Times Five BETA (Custom/Semi-Legit)

[drakkie]

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.

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!

Locked? Say it isn't so! I need my fix!

Hows the Server going along?
would Love have a 2nd chance , evne if just 1 acount ,

Anyway Seen u get over 30+ a night now ,

Long live your Server

[DenokTheWar]

Good server been playing here since Zarn's Barn is down good substitute if any of u are wondering...Closest ive found to it.

[merls]

As this is in beta stage will all the toons be deleted when it comes out of beta and if so any idea when thats gonna happen ?

[drakkie]

As this is in beta stage will all the toons be deleted when it comes out of beta and if so any idea when thats gonna happen ?

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.

[merls]

Awesome i'll keep grinding my mage away when, loving this server :)

[drakkie]

I have a simple forum set up now, you can access it by clicking on the website link at:

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)

[ryder911]

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

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.

The download is blocked Secrets, unless it's only available to VIPs or something.

Thank you! Off to find some info on importing this under windows.

[bowmaster]

Whats the Download for?

[merls]

no idea what its for... Any idea if this server is ever gonna return now donations have been taken ?

There were only two people donating and I returned your funds.

The download is a .diff file of our changes for anyone who wants to start their own x5 server (minus the content, of course.)

[ChaosSlayerZ]

Secrets, I believe I saw somewhere that this server had leveling past 89 bug solved? is that true?

This fix would be nice to be implemented into main Emu source:

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28822

The fix should not be implemented into main source because it would throw all current progression for other, non-250 servers out of whack. It's exceptionally faster, but not that much faster. It allows for a small smooth progression past 89, about the same rate as the EZ server.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

how does fix works? by reducing total Xp values?
if yes, I suppose this can easily be offset by reducing XP gain per kill by same %.
Not to mention we have a global rule to control XP gain flow.

Refund?:shock: ... I have yet to see a refund sent my way:-? , and I know there where more than 2 donators cause I talked to several that had donated.

Anyway, if anyone IS going to start up another x5 server let me know please :grin:

[Akkadius]

When I can get a hold of Drakkie I am considering starting up my own

What name did you donate under? I only had four total donations, three were from a person I banned... and they are not getting their money back, backstab me, I backstab you. In particular, I warned the person to stop using MQ2 once, and they were warping up a storm after they thought I was offline. Part of the reason we went down is because I sincerely think this community of players are rude and selfish..

When I can get a hold of Drakkie I am considering starting up my own

I will tell her you are looking for her, and anyone else who wants to have the content should PM me.

[Fynix]

I donated under my main account name Devestatio, and I talked to Drakkie both before and After I did :)

It was only $5, but I hate seeing server disapear from existance right after recieveing ANY type of donation from thier players.

I was going to attempt to start up a server again myself, but I am having too many issues with the process this time around, I spent 2 days and can't get it running. I looked for all my answers on the forums and nothing posted seems to get it working, so I just gave up.

Can't wait to see the server schecterx, even if it doesn't have all the features seeing a lot of similarities would be great, those features that Secrets and Drakkie had going where what made the server a huge hit. If you need any help let me know :)

[merls]

I've been trying a few others. i've settled on the hidden forest at moment though. Would be nice to find another solo server though. I know EQ is a MULTI player game but i just dont have time to group / raid to often so servers that are set up as solo are great for me.

[bowmaster]

Some1 get the content , so we can play it :)

[John Adams]

it's coming back up. we work on Valve Time.
Haha, awesome.

Well, if anyone knows if EQEmu can have 2 servers on 1 host, I might be able to help out in the interim. I already run my own server, but have plenty of resources for another (and own my own hosting 8-) ) I've just never tried to run 2 EQEmu worlds out the same public IP.

[Burningsoul]

You mis-read John Adams, that was a few weeks back when it went down temporarily. It's down and out now.

[Secrets]

Haha, awesome.

It won't on the same public IP, i'd rather give TessEQ2 a home though :P

If you are serious about the offer though i'll let Drakkie know, otherwise someone else is likely going to take up the project.

[Akkadius]

Give it some time, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to get X5 going again, maybe start with relatively the same DB in terms of layout. GM's and staffing I will probably be getting a few people together to make sure we have a constant stream of people to report to if and when there are problems. I will prolly need donations to get it up and started as far as possibly looking for a bigger bandwith and possibly a new box considering the amount of traffic it will build. Give it some time and she'll be back up and running

[John Adams]

TessEQ2 had a home.

If you guys got it covered, then that's cool. I won't take down my own server, so I guess it's a moot point if EQEmu requires port 9000 and cannot be otherwise configured to something else.

[Akkadius]

Secrets or Drakkie I need to speak with either of you soonlike

chris144135@hotmail.com or on aim whatever

[harney4]

I saw the times 5 reborn server up just now, tried logging in and after I hit enter at the char select I froze, only for the server to be off the list when I restarted EQ, talk about a drag haha..

Is the server going back up for good or were people just messing around with the DB?

Some know I have had the newer version of this server up and running, but I do need the formulas yet, the .diff file does not merge with the file system I have on my server folder and have tried many ways to do it manually. Seeing as DB versions are not going to be far off can you zip the changed files perhaps as a whole starting from Branch and Trunk so that there's no messing aroudn with file structures?

