A nifty little idea of mine.

Well I was in a game with Ace doing a scam and I got kind of board so I started thinking. What crossed my mind was "Something diffrent to do on D2" And I came up with this:

A giant war between Realms.

This might sound a little strange but let me explain, in detail, what I mean.

Alright first off this would pit realm against realm. West vs east and Asia vs Europe. They would be on a diffrent realm called: "Realm Wars" and than divided into "Weast vs East" and "Asia vs Europe." Once you've logged onto you would be asked which realm to join. After selected you will than make a standard acct like on normal realms. Once you've selected your character however you'r shoved straight into the heat. Well sort of. This is were things get diffrent.

Your basically in an entirly diffrent world. Still in Sanctuary, only froma diffrent perspective. The gameplay is still the same and everything only a little enhanced. Each realm has there own territory. Filled with cities/town/the workds. The goal is whichever realm takes control of the other realms territory would win. The catch: The opposing realm can re-take Captured cities.

The actual gamplay would be slightly diffrent. The camera is still the same. The items are the same except there aren't any sets that you can find (Ill get into this later) There would be ranks also, depends on how well you perform. I haven't thought of all of them however they'd go something like this:

Soldier: Cannot were sets. The standard character.
Lieutenant: A slight stats/speed/skill buff. Is identified by having LT. Infront of name.
Major: Can were a few minor sets. Has a slightly greater buff than Lt. and also has Major infront of name. Also has a diffrently colored Sylcone-Armor around him.
General Can wear all sets. Has a larger buff than Major and is Identified by a special aura (simillar to what you get for completing certain sets) along with the cyclone armor. Has Gen. Infront of name.

Also some sets bonus's would be remove. Mainly the "Aura" and "vampire" bonus for certain sets. In addition 2 uniques for every item would be added, along with more buff rares. Sets would greatly be buffed because there more of a privilage to wear. Skills would also have diffrences. For instance you cannot aim spells or ranged attacks over barricades, traps cannot shoot over tham, requiring to go around and kill whoever hides behind. There would also be more enviromental ineraction. Meaning you can to some extent smash barricades. Other examples incluce: Meteor's making craters when falling; more pots/chests to break; doors being bustable; and treeid catching fire/crashing.

All of this would go on untill a winner is found. After that the winner from both sets of realms would face off. Example: Eastvs Europe. After the final winner has been decided that realm would recive a special "Title" untill the next victor emerges, thus passing the "Title" to them.

Yes I know its long but please read and give your thoughts on this. Sword-Tip says I'm crazy but Kao likes it. What do you all thing of this?

Not exactly. As I said it would be an optional Server you could go on. You could still have regular realm play.

It cant be an FPS; no guns. Unless you count arrows.

Again its something I just thought of....perhaps make it a mod or something...

wholly shit, this is a ****ing amazing idea.

the only two things i can find wrong with it are
a) the time to make it
b) what happens when one build is found to be superior? almost EVERYONE is going to make that build, and it just becomes a massacre of the other side. not fun

there is one solution to problem b though... have limits on the ammount of X type character there can be. that way your almost FORCED to make other types of characters.

and variation of the entire thing... have massive class wars. zon's versus necros. sorcs versus pallys.

I dont expect anybody to make anything like this Viz:p

It was just an idea I thought up of. Still would be pretty cool if it happened though.

Also about the skill superiority: that wouldn't happen because I would ensure there perfectly balanced to allow maximum diversety.

isn't d2 supposed to be completely balanced? all chars having an equal chance of surviving in hell?

yah... people always find a way to **** the system and have everything tip in there favor

unless of cource your running the entire thing, so you can just code out all unbalance once it happens.

I think that there shouldn't be ranks. Then everyone will try to get general, and it'll be pointless.

Instead of a huge battlefield, get lots of small tournaments, much like in the Medieval days- everything was based around them. You would all be in the same game, go mf, whatever you do to find items (in this case, rares would ALWAYS pwn uniques, but would be so hard to find, it would be next to finding 4 wf's from pindle back to back). Then, when you are satisfied with your character, you and a few others, or you yourself, would go to the tournament held on a certain time or day. You could duel for whatever you would bet on. For instance, there could be tournies for rare items, unidentified stuff, life (from elixers), mana (elixers), stats (elixers), resists (scrolls), and on and on. But, there would be a "limited bonus" given to one player that wins and wins. So, lets say Player 1 just won a Life Pot. Then, in the next 10 tournies, he wins the prize. When he would get to the 5th tourny win, the prizes would be put in a stash and "locked", so he would not be able to gain a big advantage over other players until they have grown strong enough to challenge him.

Accually the best way of getting people to use all races is to make them all help each other, you know how a paladon has aura's, a baba has battleorders, sorc has enchant, it would be smth like that. BTW ive thought of this idea many times before, just never posted because it isnt praticle.

It's not pratical, not here at least. Maybe if I knew alot more about coding and the like, I could attempt something like this. I think it would be fun.

Yea, aren't they making something like that for Final Fantasy XI?

Or maybe I'm thinking of a different game, but still good idea. :)

I would, if I knew more about coding, attempt to have a mod like this, but all I'm good for is planning and ideas. Argh!
