i have a question when did the invites come out cuz mine may have been automatically deleted seeing as i don't check my e-mail much and was wondering if i did get one could u plz resend
plz >.<

[kimetara]

Warning: I'm only level 11, so there's still lots in the game for me to explore.

Hmm...as a (supposedly) story-driven MMORPG, I'd like the plotline to have some depth, not simply be Evil Sister vs. Good Sister. Maybe Marian isn't actually the cause of time being frozen, or it was an accidental occurance that she's working hard to change. Maybe she was neglected as a child by people who were better rulers than parents, which is why she grew up jealous and bitter (where did their mother go?).

(BTW, while it's true that the moon gets its light from the sun, it also has great importance for life on Earth, lit or not. And it has a fair amount of beauty itself...personally, I think it's prettier than the sun, and certainly easier to look at. I vastly prefer looking at things that don't cause damage to my eyes, but that's just me.)

Maybe Adeline is actually the one who caused the disaster by mis-using the Solstice Sphere, possibly due to arrogance of youth since she's already learned so much (so she could just be impatient and try to figure it out herself to help the people of Xen). Maybe she froze time deliberately because she didn't want to rule--having a love of learning is extremely different from having a love of ruling, so perhaps she didn't care for the responsibility/position, and instead wanted to be free to pursue her own interests. (Maybe she felt too much pressure from being the Golden Child, and actually regularly went to Marian for advice/venting.)

Or hey, there could be stuff like arranged marriages and whatnot, as long as it doesn't get too soap opera-ish. Just, no cut and dried evil twin stuff, ne?

As for the secret of the Solstice...it could be a time-space warp! XD Just because time is frozen for some reason I don't know yet, and solstice has to do with the amount of time in day/night. I guess there isn't much regarding space, though. Hmmm. Need to learn more about the game first, methinks.

I have to say >_o this game is nearly exactly alike to

Nani!?! Time and space warp!?!?!?!
We are talking Fantasy Epic not Sci-Fi star wars spin off.

And I thought I have too many skill points in the weird deparment.

...
I have no clue what might happen next but I can't wait to find out. You guys are geniuses with the story It was really good, delicous, and very original too. (trust me on this I know good Ideas when I see them) I had shivers up my spine just pondering over what my happen next.

umm yea...well i download the driver and hav a user name and stuff...but wen i get 2 the point 2 create a character ... it said like sos client.exe has encountered problems and needs 2 b closed....ummm can some 1 help me ...

[kingkee]

umm yea...well i download the driver and hav a user name and stuff...but wen i get 2 the point 2 create a character ... it said like sos client.exe has encountered problems and needs 2 b closed....ummm can some 1 help me ...

you can try downloading again. i have encountered an error myself after downloading the client, but after downloading again, the game worked.

[kingkee]

i've found some small problems in the game like grammar, (using "he" instead of "she"), the name of one NPC, "Loitrin" (i forgot the name, but i think it is something like that), was changed to "Roitrin" when i talked to Peter (love letter quest), and, well, i forgot.. but i'm sure it is about some grammar problem as well.. i hope this helps

[Rakushune]

Hum, I've been trying to run the quest "descendant of heroes" which tells the rumor of what happened to the descendants of the two heroes that saved the world.

The rumor is something along the lines of that the descendants disappeared doing something that their forefathers finished before.

I can't finish the quest since it tells me to goto Candyvault(pretty much all the quests at higher levels do) and we obviously can't access that area yet.

[aznguy461]

ok...so it happened again...wen i start the game ...going 2 create a character ....a few moments later...it said "SoSClient.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."...so...yea...i tried downloadin again...still hav this problem...any other ideas... anybody??

[felt_kun]

is there a job with dual wielding?

happened to me to just a minor glitch nothing of significant importance unless your using multiple characters and forget which ones have done which quests

[SamusNerd]

[DragonMan949]

I have to say >_o this game is nearly exactly alike to


!!!****<RAGNAROK>****!!!
The game is similar to ragnorak. How come?

i've found some small problems in the game like grammar, (using "he" instead of "she"), the name of one NPC, "Loitrin" (i forgot the name, but i think it is something like that), was changed to "Roitrin" when i talked to Peter (love letter quest), and, well, i forgot.. but i'm sure it is about some grammar problem as well.. i hope this helps

Yeah, I found tons of misspellings, like when u unequip an item it says "Green scarf itemis unequipped" and is "Lightening" Supposed to be spelled "Lightning"?

The game is great and easy to level up in (if ur in a praty) but there are many misspellings, the potions are too weak for lvls 24+, and I think it would be best if you can see in the chat screen, the amount of exp given (instead of seeing ur exp % go up).

It shouldnt be much, but I hope in OBT or in the release of the game, most of these errors would be fixed.

[ShapeshifterWolf]

I actually haven't been able to play it, I really want to, but the downloading
time is horrible, I just don't have the time to do it. Maybe if it played in a Web Browser or a Flash Player it would be easier, I can't play the game:
oh that makes me so sad TT_TT

[Drelovely]

dragon man, we should party some tyme almost lvl 30 fighter, lke 50% left. same in game name

[Lil-Pinoy]

Hii,i have a few suggestions...1st of all i am a lvl 36 rouge and for some resson the accuracy spell(able to use at lvl 26)will not work and ive found at it also dsnt work for some other ppl.

Also when you hold down on the mouse to move u all ways stop and go and stop go.if u could make a way for it to move "smoothly" id b great.=)...

Finnaly i think there should b extra skills and mini games such as farming,woodcutting,cards,etc. i get bored of just fighting monsters all the time =\


thanks for taking the time to read my suggestions and plz do the best to do something about them:)

[DragonMan949]

I wish there were dual weilding, or at least enabling mages to equip a special shield/book.

[antons]

So...

1) Like someone here already said this game is a copy of RAGNAROK by something like 92%
2) Here is some screenshots and official sites for you to see and compare:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/ragnarokonline/screenindex.html
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?BHCP=1&SETVIEW=screens&GAMEID=96&bhcp=1

http://wingchild.net/ro/

You should not ignore this message because GRAVITY (Creators of Ragnarok)
might don't like what are you doing here. You should contact them and ask if this game is okey...

I myself is very angry, because I am a big fan of Ragnarok, and I play it for 3.5 years now. The longest game that I ever played and I will play it for many more years to come!

So seeing this... look-a-like...:( makes me sad...

Thank you for listening...

[Fireangel111]

I think this game is much like RAGNAROK....
Your basically copying the whole thing into another plot

[magelee]

they cant do a damn thang ha ha ha can i say damn?

[celebor]

Actually they can... Copyright laws eh?

[celebor]

WOW!!! And it is not just a copy! It as a very cheap one... Even the mouse looks the same! Ha ha ha!!! And hair styles, and alt+...
O_O

[megalomaniac]

:mad: u shouldn't say that! if u don't wanna play this game, then just don't play it!... this is a free wonderful nd high quality game, so i don't have problems with that, so if they're r wasting time so u can play this game, u should b more respectfull with them :p

i think it awsome that someone cares about well made games :cool:, nd i like the story too ;D

[DragonMan949]

Actually they can... Copyright laws eh?

So why isnt SOS in trouble then celebor? RO afraid of solstice? Or maybe SOS isnt copying RO, but may be using similar graphic techniques RO used before.
And megalomanic is right, if u dont like it, dont play it, no one is forcing u.

[Winters]

I played RO for 4 ~ 5 years. I'm bored of it, I'm actually glad that this game is a lot like RO. I will wonder if it will be better though, I've only played SoS for 2 days now, but we shall see. O.O

And Gravity can't do anything because, everything is very similar, but unless it is EXACTLY the same, then Gravity cannot do anything.

