I'd suggest assigning it a project name for now, and as the game begins to take shape revisit naming it to fit what's best emerging as the game's strengths. For example, let's say we all decide on "Era of Combat" but as the game evolves, we find that support for multiple era or weapons/content from multiple eras works well for the game. Instead of leading with a game name, lead with a game vision/philosophy - that's more of what needs to be defined at this point in development.

My suggestion is to call it something like Project Combat, Project Conquest, Project Perfect Ass or whatever just to give us a way to refer to it, and then move on to the vision/philosophy. Nifield pretty much nailed that down in the prev post, but here's a slightly shorter take on it:



[ProjectName] will be a small arena-like combat game similar to Chivalry. Although there will be some Player-vs-Environment (PvE) elements, [Project] will be a Player-vs-Player (PvP) game at its core, using PvE initially only to augment or enhance the PvP gameplay.

Features
- arena-based PVP (would be good to lock down general team size)
- free for all loot
- high quality graphics (photorealistic? stylized? latest 3D effects?)
- alternative advancement skill and Stat progression from pvp points.
- hybrid leveling; xp/level based progression for stats, use based progression for skills


If I'm getting to into this or jumping too far ahead, let me know and I'll dial it back. :)

all input is good input Lok. The original proof of concept will be a one room arena, but we aim to include All the aspects listed http://www.knightsofterror.com/forum/showthread.php?9298-The-KoT-to-start-work-on-building-an-MMO-of-their-own%21-Investment-opportunities%21&p=90190#post90190 and create a full massively multiplayer game with crowdfunding.


that being said, here is how we will handle arenas in the end game MMO:

There will be two types of arenas, one that you can just walk into, and any fights in here will result in no gear falling on a corpse. Each player that dies in this type of arena will keep his equipment, and it will be mainly setup for users that would like to practice or test attacks without worrying about losing anything.

Second type of arena will be an instanced based arena, that you will be able to queue in from anywhere in the game. These arenas will have a number of options.

The person that queues for the arena is promted right off the bat whether he/she would like to do a Solo or Group instance. With either selection he/she will be prompted for what type of instance he would like to take part in:

1. Hardcore (free for all loot, winners take anything they want from the corpses, losers receive anything that was left on their body in a box only accessible by them where they respawn) PVP coins will also be on every corpse that dies in the arena, each corpse will have the exact amount of coins as the number of players on his/her team . Groups can set free for all loot, or split, with regards to PVP coins at the beginning of each instance. Players will also gain fame and have statistics tracked and displayed on both a camelot herald type website as well as in game. Players will not gain any PVP points from arena fights, and they will not gain any skills. PVP coins will allow players to buy fancy patterns for armor and weapons, or class specific gruesome finishing moves(kill blow) that can be applied when a player is unconscious to finish them. They can apply these patterns to weapons and armor they already have to change the look of them. These fancy patterns will not have ANY stats and will be 100% cosmetic, when applied they will change the look of an item but keep the same stats as the original.

After selecting hardcore/sport/ladder, you will need to select solo or group. If selecting group, all of your current group will be prompted to accept a hardcore/sport/ladder arena instance with you, the ones that do, will join you, the others wont. Once everyone has accepted/declined/or a 30 second timer has autodeclined them, the person that had originally queued the group will get another prompt to chose an even numbers match, handicapped match with the ability to select a handicap up to double your current group, or an even numbers or less match. Another 30 second timer will come up, and if nothing is selected it will default to even numbers match.

2. Sport - no gear looting, same rules as above.

3. Ladder - competitive no player loot, solo and group, group tracks the members in your group and will create a new entry for every different group combination you fight with. Also will have guild functionality where guild leaders can assign a specific group or groups to represent their guild. Ladders will award top players/groups/guilds with coin and rewards on a monthly basis and then reset.

Thoughts on the name "Rival Guilds"?

[Sith]

Thoughts on the name "Rival Guilds"?

Doesn't stand out to me. Something more memorable would be better IMO.

[Goraden]

I agree with sith, rival guilds screams cheesy ftp phone game.

[Nifield]

i'm still leaning to art of battle. any other ideas?

[Sagris]

Art of Battle sounds too subjective and sounds like you are were trying for 'Art of War'. People 'battle' to get to work, 'battle' going up a hill, and 'battle' with their siblings et cetera. I would just give the game a place holder name until it becomes more fleshed out.

[Mordakane]

Battle Legends
Battle Lords

[silent shadow]

I kinda like the name Kingdoms of Consequence.

[Sagris]

A game name should not be too long or have too many syllables in one word. World of Warcraft combined only has only four syllables. Kingdoms of Consequence has six combined and it just sounds silly like the name Silent Shadow. Of course shadows are silent, silly. Way to be fucking blatant about your namesake. Never heard a shadow make a peep before or do anything for that matter that would cause a sound to emit from its light deprived silhouette.

Just call the game; Of Devourment and Suffering. As I wish someone would come by and hurl me into their fucking maw and engulf me whole to end my own suffering as I read this swill.

Battle Legends. Ha. I bet some of you think you are legends.

Ha.

Haha.

BWA HAHA.

[Goraden]

I think too that right now it will be a place holder name. A more concrete name will evolve out of development.

[Nifield]

For now I've registered kingdoms of consequence as a place holder for the game. We also had a meeting with our team and the owner of spatial OS this morning, it went well and we now have access to the beta for spatial OS to play around with over the next few months. Sandraxus and I will be meeting almost daily over the next little while to hash out the information needed for the programmers to get started. We have also touched base with a rigger/modeler that does very nice work and may be coming on board once we have a functioning alpha.

So things are moving along. I will keep everyone updated.

[Sagris]

All quest/text shit should be forwarded to myself as none of you are capable of putting together a fucking coherent sentence.

See any mistakes in what I just typed? No? Yes?

[Sith]

Loving the name and acronym; KoC. In true Nifield style, people will be referring to his game as "Cock". This has my endorsement. :)

[Nifield]

Lol

[Sagris]

I support this. The 'expansion' should be named thusly; Findings Amongst the Guardians of Sagris or F.A.G.S for short. So it could be referred to as KoC and FaGS.

I do so support this.

[silent shadow]

I change my vote now i want Nights of Terror! If that can't be the name than i definitely want it to be Flying Pink Dildos in Paradise!
