IS IN FACT , The Original Raid Addicts...

Rogean and Mattmeck's version of it was NOT the original...

In fact it was so UN-Original they had to use my Name "Raid Addicts" for their server title.. Even though NONE of my content was on their server (Other than the Asshole Bossmob)

Calm down Mort was just saying there were renditions :P

[KingMort]

Only 1

And it wasn't even a rendition like I said... It was just their server.. With my Servers name on it...

Do you have a site set up for this server yet or is it in brain storm mode?

2 Box Max, as anything over that can cause issues.

If the server were to actually get that big, it would be able to support 2-300 players. I have friends that work in a major datacenter, and let me cohost server computers for free if I wish.

No, there will not be a /zone ability. There may be travel modes to get from one side of a continent to the other a little quicker, but nothing like, "Go from Qeynos to Freeport".

AAND: This is just in brainstorm mode. I'm actually working on pseudocode now for some of the stuff that I need to do.

Another nice thread hijacking.

I would hardly keeping a server online with the same name for x years as being a record holder. If you could keep the same database up that long without wiping it, I would be impressed.

[drakelord]

BLARG. No hijacking f00's, <_<

[KingMort]

Another nice thread hijacking.

Who Hijacked?? Your Hijacking Right now by saying that...

Forums are Discussions... That means questions are asked and answered.. He had a legitimate question, and I had a legitimate answer... Not sure if you were talking to me or not.. These forum topics do tend to go in different directions.. There are no rules against discussion are there?

I would hardly keeping a server online with the same name for x years as being a record holder. If you could keep the same database up that long without wiping it, I would be impressed.

Well it feels good to me bud I am proud of my work, and proud that no player has beat my server... And proud that I stay 40 steps ahead of them at all times...

And yes the Database has been around that long, That is what I was referring too... We did have a nasty rollback a few years back.. But there are mobs created that still exist on my server since day 1 in June of 2002....

Thanks to Looser actually for retaining a copy of this database.. We actually lost it in a Fire some 6 years ago when I hosted it myself...

Now to go back on TOPIC :

GuildWars are you guys going to use your OLD database or you just going to start fresh ?? Would love to see another NON PEQ database around (no offense PEQ you guys ROCK !!!)

I believe the correct saying is "Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out."

Right, I was wondering about that myself.... Hehe

Thread Hijacking:

The act of taking over a thread on a message board by taking a part of the original posted topic, twisting it around and "hijacking" the thread itself. What happens is that the original content contained in the post becomes moot and whatever the "thread hijacker" has manipulated the content to be becomes the new content thereby "hijacking" the original intent of post. People now respond to the "thread hijacker's" input and the that becomes the focus of the thread.

Adj. 1. meddling:

- intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner; "an interfering old woman"; "bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"; "busy about other people's business"


So basically if the discussion of the forum topic posted bends a little then your going to freak out and call it Hijacking ??

Please... Forums are Discussions.. Evolving Discussions... Go back in time in EVERY SINGLE POST IN THE HISTORY OF THE EQEMULATOR FORUMS...

And Find me ONE example where this has not happened....

Hijacking sir would be like ... Me posting without any observation for the current discussion.... something to the effect of :

TRY BLUE !!! IT'S THE NEW RED !!!


Something totally off topic and nothing related to anything.. Thats Hijacking so get your facts straight please

PS: That movie Rocks !

It will be a modified PEQ database. Lower level zones would stay default. Cities and some higher level zones will be changed. In some cases, drastically.

Omg. Dil's world server; anyone remember?!

[WyldeRhoads]

I really miss guildwars... and cant believe its been such a long time since one of its manifestations was up... and even more surprised no one has made a successful similar server since... But yeah... if one showed up I would definitely play it.... But I wont hold my breath I'll just keep playing on these generic progression servers.

Someone just make a freaking GW server!

[drakelord]

If there weren't so many cheaters, it'd be a lot easier,

[Yeormom]

I have been developing a server for the past six months with a similar concept, which finally entered the Alpha test cycle recently, which will be of interest to you when it releases in the future. I have already solved many of the cheating problems as well.
