Pandahut staff has already said why there is a 24 Player Cap
My original plan was to increase the player count for the following reasons
[*]Drop's off the server list so normal KOSer's cannot see the server, only people who want to cause Pandahut strife.[*]Easier to staff meaning that less staff have to be online due to the reason above
[*]Better Roleplay due to the increased player count and more people to talk to
I wanted to bring the idea forward to the community so they can decide and elaborate on the idea to make it better for the future community. [/b]
lets talk more about how the server itself will be managed
The server would be very easy to manage due to the reason's stated above in the last point.
rule wise
More Hardcore rules will be in place, I also plan on adding a rules box at the starting spawn so that new player's can get a insite into the Pandahut rules and the laws of the server, this should mean more players have a better understanding of the rules.
Could be worked on: A questioner at the end of the rules to see how much they have remembered, maby if they fail they are unable to join the server.
job concepts, how players will make profit
Starter jobs, could include
[*]Supermarket
You stock the shelf's, serve people, receive deliverers from farmer's who grow the crops
Only able to stock basic foods while restaurant's and such stock higher quality food.
Run by a manager who oversees the operation and bisnues of the supermarket, can promote demote inside of the bisnus. Low/Minimum wage for starter players
[*]Gas stations
You stock the pumps, serve people, receive deliverers from Gas trucks.
Stocks gas pumps so that people can use it for their cars, maby run the mechanic's next door, pritty uneventful job but you have to start somewhere!
These are some of the jobs that you could do when you start, all is in discussion at the moment.
how panda-hut will make profit
A hardcore Roleplay server is what people are desperate for and with even more people wanting to join Roleplay and Pandahut raising day by day, I'm sure the donations should roll in but then again I'm not a server owner myself. Maby make it so you do not have to start at the bottom and you start in the middle class area with a wee bit of money, I do not want it to be overpowering like some other server other wise it is over kill and people don't like it. Try to balance it out so it's just a sort of booster with some other thing's.
Sorry about the long rant, but raising the player cap is a ongoing issue that should be dealt with bluntly and delaying it is dealing the inevitable, maby Nelson with somehow make the net code better some day, that's for the future to decide.[/b]
