@OneStoryToMany: The magic mastery thing.

@experta:
  • Everyone has an inventory by default. The bags are kinda... There already. No basis for having gold being an anomaly in a world that is essentially identical to that of the game's, but is fundamentally a fantasy world of its own.
  • I don't... Think former hacker of the game is the best way to go about a char. IP bans, account bans... You ain't gonna be leveling a char for very long if they keep IDing them. Also, I'd think that such a popular and expansive game would have a GM force that was on-point about this kinda stuff.
  • Backstory and current ign are, as a result... No good imo. Like, the whole 'trapped in the Void' thing itself is fine, but the prelude to that ain't. You could just as easily have made the character that race on the spot and built offa that. Level manip is interesting, though.
  • The RP takes off once the patch hits live. All are global, so you can't crack source if it hasn't been released.
  • Those skills are... Hrm. Well, the level manipulation one was okay, as far as I could tell. Harness is a tad... Well, broken is a good way to put it. Spontaneous crafting feels like a cop-out. Everything else, given what you're putting out there, seems alright.


That's all for now, but I might have more to say later.

Edit: Okay, to add on:
In most online games, mods are usually client-side; they include things like sfx alterations, model changes, and so on and so forth. Since these are all client-side, the server doesn't flip, because you're the only one being affected by them. Something on the magnitude that you're suggesting would involve client-side mods and know-how on how to fix the packets that you own computer is sending. Modding a char to multi-race without immediately assigning that at the start of the game would cause the client to, more likely than not, cause the server to bug out and boot said account. Even with the bypass, the packets aren't being altered, so the server will freak upon connection. In essence, the character would never make it in the first place and would probably be about as buggy as hell if it ever made it onto live. Furthermore, it's not as if it's hard to patch fixes for those hacks in; game companies hire hackers all the time to hack the games, then create fixes for the breakthroughs that they make.
...
Or so I'm led to believe, given what I know about networking from my classes and what I've learned from my friends who are taking classes in systems and networking.
I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it feels like the whole 'hacker' thing wouldn't fly. I can't accept something that goes against common logic like that without a VERY good reason. Also because it tehnically wouldn't work in the first place, but my point stands.

Ok, working on history and personality now. I pretty much know what I want, but I haven't typed it yet. I'll have it updated by tonight.

Alright, that's fine. I still need more characters to come in so I can figure out how everything's going to be distributed and how I'll be directing things, so... Yeah.

Still needing people. =3=;;

You'd be surprised how easy it is to do whatever you want with the code of a MMO game, especially if it's old for instance like WoW But yeah, it's true that a patch usually manages to clean those things up. But its not like the patch particularity targets something, it just does a hard reset to something new, to put it simply, the old version thats modded just gets ignored. Making changes that are not auto patched is a lot harder and time consuming which is why no one would bother for a simple game. It's true about what you said for the gold thing tho, it's completely arbitrary, I added it cuz it would create a lot of fun situation where you cant pay bar tabs, or for a night in the inn, it's always fun and comical to have a stick like that at your disposal xD I thought I'd bring something a bit more different as a char but if you are not ok with it thats cool. Have fun with the RP ^^

Well, to be fair, it was released in 2018 in-RP, but I won't press the issue any further.
Thanks for understanding. Good luck to you in the future.

Okay, that's good.

Well, if I can't get, like, maybe four forms total tomorrow, I'll push off the stuff until either late that night or Sat morning.
Oh, and @Bigg Slamm, since we have the spare time now, could you form the personality into a bit more of a cohesive paragraph, please?
