Bring back the forum...
i think adding new cards and creating a ban list would work.
sorry for saying new cards but just putting a banlist on the curraent cards would leave out most of the cards on dmo.

What did/didn't you like about it?
I liked the fact that it had an automatic system. But I didn't care to much for the graphics. Maybe using GBA sprites would make them better.

What features did you like or not like?
I thought it had a very nice simple deck editor system.

What would you do differently?
I would add a money system to buy cards and stuff. Maybe add a duel disk hub or something. I would also stay away from the newer cards and duels, seems like too much work and the motorcycle thing seems stupid. I would also try finding a dedicated host or even buy a server.

What kept you playing or drove you away?
What kept me there was the automatic duels but what drove me away was putting together a whole deck. (Can't really fix that I'm just lazy lol.)
Would you rather collect/buy/win cards?
I don't see what you mean by collect but I think it would be great to win and buy cards! It's not as exciting to have all cards right away.

Would you prefer a lobby system instead of walking around or both?
Walking arounds, but maybe being able to be invited to a duel. And if you say yes teleport you to the duel map.

If you were trying to remake DMO, what kind of ideas and systems would you implement? I would add ante duels (duels where you can bet a card and winner gets to take losers card.) I would also allow people to sell their cards along with trade them.

Did the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Online have any neat things you liked? Such as duelist levels and your own room?
Never heard of that.

Would character customization be important to you?
Yea a little bit. Like to look good.

Imagine you could re-shape the entire game, what would it look like?
I would make it a city environment with lots of different buildings.
Would you not add "Shadow Cards" or the Gods/Dragons?
Hmm... I would add them but they would have to be EXTREMELY hard to find/get. And make it realistic, have only 3 of the gods.

Would you abandon a global chat and separate the game into lobbies/areas/rooms more like a chat game?
Absolutely not. lol

Would you leave out some of the "broken" or "staple" cards(adding in weaker replacements?)?
Maybe. Depends on the card.

Would you change some card rulings to make them more interesting or usable? Examples: Removing Harpy Lady limitations, reducing DMG's level and other weird things?
Nah, need to keep it original.

Would you use the lobby to quickly find duelists over entering tournaments? Did you only enter tournaments to find opponents?
I like tournaments better because it allows you to test yourself in a competition against other players.

What ways would you add player progression, or enhance the community? Groups? Group housing? Community tournaments? Monthly challenges or competitions? Host a bi-monthly large tournament like the DK?
How would you pull all this together?
I would give players levels showing their experience. And DK would be awesome.

Other ideas, thoughts, opinions?
Great game

What did/didn't you like about it?

What features did you like or not like?
It was automatic that was helpful

What would you do differently?
well i would make a shop were you had to win matches for points or mmoney and buy packets that way everyone would be different decks instead of everyone having basically the same cards all round.

What kept you playing or drove you away?
it was an ok game tornamets kept it goin what drove me away sometimes was the fact everyone copied each other plus the we couldnt join the game

Would you rather collect/buy/win cards?
buy or win taht would make it more good

Would you prefer a lobby system instead of walking around or both?
walking around was ok doesnt matter

If you were trying to remake DMO, what kind of ideas and systems would you implement?it was fine the way it is just add shops and sell or win buy cards etc

Did the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Online have any neat things you liked? Such as duelist levels and your own room?well a room would seem too much

Would character customization be important to you?well taht was done already in the game so doesnt matter

Imagine you could re-shape the entire game, what would it look like?i suppose a town,shool etc

Would you not add "Shadow Cards" or the Gods/Dragons?get rid of gods or just let there only be 3 cards and have people try win them

Would you abandon a global chat and separate the game into lobbies/areas/rooms more like a chat game?well some people talked alot of shit so make an option to have it on or off

Would you leave out some of the "broken" or "staple" cards(adding in weaker replacements?)? sure whatever

Would you change some card rulings to make them more interesting or usable? Examples: Removing Harpy Lady limitations, reducing DMG's level and other weird things?well fair is fair whats on the card should do whats on the card effect wise

Would you use the lobby to quickly find duelists over entering tournaments? Did you only enter tournaments to find opponents?yah so many people you couldnt choose or some people were picky with who vs who so automatic tournamet thing was handy