Also, SoS is very different from RO in many aspects. Like the skill system, the targeting system, party system is different, etc. A lot is different, yet a lot similar. :)

[Reikansi]

I LUV IT, the moment i saw the graphics i fell in luv^^

.....
i havent even played yet.=\
lol i still luv it

And if I'm not mistaken, it also matters that SoS is not pay-to-play. If it were a clone of RO, AND pay-to-play, things would be different.

[sfang]

Lvl 16 F.Y.I

This is the best MMorpg I've seen in a long time. The Beta testing is already better then 90% of the MMOs you can get off of the internet. This has the potential to be a verry good game, you rock Outspark keep this one goin' for a long time. :D


p.s:
as for the rumor that this game is a copy of RAGNAROK online, i'd like to point out the RO is p2p, and last time I checked this game is free. if you wana consider this a free RO then fine, but I think that since its free its not mutch of a copy...

[dknightz]

I have to say I was impressed when I logged into the game the first time. I didn't believe we would be seeing a game just as good if not better than Ragnarok Online anytime soon, but I was wrong. This game has everything, plus more. And it looks so good and fluid. You guys did an excellent job. Congratulations!

Edit: 1-2 more classes and it'd be even better for variety. :)

[celebor]

And if I'm not mistaken, it also matters that SoS is not pay-to-play. If it were a clone of RO, AND pay-to-play, things would be different.

Ragnarok is not pay to play because there is million and one servers.

I saw people saying things like if you don't like it don't play it. WRONG

I don't care about it and will not bother playing it.

Gravity can't do nothing about it. We will see.

End of discussion.

[KopchicK]

Antons and celebor said was true. I say if all u can do is copy a game and change some stuff, don't make it. The game itself looks almost as Ragnarock, and u said nothing to the gravity like ***? :mad: like srlsy u guys suck.

[DragonMan949]

And if I'm not mistaken, it also matters that SoS is not pay-to-play. If it were a clone of RO, AND pay-to-play, things would be different.

Isn`t the cash shop thats coming going to use credits or something that we get by buying game cards?

[Sumeragi]

Okay, a little early on my part for feedback, but I've got quite a list myself and quite an opinion to boot.

As far as the list is concerned, being the current level I am, I've grown to love the game and how nothing isn't exactly automatic. You get to work for the items and the quests are fantastic. Not too hard and not too simple either.

Couple of things that I'm sure people have already stated, I'll leave out, but for sure, it's definately spelling and incomplete sentences on the quest information.

1. The movement is sure annoying, I mean, run for a bit, stop for a second only to go again? Come on, we drag the mouse, no time for potty breaks!

2. I've noticed some monsters don't exactly drop different stuff, but some information on what the mass drop rate is per monster or something like that would be helpful for some of us who'd like to get things done a bit better.

3. Sit downs. I don't like having to sit and when I click on an empty part, I move, when trying to turn around.

4. Two vs. one tactic. Okay, I've had numberous KS'ing on me and that's got to be fixed. If a person can take on the monster, let the monster be destroyed by that person, not the other one. Is there a way that the monster can't be clicked on by the other user once it's attacking the individual?

I think that's all I have in regards to feedback. Now for the opinion.

Simply put, very nicely done. Graphics are incredibly good, not a single copy out there that resembles Ragnarok in ANY way. Last I checked, novices sat with there legs out in front of them. NOT THE SIDE. Classes are different by a huge persepective and the skills you should buy not automatically get. (Maybe 1 to start off, but you know what I mean.)

Gravity won't be able to do anything, since this game is under no copyright infringement, but even if it had, here's some good examples of others who did the exact same thing. And guess what tootsies and whiners: NOTHING HAPPENED!

Random House/Bertellsmann vs. WoW - copyright infringement on story plot regarding Lord of the Rings and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. (End result: No evidence to concur that the game matches the stories in any shape or form. Case dismissed.)

World of Warcraft vs. Nintendo and 21st Century Fox - Copyright infringement on character names 'Link' (WoW spelled it Linkoln) and Spock (WoW I think named it Spack) (End result: Copyrighted proof of character likliness but not the names. WoW was allowed to keep them in either case.)


Producers of Myst games and GamePro online vs. Mysterious maker of Psych! (CLASSIC!) - Gamepro admitted on the idea of the spoof game of Myst. Myst found out someone used that idea and copied it, using the name and the game indepth. (End result: Anonymous identification of the perpetrator was unknown, case was dismissed.)

Now I was a veteran of Ragnarok myself - 4 years if not 5 when it was Beta. But seriously, if Gravity had a problem, they would do something about it. After all, there's public advertising. Gravity probably already knows of it, and won't do anything because there's no concise evidence of the game being a REPEAT!

Other than that, Outspark crew, you've outdid yourselves huge by making a nice 3-d type MMORPG. My hat's to you!

[Serric]

I have to be perfectly honest here and state I came to SOS from another game (not sure if you can mention other game names on here so I will refrain) that is currently in open beta and riddled with issues, both from in-game bugs, exploits and other issues that are seemingly overlooked by the parent company despite repeated requests by several players to correct. Their “free” MMORPG isn’t necessarily free as one must pay real dollars for in-game add-ons and bonuses. SOS is, to date, a breath of fresh air. The graphics are fun, reminding me of the RPGs I used to play on Playstation, Sega and (dating myself here) Super Nintendo. It is a feeling of nostalgia I can genuinely appreciate.

I haven’t read this entire thread so I apologize if what I mention here is repeating anyone else. Having said that, my thoughts on the game so far are these:

1: I’d like to see the main square a little less populated. As it is now, A LOT of players congregate there and I have noticed significant lag. Perhaps introduce a new area of town specifically for sales, away from the central hub of town?

2: I’d like to see some more variety in monsters outside of different towns. I was excited to go to Essene (sp?) only to find the same mobs, to a degree, that I can find in the surrounding forests of the main town. Granted, there are some variances but personally I’d like to see new terrain and new monsters from town to town.

3: I have noticed the party option of randomizing drops doesn’t always work. It seems one player will get a significant number of the shares drops then another will – it rarely works as genuinely random for my group, regardless of which party I am in at the time.

4: The music is fun but repetitive. I have noticed I have already turn the music off. Perhaps something a little smoother?

5: Gold – no banks? I am not sure if carrying gold has any weight issues or if you can drop gold when killed (so far I haven’t noticed that) but I’d love to see a bank where a player can deposit their gold and watch it grow!

6: One thing that bugs me is when I chose a class (rogue) I suddenly looked like every other rogue despite the fact I clearly chose a hairstyle, etc. I liked in character generation. I would like to see more individuality in regards to how my character looks regardless of class and/or level. Moreso, I would say, than the random eyepatch or clown nose, etc.

7: I can’t wait for the new maps to open!! Am pretty excited to see what you guys are plotting for us poor, innocent players!

All in all I think this is a pretty decent beta. I have noticed spelling errors throughout but am sure QC will clean those up later, and have yet to experience a significant bug or anything of that sort. Good work! Keep it up! ^_^ v

[Serric]

Well, I took a look at the screenshots and I can't see what the fuss is about. Even if it is similar, so what? Those screenshots look very similar to the Final Fantasy series - should Square sue? The funny thing about copyright laws is people have made them into some monstrous legal ogre.

One thing to take into consideration is that an idea can not be copyrighted, nor can a thought or expression. Material can be copyrighted. Names and images can be, but concepts can not be copyrighted. Patented, yes, but thousands of new patents have clones from nearly day one.

Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:

• To reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords;
• To prepare derivative works based upon the work;
• To distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
• To perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
• To display the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work; and
• In the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.
Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright. (from: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wci)

Basically, it is actually quite hard to enforce copyright infringement. However, all that said and done, that is neither here nor there. The fact is that SOS is under no threat from RO or any other online entity unless they have taken names, characters, or other genuinely copyrighted material and presented them as their own.

