    Since everyone wants their own room, and they want people to be able to visit your room, I just thought of a way we could do it.

    First off, I'm basing this off of ACWW. Okay, so lets say we have an inn in the town. When you go inside you see this NPC behind a reception desk. You talk to the NPC and initiate dialogue, and you say you want to create a new room. You're simply asked your rooms "name", (like your town's name in ACWW) pay some gold, and you're good to go to customize your room (customization is left up to what Max and AveneR can do with Flash...). When you wish to leave your room, you have to initiate dialogue with the door in the southern side of your room. You have two options: Leave the room, or "Open" your room. When I say "Open" your room, I mean it as in how you can open your town gates in ACWW. When you "Open" your room, you're asked a password to set for your room, and then wait around your room for people to come visit. Assuming that we'll be able to Private Message people in GSW, you can "invite" people that way.

    So how does visiting work? Well, you can talk to the NPC behind the reception desk and say you want to visit someone's room. A menu pops-up in the form of a roster of all the different rooms that are open. This is where the name of your room is used, like in ACWW. You select a room, key in the room's set password, and you're free to visit the player in his/her room.

    As a note, you can only have one room. When you've already created a room, all you have to do is talk to the NPC again and say you want to enter your room.

      This system reminds me of Habbo Hotel. If we have the option of player-owned-houses, we should have it like that.

        So, every player gets his/her own room in an inn? That actually sounds pretty cool. Customizing the room would be awesome n.n

            I think the rooms should allow you to set a carpet, which would be any perfect square image on the internet, and you basically set what the URL is for the image, and it would appear as your room's carpet/floor. It wouldn't require any more ram or anything than uploading the maps for GSW, right?

            Also, a few furniture items would be nice, but I think it should be a set limit of four, and you'd choose what you want for each.

            Bed: Cot/Hay/Bunk
            Seating: Chair/Bench/Sofa
            Lighting: Torch/Lamp/None
            Accessorie: Pot/Chest/Sword bin

            Of course, it would be more diverse than that, but you get the picture. Everyone's room would have four items and a carpet, but it would be up to you to change them from the default...for a price, of course.

              The houses in the GS games are a lot more complex than just a bed, a chair, a lamp and a pot.

                Yes, this is something on our feature list, and our initial implementation idea was very similar to yours, WD. I'm not sure if I will have this for the beta, but I am going to try very hard to. I don't know if allowing random images from URLs to be used in rooms, but there will surely be some level of customization.

                  Sounds cool. Sounds even cooler now that Max has said it's possible. I think I would really enjoy this.
                  Also, Spilt is right, the GS houses are more complex than just 4 item and a carpet and thus, I think there should be more than four kinds available.

                    I agree, this sounds like a great idea and even greater if it can be put into reality. Being able to customize your own room? Amazing!

                      SoT, you're making it sound like the best thing since burnt toast.

                        I have a feeling it will probably be better than burnt toast. :s

                            *compeltely ignores Split's post* n.n;

                            Odds are, all the houses are gonna be the same shape-wise, so probably a custom sign can be placed or a custom title under the house. What other things would seem likely to be customizable? I'm out of ideas.

                                The most they'll do is say "Woof!" when you click them for now I suppose. Not bad. Wait, how about monsters in general, like the sprites of Star Magaician. I'd love to have a thunder ball outside my hosue <_<

                                  Were you guys implying that I was burnt or frozen? Anyway, this is gonna be great! Although I do agree that there should be more than four items. And there should be the options of choosing a premade room, you know, just the shape/style of room, and then a choice of a custom room, you make the design/layout yourself, although with restrictions on area. And they would be just bare rooms with nothing in them, except for the walls and/or pillars in the room, nothing else yet, you would do thaat after you chose/made your room.

                                    Building upon my pet idea, maybe you could capture monsters and keep them as pets, kind of like the monster bank in FFTA. Or any other FF games for that matter.

                                        For the overworld sprites, I can rip them, I think I still have some data of GS somewhere. Star Magician, Valukar, Sentinel, Doom Dragon, Dullahan, they're all easy to find.

                                        For clarification, Basically you have your house. Then next to the house you have a small sprite. that can be dog, cat, djinn, dullahan, deadbeard, kraken, kraden... etc.

                                          You could pretend that the huge bosses are like plush toys, kind of like the secret bases in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire.

                                            That works, too. You can click them and they will talk, though. That's what I'm thinking. Like how the old lady says "Hello youngster"

                                              Wouldn't it be awesome if they incorporated Mind Read into the game somehow?

                                                I wouldn't want to mind read near someone else's house, if you know what I mean... :P

                                                  Building upon my pet idea, maybe you could capture monsters and keep them as pets, kind of like the monster bank in FFTA. Or any other FF games for that matter.
                                                  You're getting ahead of yourself there, GSW isn't an RPG or an MMORPG. The most realistic idea would be to buy pets or win them in a competition.

                                                    You talk about incorperating Mind Read...that might actually work. Maybe you could type into the game what you want to appear when your mind is read, so if you're in a bad mood, you could have it say '**** off noob', etc.

                                                      Unless someone who knows GSW better says different, I could see this happening. But probably without the swearing, preferably.

                                                        Mind reading the house that people "live in" could be a way of seeing if the person is in the hosue or not. Maybe it will work like an MSN Personal Message.

                                                            I encourage you all to continue discussing this, as we haven't really thought it out ourselves. At this point, my best guess is that we would probably offer a pre-set list of blank room maps that would allow you to place beds, bookcases, tables, rugs, barrels, etc. how you want them around the room. This "pets"/"dolls" idea is actually not too bad, though I'd have to think of the appropriate way to make that fit into the GS visual style.

There were a few fun items such as balloons, but otherwise it was pretty boring. I hope at least that and much more for the beta test this summer. At the very least the maps will be more interesting and less buggy.

