The world of Alakamin is ready.
 

Hello, the world of Alakamin is pretty much gtg now, maybe some raid difficulty tweaks on the way but for now it's fairly ready.

alakamin.makeforum.org is the site with discussion, and information, and eventually statistics will be posted on there.

As other emu servers, we are always under development, but the server should run for a few days at a time without needing to be reset for updates at this point.

now for the tasty bits

What is it?

Well it's based on Cavedude's PEQ database. However I have run the item database through some pretty aggresive sql scripts and created a system where everything has some value, so those thousands of random worthless items you pick up while playing will have some value.

Another note : Almost all items are tradable.

Fabled items are also available, but rare from the regular versions of the fabled npcs that would have dropped them.

Since the beta ended (around a week ago), aproximately 300 characters have been created on the server, and 10-15 people are on at any given time.

Visit the site for a view of the changelog and the full feature list....

"mr wee" type suggestion creators please give me your ideas, i can "mr wee" too but I have a short list of things i'm actually working on. it is fun to discuss...

mainly I want to create an environment that a small community can thrive.. IE not relying on players to purchase loots (hence my pricing scheme on items) etc etc.

most of the major exploits have been smashed, i'm always looking to discover more so I can fix them. please let me know if you break something, and it makes you rich ! i'll let you keep what you get if you tell me, but if i catch you, i delete your toon or gear, depending on severity of what you are doing :)

server is back after a close call with some overly lame weather.

with backups being destroyed in a little bit of flooding I had in my basement... and my two pcs I had running were borked...

anyways I frankensteined up a better pc and was able to recover the pertinent bits of the server for re use.. it should be working again soon, i'm just going to test it.

it looks like it works, i can connect and some random people have as well.

I don't care if things are slow (community wise) on it, it's a fun little pet project for me to polish my c++ and sql skills.

Thanks. I"ll give it a try later.

hehehe
 

heheheheheheheheheheheh

the server is back

and there is a rather interesting surprise I coded up in PoK, don't worry you won't have to "try" to find it.. heheheheheheh.

can we get a Population running again on the Server?

I think it is possible.

I'm keeping all of my own code changes current with the latest source so all the goodies are still in working order, and the DB still has all the player data from before.

is XP still doubled for the week ETC?

yes the xp is doubled (x6) for the next week or two, then it goes back to the regular bonus (x3)

Fun server - I've been messing around on it alone for the past week or so. And with the addition of bots to the EQ Emu world, I have been able to do a lot of the groupable content by myself.

If only there was a spell scriber FOR FREE *cough cough* -- I mean come on, im the only one in here. gimmie mah spells!

Let me know in IRC if you need any help fixing any weird bugs bud :)
