A new server in the works.

[ssarshikss1]

Hi guys, first time posting here I think but I wanted to announce that i am working on a new server. And i will give you a few details of what to expect.

Story driven content - I have tried to make it driven and evenly paced enough not to rush through leveling and enjoy the content, The story is inspired by the Super Nintendo game Chrono Trigger, Without given away too much, it will involve a sort for of time travel, thanks to a few zones in SoD that will enhance the feel that it will bring you in. I want players to feel the story instead of it just feeling like another task or a plugging along feeling.

With this content, Boxing is not going to be allowed, and most content is group enabled. with Solo exp set very low and Group exp set to the point where just one person in your group will put you in the proper range of level advancement. With most bosses requiring 2-4 people starting at level 20, and a lvl 20 raid zone already made. I will be making countless things to improve the " want " to group feeling to make up for no boxing or botting.

A few classes have gotten makeovers, such as Enchanters, Rangers, Beastlords, and modifications to other classes to set them on par with the high level content. As a few notes with rangers, Hail of arrows type of style is going to replace all there spells, they will lose to the ability to heal however all spells will be replaced with a " New " shot system much like hunters on WoW, all skill will be near instant except for a few long casting high damage shots, with Arrows as a reagant, and high mana cost. Rangers will get high mana regen " much higher " then others on class gear to simulate a " focus " type of regen so rangers can use a wide variety of shots.

Enchanters will gain the ability to charm all mobs up to max level starting at level 1, " No you cant charm bosses heh " Enchanters are now one of the top solo classes on my server, as Enchanters are now migrated to more of a pet class then support class. Allowing them to heal there pets and a mixture of special pet skills.

This server will have many aspects to popular games, That i am not willing to release at the moment, the server is in very early stages of development and i am also changing sound files as an optional download, I keep playing around more then developing content, i think people will enjoy this server when its finally ready for public play. I will update this more as I deem more content info worthy for release.

P.S. IMHO Music and sound is much a part of any game, i think the new sounds and music added will add the feel needed to suck you into the story.

The server Name right now is Mirror's World: Edge of the Universe.

[liquest]

im down to check that out =D

[ssarshikss1]

I will be using twitter to keep track of all things i update on my server. If you wish to follow it if your interested in Playing it when its ready for play.

I may Have an open test in the summer to fully test group content.

[Bladex]

I'm looking forward to seeing it. A change of scenary is welcome lol.

[ssarshikss1]

As a bit of addition, I figure i would give a taste of what to expect starting out. There is an NPC in the starting zone that explains all classes changes, rates, and explains this is a group based server. ( At first you can do most content with 2-3 people. ) But as you progress and gain levels, you will see you will need more group members to make it easier. A great deal of the server will be done in groups. And when you see how much exp improves in a group. Its a no brainer to group anyway will max lvl/AA's.

The First Zone is Stronghold of the Investigators ( PoKnowledge ) , You are newly recruited to an investigation team to see why there is an evil presence taking over the world. You are then assigned a task to assist the team member sent into crushbone, You then begin the journey into this area, and realize that the orcs are coming in mass numbers, and the leaders have gained enormous powers. After fully investigating crushbone ( around level 20 ) you are sent to find a Fallen Angel, This is the first boss that requires a group of at least 3 people. After you Defeat this creature, you then find an orb the Fallen Angel had, Holding it in your hand, you are sent to hell. And now you must face Diablo and His demons.

Without giving out too much info, after the battle, an unknown presence finds you and tells you the planet is under attack by a dark army, Returning from killing Diablo. You will Find the Planet destroyed ( The Void ), and now, you must enter the portals taking you to various locations in time, to find the source of this dark army, and put a stop to it. Only to realize, you have powers beyond imagining from a past life, and as you explore the time periods, you true power will be unlocked.

Thats it for now. And that basicly sums up chapter 1 of the server.

[J3w]

This, sounds awesome. I can't wait to try it out.

