The game is alright. :| Everything is really disorganized: (no order, safe ground, etc.) I know this is due to the fact that all we are doing is testing to discover bugs or suggest anything we feel needs to change. I saw some other comments saying how it was "unbalanced crap" and how "alpha was more fun" but I know everything is still in the works. There are a lot of great ideas floating around on there, and it certainly is different. The constant player killing got annoying though. :shock:

Yea i havnt been able to even log out for over 30 mins now because Horas just sits at respawn point and kills everyone over and over.. Immature xen kids at their finest. Played an hour, only got to kill about 10 monsters in the whole hour, was being hunted down by people the whole time. Didnt get to test anything except respawn.

A safe square is on the list.

For now, the server is offline while I am fixing bugs since most of the "testing" is finished.

The server has been taken down until the next update.

I'm not certain how long it will be until it's released (I haven't asked Karl), but here are the changes that you can expect to see:
  • New Server - We finally upgraded to a better server!
  • New Map - The current map was put together to test certain functions of the game. The new map will be built with an eye toward a more playable area.
    • Safe Square
    • Arena Area - for pvp without dropping items or losing alignment
    • NPC guard(s) (maybe)
  • New Spells - and fewer of them, 'cause this is just ridiculous
  • Lower Spawnrate - so that we all have a chance to breathe
  • New and Simpler Geonite System - the current one is overly complicated and doesn't feel right in-game, so we're simplifying things.
  • Humans

which reminds me of maybe adding an antidote spell somewhere along the road to beta?

like strafe said, poison cant really be dodged etc, you most likely die of someone spams venemous stare on you twice

The exterude/extrudere (however you spell it) was a nice armor bonus and something to work for seeing the definition of the "egg" at later levels. Something like that would be cool. Also there were the differences mages/druid like characters having the higher levels, with fighter classes having the maximus as their highest level.

Yes, the server will be down until Monday--I hope to have the next version ready for testing at that point. I'm going to work all weekend.

Just in time to destroy your productivity :D


So far the update is going well. I've simplified a bunch of stuff, chaos is much less annoying, the geosids make sense and I can control monster spawning a lot more easily. I have finished the spell sets for the Adept and Sorcerer, and the Warrior and Hunter are coming along nicely.

Yes. As was mentioned in the first post (and in a post or two since then), you can expect character resets for a little while here while we work on basic issues such as stability and balance. This stage will not last long.
