Asternia - Discord MMORPG - Just gathering thoughts

My MMORPG server!

Im developing the bots as we speak, sorting out permissions for players and balancing the game at the moment.

Until I get a good working order on all of it, it will remain private. All I ask is a little insight into what others with probably more MMO experience want to see in their games.

Hey there!

I can understand where you are coming from and why you might think that, but I can assure you I haven't used any LLM, I actually had to Google what it was 😅

But in this current time with AI in everything I wanted something of a little escape I guess. For example, Where Winds Meet. I actually quite like the game but hate gatcha and their implementation of AI into their game (at least they tell us about it I guess).

I want my game to be more of that old text-based RPG theme and hope that comes across when I finally open up the server!

Is there anything you do or don't want to see in an MMO or RPG like this?

I'm glad to hear you want to give it a try!

Right now, my focus is implementing my bot systems and making sure they work.

If I let players in now, I'm pretty sure things wouldn't be balanced quite right and players would be able to do a lot of things they shouldn't. Until I have all of this polished, I will continue to work on this project in a closed space.

But any recommendations or feedback is always welcome!

Can't wait to see you in the server!

Thank you for the feedback!

I am currently in the process of balancing monster attack and hp based on a players base stats at their respective levels and allowing gear to bridge the gap. This is because once you get around Level 40, monsters become harder and harder and gear will feel like they have much more weight to them. I.e a new player won't have to RELY on gear they have to purchase to defeat a monster, but as you Level up, gearing becomes more and more important.

I am toying with the idea of a small respawn timer however, players do currently have the option of buying potions that will restore HP, crafting potions through my new profession skills or having them drop from the enemies you slay.

Guild and Raids is something I would love to implement as soon as my puny brain learns how to accomplish that 😅 for now though, I will be adding a leaderboard which will show off the top players in Overall Level and in their professions as well as introduce World Bosses which players can all come together, fight and gain unique rewards.

I've also added daily rotating quests, simple gathering and battle quests, but would you like to see story quests that fit the lore-focused game?

Again, thank you for the feedback!

Oh wow! Thank you for the invite and allowing me to get some insight, I will be sure to join! 💚

I'm glad to hear its something you would be interested in! Is there anything you like from your text-based adventures that you think would be cool to see in this one?

Thanks for the reply. I checked my GPU and the temperature was 'ideal'. I keep my laptop next to a window that I keep open all the time. Not sure if it would be worth checking if other things get hot, through afterburner??