To those who are pushing this I simple ask you to stop, mostly because you are incorrect and it is senseless for you to continue arguing a moot point. Instead, play the game and enjoy it (or don’t) and leave your constructive suggestions and feedback in the appropriate forum.

Peace.

[Sinome]

Hello, :D

Here is some feedback on the game so far. ;)

Navagation map - You may want to tweak this to show the map based on the direction the charature is facing at the time the map is activated. At this time the map show the surrounding area with north always at the top.

Tracker Books - You may want to allow the Tracker books/Return Scrolls to save more than one location.

Game Errors - The following glitch has been found. Charature will freeze up and a message stating you can not uses that skill will appear. At this time you can not uses any of your skills. Only fix I have found is to switch off charatures or to log out of the game and relog into it.

Skill message - When spamming an attack skill (i.e. holding down the hot key to an attack) Game messages that this skill is not yet ready scrolls up on the left side over and over again hindering the view of the screen on that side of the game.


Party - At this time if you are in a party with other people, the drops goes only to does who pick up the items. When a charature is in a support role such as a healer. The majority of the time they do not receive any of the items dropped unless the other party members are nice enought to give them to them. I would like to suggest adding the feature that distributes the items randomly to all players in a party.


Thanks :o

[Ranimalx]

A large partying in SOS had became quite unpopular due to the item distributes. As for long range players they would choose Divide Items Randomly so they would get items as well. Yet, when the party is as large as 8, the randomlization would go mad. Whenever my party gets larger, there is at least one person complaining about not getting any loots from the drops. I suggest the item distributing system to be set in orders. so everyone get an item through down the list one by one. We want a pleasant gaming hours with teammates other than arguing about loots.

[elimi8z]

btw,y is d quest in essene,d 1 we deliver a thought of some gal to some1 is so heavy?it's wasting my time n d information regarding d quest is quite blur...y dun u guyz have a quest guide on ur website?plz do somethin about it!!i'm stuck 2 days at d plaza wonderin how d heck to remove dat piece of thought!!!

[DoR4Em0n]

I've been playing this game for awhile, and grown to like it so much. I don't have much complains about the game, and the only bug I've noticed is about a quest as I've mentioned under the Report Bug section. Unfortunately I've heard many people are leaving this game as there has not been any solid answer as of when it is going open beta and the probability of the wiping. I personally think that if the Open Beta will still be long, I hate to say it but I'd probably play other game instead of wasting all my time to just level and in the end get wiped.

For the time being, it would be better if the team (SoS crew) can actually update this with new items (which are supposed to be in game like potions), new maps and couple of fixes (spelling errors, bugs and etc) instead of just letting people play as it is now.
A notice of the coming updates are so much prefered so that the player have something to look forward to.

As I'm a rogue in game, I see it as a little bit unfair to know that many other job can advance while rogue can only either stay as rogue, or just be an archer.

About the similarities with RO, graphic-wise looks a little like RO, but the whole gaming systems of SoS are completly at different level, besides... it's still on Closed Beta.

I've noticed some of the 'lacks' as of right now, but I'm sure they are going to be fixed / added later. I'm just hoping the 'later' won't take so much time and let the current players play another game and forget about SoS.

[stephie1099]

i have a question when did the invites come out cuz mine may have been automatically deleted seeing as i don't check my e-mail much and was wondering if i did get one could u plz resend
plz >.< i have a question when did the invites come out cuz mine may have been automatically deleted seeing as i don't check my e-mail much and was wondering if i did get one could u plz resend

[ColdDisguise]

You most likely never received a invite Stephie.

[DoR4Em0n]

Just so the team know, the game SealOnline came out just almots the same as SoS, but guess what, they are already on OpenBeta. They only took 10 days to test if the server is working properly.

If its taking longer to test the server, you can probably give us notices on what is happening because closed beta is meant for server testing, and isn't supposed to take so long. That's why the wiping has always been happening so no one will feel like they have wasted time on leveling too much.

Nostale online was a case where the CloseBeta never ended and in the end the game was not even there anymore. And so many people played that game.

[Serric]

All I want to know is, where's the story? What's with the princess? Right now it's hack n slash... I love the game, but want more of a rich storyline, not just random events and endless maps... o.0#

Also, we rogues have alternate paths, don't we? Yes, Archer, but what about felon, shadow and assassin for example?

[XenoSword]

My personal thoughts on the gameplay wasn't very satisfying, I know it is Closed Beta and everything is being settle down. The graphics is good, very vivid and lively, but what bothers me the most was the leveling and skill system. Half of the time im wondering whens the fun is going to start? When am I going to stop grinding for who knows how long? Until level 100? I find it very repetative to keep on using the same spell over and over, like all I have done was keep smashing one button all day long. I don't really find that amusing, the skills tree is a bit too long, my character is a Magician, and the Mind Blaster spell was pretty strong, the 2nd spell was Magic Ice, slowing down enemy is great for soloing so that was a good combo. But when I got my level 21 the Magic Lightning spell, it was almost the same damage my Mind Blaster was, which was utterly useless. Yes, it does have an other level, all you have to do is grind atleast 20 freaking hours until your level 40+! Than maybe I would be satisfied.
So to sum it all up. The gameplay is too slow, it unmotivates many players to keep on moving foward to the next journey or quest. Needs more fast pace action and a better Partying System where it will show how much Experience we are getting, instead of just a pop-up notice. I am not very positive as when I was first started playing, this is just how I view the game in my honest opinion.

And to all the players that has post in this Topic, please try not to post the same thing over and over again, I heard about several idea posted so many times and it just making so much "spam". It makes the Moderator doesn't want to bother reading your suggestions because alot of people is very off topic.

its closed beta, the story will probally start to develop with the release, or pissibly open beta

Felon, shadow and assasin are not yet released

But seriously giving them branches? that would result in very small diffrences from classes. Unless you mean that archer should advance further, which it will

Good point re: the storyline. You're probably spot-on with that

[Lord_Xearo]

So currently i am LvL 38 and want to post my Feedback about the Game. The Graphic is very nice and the atmosphere is good to. But the thing that makes me bored for a while is the combat against the monsters. It's everytime freezing and than attacking with Thunder ...over and over and over and over again. Well i am not complaining...i just want to supply you to get a good game. So what to do could be more skills for the character (I am only playing magican) and/or more (better) quests in which you can gain more experience. This could make the game more diversified. But i have a great ambition to play along and get stronger :D You guys are on the right way and doing a good job.

And sorry for my bad english. ;)

[michaelcr]

y can't i download sos plz respond its sorta ticking me off and wut is a closed beta tester

[Serric]

y can't i download sos plz respond its sorta ticking me off and wut is a closed beta tester

A closed beta test means that only invited persons can play the game at this stage to test it before it is released to the public.

There - 1 answer for 2 questions. ^_^

thanks for the reply. and does anyone know if it has any glitches i should know about? and is RO play to play

[uwek007]

wanna give suggestions about sos potions effect ... better if you make the potions effectness better .. 50 or 70 heal of hp and mp .. so not many players will easily died .. ;)

[neomike]

what i want to know is that when this gets on open beta will i have to start all over again?? im level 30 and it took ages to get there

[Dawnofwinter]

I really love the game. The only things I dont like are the lucky ball itme disapearing after a week and some of the spelling errors on the Map and with soem of the chanracters. Other than that, it's an awsome game.

