Now that I have more experience in certain areas like writing perl quest using DBI, starting to realize how we could make leader boards both on website and in game.

Would probably require a custom table to speed things up, rather than query the entire character and inventory table each time someone wanted to see for example the Top Ten Warriors via HP. Custom table would probably have CharID, Name, Race, Class, Level, HP, AC, Money, Time Played, and a few other things.

Maybe update the table when player logs in or connects? Some variables already available without having to do any queries, like $name, $race, $class and maybe some others in there to find $Client->HP or whatever the functions are.

Looking for ideas for Leader Board Categories such as HP, Time Played, Etc, and for how to implement it. Maybe even a server wide announcement when someone breaks the record, for example when someone sets a new record for highest HP, it would message to everyone about it, the players name, their hp, etc.

Anyways, just an idea I woke up thinking about a few minutes ago. Any feed back, help, and ideas welcome Smiley

The Vets of Magister are badass they not super vocal bit don't undercut them. There are a few sleepers that are geared out and rock too. So a lot of /shock for players if leaders go active.

BTW Gear doesn't make you a good player it helps most people.. Look at half the F'd up gimps in T7 still figuring out EZ basics

Could do top 10, top 50, top 100, variety of categories, etc.

Category: Ring of the Ages Ranks (Fugitive would be 1st place).

Ideas for categories. Top 10 rank items, (RoA, SoA), first to get items, Top 10 hp, Top 10 hp regen, (Same cats for mana), Top 10 played time, creation dates, (if this can be done as active only would be more relevant). May even consider doing instead of top 10 top 100. If it takes too much resources to do live update you could even have it do an update during reboot.

Don't use play time or any of that crap.
You want to use leaderboards that any joe can join the server and take a crack at if that is their cup of tea.
How long someone sits afk in game should not be rewarded with a possible leaderboard slot.

Stuff people care about:
AC
HP
Mana
Rare and hard to macro err acquire items

If we judged them by the content of their character, they'd be begging us to judge them by the color of their skin

I agree with Felony, no reason to use playtime as a ranking.
Would be interesting to add it for curiosity sake in other rankings.

HP rankings
1.soandso   2000000hp 1000000000days played
2.soandso2 1999999hp 100000000days played....


Would also be cool to be able to call up your ranking in the system. like...
/hpranking Premador

Premador is ranked #454 for hp on server.

Could add AA to the list of things to track!

RoA tracks AA no?   Tracking AA seems redundant.

Well after 500 ROA it would just stop no?

If you tracked AA it can keep going up! =p

Heh I'm all for it. I wish we could keep track of AAXP every day. Then we could see who is bot farming. :-P
