Blood of the Akkadian (BETA) - Page 2

I've been involved in some pre-Beta, and I gotta say it's been a lot of fun so far! A few wrinkles still, but Akka is ironing those out as they're found. Great work by the dev team so far, and I'm looking forward to the opening of the server! I love having a story to follow, and I've had fun working through a few quests. I've played on numerous servers over the years, and this one really has a chance to be one of the special ones - definitely one to keep your eye on!

I am curious to learn about:

-Completely different mechanics of traveling the world that we have structured.
-UNIQUE Spell systems for characters
-Unique world/zone structure system.

could you give detail what is it about?

I am currently playing in the "alpha" stage.. So far I am REALLY enjoying Blood! For us old EQ players, theming the thing in the original old world zones is simply perfect. The story so far is very captivating! This is not just a server of hack and slash, grab loot and be "uber". Without revealing too much, I'll just say that there is a timeline and my toon has a "purpose". Hats off to Akk and the team for a masterfull server!

its pretty sick, im doing alpha testing right now and it is a very interesting twist on everquest. Heavily lore based which is excellent.

As far as adding the particles to guildlobby, you had to edit the client files to do that, to add environment emitters, correct?

If not, how did you do it?

He did it with this new command:

where can i find list of these effects and what they do?

**Akkadius** · #24 02-28-2010, 01:40 PM

Absolutely no client files are required, besides a spell file.

im alpha testing as well, and all i can say is so far so amazing. focused on content very strongly and lore, everything is fitting perfectly together so far

. Akkadius has recreated everquest in a whole new and wonderful perspective, that I can now see it through his eyes. Its great, can't wait till everyone can start together =].

Here i am, trying to go through Blackburrow, and take care of gnolls for a main world quest task, befriended an assassin along the way.

Wow, I can't wait until this server comes out, looks unique and fresh

**Akkadius** · #29 03-02-2010, 12:17 AM

Ok, my PM box is way too full to enter that many LS accounts and numbers. So what I'm going to do when BETA comes in is that I am going to open the server up for 1-2 days and cutting off. Whoever comes in knows that their character is there for the purpose of testing and is prone to deletion as it is for testing purposes and there will be a menu that will display that as you enter.

As for right now, I am trucking through all kinds of scripts and different things right now that give it a day or two we'll see where I am at. I also have Secrets popping in to truck along on different things as well.

For those of you wanting to check in, I have not forgot about you and I appreciate your want to help test the server out.

This is Akkadius updating, I'm out.

**Akkadius** · #30 03-02-2010, 04:30 PM

Another update: Depending on how things go, I may be opening it up for BETA here today or tomorrow. So if you want to get in to test, you are coming into test and provide constructive criticism and judging the content as a whole.

If questions, ask here, otherwise stay tuned.