[Dawnofwinter]

There are some spelling errors and lag issues. =)

[syariff]

yup..I agree ...it looks like ragnarok

[syariff]

My suggestion is..it needs war....fighting..not just pvp...or pvp at any public area....any like that...needs more rage in this game..too cute..like dota

[KalithSTR]

Yea i've gotten around to paly alot of rag servers and gotten some high sin crosses in my time on 10/10/10 servers. I've also gotten pretty high on maple story which is a game you must have patience to play. But the music in this game puts me to sleep. i've only been playing for 10 minutes and i quit. i found the 10 quests useless and tedious. tomorrow i'll try to get past it but so far this game is a fail

[syariff]

I wish there were dual weilding, or at least enabling mages to equip a special shield/book.

its just feels like RO...:)

[Saiato]

There is one thing and one thing only that I really really REALLY want to see developed in this game: THE STORY. I know this is an MMO, but that doesn't mean it has to be repetitive and redundant like all the others. The game has a good backstory, however that's all it is, it explains why the world is the way it is now. Because of this, there is no progression while playing because the whole story already happened. I would really love to see more story intertwined within the gameplay itself, maybe something like quests that aren't merely errands but are done for the specific purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the world or even seeing some social development (within the environment, such as social condition of the inhabitants of the world) on the side. I've seen other MMOs that will have both quests and missions. Quests are just for the purpose of the reward (or maybe a side story?), while missions are for the purpose of the story and need to be done linearly. Maybe something like this would work well.

Also, while I was reading the backstory I had an idea. Because Adeline is "the sun" (good, holy) and Marian is "the moon" (full of anger, resentment) maybe the players could be split accordingly as well. Something like "Children of the sun" (Adeline's followers) and "Children of the moon" (Mariana's followers) like some other MMOs do (Queynos and Freeport in EQ, Horde and Alliance in WoW, ect). I know that part would be a huge alteration to the game, but it's something that maybe should be taken into consideration.

I love the gameplay itself, I really feel like this game has great potential. However, I've noticed that so many MMOs fall just because they aren't involving enough, and for me the most involving part of a game is the story, the world itself, my character's purpose. Quests and missions strongly define the roleplaying experience in the game, so quests that are more deeply involved in the game-world make the world seem more real (I don't think we want to role-play errand boys or the "hey! you look bored, go kill those monsters and I'll give you a cookie!" guy). I know this is just the closed beta, and I know the game is still heavily in the works, but this is the one part I really would like to see worked on in the game.

EDIT:: I didn't get far enough into the game to experience PvP, but I know it's a big part of MMOs nowadays. I think also having a strong dueling system and some sort of guild-battles or allegiance battles (all-out war scenario fights) would draw the attention of many players. Because I've never been a big PvP person, I can't really say much on this topic, I hope someone can elaborate more in this field. It would help make SoS an even stronger game.

I hope my thoughts were helpful, please take them into consideration =)

[Skyosto123]

I play a lot of MMORPGs (Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) like World of Warcraft, Guildwars, ect. This game is cool, lots of fighting, different skills, music's alright, but it has no good violence, all you do is kill monsters. There could be like war like what Sayariff said. My suggestion is..it needs war....fighting..not just pvp...or pvp at any public area....any like that...needs more rage in this game..too cute..like dota PvP is nice, people have a chance to test out their skills in like arenas or somehing. War's also good like a giant group of people against another giant group of other people or warrior-like monsters. Just a thought. Also this game need more of a story. There are a few quests but none of them (though I havent done all of them yet). have backbone to the story. There could be quests like assassinating someone important, like a boss, or a whole big group of them, which could require groups = more friends. Or it could be simple fantasy and like be helping Adeline with something or escourting someone to an area they got lost in. Those are my thoughts though, I dont tend to be an expert at any games, but i do play alot of MMORPGs and so on. Also, there was a little bit of spelling errors in the same and/grammar. Just to let you know.

[Rodaa]

i thing the story is definalty going to develop. Theres a sticky in general discussion which gives a bit of a story to the change from CB to OB, its short but it shows the the story is probally going to develop

[nokie17]

the client that we download can it still be used for the open beta:confused:

[Rodaa]

probally, you may need to download a patch though

[eravenheart]

Well, I see a lot of comments on spelling and the like. While it is very obvious that these things are under construction and will most likely change, I would like to offer my assistance in correcting these discrepancies. If Outspark requires the assistance of someone with a college degree in English with a Creative Writing Emphasis, drop me a message. I don't have any requests, requirements, or demands. I simply like the game so far and would like to see it become that much better.

haha thank you for your support

[Skyosto123]

haha thank you for your support

Haha, thanks. I read it 5 times and I thought it sounded more like critisism (spelling?). Anyways, I like the game, it reminds me alot of when I used to play Final Fantasy, that, was a fun game. Hope the game gets really good, looking forward to it. :D

[PureXtacy]

I wish that the game was a little better exp wise, i dont know about some people but i really cant stand games that take forever to get lvls and make a decent character. I know there are people like myself who go to school and have a job so they dont have the hours to grind on monsters constantly just a thought about uping the exp on monsters a lil bit

[invocate_prosperity]

I agree with the exp leveling up situation. I would go like 3 screens too far with my character, and all of the monsters would have blood red names. I'd kill one at a time, and STILL, they'd give me maybe 1%.

The lucky ball situation was fantastic. I know that I would stay in one spot for like an hour because I found a few lucky balls, and that kept me playing! Keep the lucky balls.

I think you should make it to where you can trade items to your other characters. I had a lvl 23 Acolyte and a lvl 30 Rogue. I found fantastic items for my Acolyte with my Rogue, but I couldn't give him anything. Please fix this up!

I respect Rider doing such a fantastic job with the events, but don't you think that after this game starts to develop a bit more, it will be way too big for him doing it in Guild Square? That is tiny. I'd say make a building specifically for events.

For the beginners, they need a bit more explanation with leveling up, and using stat points. Also explanation as in what does what, like if you put a stat point into intelligence, what does it do?

You're going to need better word filtering. Yea, you know what I mean.

After using a lucky ball, you get an item that cannot be traded or sold. I understand the selling situation, but trading should be the decision of the traders. If you are concerned about people being screwed over by not knowing the expiration date, put a warning before trades for that item. I have tried to give extra LB items to newer players to help them, but never could.

I'm a little disappointed though, considering I had a blast with the CBT, and now that it's done and we all start over I feel like a LOSER! I was lvl 30, and I put alot of time into it. If it is reset again, I will not play. I'm going to play when you get it going again. BUT PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT WHEN YOU BRING THE ACTUAL CLOSED BETA YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE. I saw the extra store situation, where you can pay money to get better items. GREAT IDEA, I will be doing that. But I will NOT pay to play.

This is a fantastic game, in which I have supported and promoted. I have many friends on it, and it would completely kill my boredom.

Please let me know when I can start up again.

Sincerely,
(character name)

I think the whole point of making the exp so low is that you don't just rush into lvling and then get bored. Takes time to reach certain areas of a game and I know for me if I got there very fast I would get bored and that would be it for me

[ZAPDOS21]

well having a little higher exp rate wont hurt anything due to the fact that this game has a very high max level, i dont think that anyone will be bored anytime soon

[Skyosto123]

I know friends that if they played enough they could probably reach lvl 70 ina week. That's like 10 levels a day. :eek: And I think that the exp is ok. Its fresher than "1000/2550 EXP." or something like that.

[Huzuki]

ok...so it happened again...wen i start the game ...going 2 create a character ....a few moments later...it said "SoSClient.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."...so...yea...i tried downloadin again...still hav this problem...any other ideas... anybody??
realy?ha!no i did't know any ideas ok?but some one have PS2?:) because there is so cool games at PS2 n PS3 PS4 to dude n im new ok?

