COHPVP - Open Beta Begins 1/23/2009
 

I will be opening the server for good this Friday evening at approximately 5:00PM CST.

We've had several test nights and I'm fairly confident that most of the major bugs have been worked out. Of course, I'm sure we'll encounter new ones eventually, so you can count on the server being up at all times except when we need to address things like this.

The server will remain in this testing phase until I'm satisfied that it is, more or less, completely self-sufficient. One of our goal from the beginning has been to create solid PVP and PVE environments where players wont have to rely on admin to intervene to fix things. So I probably won't consider the server 'finished' until I am no longer needed (or at least needed rarely). Whether or not that will ever happen, we'll see... :rolleyes:

As for character wipes in the future, I don't foresee any reason to wipe characters unless any *major* bugs or exploits are found which would require us to.

If you'd like to find out more about the server, please visit our website at http://www.cohpvp.net.

We're very excited about opening the server up. We've had a lot of fun and received a lot of positive feedback about the server and the PVP system.

We hope to see you there!

This server looks promising! I never had the chance of joining you during one of these "open night" testing because of some timezones issues so I can't wait to test it out!
I hope it will be stable and that a lot of people will be able to join.

See you around.

This server sounds amazing.


If only I could pvp...

Everyone can PvP! Just think of it as a poorly programmed NPC that talks back.

Wow, this server sounds awesome. /e-medal.

This server has the best PvP of any EQ server I've played on. Everything is very well balanced. Permadeath and full item loot create this deep feeling of risk vs. reward that I haven't felt since early UO.

It takes about one hour of uninterrupted levelling to get to level 50. About one level per dark blue that you kill. The PvE is also fun because of the random item loot. It's not bad levelling up when you never know what you're going to get loot wise, and always have the chance of getting something great! I heartily endorse this server.

I played on most of the beta days, and I can definitely say that this is a server worth checking out. The risk involved in pvp makes it much, much more fun and involved than pvp where you don't lose anything. The admin(s) really know what they're doing and are very involved with us players. Personally, I love the custom set up as well.

Bump... server rocks : ).. its a fun server if you could handle a little grief : ).

What ever happened to this server?
