voluntary profession, hehe
AngelicOne:
Cool
AngelicOne:
So what can they do?
Byte Me:
You going to give me the third degree and steal real life stuff for your game?
AngelicOne:
Yes
AngelicOne:
Why not?
AngelicOne:
hehe
Byte Me:
hehe
Byte Me:
Well Gwyn – the cleric/slayer – she’s got some Bless power
Byte Me:
(she’s also a hydrokinetic mutant)
Byte Me:
So she can create her own Holy Water on the spot
AngelicOne:
Oh! A mutant too?
AngelicOne:
Wow, talk about cross-classing
Byte Me:
lol
AngelicOne:
Hehe
AngelicOne:
Sometimes it feels like I don’t look at the world normally anymore
AngelicOne:
Like it’s just some big real life MMORPG
Byte Me:
forgive my ignorance… MMORPG?
AngelicOne:
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
Byte Me:
Ohhhhh cool
AngelicOne:
Like Everquest or World of Warcraft
Byte Me:
Okay neat
Byte Me:
I didn’t know they had a name for that
AngelicOne:
Heh, whatever happened to the internet junkie I used to know?
Byte Me:
She got caught up in weird things like vampire slaying
AngelicOne:
Hehe
AngelicOne:
Maybe I should introduce a new class ‘slayer’
AngelicOne:
I was thinking assassin, though…
Byte Me:
hehe
AngelicOne:
Although I was also thinking about barbarians, but how would assassins/slayers and barbarians differ from fighters?
Byte Me:
Welllllll… fighters are like the classic melee fighting class
AngelicOne:
Yeah
Byte Me:
and assassins would be a bit more akin to thieves, so like a thief/fighter hybrid
Byte Me:
and slayers would have a fighting against demon bonus
AngelicOne:
Pallies have that
Byte Me:
and barbarians would have more, I dunno… I’m a psycho killer thing going
AngelicOne:
lol
Byte Me:
Oh ok
Byte Me:
well, yeah I dunno
AngelicOne:
I don’t want to go overboard in the classes either
Byte Me:
True
AngelicOne:
Or in the races
AngelicOne:
Although I admit I’m planning pixies and orcs and stuff :D
Byte Me:
hehe
Byte Me:
I know a pixie!
Byte Me:
She’s the school secretary
AngelicOne:
oh man
AngelicOne:
Dude are there no made up creatures any more?
AngelicOne:
This is not helping my ‘the real world is just another MMORPG complex’
Byte Me:
lol
AngelicOne:
Maybe I should introduce aliens
AngelicOne:
actually no, I have no idea how I would replicate Dath abilities
Byte Me:
Yeah! And mutants too!
AngelicOne:
Plus I think the YIRAAS would have a few things to say about that
Byte Me:
aww
AngelicOne:
Hmm… not sure how I’d do mutants
AngelicOne:
Their powers are pretty broad too, even if they don’t have atom manipulation
Byte Me:
Why not make it like, an optional kit, or a quest or something
Byte Me:
Like any race can be a mutant
AngelicOne:
Well… I wouldn’t want a game full of mutants
AngelicOne:
And mutants do have special abilities…
AngelicOne:
If I gave out a fire mutation for example, that added bonus fire damage and defence, why would you go with an ordinary human or elf or whatever?
Byte Me:
Good point
Byte Me:
Well, why not give disadvantages as well?
Byte Me:
So your fire mutant is more vulnerable to ice?
AngelicOne:
Hmm… maybe… I’ll think about it
Byte Me:
Telepathy would be a little redundant unless you wanted to do psionic damage
Byte Me:
Don’t know what a disadvantage of that would be
Byte Me:
Telekinesis could be an extra damage bonus and the ability to loot from a distance
Byte Me:
Don’t know what a disadvantage for that would be either
AngelicOne:
hehe
AngelicOne:
You’re getting into this huh?
Byte Me:
Yep
AngelicOne:
Well, YOUR imput I value, so if you come up with any more ideas lemme know
Byte Me:
Aww, I’m touched
Byte Me:
So who’s ideas don’t you like getting?
AngelicOne:
There are some players out there who do nothing but complain and whine
Byte Me:
Go tell them to find another game to play
AngelicOne:
I have
Byte Me:
hehe
AngelicOne:
But that’s probably not good for business
Byte Me:
bah!
Byte Me:
what’s more important? Business or your sanity
AngelicOne:
Good point
AngelicOne:
hehe
Byte Me:
hehe
AngelicOne:
That was something else I was thinking though… guilds
Byte Me:
Guilds?
AngelicOne:
Yeah
Byte Me:
aren’t they just collections of friends/comrads in arms?
AngelicOne:
lol, something like that yeah
Byte Me:
Well, you have those already, don’t you?
AngelicOne:
yeah, but I was thinking of expanding on the idea
Byte Me:
do tell
AngelicOne:
Okay well, what if the guilds could accomplish stuff
AngelicOne:
Guild-specific stuff
AngelicOne:
Like they could have their own guildhall
Byte Me:
Cool
Byte Me:
but what able newbie guilds? Y’know the kinds that barely get started and then fall of the radar
AngelicOne:
Well, okay, maybe you can’t get a guildhall straight away
AngelicOne:
Like you have to fulfill certain criteria or quests or whatever
Byte Me:
Like number of members?
Byte Me:
or active members?
AngelicOne:
I hesitate to do something like that
AngelicOne:
Cos some guilds can be very tight-knit, and it’s the bonds between the members which are important – not the number
Byte Me:
True
AngelicOne:
But they could get like, special rewards in their guildhalls
AngelicOne:
And when they go up a level they could get extensions and new rooms
AngelicOne:
Like food shops and bars and stuff like that
Byte Me:
hmm
Byte Me:
sounds interesting
AngelicOne:
yeah
AngelicOne:
I don’t know how well it’ll work tho
AngelicOne:
I’ll have to put more thought into it
AngelicOne:
and right now I should be thinking about pallies
Byte Me:
hehe
Byte Me:
If I get to meet one any time soon, I’ll tell you all about it
AngelicOne:
Cool
Byte Me:
They’re still working on the buildings
Byte Me:
The church is done though
Byte Me:
but I suppose that’s kinda the focus point of a lot of what they do, so yeah
Byte Me:
That would be why it’s done first
AngelicOne:
yeah
AngelicOne:
hmm, maybe that’s something the guildhalls can have – a chapel
Byte Me:
sure, why not
Byte Me:
what would be the point of it?
AngelicOne:
I haven’t gotten that far yet, lol
AngelicOne:
But I was planning on introducing churches with the pallies, so yeah
Byte Me:
ahh I see
Byte Me:
sounds like a plan
Byte Me:
Oh darn
AngelicOne:
what?
Byte Me:
I have to go – a slayers work is never done
AngelicOne:
heh okay
AngelicOne:
ttyl
Byte Me:
cya!
