FoH Hardcore PVP(legit)

[Dakaar]

I have quite a nice host with a ton of unmetered bandwidth and plenty of system resources. The server feels a little rough around the edges now because I figure the best way to figure out whats wrong was to let 20 people come in and start breaking things =P

I havent had the php editors available to me since the move so certain things like some spell vendors etc are incomplete. This will be fixed tomorrow morning then Its just working on the bottom line on item balancing IMO.

I have sort of a 'epic 0.5' planned for each class and ive only gotten about 2 of the quests written sofar, each of these try and shift class balance where ti should be without making anything too overpowering.


Im still toying with the idea of moving to kun/vel era and taking the best dungeons from each and linking them to old world points (probably by translocators or re-using under-used zonepoints or areas that look like theyd lend themselves to a zonepoint but arent used as such)

Luclin is what outright killed pvp, it wasnt too bad on kunark/vel you just need to balance the casters vs the melees primarily (mostly due to insane resists that were attainable at the time).

See, old world wasnt exactly balanced, AT ALL either, it was casters all the way back then =P

Sooo.. im not sure if i should throw away all the neat crap that came out of kun/vel just in the name of balance.. Dunno!

I, seriously, wish ya good luck. The hard part when you create/work on a PvP server is that you will constantly have to deal with classes balancing, items balancing, content balancing and, of course, cheats.

I've tried your server a bit Dakaar, I'm glad to see someone who's trying to bring back an old Zek type server (Rallos and Vallon for the win :P). But it's almost exactly what was Guildwars 1 (replace the race by the guildwars and u got it). I really liked GW1 at the start cept the classes balancing, but that's an another story.
Dakaar, I hope you have a good host. Try to make all the classes well balanced and I'm sure that you will get a lot of purists

As for Dark Horizons, with the team they got, the server can't suck. We will see, all I gotta say is good luck.

I'd recommend to only have Classic at start and see how things go. Because having Classic + Kunark might permit peeps to level without being attaqued at all. Kunark is really big..
// edit: nm, i've just seen that u talked about just adding kunark/vel dungeons.

Finally, remove the ability to /rol or /anon and it'll be all good :P

Don't get upset when you lose half of your userbase because they can't keep armor on their skin lol

I agree with image here...Letting peeps loot items will drive people away when their new uber_leet_sword_of_death gets taken.