What ways would you add player progression, or enhance the community? Groups? Group housing? Community tournaments? Monthly challenges or competitions? Host a bi-monthly large tournament like the DK?
How would you pull all this together?monthly competitions would be good, groups housing makeing your own gang, maybe territories each gang made would have some territory and take it over when they have group battles but stupid but yah know

Other ideas, thoughts, opinions?just keep the automatic thing up graphics dont need to be epic but the shop thing getting god cards to a mininum of only 3 mainly




Be sure to give details and ideas where possible.
i love all the features except the loop hole in defeating the god cards and other divine beasts..... more cards should and are needed to be added... such as "THE SIX SAMURAI"
Can you guys like... Not copy and paste the whole thing to give such a short answer O_x...
-Find a way to increase player cap. (I assume that's what you guys were trying to do with the server migration)
-"Please Wait Between Messages" gets annoying after awhile.
-Increase time to be afk before being booted. Or, set up lobby so that if you go AFK on icon map, you get sent back to lobby (?)
(This is all just server based stuff..)
-
Fantastic game except god cards kind of were annoying at times besides that it was fun and I hate synchros ;D
If you prefer to copy/paste the questions, it's fine. Comment format isn't important, I'm only after information and player thoughts, it doesn't have to be pretty or make sense to the general public.
What did/didn't you like about it? I dont like that there is no rated/records. I like how organized it is, and how well coded it is compared to other Yugioh games.

What features did you like or not like? I dont like the customizable character. I dont think its needed I rather have more cards.

What would you do differently? Not much since im not a coder.

What kept you playing or drove you away? Seeing whats in store next for the game with the big update kept me playing and some of the people in the game.

Would you rather collect/buy/win cards? Depending on how you do it I would be done for this

Would you prefer a lobby system instead of walking around or both? walking around is fun.

If you were trying to remake DMO, what kind of ideas and systems would you implement? I would add records and some sort of ranking system. Have a monthly tournament like DK was, but instead of having 80+ playing in the DK. Make it where tournaments on the server leading up to this tournament count. So say the top 20 or so are able to do a DK.

Did the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Online have any neat things you liked? Such as duelist levels and your own room? Idk what this is.

Would character customization be important to you? No

Imagine you could re-shape the entire game, what would it look like? I like how it looks now.

Would you not add "Shadow Cards" or the Gods/Dragons? I like the diversity, but if you were going to combine both I would leave the gods out.

Would you abandon a global chat and separate the game into lobbies/areas/rooms more like a chat game? No

Would you leave out some of the "broken" or "staple" cards(adding in weaker replacements?)? No, but maybe have a tournament option that lets you ban cards or have a point system(similar to how DK was).

*extra comments*

I want to thank you Kajika for sticking with the game for as long as you have. Most people dont know what you have gone through and the countless times you thought about abandoning the game. The community at one point was so bad I really didnt see the point in you even updating the game anymore.
Hey Kajika i think your game is great i love everything about it, at the moment i am so itching to play it i would pay $10 a week to play
what ever you do DoNOT turn it into a lobby chat game!
the best thing about DMO is the automatic dueling, all those other yugioh games on byond are ruined because its manual
take care kajika good luck
the graphics dont have to be brilliant if i were you i would give up on the graphics if that can speed up the game comming back
I like how dmo is automatic, shadow realm is a good idea it gives the game some originality. Ranks would be a great addition, or at least tracking every persons win/loose record (kind of like DI did). Maybe rated tournies where the winner would receive points or something. Adding new cards would be nice, also if there is ever any space problems arenas like 3 on 1 should be raplaced with something also since there barely ever used.
To tell you the truth I really think that a you need someone to monitor the global chat, or remove it. If an 8 year old playing this game would read some of the things on global chat... It won't be nice.
Don't completely block out certain cards, limit but don't restrict them completely, it makes your game original.
-What did/didn't you like about it?
i mainly like the playing system, its better then manually playing it. I disliked the many floors not being used. (to many)

-What features did you like or not like?
i like generally all of it.

