I use to run some small-time servers a while back, back sometimes before last GoD I belive ( or near its release ). And I always had an idea about a true legit server. But until recently, I did not take the idea seriously..I now do. And so, begins my starting of the planing of the "Ever-Server" ( I doubt this will be the accual server name...Just the project name :nods: ). But what will seperate this server from the rest? Well, let me explain. Let me start off with listing some of the hoped for features of the server.
*True legit experince points -- I am hoping to be able to adjust the way experince works, making it more difficult to level (no 65 in a few days) to create a true Everquest experince ( but it won't take a year to get there either! )
*More Quest -- Like the real Everquest, many more things will be based off of quest. Armor and certin items will only be able to be abtained by questing.
*Raid mobs -- No longer will a raid dragon be able to be solo'ed. There will be mobs that require 2 or more groups to take down.
*Armor -- There will be (hopefully) custom armor. I was hoping to able to re-design weapons and armor fully, to create a toally custom experince. This will add a little twist. The armor however, will not be god-like! It will fit the class and level.
*Friendly support and Server Admins -- Unlike the real everquest admins, we ( hopefully we ) will accualy care about you. Because we don't care about your money, we care about the players. We will take in suggestions made by the people who play the server and accualy try to implement some of them! ( yes, for real!)
This is only a taste of what I have planned. I have been forming the idea of this server for a while. I will also try to have as many zones up as possible, or just put a couple of EQ zones in and build some of my own ( OpenZone can do this, correct? ). I will even try to implement custom classes and races ( however I will need help making models ). Im being very serious about this. I even plan to buy a 2nd computer ( not a crappy one, a hopefully Alienware quality ) to host the server DB.
Though I will try my best, I cannot do this alone. So this is where I request your help. I need as many people possible, in all skill catogories. The more people with the same skill, the quicker and more effecient it can get done. Here is the rundown of how the server will be done..
Planing stage >> Design stage >> Building stage >> Releasing Stage
I plan to stick through will all the stages. If you need download the custom files for the server, I am hoping to have my own download client set up for download through the site ( which will be designed during the Design & build stages, hopefully by me or a skilled web designer who decides to join the team). And I don't plan to just let the team help me get it running then shun them, they will all have high positions on the server management team ( if they desire so, I won't force them) and they will be given credit.

Thats about all I require you to fill out. Any additional information you wish add in, add it. And note, I am being serious. And im hoping to have some helping hands in this. For no one is skilled in everything. So, you put skilled people together, it shows in the final product. And so, I post...
