Hello everyone, id like to take a moment in Introducing The Elysium Server.

We have been working for a few months now tweaking the source and creating unique content that will allow all styles of play to enjoy themselves. We have also just finished up development of our first custom mini expansion which will revolve around Mayong Mistmoore and his ascension to becoming a deity. Below I will highlight some of our server features.

General Information

•The server has been developed for solo/duo level and 6 man raids.

•Hub zone with buffer, teleporter, aug pools, armor quests, charm quests, tradeskill master, vendors and more.

•Completely custom stat scaling. Every stat has been adjusted and balanced to gradually make the player feel more powerful as they acquire more gear.

•Custom pet scaling. Pets have been sourced into our DB as a rule and scale with the charisma stat. We chose charisma since players need to make an informed decision when min/maxing there character. Questions like will I be more useful taking an extra 30 charisma and losing 20 intelligence is what we are looking for here.

•All stats are capped at 5000 for now. Players will not reach this cap for some time but after discussing it with the team we decided we would allow the gear determine the cap and not an artificial ceiling.

•Classic through PoP has been scaled to allow for solo play. All keys and or flags are in place for people who like nostalgia. All bosses respawn times have been set to one hour for this era.

•Custom progression consists of five zones that are a little more difficult than classic through pop, but have rewards matching the difficulty. Two custom raid bosses have also been placed in the custom progression zones. Unique charms with a cure click effect can be obtained via quest.

Tier 1 - Mayongs Ascendance

•Access is acquired by defeating a powerful foe in the custom progression zones.

•New secondary hub with a unique faction titled the Vampire hunters. Daily task can be obtained here for great rewards. We have also given players the choice of raising faction with The Legions of Mistmoore as well.

•Vergarlid Mines and The Foundation - Both of these zones are for the soloers. These zones boast there own bosses (15 named mobs per zone) with unique gear (over 60 items including augments)choices and are the place to be to complete your daily quests.

•Dreadspire Keep - This is our first fully custom raid zone. We have 15 boss encounters with unique mechanics to not only test a players gear but to test there skill, awareness and reflexes.
