Hardy's Server and Databases

[Hardy]

It has been a while, a very long while. For those who don't know or remember me, I used to run a server called Hardy's Server. I had alot of compliments on that and my databases. But then RL stuff came up and I had to quit it, also got back with EQLive. Well, with this next release I wanted to see if I could still run a server on this old junky computer. Here is what my server and databases were:

Database:
Mainly what I did was make higher level zones. (ie: Lavastorm a level 60-65 zone). I didn't think there was to many high lvl zones, so I made more. If it is possible, I would also like to make it possible to level to 100, and make zones alot higher. Sound good? Vote for it at top.

Server:
I was starting to make it a legit server before I quit. Make it so you had to level yourself. And once you got a high lvl (ie 50) you would recieve more commands. What I was looking into now, is changing the loot table so lets say a large rat would drop some low level armor (ie: leather). I have not messed with the database since around version 3.2, so I will have to snoop around before I could do any of this. If you like this idea, please vote at top.

Edit: Yes, with rats dropping armor, this would mean no more #summonitem command :twisted:

I loved playing on your server, although it seemed like it was hard to get on it the times it was online. Most servers now that offer any kind of content seem to be on today, off tommorrow. If you're really serious about getting hardy's server back up, Go for it, I'm sure tons of people will love it, I know I will. Just keep it up, or maybe offer to assist some of the other servers who are able to keep the server online. Or even have your server with the development and another server (someone else's) that has the former working version running full time, and they just source in your additions.

But like i said, your server was awesome before, no matter how it comes back, i look forward to seeing it again

Offering to assist does seem like a good idea. This is not my computer (my parents), and I can only keep the servers up during the night time, which does suck but I have no control over that. Sometimes during the day it can be up also. I will get my server up, but have it locked just till I get the database organized the way I like it. When I have it complete (or almost complete) I will open up the server.

I will be getting a new computer soon, was going to get it last week but some incident which happened in July is going to cost me money, which does suck. If anyone would like me to help on there database, just shoot me an email at hardyeq@kornfreak.com, I can probably work on Zones (changing levels) and loot tables (so a rat will drop some armor, etc..). Or PM me or post here.
