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!
