Storm Haven

[miotch]

Any relation between the server Developer and the guild "Storm Haven" on live?
I was in that guild on povar..8 years ago?

Nope, lol. I just wanted a server name that sounded like the name of a castle. I googled castle names and saw one with Haven in it, and then made a list of possibilities. I liked Storm Haven the most, although Windhaven was close behind. The initials SH roll off the tongue easier than WH though :P

It kinda reminds me of a cross between Stormwind from WoW and Shadowhaven from EQ. So now you know the history of the name

Quick update on server status:

The first end-game zone is in place for small to full groups of level 70 players. The zone is the Plane of Time B and it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. I respawned the entire zone, trying to stay as close to live as possible, but made changes needed since it is not an instanced zone. All original spawn names and races have been set as close to live as I can remember. Phase 1, 2 and the top part of phase 3 share the loot tables of Quarm and Ralloz Zek from timeb on live. For phases 4 to Quarm, the loot tables have been added custom to be better than the previous phases. When you first zone in, you are in the earth room in phase 1. You must kill the boss and the adds there to get an item that can be turned in to teleport your group to the next room of phase one. This keeps people outside your group from being able to follow you through or jump ahead of you while clearing through the first few phases. I have also added in tokens that people can gather to get instant ports to later phases in the zone, so they don't have to clear the lower phases if they don't need loot from them anymore. I will leave any further details for people to find out on their own. Just know that it has been a lot of work and I have tried to put a good variety in the zone to make it fun for all that attempt it.

Timeb is the main zone to gather parts for the 1.5 epic quests, although 2 other zones will have items required for the 1.5 quest as well. There is a quest for a nice slot upgrade (not saying which to keep some surprise in it). I am also going to add in an armor quest unlike any others so far on the server! I should have that in within a day or 2.

I will most likely still be tuning some encounters to make them harder or easier as needed. But, for the most part, I feel it is pretty complete.

My server has up to 30 or so players on at peak times right now, so it is starting to build a good player base. Check my forums in my sig for more information or if you have any questions, you can post there.

Please check out Paladin's and 2hs. I have a dwarf Paladain Padal whom whenevrr he swings with his 2hander crashes to desktop. He is lvl 48 and cannot use two handed weapons. May want to create a new paladin Dwrf and chck this out.

I will check that out. That would have been better posted on my own forums in the bugs section though. I am not sure why paladins would have that issue only on my server. I haven't done anything to classes or skills. I think you were talking about the same issue with a 2HB as well. I don't think anyone else has had that same problem.

The only thing I can think of is that the issue is on your client side. Since it crashes you to desktop, but the zone doesn't crash or anything. Normally if the issue was server side, it would cause the zone to crash too.

I will make a paladin tonight and try out some 2 handed weapons. If it works fine for me, I would suggest reinstalling Titanium.

Sorry I didnt post it on your server forums. Also it's crashed on three different computers so I know its not something with the client, but may be something with the Charcter himself.

Agian sorrya bout posting this here, and props on the server its my favorite as of now

Well, I just made a paladin and tested it with a 2hb weapon and it worked fine. Not sure why just your character would cause that. Maybe if you can post a crash log or something on my forums, I can look into it. I can try renaming your character if you want, or even copying him and seeing if you still have the same issue. Let me know on my forums. Just post in the bug section about it if you want.
