Basically. I'm rolling out a website in a couple of days and I got some questions and possible requests for the community.
The main idea is a Maplestory Hunting website. Most guides these days are outdated and the only way to find newer ones is to add "big bang" when googling to maximize the chances of finding a useful one. But if you're like me you just might need a simple way to input your class, level and funding and whoosh! have a list of the best places for you to hunt. Nifty no?
Anyhow, in terms of requests I'd love a simple name for the website. I was looking for Leafre but since the .net belongs to the korean community I'd hate to cause any confusion between .com/.net so that's not possible sadly.
But! I have a lot of questions,
1. What inputfields should I have when searching? Once I start adding data I'd be annoyed having to go through everything just because I forgot an important field. Right now I'm thinking of having just level, class and funding. Might also add some sort of 'intent-field' where you can choose if you want to earn mesos or pure exp gain. Am I forgetting something?
2. Should I integrate a usersystem to let people (appointed of course) manage guides on classes? This way all classguides would be gathered and updated regulary (hopefully).
3. Anyone who's interested in filling the database together with me? I'm an mage myself so I can most likely handle that area with ease but I have absolutely no idea on other classes where they hunt. Of course you'll get some perks like acknowledgement and possible ad income (All I need is for the server which is already full paid but about $5 USD/month, rest I'd rather give out to everyone helping out).
Quick info:
Design (80% complete)
Coding (50% complete)
RIght now I'm just waiting for the final verdict on everything but once I got it I'll roll the website out within a day or two.
Any other ideas, tips or questions - feel free to ask!