And we should be able to have near infinite number of private rooms, since we won't have typical doors to enter them.

I think it was WD who thought of this. But I would like it to stay as close to Golden Sun as it can, without the picture of our ugly mugs on the wall. :P

                                                                                                              10 TIMES THE SIZE!?!?!?! Isn't that a bit too big...

                                                                                                              Thousands of players? Well, that would be cool, but do that many people know about this?

                                                                                                              Max already said that one day he would be adding more towns... Didn't he?

                                                                                                              And about the shops that sell souvenirs: That one is a must if there even will be decorating your apartment.

                                                                                                              That's all folks!

                                                                                                                  I can't speak for Max but I think he intends to implement different town by having sub-servers? Kinda like Channels in Maple Story I think. Or something. But with the way that GSW's set up, it wouldn't be too hard to just have a tiny road seperating two towns.

                                                                                                                  For the record, GSW got around 30-50 player accounts or something like that. Not to shabby considering it's a fairly quiet project, although it was announced all over the GS community with sites like GSR, GSAR (when it was alive) and Venus and Jupiter Lighthouse.

Keep in mind that there are many houses in each city, so there are plenty of places for people to go to and do things.

                                                                                                                    As will be announced in a month or two, there will initially be a limit to how many people can be online at once until we can raise some money to up the limit. But don't worry about that for now, I'll handle that when the time comes.

Though there is a fine balance between fun and convienance. I would personally find it pretty annoying after awhile to have to sit through a boat trip animation every time I wanted to switch between cities. With teleportation we would probably have some kind of "refresh" time before you can use it again.

Sorta like a Metroline. this could be used for only trans-continental stuff. Dealing with the topic, shops/apartments can be placed easier in small roads and routes that link towns together.

Though there is a fine balance between fun and convienance. I would personally find it pretty annoying after awhile to have to sit through a boat trip animation every time I wanted to switch between cities. With teleportation we would probably have some kind of "refresh" time before you can use it again.

                                                                                                                              With the boat animation, it doesn't have to be very long; take for example LeafGreen/FireRed. It only lasts for about 1-2 seconds.

                                                                                                                                Or, you could have a boat trip between some towns (if there ends up being that many), and a walking path between others. All towns would have a teleporter pad. And for the boat trip, mabey you could have lemurian boats that you could rent for free. You just talk to an NPC, then climb into a boat, and travel to the town you wanted to go to. You would of course have to make a map of the GSW "world" for that, but it would eliminate the waiting time between boat rides.

                                                                                                                                And I wasn't thinking of GSW becoming an MMORPG. I was just thinking of there being a handful of towns. I had to compare that to something similar so as to give a better idea. I wasn't thinking of it turning into an MMORPG like Runescape. I said that in my post.

                                                                                                                                But to give the towns more uniquewity besides a design variation, each town sould have there own game. All towns would have games like the Super luky dice, and the luky dice, but on top of that there could be a different game just for that town. If there were mazes, then mabey a different maze for each town. IF there was a colosso (which would be awesome) then each town should have one so as to keep a balance of people between towns. I emphasize IF in that last sentence.

I mean, I had the idea of having a forest area where there could be a maze or puzzle and near it, a house sporting apartment availability.

                                                                                                                                                          Cos then the owner would have to keep going in and out, like if u were having a party then the host could like sit on the lounge or whatever and wait for the guests to arrive.

Well, you can talk to the NPC behind the reception desk and say you want to visit someone's room. A menu pops-up in the form of a roster of all the different rooms that are open. This is where the name of your room is used, like in ACWW. You select a room, key in the room's set password, and you're free to visit the player in his/her room.


                                                                                                                                                                                This is the best system in my opinion.

Seperate houses for Admins, if not Mods too. Like Max could have the mayor's house, where he could manage users, and same for Nick.

The receptionist idea is much better and I agree with something MD said a while ago, we want smooth before fancy.

The 'secret bases' in R&S hardly had enough room for much. Hopfully we will at least have 100 spaces to move around in, like mabey a 10X10 grid or something. But if there were souvineer shops where you could buy stuff like baloons and dolls and furniture and stuff, there would probably be need of a storage system.

I think there could be some major improvements and I'm not sure that it should be the system we model apartment rooms on. (If they happen)

Not to mention if for some reason you need to rest, you could rest in your room. That would be my addition. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I just don't want to see a complete ripoff. Although, that probably isn't Max's style.

I think there could be some major improvements and I'm not sure that it should be the system we model apartment rooms on. (If they happen)

And they were there just for fun. Good ol' plain fun. That's what games are for, the last time I checked...

But er... What would it actually do? Since we don't have HP to regain, what would be the point in that?

I think there could be some major improvements and I'm not sure that it should be the system we model apartment rooms on. (If they happen)

If u mixed records with someone their base was added to your game and you could battle a computer version of them. :D

I know the Secret Bases are a similar concept, but keep discussion to comparisons please.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      MD, if you look at the Features page on the GSW site you will see that we intend to have a bank which will handle money storage and distribution.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Likewise, we will have a private message system of some kind, though I'm not sure how we might best do that (just through the IM system or through some kind of post office).

Going to a post office makes it obvious that you were going to write a PM to anyone who saw you going there. Not that most people would find it very interesting, but there are some pretty nosy people. :D

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I think PMs should be like the PM system we have here, more of an e-mail sort of thing rather than a live IM. Although Private IMs would be cool, but I think discussing things privately in rooms works better and also takes alot less work on your part. Maybe we can have the option of "borrowing" one of the chat rooms at the Chat House we had in the server test? (I can't really remember much about the Chat House; it's been too long)

It could also mean that you could be checking your mail through the Post Office, for the record.
