Just a few suggestions to drop in, may already be in the server and I haven't seen them.
That's just about it for my suggestions for the server at this moment in time, I'll probably come up with more later, in which case I'll update the thread and then bump it, too.
- NX boss rewards - killing a boss (such as Zakum for example.) will reward the party with a set/randomized amount of NX, possibly something like 2k NX per player?
- More rewards for doing PQs. Remember back in the day when a good 60 people would crowd around Kerning PQ, clicking furiously to get in to go up 20%? That was fun. Adding special rewards to doing PQs (they don't have to be overpowered, but will just be an incentive) will increase the nostalgia the server will actually bring, therefore attracting more players that love nostalgia, but absolutely hate 1/1/1 rates (the competition of this server.)
- WZ edits. I know they dramatically increase the size of the download, and go against the servers idea of nostalgia, which may be why you should probably wait for more dedicated players before doing this - however, the new hairstyles, eyes, chairs and (possibly) NX clothing released by Nexon in the many years since v62 have been adopted as favourites by a great many players - I personally have a friend that refuses to play a server if it does not have the 'Wild Tangles' hair style in game. Later on in the life of the server, it may be a beneficial idea to act upon.
- More professional forums. ProBoards may be a cheap, low-effort way to establish a forum for the server, but once the server begins to gain members, it will stop being a viable method of forum communication. I recommend switching to a much more functional, yet still free, forum software. For example, MyBB.
- An auto-ban system. A relatively easy function to code, that is literally just ban x if (warning) occurs too much. Not much effort, and very beneficial for the server, which will cut down drastically on the amount of posts required to go into the 'Hacker Reports' section.
- A 'tag' system for events. While this is not directly related to the nostalgia/GMS-likeness of the server, it was a feature that was in a server I previously admninistrated on, and it was insanely successful. The idea of the tag system is simply to allow a player to be killed on-hit of a basic attack by another player, allowing events such as 'Deathmatch' or 'FFA' in the XO Quiz map.
That's just about it for my suggestions for the server at this moment in time, I'll probably come up with more later, in which case I'll update the thread and then bump it, too.
would be helpful..
