Before anyone asks, this is a DEVELOPMENT, not a RELEASE. Don't ask for links because the project is only a few hours old.
Well. Most people seem to be using MUCore, or DmN CMSs, but those require licences, then people try to null them, people get annoyed because they paid for something others get for free, they can't add modules easily, etc, etc. So I've decided to make an open, free MU Online CMS for the RageZone community.
One catch - this will not support cash shops. Why? I'm a firm believer in the fun of old-school MU servers, where you couldn't make an MG until level 220, levelling was hard, shops had basic items and everything else was down to time and chance. I miss those days when MU servers had a more friendlier community, and trading was a viable economy. So, if this doesn't fit your idea for a server, don't use it. Simple as that, :).
Why am I posting while this project is so young? I want to hear your ideas! If you have an idea you think is good for an MU Online CMS to have that other CMSs don't have, make a post to let me know and I might put it in! This is a project for the RZ community, so it needs your input, :).
Features so far (will grow over time; remember, this has only just started, lol):
- Log-in
- Register (also creates the account's first character)
Planned features:
- Mini-games (Goblin Lotto, Charon's Castle Cards, Blind Hunt) - to earn zen, experience or skill points (configurable)
- Proper pages (so many CMSs don't include proper pages, e.g. a list of Classes, Events, Maps, Media - to show server community having fun, or even Quests page to help new users)
- Admin control panel (Remove Account, Ban Account, Ban IP, Add News, Configure Mini-games, etc.)
- Character functions (add points, reset/grand reset, PK clear, voting, statistics)
- Happy Birthday message and item per year (credit to Booms for the idea)
- Leaderboard (top 10 in sidebar, top 100 in navigation as a page link)
- CSS3 animation and HTML5 audio for the header (optional)

Like I said, please post any supportive messages (they're appreciated) and any ideas you have, because this is for the community, so I want to cater for as many good community ideas as I can (within reason).
How to recommend an idea:
Simple. Make a post in this thread, :). Instead of posting duplicate ideas (ideas people posted already), just click the Like button on someone's post if they have an idea you support. The more we all support everyone's ideas, the better.
