Website ideas

[tangar]

Lets write in this topic suggestions about website.

- Add menu to the forums (its very nice to serf forum and website)


CLICK TO ENLARGE

- Add ladder, experience score - similar to ladder in Diablo 2. It would be great to see that my 32 lvl character at 919 place.. After I play one day more he would become 896. Its good stimul to continue playing, to have some competition with other players. Two types of ladder - everlasting and unworldly.
Also may be to add more people to http://www.tomenet.eu/scores.php .. Like top 200.

- Show scores and ladders at main news page (http://www.tomenet.eu). May be even make small feed from forum (all new topics and http://www.tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=704 if peolpe would start to write there)

- add wiki engine (btw tomenet.eu/wiki better then wiki.tomenet.eu because of SEO)

- import im-game chat at the website. Feed only player messages from the game. Make archives of all chat (every week new page). It would give huge SEO boost for the game website (more new content at the website - website would appear higher at Google at several queries)

- http://www.tomenet.eu/links.php "A 'what went wrong?' fix link to http://www.tomenet.eu/downloads/TomeNET-flow.png

Well, here are my comments regarding your ideas.

I'm probably not going to bother adding the main site menu to the forums. The forum and the main site don't really share the same look, so I think it's nice to keep them separate.

A ladder system sounds interesting. We noticed there are more than 2000 characters on the server. The current highscore list isn't really adequate for that number of characters.

I'm not sure how useful a wiki would be since we already have the forums and the guide. Since the active player base is quite small, I think a wiki wouldn't have many contributors.

Importing and archiving the in-game chat would have some privacy issues, so that's probably not going to happen.

I fixed the broken link on the links page. Good catch there.

Thanks!

Another thingy - Mumble doesnt connect to the server. If it doesnt work atm may be better to update this topic: http://www.tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=124

Use the address 'europe.tomenet.eu' when connecting using Mumble. There's more information in the guide: http://www.tomenet.eu/guide.php?chapter=2.4

Right now I recognized why we really need a wiki for a guide - http://www.tomenet.eu/guide.php ...

Guide is updating every time, after each patch. How to understand what was changed in the guide? Need to read everything again... Its unreal. With wiki it would be very easy to see changes.

Another approach - to write what was changed in the guide in special guide-(patch)notes and create guides' version system with links (its harder to do, then wiki).

mistake:

or *slay* undead. Exceptions are cursed lights and items and the
Stone of Lore - these will not harm vampires.
since it burns them, draining their hit points.

it has to be like:


or *slay* undead since it burns them, draining their hit points.. Exceptions are cursed lights and items and the Stone of Lore - these will not harm vampires.
