Hello all. I figured I'd share this idea, because I read it somewhere, and thought it might be a good idea. =) So the credit goes to the person who first said it, and to me for bringing it out to the open.

I though the idea of having exp. bars for your stats would be nice. Like using a Broad Sword or something would build up your Strength mainly, Rapiers and daggers helping the Agi, Constitution can be increased by either taking hits, or wearing certain types of armor. Intelligence can be either increased by weilding Rods and staves in conjunction with using magic, or by possibly implementing a book system? (Ex: Zatra's tomb was an ancient place, so maybe Zatra himself knew of some art that he recorded in a book. Beating Zatra gains you access to this book, and by reading it you acquire a new skill.)

I thought the idea was good, and figured I'd bring it to your attention, in case you haven't already though about it. =) Any comments?

Not really sure to be honest. I just plucked it off the net. I thought it might have resized itself...but I was wrong. heh. But thanks. =)

I don't like the ideas of bars for the weapon skills, but levels could be nice.

Level 2 Staff skills etc.

If that system was in place, i'd go to the lowest level and fastest spawning area for ages to get my <stat> up a bit. then go hunting.

a bit flawed?

I am the one who had the original Idea but after talking with Hexedian about it last night and figured it wouldbe better if per level you would gain some atribute points per level but not as manyas in the original WiA, and what you used to attack would divide the stats only by what a weapon would actually give you, not every stat. So a sword would give Str Agi and Con. and if you ever neded to boost int and wis for some reason it you could you your attribute points

i liked the original skill system in akarra, where once you learned a skill, you could put gems into the skill. however, you shouldn't be able to take the gems out, or at least not more than once. if you use the idea of taking hits raises one skill, and hitting raises another, then someone will no doubt find some way of macroing their way to being super powerful. an example of this is tibia. i have a lvl 13 character with a dist skill of 50, while people who only hunt have a skill of around ~20.

If weapons raise your skills, then when you gain a level what would happen? It just raises your skills more?

Maybe using a certain type of weapon alot could improve your skill with that one type of weapon. I liked the gem system too, and they could work with each other to a certain extent. Possibly you could only fill in your 'Dagger Use 1' if you've used a dagger enough against certain monsters. So kill monsters with less levels for a first gem and monsters with higher levels for a second.