[ssarshikss1]

I now have a site for the server. Nothing really in it atm. But its there.

http://mirrorsworld.webs.com/

I will be attempting to bring the server to public within the next 2-3 weeks possibly for Testing. If anyone is interested you can PM me, Make sure you use Seeds of Destruction client cuz that is the only working client for my content.

The server will only be open to those with SoD, and are willing to test some content, there will not be allot of slots available for testing, so PM me and we can discuss this further.

[liquest]

Once i sw that the Void zone is being used you got me there =D i love what they did when they introduced SoD great zones. If there is ever a testing phase for this i would love to check it out

[Paladinsteve]

This Server will be Available to Public Sometime this weekend, im fixing some OPness with cleric/druid/shamans atm and making a special Download for this. This public chance to play will be limited due to the world not being finished. But if your interested in seeing what content is currently available. It will be up sometime this weekend. Then it will be closed to Testers only. Feel free to PM me if your interested in being a tester.

[ssarshikss1]

The server is now live for the weekend. There is a download required, you will see it on the motd when you log in. The testing is only for this week, not quite sure if it was ready for public testing, but i guess it dont matter that much =p

[notknowing]

I can't seem to connect to your server. Getting kicked back to login screen.

[kylekurth]

The same thing is happening to me also. Going to try to DL files then login again

[ssarshikss1]

Its a router problem, give me a min. i been fighting with this router for 12 hours.

[kylekurth]

Very nice music btw! Really nice touch

[ssarshikss1]

You might be able to log in now, still changing stuff around, server may need a restart.

Restarting

[kylekurth]

I can get to character select but can not log into the world :(

[notknowing]

Yea, I still can't get to the character select screen.

[ssarshikss1]

Someone managed to log in lol. Still fighting with it atm.

[kylekurth]

Bleh, got kick to server select when I zoned heh. Not sure if this helps but said Server is not responding when I tried to log back in.

[notknowing]

Was able to login and lvl up. But after server reboot, I keep getting kicked to login screen when I try to enter the world.

[ssarshikss1]

This this damned router, again. Sorry for the reboot having some major issues with zoning atm. Keep in mind this is all testing atm. And that i also ****ing hate routers

Restarting PC and router, seems like the way to go atm.

[notknowing]

No problem I understand. So far I'm loving the server, lots of fun.

[Bristlebane[nj]]

Was playing a bit earlier til I got caught up with things. Really nice server. Can't wait to see the rest of it, keep up the good work.

[ssarshikss1]

Tonight i will be taking the server offline. There is allot of things that obviously need changing. Updating a few things now and adding some much needed items to the starting merchant.

Also a new spellfile on the site. cuz people say it was missing in .rar

[Bristlebane[nj]]

Tried to login to the server, says 6 players are online but I can't login to my SK that's in Solteris or my Necro in PoK.. is there not enough static zones set up that they're all down?

[ssarshikss1]

Its set to 20

It was fine for 6 hours straight the other day

i know its prob a router prob, again

[ssarshikss1]

Removed the router for now. There should be no errors atm.

[ssarshikss1]

The Weekend Server Testing as Ended Abruptly by jackass intervention. Untill i find a work around for the Router this server will not be coming back online to play till i also Impliment some needed fixes for classes, like Balancing healer, Adding proper hate augs and skill mods for warriors/Paladin/Sk to hold aggro, and i need to get working on my 2nd chapter.

I hope you enjoyed the weekend event dispite all the connection problems. You can test out music for the following zones in your custom files to hear all the zones redone music.

poknowledge
theatera
solteris
void_loop
arcstone
devastation
diacord
discordtower
icefallglacier
valdeholm
frostcrypt
poinnovation

Till Next time. Feel free to leave comments on what you think needed to be altered.

[j3wman]

Experience rate seemed a little high compared to what you were talking about. I figured it would be lower than that. And the pet weapons. Maybe add a progressive line of weapons with different graphics as we level up? Cause I was playing enchanter, great job btw, and if i dropped my Orc Pawn with the tanking swords on it, I was staring death in the face.

[ssarshikss1]

Now accepting new testers. Send me a PM of the Char you played on the weekend along with your account name. If you didnt play this weekend, let me know this in the PM.