[Joel2905]

i no some people have already said some of these things, but as improvements on the game go, I belive there needs to be a massive overhaul giving players more idivudality with characters when it comes to faces and hair styles, the monsters randomly being able to attack you from 20 feet more than usuall when ur running needs to be adressed, and then the leveling up exp curve needs to be more blanced as it started to take rediculous amounts of time to level characters up. sorry if i repeated any ideas but i feel that it just stresses the fact that these things should be looked at

[jcrockett]

I hope all our posts are not going unread...we are waiting for an ETA on the Open Beta...We want to hear more on the exp curve...it is easy to get to 20 but after that it takes some long grinding to gain another level. I would think about 1 level per 4 hours type curve is aceptable. I like to come home from work and spend about 5 hours on the game and maybe even like 8+ on the weekend. I hate spending all that time to only gain 50% to the next level. I love lucky balls but I spent two weeks in the closed beta that I didn't even find one. I had no luck. I would like the ability to follow and even get some vs battles included in the game. I love the secret of mana look or basically the snes RPG look to the game and it is easy on my system which will make this a huge success. Huge amounts of fun and I love the hotel setup...please do not change the way you can store your items and still access the same items with any character you are controlling...very good aspect...I love the mage class but can't believe they can't even heal a single target....acolytes should heal a party and a mage should be able to heal a single target...I would like some more low level area damage for a mage...not that strong or anything but still area damage...shouldn't have to wait till lvl 50+ I think it was for any area damage. When my party is getting swarmed it would be nice to have an area damage ice spell to get situated and either retreat or get a plan. Area ice spell could fall around lvl 36 or so...not strong but a nice effect...shouldn't change the balance of the game to much. Either way it would be nice to get a few comments on what has been posted...hope to hear from anyone soon.

[Rodaa]

4 hours for 1 level from 20+

thats even slower, after 20 i was managing about 1 hour every half an hour - 1 hour

[jcrockett]

I want to know where you were...lol...I couldn't catch a level up in four hours of grinding...what do you aim for light red or dark red for more exp...you could kill more of the easier ones or take your time to kill one of the big ones. What really gives you more gain...I am thinking more of the little since I spent so much time taking down a few of the dark red ones and didn't catch a level in four hours. I must have had the wrong tactic. I have been playing Tales of the Pirate to get my fix of MMORPG and it sucks...I can wait for this game to get back up...Dec 15th is so far away. :(

[Cress_Albane]

Hi there!

OK.. I have read the whole thread and, sadly finding that people are whining about how the: "game looks and feel's like RO". well yeah.. maybe it is looking and feeling like an RO NOW, but it's still BETA!! and I believe that in future this game will be a LOT different from RO.

I mean think about it little.. now the game has basic elements of MMORPG. what i mean is look for example of Outsparks Fiesta. it has same elements as Guild Wars or even WoW, but the Graphics are unique so the people don't whine about it. but I still bet it has almost same classes as Guild Wars etc. BUT IT'S STILL WHOLE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MMORPG's.

I admit that when i first looked screenshots of SoS i was thinking too that " this game is RO with better graphics." but still thinking that it can turn quite different what it is right now, (or should i say, "quite different from RO") because the game itself is still in early stages.

SO.. QUIT YOUR DAMN WHINING HOW THE GAME LOOKS OR FEELS UNLESS YOU ARE BUG REPORTING!!!

Thank you!

P.S: sorry for my bad english

Open beta's rarely wipe, dont worry

if it wipes though it wipes, get over it

[davisf18]

so theres actually a story this time? i heard there was something about twin princess in the reading but thats all i had heard from them. Is SoS going to be split into two groups like in WoW?

[Rodaa]

if they told you that it would ruin the story, we'll just have to see how it develops

[emoking]

ok this isn't good...

....IF I HAVE TO START AT LVL 1 AGAIN AFTER THIS, IT'S OVER OUTSPARK!!!

You will indeed start at level 1 again they alredy said that

[hottie1188]

gm's are online!!!

[Rodaa]

You will indeed start at level 1 again they alredy said that

he's talking about after OB, they havent said anything about that

[Ralyth]

i havnt played it but it looks somewhat like Ragnarok Online and if the game play is the same it wont take long for me to max id say but yeah does anybody know the max by any chance?

[Rodaa]

the game isnt the same as RO, its the same in the fact that its a MMORPG.

They only look simalar since their based of the same engine.

[eyehop]

Umm.. does anyone know where in the website can i find official website time? then i know exactly when events are going to start/end.

[dundukas]

i log in the game is loading and then it shut up:confused::confused::eek::eek:

[Rodaa]

have you downloaded the OB version?

and please dont use 4 emoticons in a row, it looks really stupid

this is a freaking thread asking for feedbacks/suggestions, some of you are going out of point...

Please, someone help me or i will delete the game :S
thanks.

I cant seem to find anyone of the NPC's who mentions the story, just the guy in the Guild Plaza at Brynhild.

Are there others?

Im at level 25 now, what level does the story start coming into play?

[solmix123]

Yeah copy RO but sux than RO... Mainly you pot & penalty %
RO red pot 25 = 50hp , sos 100 = 20hp
penalty RO 1% , sos 5~7%

[Fireslinger]

you know...

if you dont like it then why not just stop playing?

just a suggestion.

[God_Hand]

Before i state my disagreements this game overall seems very promising and carries alot of potential. However there are some things that need some constructive critisism.

Navigation Problems.
It has everything to be a great game all it needs is a few more add-ons and adjustments to make the gameplay match its appearance. Clicking the ground to move a chracter to a designated spot is common amongst MMORPG's. However in this game I feel congested when in populated areas. Although I support the process of selling and purchasing I can't help but accidently click unto NPC's and/or acess a trade window without carfully clicking into the small patches of unoccupied land.

Possible solutions: I think this can easily be corrected by the use of "A,S,D and W" as alternate navigation. Also to avoid congestion id like to suggest to make a designated area to set up stalls for buying and selling. Also a edtion of a world map would be helpful in finding places and or areas.

Camera:
I think more zoom out would help players such as myself be able to find enemies etc. much more easier without interfering(KS). or more of a widescreen since the game has alot going on, to limit the view really does limit the experience in my opnion(just a few more degrees for christmas?). In some cases I feel like im walking blind.

Depth: Skills and items I believe are lacking substance or content, for e.g There is no clear description (its great reference)and for those who need that extra bold for attention .

Story:
If any exists i would make a comment.

Your free to voice out your opnion, mine is only one of many. I am aware it is a beta and many things are still working out. Critisism is embraced but insults are ignored.

I've also been curious about this. I'm a big fan of looking at storylines and the only thing I've seen about any storyline is on the Homepage.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. How about making a Library, preferably in the area after you pass the North Gate of Arcanias (since there's nothing really up there) and in there will be an NPC that you can chat with and you can see the whole storyline from the beginning and what is happening currently. That NPC might even be able to give you info on any event that has to do with the Storyline.

[Manhid]

please remove or change that 7% death penalty T_T
LAG + MOB = DEAD
so i cant avoid dying but 7% drives me to boredom when im nearing to lvl up
umm just a feedback though ^^

and if u can add x3 or x5 exp events will help this game gain more people i guess ^_^

[Rodaa]

this isn't really the place for that sorta stuff manhid, this is meant to be for discussion of the games plot...


and they do do incread exp events, but not as high as you do...x5 is insane...just x3 would be too much

we got a x1.5 event for defending essene once

[luvssti]

the exp penalty is too high and its unfair. the exp we get from the monster is too low and if we die the penalty is too high and we need to kill again more monters to get the exp back. it consumes more time before lvling and if we die it will take long time again. this makes the game not balance.

[Vins3nt]

The game is balance.You never played in hard mmorpg?

[Ciffe]

Yeah, I think the exp loss when dying VS the exp you get from monsters is great.

I hate easy MMORPGs were you don't lose anything when dying. That take the fun out of the game.

I would however like too see a guild system were guilds should be able to fight eachother outside of the arena in the open fields. So if you kill a person from another guild you will get 5% of his exp atm or so and maybe 10% of the money he currently is carriying. It would mean that every zone outside of the city would become a pvp area for guild members. So being in a guild can be really dangerous if your too weak or few.

