just want share some idea XD
the idea from manga based isekai genre (Summoned hero & Reincarnate Hero)
its just like seasonal on diablo 3
main server and seasonal server
main server = normal server so ppl can focus on end game like pvp and woe
seasonal server = ppl want play fresh but dont want the server close cause lack of player
every 3 month or 6 month
season server start fresh
at the end seasonal, character from seasonal server transfered to main server
and new seasonal server will start after 1 month or 2 week
all item and character will transfered to main server
NO MONEY/ZENNY Transfered XD(suggestion)
seasonal server only can make 1 character (no need merchant for vending, can use autovending/trade npc)
disable time-effort based like alchemist rating
no warper....
official like server/episodic server
low rate....
how to play on seasonal server :
1.[Summoned Hero] =
Take character from Main server but reset level to 1 but job locked, if u reincarnate Rune Knight u can only change job to Swordman, Knight, Lord Knight, Rune Knight
Can Take Card/item from Main server for use on Seasonal server
2.[Reincarnate Hero] =
Start fresh :3
Get more reward at the end of season
how to make ppl play on seasonal server :
Reward at end of season can transfered to main server
Point based reward = take castle, max level, job 3
Example : Job 1 = 1 point, Job 2 = 1 point, lv 99 = 1 point, lv 175 = 1 point
Limited/hard earned reward like god item, mvp card etc(Modified Version with account bound)
Example : "Modified GTB Card" cant trade
Example : When this "Modified GTB Card" inserted to Equipment, the equipment became modified and account bound
Example : +20 modified refine , when weapon refined with this became modified version and account bound
Seasonal Server not always start from episode 1 and maybe some costume feature so ppl not bored :3
for example
Main Server : Episode 1
Start Seasonal 1 Server : Episode 1
Main Server : Episode 10
End Seasonal 1 Server : Episode 10
Main Server : Episode 11
Start Seasonal 2 Server : Episode 11
Main Server : Episode 17
End Seasonal 2 Server : Episode 17
Main Server : Episode 17.2
Start Seasonal 3 Server : Episode 1
Suggestion from other server i see :
Dual job/triple job (like Shining Moon RO)
2 realm renewal & pre renewal XD so ppl who bored no need make new chara/search new server
no montly/seasonal limited costume or item (can earn from hard quest :3 so no hard feeling for veteran busy ppl who want to play)
hope someone can make low rate server from my idea XD
This sounds like an incredibly complex idea which only works in your head. You need to think beyond that.
"How am I going to translate this idea into one my designer(s) can understand?"
"How will I market this?"
