What is Another World? - WandererWillow - 2008-08-18
For the past two weeks, I've teased and hinted about Another World. For those that were good enough to pick up on the movie thread, it was, in fact, a countdown. I've heard it alot the past two weeks..."What is Another World?". It's time to answer that question.
Another World is a forum add-on RPG world that will allow all our forum members to play alongside eachother in a fashion not unlike MapleStory. However, while we've used many images and other things from MS, we've completely created our own world, with our own story, quests, people, items, etc etc. There were many hints I gave that point to things inside the story itself that I will not answer, as you'll still have to figure those out yourself.
So, lets get right into it. Another World utilizes the RPG Inferno engine with some modifications to allow us to do what we're looking to do the best way possible. Those unfamiliar with the system can get some information at Inferno Technologies website. Players will be able to connect to the RPG straight from the forum, and play through the massive world alongside fellow SP lurkers.
Now, the part where I expect some disappointment. This is not the RELEASE of Another World. I'm close, but it's still not 100% ready as I need to make sure everything is balanced. The mods will soon have access to beta test, then we'll be releasing it a week early to all donators before the rest of the community can hop into it. So far, here is what will be available upon the opening of Another World.
-Levels 1-50 will be supported (with more expansions coming later)
-3 known solo-able bosses (Ghost Fox, Chinchilla King, General "Mad" Jack)
-1 known team boss (Dragon)
-4 accessable lands (Lupa, Elise, Chinchilla Island, and Blizz)
-6 different pets, to include a dog, a cat, and 4 types of chinchillas
-Multiple different weapons, outfits, and other things
-Gamer Cards to show off your RPG info in your signature
-12 "hidden" locations that you can only access through certain storyline/quest arcs
-Tons more to come
We'll be holding special events and other things inside AW that will be giving away rare items, to include the Grand Opening event that will allow you to get things such as the Firework Launcher (ranged weapon).
Lastly, congratulations again to Stereo, who wins an extremely rare Golden Chinchilla, which can only be gained through special events. Stereo will recieve their chinchilla when the game opens, and will have the companion to take with her right away while others will have to wait until being atleast Level 10 to buy a pet, or Level 20 to face the chinchilla king for a chance to get one of three chinchillas (white, black, and grey).
I'll be opening up a few topics in the Another World forums to answer any questions, take any ideas, and so on. I hope to have more info for you guys as it comes closer to completion! Thanks again for supporting Southperry as much as you all have!

EPIC (and 1st)

That sounds great! Shame it's not coming today...but I'm really looking forward to it, now that I know what it is.
Is this a chinchilla themed RPG? :f6:

Sounds kinda cool I guess? A whole extra week for donators seems like a lot, but I guess they deserve it since they keep the site running =p
What is Another World? - RideBMX - 2008-08-18
I found the "...and 4 types of chinchillas" for pets to be quite humorous.
Until I see something, I'm pretty much apathetic towards the release.
What is Another World? - Blankout - 2008-08-18
Hm...doesn't seem like a grindfest game.
What is Another World? - EngelRod - 2008-08-18
This looks cool
im looking forward to it.

Interesting.................very interesting.
What is Another World? - Raven - 2008-08-18
I guessed it before, sorry. Pretty nice though, too bad I'm in school now though so... won't be terribly active.
What is Another World? - whybanme - 2008-08-18
Think you could post some pic spoilers?
If not, definitely sounds interesting. I wanna play!
What is Another World? - Wani - 2008-08-18
More or less what I was expecting
Sounds good though!
What is Another World? - Hypermug - 2008-08-18
Sounds awesome.

Damnit no. Forum RPGs are lame. Stop it.
What is Another World? - Dyxanije - 2008-08-19
Sounds extremely epic, I'll be eagerly looking forward to the release.
The one week for Donators sounds like a nice incentive for those who help keep this place alive.
What is Another World? - Chameleonic - 2008-08-19
I thought it was a game of some sort. I'll check it out.
What is Another World? - D-F1am3 - 2008-08-19
Sounds like a fun.
I wonder how the game will work, must we refresh alot?o_o
What is Another World? - WandererWillow - 2008-08-19
It runs through a specific coding that auto-refreshes everything, so no, not really.
What is Another World? - Anything - 2008-08-19
WOO, I'm 99.99% I guessed it first! (08-05-2008, 06:56 PM EST)
Anything Wrote:Why do I have this odd feeling that it'll be some kind of RPG thingy on the forum? I definitely hope it isn't. ;X
More hints please?

[/URL] There's an edit today because I noticed a spelling mistake, I'm serious. >.<
Sooo, do I win something? <333
Edit - This was before I became a donator, I say this because there's pretty much a huge hint in the donator's forum.

Ew. Forum RPGs are...ew. >.>; I hope it's not another one of those things that encourage people to spam all over the place for "gold" and whatnot.
