The Edge Server revival

Secrets · #1 06-25-2008, 04:09 AM

It's back up for anyone interested.

Website

Features:

Quote:

- Content up to level 250 + (Raid Content Coming Soon)
- Stat-based gameplay, start at all stats at 1 and fight to earn them. This results in a lot of "hack and slash" gameplay that people adore, while keeping everything balanced and fair.
- BestZ Roamboxes - See this post if you want the code, as it isn't in CVS:
http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=24208
- Level Cap of 250, with a bug fix for the 87ish exp rollover as well as fixed client display issues.
- #stats command, never be left in the dark on your statistics. Shows full information about your character. Has arguments of #stats race [playable race name] to change your playable race, amongst other things.
- Beginner's Tutorial (WIP)
- Some classes can have multiple pets, at the moment this is only necromancers (4 pets), when magicians, beastlords, and necromancers get their epic, they receive 2, 2, and 8 pets respectively.
- Custom serversided spellfile to work with titanium's without modifying anything.
- Randomly generated NPC textures, by slot or by whole.
- Randomly generated NPC names; never see the same guard again!
- Randomly generated NPC genders + races - again, you probably won't see the same human twice.
- Randomly generated races - Do I need to repeat myself?
- Titanium compatibility right out of the box.
- Custom zonelines: zonelines are different and custom zonelines that are non-object are in the world. (though we still do have some object clickies

)
- Tons of class-specific features (try playing an enchanter unarmed for example, you'll be in for a surprise)
- Tradeskilled weapons system, craft your way to the top with drops from NPCs in world. Over 150+ custom recipes to choose from.

Soon to come:

Quote:

-Plane of Time raid zone, fight the drunken ServerOP raidmob, and get your keys for:

-New city zone: Beat Plane of Time and get access to the next series of zones.

-Tradeskill epics, all that work has to pay off in some way.

-Class epics, become the best of your class! (For now?)

-New experience/progression zones

-Scripted events for old zones

-Random named loot

Word to new players: Give us a shot, I think you'll like it.

Word to old players: Welcome back, good stuff is on the way.

Sorry for this off topic (welcome back and all), but you think we could get this one into official code?

Holy crap, you fixed the client display issues for Stats(AC/Attack) and Skills for level 71+ chars? Or just the display issue with displaying the level of the player in the UI? I didn't even see that note at first lol. That would be an awesome fix lol.

Also, have you had any luck with fixing the issue where spells for level 71+ get removed from the spellbook when you zone? I have to keep #scribespells enabled on my server as a temporary work around.

Those are 2 issues that have plagued me for a long time now. It would be awesome to get these fixed!

I believe it does display stats up to 1500, however at 1500 the stats go to red, and it's just a clientside bug. If your eyes sear from red text, there's always #stats.

Spellbook issue? Must've been caused in a recent (940+) EQEmulator build, as KMRA doesn't even have it and they are stuck on 1108.

As for fixing the exp rollover issue, I know the exp formula is different than most servers... meaning, it was revamped fully. (You don't get exp percents, you get actual exp numbers.)

As for fixing the client-display issue... gonna have to ask my coder on that one, no idea.
