Hey everyone,
As Nerdgasm said, I regret to inform everyone that the server has changed once again. However this time it should be final. After spending some time speaking with another DEV in the EQEmu community, he opened my eyes to something, and it made perfect sense.
Before:
We had planned on bringing forth a playable story that led up to Diablo and through it. Including the parts in which Sanctuary was created and the banishment of the Prime Evils to Sanctuary by the Lesser Evils of the Burning Hells.
After:
Now, how are we changing things? Let me tell you. As Nerdgasm said, when you first log in, you will meet an NPC who will tell you about our Terms of Service (ToS). This is a must because of copyright issues, we apologize, but everyone needs to be aware, we are not trying to get sued for this. Now moving on.
After you accept the ToS, you will then be given a choice, a choice of which game you would like to play. Diablo, Diablo II or Diablo III. Each will played out in its own way. For example, in the Diablo part you will have your choice of Warrior, Rogue, and Sorcerer. In the Diablo II part you will have your choice of Barbarian, Amazon, etc. You get the point. The stories will be very similar, with our own twists and modifications of course. The names and faces of those characters you have come to love and enjoy will make shining returns.
Now then, with that being said, I would like to warn everyone, almost everything you know about EverQuest will be changed. The stats you use will no longer mean the same thing, monsters will hurt again, and to top it all off, you will most likely die trying to get a feel for things.
The Gameplan:
As of 10:18 PM CST I have about 30% of Diablo done. This will be the first to be released during our ALPHA phase. About 60% ready for ALPHA.
During the ALPHA phase, you will not have a level cap, however, you will be restricted to the first 4 levels of the Tristram Cathedral. There are 16 total levels for those who forgot. During this time we will be getting a feel for things, find/fix bugs, and just see how things play out.
We of course will always take feedback/idea’s from the players. We will take everyone’s opinion into account and developers of the server; we will either dismiss the idea or find a way to make it work. We have some of the most brilliant minds in the EQEmu community assisting us and where there is a will there is a way. So any ideas in which you think could make the server better as a whole, please let us know. Staying silent means nothing happens.
Well I will cut this short. Could keep going, but want to leave some for later. Also, I am constructing a new website, should be in the works soon. Everything changes.
