Default The Ascending Dawn

For those of you who dont know who i am i've started a couple servers in my day. Most of which people enjoyed alot.

I've come up with a new Idea for a server and i would like to know if anyone would be interested in helping me out.

Mainly right now i need someone to host it, I can do everything else like programing setting it up quest writing ect. I'll need to be able to access the computer through a terminal (i'll explain that later if you dont know how to set it up) this is just so that i can shutdown, startup, update, and manage the server and its database. Hosting the server requires you to do nothing but keep you computer up and running. PM me if you are interested or have questions.

Now on to the funner part, which is explaining what i have planned for the server.

My server is aimed more for the Higher end game, no newbie levels or stuff like that. This server is intended for people who love to raid. I will be fixing all of the PoP flagging quests and other quests like VT key and such along with all the mobs in those zones so they are more like EQ Live. The mobs will be not as difficult to begin with they should be able to be killed with 2-3 groups for hte time untill we have the people to do more. They will drop what normaly drops from the mobs. Yes there will be corpse runs soo sorry to tell you that. Waiting a couple hours for your coprse is hte best way to have fun in EQ hehe.

This server will be highly group oriented. No more going to PoT and soloing bosses. No more having a shaman go into BoT and solo a mob in like 2min. HP's on hte mobs will be set to a decent amount of hp and they will be hitting like normal EQ mobs. This is basicaly to keep people interested in EQemulator. People like non-legit servers because its quick access to having fun and alot of nice gear, but once you ahve it theres nothing to do. So making this server a server where people can raid for gear will make it more fun and give hte people something to do.

Ascending Dawn will have the starting level set somewhere between 46-60 I havent decided what level yet but my main idea behind it is to help get past the borring time consuming leveling from 1-46 where you cant yet enter the planes.

Well i'm sure your gona ask about the gear, skills, and spells. As far as gear goes i'm planning on having no-drop, required level, and reccomended level items not summonable. This is to prevent people from needed better gear that can be found in PoP and other zones people would like to raid. This should basicaly leave you with almost all oldworld gear, kunark, and velious, with the exceptions of a couple zones like ToV, Skyshrine, and others. I think it will leave people with enough gear to be happy but at the same time moderate what people can summon. Far as skills and spells go i will create an npc to set them for you according to the starting level I decide upon.

To control this summoning item ability i will need to limit each ACCOUNT to only summon 30 Items, so that means whichever character you create make it the one you want to stay with. I'm trying to keep an economy going too along iwth everything else. Choose your items wisely hehe.

Quests will be in place over time it will take some time to get them all set up and working please bear with us in that time. Once this server is open i will allow some people special access for beta testing pm me if you want to be part of it. Also if you can help me in away feel free to ask. I'm also gona be very picky so tell me as much about you and why you want to help.