Too make sure no one exploit this, by making a high level characher with a easy too level class and then let his friends kill him so they get 5% of a level 80+ char at level 20 (= 2-3 levels each time they kill him?). They should make sure that you only get exp for killing people within 5 levels.

So if you are level 25 and kill a level 30 player you will get 5% of his experiance. If you however are level 30 and kill a level 50 guy you don't get the 5% experiance. The level 50 guy do however still loose exp like if he would have been killed by another level 50 player.

Being in a guild should of course also mean that you get bonuses. Like being able too collect server "relics" that only guilds can obtain. The relics should do stuff like give all your guild members a permanent (as long as you have the relic that is) bonus.

Could be stuff like; +10% more attack (relic of war). +10% more defense (relic of peace). +25% more exp gain (relic of power).

The server relics should be fought for every week, and the relics you win you will be able too have for that week. After the week is gone the relic is teleported from the guild having it and is set in a certian pvp area were the guilds once again can fight for it.

Also, it should only be 5 relics or so. That way guild pvp would get far more intense ^^

And one last thing about the guild system and how it should be (imo ^^).

If you want too make a PvP guild or PvM (player vs player = pvp, player vs monster = PvM) should be choosen by the guild leader when the guild is created. (lets say creating a guild cost 10/20 mil kr depending if its a pvm or pvp guild.)

If you are a PvP guild you can expect too be attacked suddenly outside of a city, but you also get a chance too attack other people from diffrent PvP guilds. AND being a PvP guild also enables you too fight for the relics.

If you are a PvM guild you cannot be attacked by another guild, and once chosen too become a PvE guild you cannot suddenly change into a PvP one. You will get benefits as being able too form a peacefull community, but you do however lose the abilty too fight for the relics.

[Rodaa]

guild wars are coming, dunno how it'll work though

[Orangeman21]

Events that advance the story-line of the game should be avaible to all players not just the ones that buy certian items in-game. The Adeline B-day party would be fun to go to and I'm sure it will advance the plot further.

At least let us players that can't access sparkcash or cannot get the items in time go to the party. You guys don't have to give us anything just let us go and be able to learn about the story in-game.

[DishonorablePie]

Suggestions for the story? If possible it'd be cool to be able to pick sides. An Alastor themed storyline based on that would be pretty intersting. There might be issues involving balance that would need to be worked out, but other mmo's seem to have managed it. It would preferably be something that only really matters during pvp or events. Just a thought.

Also, I'm sure you've heard this before, but it'd be nice if the story was more accessable for people who don't use Sparkcash. I understand the need for income, but it's creating a lot of negative sentiment among free players. Today all free players missed a major(?) story piece at the birthday party. That sucked.

i just downloaded this and when i was gonna play the update thingy came and i waited for like 1 hour and nth changed why???:confused::mad:

[jammin001]

Wow...I spent the last half hour going through this entire thread, over 4 months of responses because I was looking for the "SoS Story Feedback & Discussion." Out of 128 posts only a half dozen of them had anything whatsoever to do with the story. Why hasen't this thread been cleaned? Why is there so much about RO on here? Why are there so many tech support questions here? Why are there so many game play suggestions here?

Maybe I'm one of the only ones playing SoS who wants to talk about the story, but still, if you're going to sticky a thread about the story, at least make the thread readable. I want more information about the story. I want to discuss with others where the story is going. I don't want to sift through 128 posts to find out next to nothing about people's story ideas and opinions.

So please clean up this thread...move the decent posts and delete the rest.

So here's my TOPIC question: Who exactly is Alastor other than Marian's significant other and general bad guy? Where does he come from? Why is he such a big meanie? And most importantly, why don't I really care atm about him one way or another? Shouldn't you dislike the villain...I mean what has he really done to me to make me hate him? I didn't really care all that much that he kidnapped the princess, because the princess hasn't done anything to make me care about her. Am I the only one who feels this way?

If you really want me to hate Alastor I say you should have him cast some kind of world spell over the realm temporarily leeching 2-3 lvls from every single player. Or maybe have Alastor steal all of our pets. Have it last a couple days. I guarantee that everyone will hate him then...and perhaps me too for suggesting it :). There's so much you could do with the story to make it personal to us players.

Having random mobs spawn in the town, though entertaining, is not personal. There's no consequences, nothing really happens to me except five minutes of fighting in an area I usually set up shop. Even the major Awakening event and battle in Essene wasn't much more than a 1 hour break from grinding. It was fun...but didn't really affect me as a character.

*Wonders if anyone will even wade through the mire of posts to find this one, and doesn't feel there's really any hope for this thread*

[BattleAngelAlita]

jammin you're absolute right ^^

I do not hate Alastor, coz he never did anything bad to me XD
Ok he Kidnapped Princess Adeline, but WHO CARES? This is a very bad storyline at all.
Princess Adeline never gave anything and besides she is an very BAAAAD Princess, un-able to regin her Country well, so why the heck should I care about saving her???

I'd rather join Alastor and help him keeping her useless shut -.-

So Factions would be an GREAT addition to the storyline. And if you want to have the players hate Alastor, and not congratulate him for the kidnapping of Adeline, you should let him steal all the pets and don't release them before a certain quest is done, or something else evil. (I'd join him anyway) XD

[Monocle]

I started playing recently, and I think this game is extremely promising. However... this is the single area where I find the most fault with the game, and I hope that my criticism will be helpful, although I will admit that I may be asking for a lot.

To be honest, I think the storyline of this game is terrible and childish. I think it could be used for a line of quests or something, but really... do you think its plausible that people actually fight eachother and have guild wars over some princess whose whining about not getting enough attention? I think that the main storyline needs to establish a conflict that would have a tangible effect on the players: a crisis! A famine, a tyrannical overlord, organized crime, an apocalycptic environmental danger... I would suggest a war between monsters and players, but that would just strengthen the "This game copies RO" argument (even though I think that wouldn't be all too bad of a route to pursue).

I think that the best way to make the original story something more epic and believable would be to explicitly label it as a legend or folklore that explains social or political diress, but also provide events and circumstances that are historical that could explain a conflicted status quo.

I also think that this game is in serious need of a stronger centralized theme. A lot of the items and concepts are decidedly medeival/magical, but I really don't see a true commitment to that kind of enviornment and it disillusions me. Yes, the bear suits and school uniforms are cute, but they do take a toll on an environment where they simply don't fit. A serious face-lift is in order for these conflicted ideas to be reconciled.


EDIT - I've read a few more points and I think I've thought up a pretty simple way to fix this story-line AND establish factions.
How about we establish that Adeline is a terrible ruler, but still a kind well-intentioned person who tries her best to rule. Alastor, being more competent, but somewhat power-hungry, kidnaps Adeline and uses her as his mouth-piece, creating a puppet government.

This could cause a division in the kingdom. People who are for Adeline argue that she is the rightful ruler and condemn Alastor's coercive actions. People who are for Alastor contend that Adeline was a terrible ruler and swear loyalty to the puppet-government. A third faction could be people who want a complete revolution - people who are dissatisfied with both the royal family and the puppet government. I think that most players would side with the latter, so perhaps both Adeline and Alastor supporters would unite as "Loyalists".

Does this sort of idea fit in with the current story-line? It's kind of make-shift, but something like that at least makes the plot, IMO, less petty.

[Rodaa]

intresting, i am kinda hoping that the plot will break into something more epic and possibly darker. I'd like to see some better plot twists too... Alastor being Drekards brother didn't do much for me...

[Monocle]

something more epic and possibly darker.Agreed, that's basically my previous post in six words.

More DARKNESS!

[duaane]

I like it and the kidnapers are causing even the friendly rabbits to grow huge and attack people so "we" were born to explore, and trie to restore peace. :cool:

I know that there are others posting game play suggestions here, but this thread is supposed to be suggestions and discussion for the story aspect of the game.

[Aerise_Destiny]

This game is quite promising as it intrigues us all with its mysteriousness and such.

