Anyone who's not had a look at this server really needs to give it a try. We've been here a couple of weeks and are quite impressed overall.

Regardless of the Vision<tm> of a server, it's nothing without two things: a good developer and a good community. Nydosa is a responsible and responsive dev who's both involved with the players and actually plays the game as well. The community on the server is fantastic for the most part, hopefully that trend will continue.

If you like a server that's old school enough to satisfy but has enough of a "remix" feel that you don't feel like you're doing the typical SSDD, this might be the place to for you. This is definitely a server you want to get in on the ground floor with. All we really need here to complete the picture is more people playing, and that's where you come in.

There's a holiday event going on now too, so get in there and hunt some turkeys. They drop a couple of nice limited-time-offer phatz and I think they're going away soon.

Hi Folks. I'm back for more!

Lots of new content added to the server, and I wanted to share the most recent tally of features. There is also now a Christmas/Holiday event going on. Come check out the new custom epics 1.5s and 2.0s, as well as the epic pet 2.0s. I've also introduced a new quest to obtain limited 52+ spells!

New expansion is also open for early testing! Come and re-live the true horror of the Oasis being a "55+" raid zone. Spectres to dock!!

I have to agree, this is a fantastic server. Just came back to emuland after a long break and it's good to have a place to call home. Just got epic 1.5 and having fun in the custom dungeons!
