Abyss\Zeb DB

I'd be happy to host it, but I don't have the time to actually work on it. So it would need a dev staff.

the database is well developed so i think further development would be uneccessary

I felt nostalgic, put the Abyss back online one day for about 35 minutes. Me and my lead GM walked around, looked at each other, and said "f**k this" and took it down again.

Way to unbalanced, way to "simple", hacks galore, many quests and terrain maps broken, utilizes only about 1/4th the entire world in content, and without a constant GM/Dev presence, people simply quit. Amra's advice is best; wipe everything and start clean. Or better yet, let the classic memory stay a memory and lead players to new, fresh servers.

It was popular while it was up. So if that's your thing, give it a whirl. Just don't ever log yourself in You might get inspired to "fix" something.

I wish I had the time/skill to host it for others. As it is, I have it set up just so I can walk around and remember the "good old days". I never played the Abyss version but the Zeb version in its day was loved and played by many as is. Sure its wildly broken in John's eyes, and I respect his opinion. But many found it suited their tastes perfectly and we had great fun in that world.

Heya Sanity

Naw, what I mean by "broken" is the balance was so off, there was no possibility to expand it. During my time testing Abyss, I had so many petitions, PMs and tells asking me if there would be more content (which initially I refused to attempt). And as you know, trying to change existing content just freaked people out... there was nowhere to go, the world was "as-is". Yes, it was fun, but there were also a ton of exploits and broken quests, and even zones where you could kill mobs all day without them attacking you.

I've toyed with putting it back online, but honestly I think I'd rather create something new and let the old memories be good ones.
(actually, if I had the ability to host Abyss -and- my own dev server, I'd run them both... )

Yes it was a good server while it lasted, but it is time to let it be a memory.
