As you all know it takes a lot of work to release new races and get all the abilities working. Unfortunately b/c of the current stages of development and to reduce bugs I do not take code contributions for races themselves as a whole right now. However, there is another side to race development and updating that does not require me to directly make everything b/c even if I need to reprogram what you did to work better in the confines of the race itself it is the creation to begin with that takes all the time.

What I am taking about is effects and notifications. All the races have them and they are a major thing that effects game play. Well in order to speed up development and to enrich the server I invite all of you to come up with your own effects for existing abilities and races or even ones for future things or something that just looks cool but your not sure what I might want to use it for. You do not need to have a particular race or ability in mind but let us know if you do.

While ideas with detailed descriptions are welcome I encourage you to try your had and coding effects and post what you came up with here along with some pics of it in action. Do not limit yourself to visuals. You can think up and post cool soundeffects that can go with existing abilities/effects we already have or new ones you can think up. Also you could even find a better way of formatting the output for the chat notifications with better colors ect.

Lastly, I will sometimes make requests for work in this thread. This is to speed up development of very complex or time consuming effects or to see if others can find a better way to do it. You can think of them as effect challenges. These challenges can also be used as sort of a training to get into effect development or for those of you who want to learn more about what it takes to make some of the more complex effects work.
