Warborn - Open Testing
 

We are trying to keep the old EQ challenge and feel but remove some major hinderences and maintain a playable balance considering the smaller population of a EQEmu server where there are not thousands online at a time.

The server is open for testing this weekend, if it goes well it will be transferred to our dedicated server and open for public play. If you find any bugs please /bug them for review.

The server currently runs on a 3.2ghz Quad core PC with Solid state drives for testing. After testing it will be transfered to our dedicated Dell server with (2) 3ghz Dual core Xeon processors and (6) 15K RPM SCSI drives in a RAID 5 array. I may drop a SSD in it to run the game server from.

Server was tested with Underfoot, SOD and Titanium, no other clients were tested.
Highest expansion is Kunark currently, the server will progress to SoL eventually (Kunark > Velious > SOL).
Bots - allowed to spawn up to five for a full group.
XP rates are a little above that of live, level 60 cap.
No XP loss until level 15.
No Item loss on death, re-spawn with all items. Empty corpses are left for RES.
When you level you will get your skills and spells for the level automaticly.
Soulbinder in each starting city and at what used to be LDoN camps.

Now allowed to (2) box.
Added Epics as drops to Charasis (Howling Stone)
Testing extended, accounts will not be wiped after testing, all data will be moved to the new server.

Reworking some features

Renamed the server to something more fitting, ClassicEQ

Does not compute.

Or you could read the entire thread and realize that it fits just fine with the first sentence.

ClassicEQ != the P99 play style

Worry about your own server instead of shitting on someone elses.

so whats the name of the server?
didnt see it on the login server list?
i've seen warborn and now its vanished.

I hope the server isnt gone.Would like to give it a shot but i havnt seen ClassicEQ or the old name Warborn on the server list in the last 2 days.Any updates on the server?
