Times Five BETA (Custom/Semi-Legit)

drakkie · #1 10-10-2009, 08:41 AM

I suppose I should make a post about it now that it is getting attention.

This server features an experience like no other. It has a level cap of 250, spells that scale based on statistics, pets that scale based on statistics and class, melee damage increase based on stats, and content up to level 250.

Quote:

NOTE: The experience formula is completely tweaked to support levels up to 250. Previously this could not happen, as the amount of exp would go well beyond an int32 and it's also hardcoded a level limit of 127 in source. Due to this, experience is not "five times".

**FEATURES & MECHANICS**
Spells & Pets
* Spell Damage scales based on the level of the spell, the level of the caster casting the spell, and INT.
* Spell Healing scales based on the level of the spell, the level of the caster casting the spell, and WIS.
* Spell Haste will soon be based on AGI, and as a result, AGI is only found on custom items.
* Pets scale on stats.
Melee
* Melee scales to STR and DEX. That is a total damage plus this bonus from these stats.
* Custom Mitigation formula. If you had enough stats, you could completely mitigate damage to 1. It is also level dependant.
Content
* Custom content up to 250. There are custom augmentations to offset the lack of loot from NPCs past 70 or so. Some zones are tweaked, check a list of the zones in our starting zone to see which zones are.
* Epics at level one. This may be upsetting to some of the forum community, as they do not like to see epics on orcs let alone vendors. Fear not, this is only to give you a starting advantage to get a feel for the server. The real fun starts at higher levels.
* Custom exp formula, see above.
* Buff Bot and Skillsetter in starting zone, see my comment in epics.
* More features being added daily!
Other
* SoF and Titanium support out of the box. No spellfiles are needed!
* #help for commands in-game. Since this is semi-legit, you do not summon your gear but get a spellscriber that way, amongst other things, like #zone and #goto.

The pre-shrunk SK pet makes me sadface. Enjoying everything else though!

Nope. They won't be deleted. The only thing that will happen is the stat cap will be raised to 10000 instead of 2000. There will be bonuses like the ones currently implemented every 2000 points you earn. (ex; 2000 sta = flymode, 2000 cha = pet bonuses, etc.)

While I am posting, I should also mention we have a forum coming up soon. I will make another post in this thread when it is up and running.

Drakkie said for me to post this here, so I will, nyah.

Server is now on a dedicated box, and is back up.

Apparently, the hosting company that had it running said I was "using too many resources". It's shared hosting, but I was using 5% CPU and 256mb of RAM. Now comes the fun part of asking for a refund /sigh

Server is offline, Drakkie and I are not too happy.

Here's a diff of our changes, just in case the worst should happen (and it isn't looking good right now)

How fast of a connection do you need to host the server?

Probably $250/mo dedicated hosting we're looking at. But i'm not going to force anyone to donate, thus, we're giving up.