Do not Send me your Passwords.

Do Not Post this info on this topic.

[ssarshikss1]

The server is back online again. I will upload a new spell file for now. I know the weekend wasnt that great with connections but the server now seems stable.

[Paladinsteve]

So there i was, working on making new items, fixing things, adding spells.

Then suddenly we needed to make new items for zones.. We made at least 9 spells and items that deal with internet memes, such as a group sell buff that turns your into trolls and sings the trololololo song for about 30 seconds on the duration of the buff as a reward for a quest.

The zone that these items are in will not be mentioned cuz its just stupid lol.

IN OTHER NEWS!!

There was about 20% of real work done on the server today for those of you wondering about it. But so far we have been having so much misc junk to keep people busy im laughing so hard.. well.. here ya go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6FUR_nhGX8

Also, there is an NPC called Paul Bearer .. undertaker is no where to be found.

The music of the new zone with all these items have new music to suit the stupidity of the area. And what went into our minds creating this content. Trust me ideas were flowing, no gears were turning.. thats also a joke in some way lol. -- Skype is great.

CAUTION!! MEMES!!

Some item drops may contain helpful info to decipher wtf we were thinking.

Also, this post is useless. Today was a great day for editing the server. :smile:

^^^^^^ Its a good un

[Bristlebane[nj]]

Yes, I would love to know what goes through your heads.

[Viskaz]

When is this server going to go live? Also are you still looking for any testers atm?

[Melandril]

I really liked reading about the group vs solo XP idea. I may consider stealing that, if I can figure out how to host the server I just compiled ;-)

[Paladinsteve]

If you must know, this server is a very very long project. I dont expect this to be ready until possibly next year. Cuz im also in college atm. As of right now, The first Raid area is nearly done.

For those also wondering if there will be more content after release. Maybe, However - I intended this server to play like a console RPG. Story , Rares, Ect. and an Ending. Unlike other MMO's out there. i figured i could pull it off. Its a major project. so i dunno when this will be finished. I will try and update more in the future.

[Paladinsteve]

Over 7000 Spell Altercations, Additions, Fixes, Resist ajustments and other good stuff.

Content for up to level 70 is finished. And gear is ready to be placed into the game along with quests.

A new leveling system from Level 70 - 85 Will be in place as you progress though the storyline that will be required for progression into new areas.

The EQemu TEAM zone ( Guild Lobby ) is Being worked on that will display all info about the major developers in all of EQemu. This is a relax zone and not much else will be put into here.

Clerics are not quite as powerful as they were ( You cannot pull a zone and not die as a cleric ) So clerics wont be able to mass pull shit to the extent they were for quick leveling.

Scripting for bosses and Misc events are getting tested.


New Misc quests are going to be available for repeat for Money starting at level 70.

I am still working on ALOT of additions to the server. This project is still in the works. So try and keep this server in mind as time passes. Its a biggun.

[Paladinsteve]

-- Fixed an Error that made warriors Immune to all damage with the ( Full ) Hell armor set.

-- Clerics can no longer have zonewide AE's

[bowmaster]

whens the next beta gonn happen?

[Paladinsteve]

Prob when im done fine tuning the first raid zone. Its nearly done, just busy with college now, So its kinda slow going project atm.

[Paladinsteve]

It has been a very long while sense i have updated anything, but I would like to announce the lvl 71 - 85 progression is being worked on. That will involve a Multi-raid tier zone after the first raid, it will be connected to other zones to have a massive 2-3 group chain of zones to raid in to progress.

There will be 5 zones for the lvl 71 - 85 progression with a massive additions to gather along the way as you progress in your levels to finally reach your goal, ending with a final boss fight to finally reach 85.

I will be making a video soon to display the current project to everyone, right now the server is still around 40-50% complete.

I am looking for Developers/Scripting if you are interested, Send me a PM and tell me what you know of Creating content. I do no need testers at the moment.

[liquest]

Woohoo glad to see this is still in the works =D

I was a tester till the server went down for all your work but i know how to develop/minor scripting and i can build a world. =D
