ok, this is my idea:

Characters

Warrior
Archer
Mage
Thief
Bard (might be considered)

however, this is the 1st job. i know it sounds really boring, but u get really interesting jobs when u reach lv30.

at lv30, u get to CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY. u have to go to your instructor and they will give u quests then they will direct u to go to either a DARK instructor or LIGHT instructor. they will give you another quest and when u complete the quest u will become a DARK/LIGHT character.

i have a very nice idea. it is to add a system that does not allow players that does not meet the level requirements to enter different training spots so that mass levelling isnt possible.

StoryLine

Since the beginning of time, gods have been chosen for this world and their main purpose
was to balance the opposing forces. The God of Creation, Aw'Des, created three kinds of forces:
the light force, the dark force and the earth force. As in the ying and yang, the three forces
are destinied to fight each other in order to aqquire balance between the gods. The God of Creation
also created something he didnt wish to. That was the rest of the creatures that roamed the world.
However, things are going to change...



The light force and dark force have been fighting since the beginning of time. Thanks to the fights,
it has sparked the creation of another force: the demon force. THey hid themselves well as creatures
that didnt semed to care about the wars. actually, they are bidding for time. They avoided all kinds
of conflict and started to build up their force. During the War of the Ancients, when the three forces
collided, the demon force appeared from their hiding holes to be the superior force. As the dark and
light are weak from the war, they have no choice but to accept the fact. However, the earth force have another
idea. they decided to ask the dark and light gods to merge their forces together and fight the demon forces.
All as the Aw'Des didnt plan to. Here your story is written....

give ideas on this ORPG =)

Feels like there's only "good guys" and "evils guys". The good guys just do "good stuff" and evils guys do "bad stuff". That's soooooooo unoriginal. I think there should not be "good" and "bad"(just like light and darkness). Every faction should have their own motives to defend or attack. I think you should change the name. Just my opinion though.

Personally, the idea of following quests to become a new class is nowhere near new for me, so I may be a bit harsh, but:
+Good and Evil is so unspecific; try making opposing groups, for instance <insert cool name> that is interested in keeping power over the country in their hands, that on the outside appeals to the public, but is unusually cruel in their methods of control, and the <insert rebel group> that knows of these injustices and tries to reveal them to the public, which made them public enemy number one to the first group.
+You level up into a teacher? booooring It might appeal to more people to create a split in each class with its own abilities, and maybe each special class can have some faction-specific path beyond that, but leave retiring to be a teacher as the "fin" of the game.

Beyond that, I can't really comment because I know nothing about the storyline beyond good v evil

u dont level up into a teacher. u find a teacher to level up.
well dark/light is in alliance and they are fighting the demon forces.
well the class is split isnt it? u get to choose between dark warrior or light warrior if u are warrior and u reached lv30 and u went to specific indtructors.

Imo Dark or Light RPG is far from original. You can give your RPG the name of the kingdom the action is set, or use the name of the main character ? You can also use the name of a historical moment in your world's History...

Maybe you can contact an admin to change the name of your thread ?

Ok concerning ideas...

I think you should really focus on the differences/storyline/background and so on between Dark and Light forces. Because this is a very casual based storyline.

Concerning classes you need to find unique classes. Nowadays there are so many map makers who choose has project a RPG... they all go the same way (tanker, healer, damager, buffer ~~) this sounds boring. Moreover there are already HUGESOME RPGs out there, and I dont know if you can beat them in their own battlefield. This is why you need to find something unique, to make players like your RPG for different reasons, not for just its quality.

Maybe add a "Karma" system for heroes, if they go below 0 they turn into dark side and >1 they are in good side. If they kill citizens/fill dark quests they obtain dark karma... for example.
This is a dark or light RPG... hum for classes:
Basically:
Paladin (Heal, Anti Undead, Defensive Buff) / Dark Knight (Heal, Unique Minion, Anti Holy)
Bishop (Anti Undead, Long Range offensive spells, Mass Heal) / Cultist (Mass Summoning, Offensive Buffs, Target One Offensive Spells)
Holy Knight (Offensive spells, Self Buff Armor/Hit Points) / Despoiler (Offensive Spells, Stats Decreasing Abilities (like Howl), Raising Dead)

Yo.. the word ORPG = me very happy(for one or other wierd reason lol)
But ORPG must have at least 6-8 characters...
Classes should be something as follows...
1. Warrior(But warrior has different areas..such as Rogue(same as thief), Beserker, Knight)
2. Archer(But Archer has more lol..Gunner, Slingshot(Hobbeit or goblin), Archer, Ranger)
3. Mage(But spliting mage up is better for there is alot one can do with magic..such as into Pyromancer, Hydromancer, Acolyte, Priest : 4 classes)
so these 3 Basic Classes have 11 specialized categories under them...

Bard??? what does he do? lol..sing his enemies to death with his falseness? lol kidding dude

ok. i shall explain all the heroes in detail with some storyline i made up in this min.


1st job-> 2nd job (dark) -> 3rd job (dark)
-> 2nd job (light) -> 3rd job (light)

5 (maybe 4) + (5*2)(2nd job) + (5*2)(3rd job) = 25

1st jobs

1st jobs are simple and they are meant to be. they all have skills a beginner need and a beginner can explore the different types of skills available to them. after which, beginners can choose which job they want and they can choose thier own path.

warrior

the warrior is like any rpg warrior. he have high strength but low intelligence (not an insult).

archer

the archer is like any other rpg archers too. he is a ranged hero with high agility and moderate strength and intelligence.

mage

the mage is also like any other rpg mage. he have a high intelligence but low strength.

thief

the thief is also like ny other rpg thief. he have high agility and moderate strength and intelligence.

2nd jobs

now, 1st jobbers can choose their destiny: either go and become a member of the dark or a member of the light. it is the best part of the game as most 1st jobbers will be enquiring about how good the jobs are and nervous to choose their sides.

dark warrior (have not thought of a name yet)

this warrior have decided to go onto the dark side and its now a member of the dark. the dark god have imbued his weapons with dark elements and his skills are all dark-based.

light warrior (have not thought of a name yet)

this warrior have decided to go onto the light side and is blessed with holy powers. the light god have imbued his weapons with dark elements and is more defensive. he have better defense than the rest of the jobs.

dark tracker

the archer have decided to go onto the dark side. now, he have powers beyond mortal. he have the power of the dead and is capable of mass kills.

light tracker

the archer have decided to go onto the light side. holy powers have seeped into every inch of him and now he have the power over the living.

dark mage (have not thought of a name yet)

the mage have gone corrupted and is now able to control dark power at will. now, hes able of using dark powers to his advantage and destroy those who oppose him.


to be continued... (sry im having a headache D=)

I'm the ORPG's terrainer and i have to say that in the end there will probably be three tears.

Tear 1:
Warrior - your tank with high HP and strength low mana and regen
Thief - melee dps specialist very sneaky with a lot of agility
Archer - ranged support hero with high agility and ok strength and mana
Mage - your ranged caster unit low HP but is very good with mana

Tear 2:

In tear 2 jobs become more specialized. For example if you were a mage or a warrior as your first job you can be a shaman. Shamen have high HP and mana and are partly associated with the light side, thus nature spells.

Tear 3:

In tear 3 jobs will be soulfully based on dark or light and your previous path.
For example if you were always a ranged agility hero: archer > crossbowman/pirate/etc > dark ranger

Hmm, maybe Bard should be, instead of heal + dps, support (shields, non-aura buffs) + Anti-Support (dispels buffs, stuns, slows, and so on, the enemies)
