SoD has many qualities that are better and different than EQlive (everyone agrees at this point=)) I was trying to think of something fun, based on guilds and more that wouldn't take much codeing or work to construct. But, more than likely it will be some work. Hehe
But, basically you make an all water zone War Crying Sea or something make it PvP. Like the role-playing guild is paying for the city to rebuild, guilds can buy boat of basic design like the transport one or make warship (what ever floats your boat=)). The boat could have a modification to press a button (like tree lifts in old GF) that extend a board so you can board another ship. Control wise the ship will be controlled by guild leader or highest ranking officer or appointed member. but once they get in a certain range of an enemy ship the computer takes over and makes them pass each other for till someone the boarding plank is pressed, they will be evened up the plank will extend then they fight it out!
When a guild kills another guild member after boats are connected they port to a prison room on ship only able to talk. If they fall of boat they can come back up via ladder in back of the ship. But, if no one is on the ship they get ported back to bind point.
After one guild is completely defeated they port back to their bind point. The guild that wins gets admission money put up buy guild to enter the zone to battle.
If you want to up it, do the same thing but add a health bar to boat and cannons so when boat is destroyed they win. During the passing of the ships the cannons can fire. But, after 25% a boat can’t deploy the plank they have to fight it out. Ammo for cannons could be created by blacksmiths, can make real difference and have many different kinds of cannon alls (enchanted).
You could build off it a lot of ways, having tournaments or make ship upgradeable. Even add an option for more than one boat per guild so a guild could have a fleets battle it out for supremacy.
Very different idea compared to EQ very unique. Any way another idea as a i sit here bored trying to think of something cool for server hehe
Below is a high detail picture of possible ships!
Iksar Crew FTW!
