Times Five BETA (Custom/Semi-Legit)
 

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

That is another link you can use for it.

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

Whats the Download for?

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.)

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.

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:

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..

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

Donations
 

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

chris144135@hotmail.com or on aim whatever

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?

please bring it back up haha, I got teased!

Eh, maybe. ;)
