Hi just a quick post on whats happening with the update. I have decided its probally best to change the core system to the MMO focused core due to it adding a ton of wishlist features and easy dev support so new addons can be made such a pet taming. The new system is a complete overhaul of core mechanics/controls so it will mean old characters wont be transferable BUT this new sytem allows for GM controls and a cash item shop which means i can use it for event items/giveaways Here is a screenshot of the new system so far (im still changing UI to new from the core default)
Here is a screen of the party, guild,GM and item shop (real cash/microtransaction)
The item shop is just part of the core system but will likely be used to do some minor shortcuts such as ore packs or skins to help pay for server when its live as these need to run on physical servers not cloud (Lucky it seems for small basic one i might be able get away with $40-50 a month so just manageable from personal funds to start) There is also apparently a premium member system which i need look into so you can set it so there member only quests etc but if i do this it will likely be linked with longer low price or something (like guild wars type thing of buy expansions then free for base game but extras to speed progress etc) Right now all the systems new so it will likely not go heavy into item shops except a few tests to make sure people can use it etc.
