| an update!! as my main comp won't boot windows any longer, i'm using an old P3 450 MHz with only 192 MB SDRAM (haha) at the moment and for the time being. i think its a motherboard problem but luckily i have a 939 spare. plus i was in the process of building a new one (am2). the coming week i will receive all the necessary components. so if all goes to plan and i get rom2 to work the Christmas Hat could be running in 2 weeks time. can't promise though, i'll do my best. |

| Yes I am interested in the Christmas Hat. Not sure how much time I will have to play. The band is getting busy and that's where my bread and butter come from. Lord Atton |

| starting horror with real minimal gear? lol in that case you'd only need just one horror map and that would be it. i wonder which map could that be ;) |

| typo... i mean a hat thats like max b2 gear for wars and max b3 or b4 for mages (talking quest gear offcourse) no shops and no inns! wel maybe shops who sell scrolls but no gear! think about clearing a whole horror map for full b2 + def att and pro... so you start doing horror with realy minimal gear... maybe using as much scrols as possible.. (hence the uber scrols shops ;) |

| general guide lines for making maps decide size of map -- split map in areas shape and extent of area does not matter for every area you want -- estabilish a theme -- decide if there is to be a town -- layout paths or walkways -- choose the kind of vegetation -- layout little groups of different trees here or there -- put rocks and few other embellishments to break the monotony of vegetation -- when finished refine the whole so that look more natural less synthetic -- put monsters and assign groups -- if monsters are too easy setup traps -- play test every area if it is a quest map make the starting area a hot welcome to test players kettle if they have means to survive they earn to play the rest level five spiders are not a surprise if you use many limit level five spiders and mix them with level four spiders with health equal to level five be mean and use traps or logic to bless a hand full of level four spiders some players instinctively waste time to curse a blessed spider without checking threat level -- leaving level five free to approach unscathed some players also walk back to buy time and check threat levels -- setup there few traps or logic to bless or haste level five spiders be extra mean and put two or more small groups of mixed spiders together shuffle re-spawn times of level five only make all level four re-spawn after the same time players that are fool to stay and fight shall be got off guard by the wrong spider -- soon or late according to original maps dragons and succubus are lone monsters -- sometimes aided by inferior races bats are annoying creatures -- and can be used to annoy players use logic to put few bats on patrol so they sweep the map send me money for tips |

| Ok BB King you make a hat I wil come and play. I still enjoy playing Rom2. Am I getting too old for this? Hummm I just don't play it enough to be a top player. But I do enjoy the game. There are things I would change if I knew more about programming and C+. But I would love to run amok in a new hat. Let me know LOL! Lord Atton |

| "[I]be short a chromosome or two[/I]" haha, just a minor shortcoming compared to me. with "support" i mean trying to get friends or people you know to come and play. like last year the hat could start around mid december, so a good month to go. |

| I think it's a GREAT idea. As far as challenging Defiant and I, perhaps you just need to come up with "special" rules that apply only to us (although I have no idea what those rules should be). Maybe people could start suggesting special rules for us under this post??!! When you say you would need "support" from a bunch of people, what exactly did you have in mind? Do you mean moral support or actual assistance with some of the tasks involved with creating/setting up the HAT? I'm more than willing to help out, but I try (as much as possible) not to get directly involved in other people's HATs simply because I tend to make them in my own image (no shops, very few inns, no skilling maps, etc). And when it comes to making totally new maps, I tend to be short a chromosome or two (it did take me nearly 2 years to make the 5 Abyssal maps afterall, and I'm still not 100% satisfied with them). |

| like last year's Reunion Hat? not as powerful gear tho, so not exactly the same hehe. although it's becoming more and more difficult to please (or challenge) players like Defiant and NOVA. It can even be a pk hat lol. I wouldn't mind setting it up. But for this hat to be fun and attractive it needs support from people, as many as possible. Downside is, as i have a new ISP with use of a router, i need Hamachi to run it :( What do you guys think about this idea? |