Note: I'm a new member here, so if I typed anything that seems offending or such, I sincerely apologize for it/them. So if I don't get the names right, you're welcome to correct me when I re-check this post and such.

As far as I can see, the story-line is sort of basic, too simple, actually. There are quite a lot of things that can be improved. Such as the 'more darkness' thing that everyone's been saying all this while.

Which reminds me, most of the content are from the current storyline. I just modified it and add more stuff.

First Draft of Possible Storyline
A long-forgotten myth, told by the people of today. The myth begins centuries ago, long before the sufferings of the people of Xen...

There was a time in the past where the land of Xen was completely peaceful and harmonious. Their King was wise, fair and kind-hearted. He ruled Xen responsibly. The people of Xen loved their King as he always put the people's lives first before his. He was extremely determined that no one evil and cruel would ever get the gift that had been entrusted to him, given by the Gods for the safety of the world. And the gift was the sacred Solstice Sphere. It was apparently a legendary artifact that was said to possess power that was so great, that it could destroy the world if it was in the wrong hands. In time, the King married a graceful, elegant woman and yielded two beautiful daughters named Adeline and Marian.

As years passed, their daughters grew more and more beautiful each day. The two reached their respective womanhoods before their people's eyes. To the people of Xen, Adeline was their sweetheart as she was a shining beauty in their eyes like the ever bright sun. Adeline had sparkling dark eyes, milky brown hair, an otherworldly figure and fine yet beautiful features. She was cheerful, optimistic yet also intelligent and wise. Her eyes showed kindness and wisdom. She watched as her father went about with his duties and responsibilities and learned more and more each day.

Meanwhile, unlike Adeline who was like the Sun, Marian was like the Moon. Yes, she was beautiful, but she was slowly getting shrouded by vengeance and jealousy. She was envious of her sister who got more attention then her. Soon, the shroud of the darkness of vengeance and jealousy engulfed her heart. She felt nothing but bitterness and resentment to her sister, Adeline. Hidden under an artificial facade, she waited for her time to bloom.

More time passed, and all of a sudden they were eighteen. Adeline got a surprise from her parents, the Solstice Sphere. Entrusted to her now by her parents. Unfortunately, Marian saw her parents give Adeline the Sphere and got more jealous of her sister. It was far more than a joyful occasion as Marian planned a series of terrifying and most horrific events which would take place some months later and bequeath the land of Xen itself in darkness....

hey my sos game every sunday it doesnt let me get back on after updates and i have to reinstall it everytime its really gettting annoying

[P17ch8l4cx]

How many players would like to listen to their fav internet radio station while playing?? I know I would. (Kawaii-Radio... The station i like :p Got it from Shoutcast)
Iv been playing around with the BGMs in the BGM folder and I managed to make a BIG OGG file with like 5 songs...(so it will play the songs instead of the original one.) They got old after a while. XD So what im saying is pretty much do what I did above but to a streaming internet station.

You could also use this method to announce in-game events. Have it stream the event in an audible form in the main towns, Eir, Essence, ect. Although different languages might be a problem there.

I feel this might increase player happiness and bring more players to the game (which means more money. :D. Just something I came up with today. Think about it and please PM me if u think this is a good idea. Thank you.

Just thought of more. Have ALT R bring up a radio menu to chose like idk...4 or 5 stations from.

======================================

Second Draft (Storyline)

Millenniums ago, there was a world beyond the Gates of the Heavens, a sacred, special world filled with gifted beings. The Gods of Order had a long forgotten object in their hand, filled with power that could destroy the world or bring eternal peace forever and for eternity. The object's name was the Solstice Orb.

The world that held the dimension of Light named Xen, and the dimension of darkness, the Underworld called Sin.

Xen was filled with unique human beings, neophytes, acolytes, squires and apprentices.. They were truly brilliant, and could become rogues or scouts, clerics or disciples and such.

Mountains stand under the bright, glaring sun that fills the area with light. Lush, forest green grass decorated the ground while the mountains rolled across behind the trees, enhancing the beautiful scenery. The clouds drifted by gently across the sky which was as blue as the deepest seas. The rivers and streams flowing down gently, making lapping sounds against the rocks. Flowers such as carnations, irises, roses, poppies, orchids, dandelions, chrysanthemum, mayflowers, arbor vitae, celandines, cherry blossoms and many more decorated above the grass, a perfect picture of fantasy, innocence and naivety, yet so mystical, like a picture of myth, formed by God’s magic. Peony, cherry blossom, apple, almond, persimmon, sugar apple trees and others surrounded the enchanting scenery. A world so serene till one wants it as his or her hidden, secretive haven, away from the past, present, future, and also away from time.

As for the Underworld which name is Sin, the home of the Seven Evils, the world beneath the hellish grounds of the earth..... Demons, imps, rogues and witches roamed the hellish, abysmal place. No mercy was shown in that world. Failure meant instant death. Destruction, greed, cruelty and violence reigned that world.

The ground was as black as onyx, earth stalagmites pointing down from the ceiling. The streets were filled with hellish beings fighting every single day. Violence, fury, hatred and greed consumed their whole fiendish beings. The beings knew only violence, hate and destruction. They did not show mercy to their unfortunate preys and victims. They only showed respect to their Masters. The streets could not be shattered nor crumble, as the rulers of Sin were the most powerful Dark beings and the ground was made of the most powerful Dark magic. Trees with only their branches and no fruit nor flower decorated the sides of it. There were no lakes or rivers, only cracked pot holes and such. The world had such dark, evil, cruel wicked aura that no ‘Light’ being would go there.

In the world of Xen, an incident would occur, as foretold by the Dreamseer Liana, and chaos would wreak the world...


And here our mystical legend of the Sacred begins…


================================================== =========================


Well, this is my second try.. So, tell me what you think. Hmm.... Anyway, see ya and thanks for pointing that out.

Sos has been one of the only MMO's i've played and really the only one that i've ever liked


im not the type of person to play 3D things i like the simplicity of of the 2D even though this is in 2D theres still alot of depth to the world that i can't complain about.

one thing me and my friends would say is that we love the music on some of the maps it just makes you wanna turn the speakers on and just listen to the music for a bit.

honestly to me i don't see anything wrong with the game the community is awesome not too many ppl play but there's just enough ppl that it's not crowded the community is awesome everyone knows eachother after a while of playing u feel at home. just wish downloading it again on my terrrible computer wasn't such a pain with the OpenGL and stuff i don't even know what it is but i have to download it about 30X so sad :/ hope to play again in the near future though :o

I vote to close this this cluttered, off topic filled, uselessly stickied thread. I tried to get this thread back on track a few months ago and it's still the same.

No one cares about the story line except a handful of us, since (according to personal feedback) everyone wants bugs and much needed content additions first. The few people who don't really care about the bugs and promised content are grinding their brains out.

Adeline...who? Alastor...lame villain. Marian...jealous, impotent sister. Solstice sphere...huh? Enough said.

[sawansawan]

i have a couple suggestions for SoS ^.^ ok so i would like a gender change scroll to be put into the Solstice store at a decent price..... not like the stat reset scroll a nice price wud be like 3000 spark cash
also another suggestion i thot wud be really cool is a lv 45 class for squires.... like a dragon rider or something... i think that wud be AWESOME!!! ty for taking ur time to read my suggestions and i hope u take deep thot into both!! ^.^

[kevinata]

i want a last battle every year >.<

wer we actually assemble into armies to fight hordes of monsters in a plain field ....maybe some terrain

not all jumbled up like in essene is being attacked events
like we divide up to parties and hordes of boss mobs surround the cities
and we kill em off xD like a last battle of the year xD


and it should last like 3 days to make it realistic xD

[Jinzo813]

check for the latest video card drivers?

