Rise of Discord
Introducing a new server...
Rise of Discord
CONCEPT
This server is focused on group play without boxing and bots with story based progression focused on the Discord Army itself, The Planet is invaded by the discord army and you must do what you can in order to stop the invasion, however you soon learn your planet is not the only one in the cosmos that is subject to this army. This begins an adventure to find allies from far off worlds to stop the Discord Army once and for all!
Spanning 10 Tiers of Content with no less then 15 zones per tier this is an epic adventure for anyone wanting a fresh undertaking in EverQuest.
All classes have been given a makeover with major stat focuses put forth on major character development.
Two of the biggest changes to expect for classes are monk tanks, and enchanter healers. Continue to read on for more information on this server that is more in a year in the making and still growing.
Classes
Classes have been redesigned in such a way to make them feel fresh however retaining a familiar feel to EQ.
Most classes can use two roles, our of TANK , DPS, and HEALER. The classes that cannot pick more then one role are Berserker - Rogue - Wizard - Magician - Necromancer - and Bard. These Classes are DPS only.
Warriors can tank and DPS, Warriors gain the power to use any two handed weapon in the game that is warrior usable and fuse it with a Titan's orb to retain most of its stats down to an offhand weapon for warrior only starting as soon as level 13.
Bards gain multilevel songs that allow them to build in power for shouts for offensive DPS, similar to how the shouts in Skyrim are, bards gain ranks of shouts in there adventures to empower there songs to amazing power, The beneficial songs for bards now last for 10 minutes instead of requiring twisting, to focus more on using offensive shouts to do damage.
Enchanter healing is done via Runes and Promised healing line of spells, this makes them ideal for single target healers but not so much on group healing.
Shaman can transform into bears starting at level 1 and they gain massive poison/disease based spell damage in this form but unable to heal. This gives the shaman powerful melee damage with ' Bite ' based spell attacks with a short range.
Shadowknights have a complete Virus spell DPS line in store for them that make them amazing at killing a large slew of mobs over time with no limit to how many times it can jump from mob to mob with viruses. If so many mobs are infected with multiple virus nearby the shadowknight, you can instantly do a full duration of DoT damage to the target in an explosion of damage.
These are but of a few of features for classes on this server and more development is being done daily.
Group Based Content
The server is entirely focused on grouping with others to accomplish a common goal, the EXP rate for groups are vastly improved, and instances are available for groups as small as 3 people spanning up to a maximum of 12 for raids. Raids will mostly consist of end of tier content, and full 6 man groups are for harder content in the tier. In order to rectify poor RNG instances reward currency based on the tier you are in and the difficulty of the instance you are doing. With this available after a few instance runs, you can buy items via the point system to get something you need to continue to feel you are in fact progressing so you don't feel so stuck on one area.
All instances are handled via the Expedition system with lockouts and time based completions and speed runs as an option for nearly all forms of instances for special rewards or greater point handouts for people that are whooping up on content.
For newer players, they can give tasks to higher levels based on level spread and can gain a small amount of Tier points based on there current tier level. ( I. E. Someone in Tier 4 helps a person run a Tier 1 instance, the tier one player gains full rewards for tier one, but the person in tier 4 being in an instance with a player at X level will gain a task to gain 1/3 of the points for his current tier point currency.)
Tradeskill System
There is 3 main tradeskills on the server. Cooking, Jewelcrafting, and Tailoring. There is nodes found within the world to harvest resources from that only the person with that tradeskill can farm. So a jeweler cant harvest plants for cooking, and cook cant harvest gem nodes vice versa.
Content Preview
So the first area in the server is the karanas, North/South/East/West. You will meet many of the standard starting NPC's and you will want to learn an AA skill that is custom to the server first starting off, its you " Quest Selector " NPC, this NPC will be able to teleport you to any instance, and main player hubs in the world. The NPC is also responsible for Side-Quests unrelated to storyline tasks that reward you greatly, this NPC is also used to convert point tokens into currency you can use from task rewards from her. This NPC is an important person and should be spoken to often to see what side quests are available.
When you gain level 15 you will find you will be able to access your first instance and consider taking down the first of many world bosses, starting at level 20.
The Progession moves into Buried Sea, Oceangreen hills, and Old Kith. With the invasion in full swing, the plot develops into trying to find a safe place to find a base to counter an attack. Shortly escaping the invasion and finding yourself with the commander in charge, you learn the barrier keeping the Discord Army out is weakened by the attack and you have to re-active the pylons of power to protect the inhabitants before you begin the attack. Just before the barrier begins to secure, the leader of the encampment is attacked by a dark mental energy. Preventing activating the protection on your wards, and your only hope is to slip into his mind to stop the mental energy attacking him.. by entering his dreams. Somehow you find you are no normal person. This begins the first raid of the server.
This server does not have a release date yet, but i am hoping it will be ready before the end of the year. I will keep you posted.
