I remember when this server had first came out and oh boy was it epic. Getting thrown into a naggy raid at level 1 was awesome and fighting the boss in Kurns was pretty damn badass. This was one of the few servers that had a nice population (tho the hubzone was a mess) and kept us informed with updates.

Does anyone know if akkadian plans on bringing this server back? if not could it be possible for someone else to take the project over? im sure im not the only person wanting to play this server.

I'm glad you enjoyed this server.

I have the server sitting on one of my virtual servers ready to fire up at any second. I don't have time to manage or even touch Emulator stuff at this time. If someone wanted to run with this project and was serious about it, contact me and let me know and we will see about what we can do.

Otherwise I wish I had the time to put out the project I have had in progress that is really really cool, it will probably aggressively pick back up towards May with 3-5 developers again. Everyone on the team has either been extremely busy or had life get in the way.

Good luck eventually getting it back up Akka, I miss it as well :) Was certainly one of the more interesting servers out there.

It literally could be put back up at any second. I just won't manage it with my time right now. So it would be as is.

I wish I knew how to do stuff and run a server because I would love to run one.

Maybe if ya throw it up, and there is a good turnout over the next week or two, someone will be more willing to take the whole thing over for good?

What would you say is required to run the server..Ive ran a few in the past but my host cant do past 20 people an di know minor pearlscript coding. I do have a vast experience with Moderating a server and i have plenty of time to do so.

Could it be put back up as is? maybe a fresh char wipe and then let everyone be on the same playing field? there is alot of content on your server already, put it up for a few months as is and see what population u get.

I'm with the others in the thread. I would say put the server up for maybe 2-3 weeks. I'm sure by then people will be willing to help develop the server and such.

Server is a tad buggy, not sure if it was left like this or if it just happened when it was brought back up.

1 - to get out of blackburrow u have to die, u cannot zone out and there is no dragon tp thing in the zone (that i can find)

Going to keep on trying tho because this is a awesome server and it would be nice if akkadius could post the custom file launcher if he still has it.

I'm not surprised it's buggy. Hasn't been up in a long time, so everything is probably exactly where it left off. It's hard to completely polish a server to be bug-less. Besides, there will always be that one little bug that no matter how hard you try, can't be fixed. Like Akkadius had posted though, if Developers want to take over the project, that would be the first step to getting bugs fixed. I would, but I'm not 100% into EQ at the moment.

It's buggier than it should be, I noticed right away there were some scripts missing. I'll have to actually look into it when I can, which is probably closer to tomorrow.

Never was a 'spell scriber'

Yeah, I noticed a few too. Wasn't sure where my warrior was at so I made a new character. From what I can remember, Unrest had a barrier preventing you from leaving the start area until you get the quest to go out. I could be wrong though, just what I remember.

Yeah sorry i just couldent remember what system u had in place for spells. if i recall right u got spells up to like 70 or 80 for free somehow then they started dropping in the overthere off the bosses.

on the plus side, i have already seen over 12 people online at the same time with about a 5 player average. Not great i know but the server has only been up for 1 day!

How do we get our spells in game though?

They are automatically obtained through progression.

01-25-2012, 03:10 PM

Hmmmm, I am on the 3rd part of progression. So I am guessing I dont get spells/songs till later then?

I was playing on this server about a month ago, and I noticed it has been down for a good while.... Is it going to come back up, or has it been taken down due to lack of players?

I haven't intentionally taken it down at all, I will put it back up when I get back from dinner.

This is back up. What had happened is that when we were working on shaving IP address space (Work) a few weeks ago, we whacked this subnet from DHCP that this server actually had a lease on.

Should be good to go.

Thanks,

Thank you Akkadius... Sorry to have bugged you with something as stupid as this, but I do enjoy playing on the server, and with College, I don't really have time for too much intense gaming as I would like, so this server is perfect for what I am looking for in a server... and it meets ALL of my needs :)

No worries, it's not hurting anything by having it up.
