Heh. It's taken a while to get thus far on said server... We've ran across a few pot holes in the server we were going to open for Alpha, and then we thought ahead, you know, two, maybe three months in advance 'What if they kill Diablo quickly..' -- I know if I sat down with Diablo 2 I could beat it in 12-20 hours, easy. Fully beat it. I guarantee it, actually. Jahar came up with the idea; 'Why not go back to the beginning when everything was just starting out? Make a server based around that?' -- I figured 'Eh, why not.' (I was buying a new computer anyway, xD).

So with the new computer fully upgraded and running, and Jahar working out all the kinks before we actually start DEVELOPING the server, I made sure this computer could sustain a Everquest Server (Hence Uthra's Progression Realm) -- This will be our SISTER server until DiabloQuest can be fully off the ground and running.

By sister server -- I mean it has the same idea concept, Chaos, and Balance fighting bosses that are essentially enemies of one another and when you reach the end after you kill the other team respective bosses, you reach Uthra... It was both of our ideas to get a sister server running.

Anyway, feel free to check up on this forum and our Website(s) located --

DiabloQuest
And our sister server.
Uthra's Progression Server

As a side note - I forgot to mention -- WE WILL NOT be informing you who the new DEV team consist of. You will have to wait and see when you start to play. =)

Greetings everyone, Nerdgasm here, we got a couple new ideas for DiabloQuest, we tore down everything of Diablo down to the very core of it, and got an idea from another DEV of the community that we here at DiabloQuest find very... intriguing.

BEFORE;

We had plan to throw a mix of Diablo 2, and Diablo 3 in plus a little custom content on the side, while the custom content will still be apart, we've changed a little bit of what we decided to do..

NOW;

When you first spawn in, you will have to accept to the ToS of the server, how will be listed when you hail the NPC.. After you accept them you will be sent to a zone, when you hail the NPC he will give you choices, the choices are; Diablo I -- Diablo II -- Diablo III -- Now what this means for you... You remember playing Diablo I how everything was just awesome at times, and what not. Well we're bring it back with the three main chars you can play (Hellfire will add the monk but that's later). And you will be sent somewhere NOT in relations to the Diablo II or Diablo III chars, and the gear will be different. Same thing goes with Diablo II and III. The story line will be altered a little bit as to not imply a copy write fragment, but the just of it will be the same. There will be similar features in our version of Diablo I and Blizzards, such as -- scrolls, books, and what not.
This is a pre-alpha idea that we've gotten and are starting on. We will fill everyone in more when we get it closer to being done.

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.

I would like to elaborate on this a little bit, Jahar, When Hellfire came out, they added more, and the new stuff started on level 15 (as you told me), once we get to the Hellfire part of the expansion (When we open it, it will NOT be called Hellfire) level 15, 16 and the rest WILL be altered, so it won't be the same as you remember.
