Silverdale 2D Online RPG

Well well.. seems game has been a bit inactive for the past weeks.

Well no worry, the game is no where near death.. Its just minor slacking from the Development Crew.. since we've had holidays and stuff. Now that school has started.. hehe, we can start working on the game

. As funny as that sounds... Its true.

Anyway, ive had some ideas to entirely remove grinding. And they might actually work..

Okay, first of all Giaken is adding in the Quest System. So the Leveling will be fully based on Questing. And im planning on making alot of quests.

I also had a crazy idea earlier today, which might actually work.. My plans are to remove ALL current random spawns in Areas. Instead we're going to add in a rare Spawn system, which passing through areas will give you or your party a chance of getting attacked by one or more monsters. My plans is to make the world of Silverdale a living world, with Talkable NPC's.. and Monsters which do more than walk around waiting to get butchered untill you gain Level Up.

Fighting NPC's will be considered somewhat.. rare compared to now. You wont know what to expect, and killing an Monster will be Much.. much more rewarding. Instead of having to kill 200 NPC's to level, it might be reduced to 20. And + Quests.. there really wont be much time left for grinding. Monster fights will be much more challenging, but the drop rate will be highly increased..

Im also planning on increasing all size of all Areas.. leaving room for PVP, secret areas.. secret Quests. Very Rare spawns, more bosses.. more dungeons.

We're also planning on redoing the entire Boss system.. Also making it more rewarding, and more challenging. My vision is to make the game somwhat comparable to a classic NES/SNES singleplayer game.. Really focusing on interesting content

I added some new content today.. I'll work more later tonight (I hope).. This is somewhat half an update, cause it only contains the new Graphic files required to view the new items and so on. This is not required to run the game.

Item Added - Expert's Smith Gloves
Item Added - Crystalite Ingot
Item Added - Molterite Ore
New Minining Rock - Molterite Rock
2 Maps Added to Crystalwood Forest
North of Liberton Entrance

Well im back now

.
Seems Giaken, Zamin and Sol (And Justin i presume) have been taking care of Silverdale very well while i was gone.. i was very pleased to see it had been updated, and i was especially pleased with the way Giaken did the Christmas Event.

Now that im back im quite eager to continue work on Silverdale.. Allthrough i wont be able to work on it "fulltime".. as i did before untill January 3th... since yeah i wanna chill and enjoy my holiday a bit

.

But yeah.. i started by adding in Blacksmithing Manuals, which you can buy at the Lupin Workshops. Use the Manual by the Smithing Workbench/Anvil.. or whatever you want to call it. (The Desk with Weapons next to Furnace)

Im also planning on adding more Items to buy at the Liberton Ritcher shop, which i might have allready added while you're reading this Topic... so yeah.

Thats it, we plan on adding the Quest system soon, and fixing Alchemy so it works properly and i plan on making it a major benefit to Wizards and Celestials..

Yeah, see ya in-game i hope!

The ban list has been cleared.

Why? Well the ban code wasn't that great. I fixed it up and will let people off this last time.

If you are caught breaking any of the rules this time around, you won't be coming back.

So because of a mistake I made with the ban list, you are being relieved. It's fun to mess around, but being racist isn't funny. It's annoying and childish.

Also I don't care if you break chat rules in your own privacy, but don't let anybody that doesn't approve of it see it (ie keep it to PMs or map chat if nobody else is on the map but you and your friends).

And if you get banned don't cry about it. That is all.

This Christmas, there is a special item...the Holiday Crowns. When worn, these crown will display a sparkling animation over the player's head.

Crimson Crown

Silver Crown

Gold Crown

Violet Crown

How do you get these crowns?

Simply login during December 23rd through January 1st and you will receive 1 Holiday Token. Then head to Lupin City Square and trade your token for 1 of the christmas crowns!

We actually planned to finish quests and give out christmas rewards..

Which we'll probably still do later, but im just posting saying im going away tommorow on Christmas Holiday with family. I'll be back the 27th, untill the you could say Development is on Hold.

When i get back i plan on releasing some really huge ass update.

So yeah, ive also been quite busy this Holiday.. thats why there hasnt been many updates content wise.. But yeah, see ya all in some days..

And merry christmas and whatever ^^.

With Guilds getting added in we decided to add in an Emblem system.. where you pick an Emblem in Guild Creation, which is shown to all Guild members in the guild menu. Nothing special.. just fancy.

Some previews on how the emblems will look.. Its an 32x32 picture resized to 64x64. So if you guys wanna make your own emblems for your guilds.
Post them in the great make-your-own-emblem topic in Guild forum and i'll add your custom made emblems into the game whenever possible. (Like when new patches arive)
