[April Fool's] DSB will become a MMORPG
Just running around the dungeon in solitude gets kind of old. Internet multiplayer is obviously the way to go. You can meet up with other players, form parties, and such things. However, part of the fun of DM is leveling up, saving your progress, and such. I think it'll work best if there is a persistent, multiplayer world, so I've decided that the best way forward is that DSB become a MMORPG.
Features I have planned:
A persistent, massive 256x256 dungeon of 99 levels to allow plenty of space for hundreds if not thousands of players
Full Player vs Player combat, in addition to being able to fight monsters, of course
Redone graphics, including much more sexy and scantily clad representations of Sonja, Syra, Chani, Leyla, Wu Tse, Azizi, and especially Tiggy
The ability to farm food monsters as well as fight in the dungeon, in case you'd rather raise and sell crops like one of the greatest games of all time, FarmVille
The ability to catch baby monsters in magical boxes, train them, and release them later to fight for you. Gotta catch 'em all!
An in-game microtransaction store where you can buy Gor Coins, the currency of MMODSB, with your credit card
I hope you all enjoy this exciting new development!

Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
Hey, that sounds a really interesting project !
Sophia, how do you plan to include Chaos in all of this?
Hum ... How do you do that for Azizi? I want to seeSophia wrote: Redone graphics, including much more sexy and scantily clad representations of Sonja, Syra, Chani, Leyla, Wu Tse, Azizi, and especially Tiggy

We already have baby screamers here at the forum, don't we? You want me to train mine? OK.Sophia wrote: The ability to catch baby monsters in magical boxes, train them, and release them later to fight for you. Gotta catch 'em all!
Don't forget Sar coins (we never had a chance to see them without hacking a dungeon ...)Sophia wrote: An in-game microtransaction store where you can buy Gor Coins, the currency of MMODSB, with your credit card

Is there some sort of one-day special offer on all this? I feel I need to sign up today or I run the risk of missing out
Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
Maybe. But if players stay in the queue everything will be in Order.beowuuf wrote:The 99 man raids will create all the Chaos needed.
I wonder :will there be a montly fee? If it´s too much I might consider not buying 2 accounts :/
Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
There's a serious flaw in your plan: Judging by the forum crowd, you should opt for a RAMTOEPORKG - Really At Most Ten Or Eleven Players Only Rat-Killing Game.
And do something (e.g. ban Trantor) about the guy who left his party in the middle of the corridor and forgot to disconnect. He's blocking the entrance to the dungeon.
PS: Also, is there any effect on stats replenishment during sleep if two parties sleep close to each other ?

What Is Your Quest ?
Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
Or a KISAGASS game (kill a skeleton and get a sweet sword)
Actually, stamina goes down if two parties do that... though the portraits get a little redder in the face.

Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
Any discounts for pirates?
No, seriously: will there be an option to purchase a battleship in the game and to navigate through the dungeon with it? It has always been my dream, to pound the dragon with my eight 15-inch guns. Muhahahaha! Even the Lord Chaos couldn't face it and survive.

Hmmm...I was
Spoiler
gonna post an actual proper message about this...then I had a thought that "Hang on a minute...isn't charging RL money on people's credit cards kind of not allowed, seeing how DM is still copyrighted by FTL or whatever?".
Then I remembered the date...
Good one Soph .

Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
I was actually preparing my own April Joke for these forums, but Sophia used the different time zone to her advantage and was faster. Nevermind, I'll keep mine for next year. Moreover, because I usually spam the forums with completely random nonsense comments, nobody would understand the difference anyway.

Snoaring... interesting parameterJoramun wrote:PS: Also, is there any effect on stats replenishment during sleep if two parties sleep close to each other ?
Re: DSB will become a MMORPG
I was thinking on that too... How would you solve this? Indeed, if one player sleeps, time would go faster for him/her (and monsters) while the other player would not be at the same time point. An idea would be to have sleep possible only if no other player is on the same map? but this is not very convenient (what happens if another player enters the same map?)Bit wrote:Snoaring... interesting parameterJoramun wrote:PS: Also, is there any effect on stats replenishment during sleep if two parties sleep close to each other ?
Or sleep could just be forbidden in a multi player game; but I like the idea to surprise a sleeping player with a good fireball
Are there any other ideas?
Re: [April Fool's] DSB will become a MMORPG
If one snoars, the others heal slower - snoaring stays until one gets a slap on the nose again

Re: [April Fool's] DSB will become a MMORPG
Implement either an anti-snore potion or earplugs (worn on head). In Ishar, it would be much easier - the snoring character would be just kicked out of the party.

Yeah, but I'm in a too good mood to battle - that would kill you - you would laugh to death
I just solved a big problem with the DM2-stuff, there is hope again! But that's absolutely offtopic, because it's no april joke.

Hey Bit, you have to show me this! (Gambit will be happy to see a new way of using the DM2 cave wallset )