-What would you do differently?
make less rooms, earn cards/win

-What kept you playing or drove you away? kool choices of cards, what drove me away was everyone had the same deck

-Would you rather collect/buy/win cards?
win

-Would you prefer a lobby system instead of walking around or both?
either or is fine

-If you were trying to remake DMO, what kind of ideas and systems would you implement?
lots of animations

-Did the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Online have any neat things you liked? Such as duelist levels and your own room?
never played

-Would character customization be important to you?
its fun but not really a high priority

-Imagine you could re-shape the entire game, what would it look like?
easy to navigate

-Would you not add "Shadow Cards" or the Gods/Dragons?
id add them, but take out the shadow title

-Would you abandon a global chat and separate the game into lobbies/areas/rooms more like a chat game?
its better when everyone can see the chat, like for people to ask questions or to duel people

-Would you leave out some of the "broken" or "staple" cards(adding in weaker replacements?)?
add as many cards as possible

-Would you change some card rulings to make them more interesting or usable? Examples: Removing Harpy Lady limitations, reducing DMG's level and other weird things?
no, play it like its suppose to

-would you use the lobby to quickly find duelists over entering tournaments? Did you only enter tournaments to find opponents?
lobbys better, tournaments just for fun

-What ways would you add player progression, or enhance the community? Groups? Group housing? Community tournaments? Monthly challenges or competitions? Host a bi-monthly large tournament like the DK?
How would you pull all this together?
I wouldn't really do groups (unless u mean group duels), that would effect a lot of the new players. the events can easily pulled off with the right mods and hosts.

-Other ideas, thoughts, opinions?
for the love of god choose the moderators wisely, don't just pick the dedicated.
What did/didn't you like about it?
-good game to kill 10 - 20 minutes on
-dueling system was nice, most of the time there was no lag
-tournaments were nice
-free game whats not to like...

What features did you like or not like?
-sdm was really nice
-god cards + divine made shadow pretty different from normal dueling

What would you do differently?
-put sdm back

What kept you playing or drove you away?
-new cards also kept the game interesting

Would you rather collect/buy/win cards?
-depends on how the system works. If you had to collect/buy/win cards through dueling other ppl it would be hard for a new person starting to get anywhere.

Would you prefer a lobby system instead of walking around or both?
-walking around was nice

If you were trying to remake DMO, what kind of ideas and systems would you implement?
-bringing sdm back would be nice with double dm option too
-ranking/stars system like before - little competition never hurt anyone lol
-clan system would be nice - clan wars were an added dimension and an interesting part of the game so
some sort of legitimate clan system would be cool

Did the official Yu-Gi-Oh! Online have any neat things you liked? Such as duelist levels and your own room?
-dunno never played

Would character customization be important to you?
-not really except for the star system

Imagine you could re-shape the entire game, what would it look like?
-pretty much the same, its cool the way it is

Would you not add "Shadow Cards" or the Gods/Dragons?
-they're both pretty good except with divines and certain magic cards slifer and obelisk were pretty useless
-the pseudo gods didnt seem that good

Would you abandon a global chat and separate the game into lobbies/areas/rooms more like a chat game?
-global chat is good - keeps the arguments going which keeps things interesting lol

Would you leave out some of the "broken" or "staple" cards(adding in weaker replacements?)?
-dunno what it would be like to play without staples but with the current card selection no staples would make a lot of the current deck builds useless and would probably result in some pretty new workable deck builds. but in general staples are nice, they keep the game fast paced.

Would you change some card rulings to make them more interesting or usable? Examples: Removing Harpy Lady limitations, reducing DMG's level and other weird things?
-big bang blow? - change back to old rules,

Would you use the lobby to quickly find duelists over entering tournaments? Did you only enter tournaments to find opponents?
-tournaments were nice, some sort of prize would make them sweeter

What ways would you add player progression, or enhance the community? Groups? Group housing? Community tournaments? Monthly challenges or competitions? Host a bi-monthly large tournament like the DK?
How would you pull all this together?
-old system of collecting stars is nice, and some sort of clan based system

Other ideas, thoughts, opinions?
-hehe bring back sdm -2dms and I'd be pretty happy xD
-if you need a permanent mod I'm available =p
I would prefer a lobby system, faster duels and u dont have to run around to find a dueling arena. other than that, the game is GREAT as is. Though i do like the running around too.
Thanks Kajika, for working hard on the new DMO.:)
I liked having my own roon and the duelist levels ,cusomizing your own charachters would be cool , and also Thanks for working on DMO its my fav byond game ;)
I would say DO NOT move on to 5D's, i seriously hate that. Motorbikes?? I can understand GX I liked the series but please do not move onto 5ds it would ruin it.
Also add filters or something to the world chat, if an 8 year old was playing this game they would see things on world say they shouldn't. It is what drove me away, too many weird/horny/rude people on world say...
