make Emps world storyline-based.  wouldn't it be great to have 1 long quest that covers the whole story line.

Atm idh any real ideas for the story itself though, if you agree and have a good idea let us hear it.

What a nice, fleshed out suggestion. I bet you thought long and hard before posting it

:kappa:

A storyline? Doesn't that seem arbitrary for a mmorpg? And quests are a ton of work to create. The time it would take to develop this would not be worth the low amounts of people who would actually play the game for the story.

You create a game around a storyline, you cannot create a storyline around an existing game without just taking that effort and make a whole new game instead.

This^. It's too late to create a story line.
I think it is a very good idea, it's just too in the server to try and introduce one.

Emps just doesn't really have enough content at the moment to rough out a story with. And even if we did, wouldn't it be just like RS, basically? ._.

Arab and his camels: 853 BC

 
Arab 1, king of begging, fights a major but inconclusive battle at empty wilderness against his enemy, the ruler of duel-area, arab 2. An begging scribe, recording the event with prt scrn, notes the impressive size of the enemy forces: 63,000 Arabs, 2000 Estonians, 4000 beggers and 1000 Marios on camels. The Marios on camels, the scribe adds, are brought to the battle by Esam121 the Arab.

This is the first known reference to the Arabs as a distinct group. But Emps-World players from Arabia (probably the source of the entire group of beggars) have been spreading through the wilderness of the Edgeville since at least 3000 BC.

Just as hard to understand as The Legend Of Zelda timeline :doge:

You create a game around a storyline, you cannot create a storyline around an existing game without just taking that effort and make a whole new game instead.

We barely have any content if you compare Emps to other MMOs with actual story. All we pretty much have are skills and bosses, which aren't tied to anything really.

But yeah, like Mary said, games are built up on the story that is written in advance. You could just play RS3, most people have no freaking idea how extensive the lore actually is. Sure it'll take you a month or few to reach that point of the game, but it's totally worth it.

Pretty sure it is possible without creating a whole new game. For example tutorial island could have a senpai who trains you before you enter the 'real' world. Once you have left tutorial island your main objective is to help the NPCs of Emps-World by performing tasks for them (= quest system).
By completing quests your charisma will increase and people will start to look up to you. Some people that need help are too superior for you to interact with e.g. the king of Camelot would not be able to be bothered by an unknown newcomer, the newcomer has to gain a certain number of charisma to acces the castle in order to pass the guards and thus interact with the king. This isn't just for NPCs that have a royal background, some NPCs simply will not trust players with low charisma (= quest point system).
Same principle for skills etc.

I'm not saying I want time to be spent on a storyline, I'm just saying it is possible..

It's nice but that would require several checks and several 'levels' of charisma on every account and different interactions for each of those levels. No thanks i'm good. Only a huge team of game designers could actually work with that, like any other mmorpg's reputation system.

the fak? we waited...still waiting* like one and a half year for grand exchange, imagine how long it would take to make this crap -.-

I kinda figured it was almost impossible to do so,but lately there is nothing to do.
but look at rs3, when you set a goal you have to through a lot of quests and trouble but when achieving the goal u don't feel any emptiness like here when getting maxed, because there are still a lot of things to do.

that's the real difference between rs and any other RSPS

Emps or any other RSPS will never get as big as RS. Why? Jagex will simply sue the developers and close the server if they see it as an "threat". Emps has been closed once already and it hasn't been too long since Soulsplit was taken down. Putting that much effort into an RSPS simply isn't worth it.

Also, the developer "team" of Emps is a fraction of the people who are behind RS3.

I wasent gonna play the story line even tho it was made i guess alot of people woudent either.

Anyways this would be an extreamly long feature to develop for a low amount of extream few players who wants it
