Q: About The Mana World

Post by DaKaa »

How big is the world?

How active is the server?

What are the things we could do in-game?

Is this game on development?

Is this game gonna be cool?

Do you think The Mana World is gonna be famous? Or it is already?

How long do we still have to wait for the stuff we wish to be on TMW?

Is TMW server gonna have a wipe?

Is it worth it to spend my time on lvling?


TMW is like the mini version of Ragnarok... >.>

We are currently counting 21 maps.
How active is the server?
In this moment we got 34 players online. In the evening we got usually over 50. During some events we even reached the magical 100.
What are the things we could do in-game?
Not much yet. Just fighting monsters.
Is this game on development?
Yes, it is still in an early development state and under heavy construction.
Is this game gonna be cool?
Define "cool"
Do you think The Mana World is gonna be famous? Or it is already?
Define "famous"

Everyone who is working for TMW is a volunteer and volunteers work when they want and doing what they want.

When you have a specific wish then the best way to make it happen is making it yourself. The TMW developers community is always open to casual contributions on all areas. Do you want more maps? Map it. Do you want more areas, monsters or equipment? Pixel it. Do you want a special feature? Program it.

More information about how you can improve the mana world can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... he_project

(yes, the wiki got more than just a guild page for you to vandalize. I reverted your "changes" at the HMC paragraph, by the way.)
Is TMW server gonna have a wipe?
Yes. For more details check The New Server FAQ.
Is it worth it to spend my time on lvling?
Have you got fun doing it? When you are playing a game and it feels more like work than fun then you should ask yourself what you are doing.

Currently yes, because we are using a ragnarok online private server as a server plattform. This is a temporary solution to develope the client engine while our server with completely innovative gameplay is in development.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

If you like really don't like waiting then you might have a problem with this game. So far, as Crush pointed out, all we can mainly do right now is kill monsters, get items, and level up. Soon, maybe on the server switch, we might get some more stuff going. Correct me if I'm wrong mods.

Correction:

Immediately after the switch to our own server software you will probably be able to do far less for quite a while, but our development will come into usage faster.