I seriously need these files girls whenever you can get a hold of me I will gladly send some cash, i've got players who want to be on but the diff files don't patch correctly in the server subfolders. Also if you'd like to discuss server possibilities at all as well i'm fully willing, but seeing as yall are prolly busy doing things in RL which are perfectly fine I just need a little bit of your time.

Please PM me Secrets or Drakkie or messenger either way

We've been busy IRL with things. I don't have a backup of the source from that time, so you are going to have to try and apply the diff in whichever way possible, sorry.

Well hey you responded which is all I can really ask for, thanks for getting back. I will see what I can do to rig this. Only thing is though is that these same files are found throughout different subfolders throughout the entire server folder and I don't know which set will affect what I need it to = P

[Akkadius]

Found the issue, and it seems that it has all been sourced under revision 1016 of the source code. And compiling this has been giving me issues because of probably something small that i'm in the middle of figuring out atm

[Akkadius]

Recompiling with the .diff changes is giving me multiple errors and I have to be heading out to work. So unfortunately Times five wont be back up even for casual log in for a while yet. And I have to work all day tomorrow so until I get it taken care of and figured out I have some things to get done....

[Akkadius]

Well good news, right before I planned on going to bed I fixed my compile, seemed as if there was a file structure issue with the tree branches of the visual studio settings. Anyways the old server should actually be up soon, alot of the changes I made I wiped.

[Akkadius]

So yeah, I have the server in the shape Drakkie left it before it crashed. I'm just rebuilding the database and will probably launch for night play and go to slepe cause I took an ambien, and i'm blurry as shit and am hanging on my last fibers to get this live.

I know people have been itching to get on so I have been bustin nuts to get this back up. It is NOW back up and its original state. I wont start on any of the content development I had in mind until I get some sleep and I have work tonight so feel free to log in.

[juter500]

[bowmaster]

Since its a Reborn? Can i get a unban please
i want to start fresh , Ill even make a new Eqemu Acount and Server logins and Start Fresh as a Whole with a different game name?

[Kilralpine]

lol ^ couldnt you do that anyways????

[Secrets]

lol ^ couldnt you do that anyways????

Not if he's IP banned. Which I put as the default in the database I sent to people.

[Akkadius]

I do believe in second chances, but I have heard you have been banned across multiple servers and consistently break rules.

Two I have enough respect for the girls who made the source to realize that they probably banned you for a reason. Now if i were to unban you would have to be up to them.

So how are they going to persuade me

[Renork]

coming back up sometime soon?

[Akkadius]

Now, dont know why my PC was even shut off, must of been the damn woman

[ryder911]

Wat is the name of this new server?

[drakkie]

God i helped Drakkie out a ton before she banned me

You were bloody annoying.

[taniswolf]

Wow , Im wastin 15dollas a Month , Just to get back on this server


So...by playing live you're upping the chances that someone will unban you....that makes total sense right guys? I just don't get it, now if you were giving them 15$ a month to play unbanned then I'd understand...but what the hell does live have to do with times 5?

If anyone knows what he said by that pm me because I'm still confused

[Fadedspirit]

Wow , Im just wastin 15dollas a Month to get back on Live.

I've got a Live thing going:
76 mage , 79 cleric 76 shammy 65 bst 51 necro 28 ranger

So it's not like I've got no where to go. I just liked the server a lot.

God I annoyed Drakkie enough so she banned me

[taniswolf]

Ok...to clear things up this is the infamous Maze.....bowmaster has "hacked" with me across multiple servers, from duping gear/plat, to speedhacking/ghostkilling. Don't let him fool you because he does cheat on every server. My days of mq are gone from the recent installation of windows 7 and there isnt an mq I could use so, take it from me, one of the most known cheaters of eqemu...he is annoying...does cheat and thats that. I don't even play eqemu anymore and I can still tell you how many server admins banned him...lets start a list. KMRA Zeb's Drakkie's crimson tempest... and too many to name that aren't around anymore... theres some clarification.

[Akkadius]

U know wah Fuck yah All ,

ROFLMAO! Wow....

[bowmaster]

Maze that is funny

Thank you, I appreciate it. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on it, although I have made alot of recent changes, and a lot of the big changes I plan on making are gradually underway as I do have a full time job and school I have to finish out strong in... Come December break bigger waves of stuff will be coming in...

In the meantime I do have delgations for content here and there and I plan on scripting a reborn system for players which is describe on the boards...

That's the stuff that reminds me of the old days in EQ when Skatergnome was posting his stories, except his were funny, this poor guy is just retarded. I am glad that this is all out in the open so when I make my server "live" I know this guy won't be on it.

I just don't seem to like the x5, but It definitely is fun to play around on, but I'm not really gaming right now, just going to school and work.

Ah, I think I know what you're getting at, and it's the part of the reason it came down the first time. But it's being worked on

I like the concept of the x5 and the stats actually affecting the outcome of certain things, ingenious kinda like the edge server. I'd prolly play if i had enough time

I "lol'ed" at this paragraph. If your going to claim your going to college at such a young age, which if it's true, is impressive. But I do not believe!. You could atleast google the words to make sure your spelling them correctly and not make a complete ass of yourself.

[Secrets]

Locking this thread as it got out of hand and is way off the subject of x5.

Akkadius, you can make another thread if you'd like for your server.
