Work has begun on the second incarnation of our server. Small tweaks and a few new additions will continue to be added to the existing module, however ... the bulk of my time will now be devoted to our EE version launch.
What changes are coming in the EE version you wonder? Many, including what is basically a ground up rebuild of the server as a whole.
- Subraces with their D&D 3.0-3.5 stats and racial preferences enforced.
- Resizing of some races and the ability to adjust your characters height based on source height ranges.
- New classes. (Still under development and review.)
- New spells.
- New feats.
- More options for weapon, armor and clothing appearances.
- Horses and pack animals.
- Henchmen/Hirelings for some of the low level quests.
- New tilesets as well as "EE" updates to current options.
- New placeable objects to enhance the environment.
- New creatures and appearances.
- A new custom item crafting system based on the current one. It'll include weapons, armor, clothing, scrolls, potions and other things.
- Revamped "cooking" recipes and expanded options.
- Customized loot based on the "Boss" defeated as well as better selections based on the creature killed or the type of container opened.
- Expanded stores.
- Expanded coverage of our source region, including more towns, dungeons and NPCs found in those sources.
- A timeline jump of 5-10 years from our current timeline.
Q&A
Q: Will I be able to transfer my current characters and accounts to the EE version?
A: Unfortunately not. Many new changes will break your current PCs. As time permits, I'll be happy to accommodate rebuilds of old PCs for the new launch. Most likely I'll limit it to one or two characters per player. (Per player, not account if you have multiple accounts here.)
Q: When will the new server launch?
A: Testing should begin around the 1st of September, 2020. The new server will be pass worded and available only to current members of our community until its official launch after New Years of 2021.
Q: Will my characters be wiped when the official launch arrives?
A: No. All characters created under the "Test" module will remain valid after the official launch.
Keep watching the forums for more information as things become finalized.