[damattguy]

I'll be honest, I didn't read all the posts. What new person ever did? But I can already tell you the general opinion on the storyline from a player's perspective: "What? there's a story?! WOAH!"

If you want people to take interest in the story, make a cutscene or movie when a new character is made (that can be skipped by clicking and re-watched anytime) that gives the viewer a general idea without having to read much.

[deedee479]

The story is posted some where on the main SoTs page
What I wanna see the they kidnap a player one the players love (is there really one out there)

Or one of the gms *coughcobrakaicoughs* is really tring to take over xen and the sisters and brothers have to come together to beat this GM *coughcobrakaicough* then go back to fighting and all that idk just a thought
btw I think cobrakai is kinds cool is he sicking with us for a while?

is it possible to have an NPC that can change the character cloths color?:confused:

all characters with same class are look like same. e.g Knight cloth color BROWN, warrior BLUE.. something like that.. (except for the head gears and cloaks)

it would be awsome if we can have an NPC that can change the color of the cloths of the character. :rolleyes:

[sedfvgt]

umm the storyline is dry imo, the same stuff over and over again , i say we change it up and add a bit of drama ... lets say in lost byrn, the dark lord was resurrected by the people rumored to be trying to do so ... you know lvl 41 quest ... and marian and adeline are distracted from their war against each other. oh, and then the GMs raises some of us players to semi GM status to be followers of the Dark Lord, so that we get some new people other than our GMs ... not saying they are boring ... just saying that we need more than just 6 chars in the story >.> and so that theres more to just getting lvl 180 for nothing, lets say as we get lvl 180, we get to assemble the solstice orb and mix the magics of all 6 classes, so that we can destroy the dark lord and life goes back to normal ... and randomly a player should get glitched so that they can have the ability to actually achieve lvl 180 without having to spend years getting lvl 180 .. it should be during 2nd job change so the player can have some experience first.

or if outspark has a spare server, i say lets make that spare server accesible by both adeline and marian server, and that this spare server is all around PvP , and there is neverending player killing, and the servers keep track of their kills and at the end of the year the scores are counted and the winning server get to have prices like weekend 50% boosts every weekend.. adeline vs marian xD

[Aerise_Destiny]

storyline...now what shud i do with the story line? -glares at word document-

[Quazzie]

I would like to see an actual storyline quest with cutscenes and all. Imho this game revolves around grinding and very few/one quest/s at every lv. Sure all the new content is good but what keeps us playing a game is the story! Not the content which can easily become boring unless something is behind it.

It's been over a year since this game first started and we haven't even been givin a large chain quest (Besides the Pet Quest) that would keep us entertained. Even more bosses would make this game more entertaining.

Out of all the mmo's i have played they have all had something that has kept me playing. (Some MMO) had cutscenes that only you and your party could see if they were near you after you completed it or started it (Story Quest Only). (Some MMO) had randomly generated area's that would keep you coming back just to see what else you could find. (Some MMO) had bosses in a randomly generated area that only you and your party could get to after quest activation.

I don't really care how they implement one or what it has. As long as we get more to do than heavy grinding as it gets easily boring.

I have asked GM's about a Storyline Quest being implemented but they didn't know.

[lujunkai]

This game is different and relatively new, perhaps they thought that if the pets were random therefore the buffs "should" be random, too?

I don't think any Physical Attack Classes would ever need INT, but the chances of them getting INT mounts are completely random just like Magicians. However Magic users do have major disadvantage due to the fact that the enhancements give only the attack or defense buffs.

For example, when I was playing MU Online, the Wings in the game are designed to fit every single class. Blade Knights' Wings would never get Wizardry Dmg Increase, and the Soul Masters' Wings would never get Attack Dmg Increase as you upgrade it with Jewel of Life. However, in MU the Wings are separated by classes, it would not make sense to Increase the Strength of a Wizard when the Wizard clearly uses magics to kill. While on the other hand, the chances for any class to get any types of Wings were completely random in the game, too (but at least the upgrade is not, and at least you can trade your Wing for a different one from another player).

I strongly suggest OS to change the Mountable Pet Enhancement stats based on different types of pets, and for god's sake add the Magic Increase Buff!!! You can have Magic Dmg Increase Candies and no Magic Dmg Increase Buffs? What kind of balance is that?! An Int/Wis or an Int/Agi pet should never have a chance to get Attack Buffs and a Pow/Agi or a Pow/(whatever) pet should never have a chance to get Magic Buffs (which they won't b/c they don't exist, so what do they have to worry about? NOTHING, that's right!). While at the same time, all pets should have equal chances of getting Defense Buffs. That would actually make sense!!!

[lujunkai]

Also, I was wondering if Reinforced Shield of Immaturity can be stored into hotel b/c it can be used by mages, and it would benefit them by adding 1 defense and 5 mana.

[sorcerus]

ok...so it happened again...wen i start the game ...going 2 create a character ....a few moments later...it said "SoSClient.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."...so...yea...i tried downloadin again...still hav this problem...any other ideas... anybody??

I had that problem with Windows Vista, I still get the message about exe.client not forund, I went and downloaded the patch for windows and it works fine it says you might have to do it several times?? good luck

Post your comments, theories and suggestions about the Secret of the Solstice and the fate of Adeline & Marian.

Thanks,

- Break What's a kingdom without Castle's and horses with Chariot's? and the smaller towns need to be spruced up, they all are looking pretty much the same, no grass or trees, just patio paver's everywhere you look in town, Brynhilld did have grass and they took it out and put those ugly patio paver's, (people and pets use grass to sit on) All towns need hotels where we can go to store our items, speaking of storing Items, there's not enough space to store everything we need to store, making it harder to fill the quest orders and that takes the fun out of playing, because, you have to spend so much time trying to juggle your items you don't get to play. I want to say I'm so disappointed in the item removal in the Solstice Store, all my favorite Costumes and back packs are gone without warning and the lucky balls are starting to be a rip off, when I spend $25.00 on a card and buy luckballs I don't want to get a small potions,I bought several before and after the last sale of and got junk, no perms or large pocions out of several lucky ball's ,if i want party favors I would buy them,

THIS DOES NOT BELONG IN SOS STORY FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION! THIS SHOULD BE IN TROUBLESHOOTING.

NOW IF YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF TROUBLE PLEASE POST IN TROUBLESHOOTING INSTEAD!!!

OK, thats it. I hope this topic will be closed due to UNNECCESSARY POSTS like the following.

I know what I'm posting right now is completely unrelated. It seems that TOO MANY people make the wrong posts in the wrong thread. For goodness's sake! SEE THE TITLE OF THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING!!!!

Only some people really care about the story like me and I doubt you, the person who posted the post which I quoted, cares. So please leave this particular thread alone!

What's a kingdom without Castle's and horses with Chariot's? and the smaller towns need to be spruced up, they all are looking pretty much the same, no grass or trees, just patio paver's everywhere you look in town, Brynhilld did have grass and they took it out and put those ugly patio paver's, (people and pets use grass to sit on) All towns need hotels where we can go to store our items, speaking of storing Items, there's not enough space to store everything we need to store, making it harder to fill the quest orders and that takes the fun out of playing, because, you have to spend so much time trying to juggle your items you don't get to play. I want to say I'm so disappointed in the item removal in the Solstice Store, all my favorite Costumes and back packs are gone without warning and the lucky balls are starting to be a rip off, when I spend $25.00 on a card and buy luckballs I don't want to get a small potions,I bought several before and after the last sale of and got junk, no perms or large pocions out of several lucky ball's ,if i want party favors I would buy them,

Please put the costumes and BackPacks back in the store.

I have pages of feedback. One things that comes to mind right at this second is a preference ti disable guilld invites ; ) You can dissable whispers and such.

I had to create my own to stop the harassment. People invite while your typing then you have to pay kron to quit the thing. It gets frustrating when people abuse it.
