open beta testing for classic legit pve - Page 3

Woo.. I'm glad people are enjoying the CT... took me over a week researching and scouring my memories to create it.

I will be willing to share it with the community if there is a demand. Not sure how exactly I would do it though.. I created the mobs with new ID #s and loot ids. So I'm not sure how that would work with queries?

I have to give a huge thanks to Angelox.. as his was the database I started the server with.

To prevent any type of corruption or character deletion.. I am the only person with access to modify any of the database, remotely or otherwise. Xzerion, Tantalar, Christian, Moisel and others have provided with me with tons of information to make it all possible. (thanks guys <3 )

For any in-game or connectivity issues, please visit the current webpage at http://classicbetatest.guildlaunch.com as I do not want to spam up the eqemu boards anymore than I have already.

Thanks again eqemu for providing me a great way of learning mysql and perl.

I'm liking the server -- when I can connect to it (I'm having serious issues connecting and staying connected to lots of servers, not just yours) -- but I can't post on the forums you linked. I'd like to share bugs and broken mechanics/quests that I find and help you fix things up, but I can't post anything. Even though I registered and everything, it just says: "Sorry, but only registered users can post topics in this forum." What do I need to do to be able to post on your forums?

Nice work so far. Any chance on a ETA? March? Later? Earlier? I would come to this server with 20+ people ready to be very active. Boxing aloud or not.

Have you blocked MQing? That would be the icing on the cake for me. Seems like other servers only threaten Bashishment.... Then the player gets a slap on the wrist and is back in a week.

i hope it will be ready within a month or two.. it really depends on the amount of submissions from the beta players

Fast travel was implemented in 1999 :P Druids and wizards.

I do appreciate the feedback, as I like to hear everyone's opinions of classic. I do not think my server will include such things as fast travel though :( sorry to those who require it.

I agree with you Nilbong, I am just learning of your server and can't wait to help you test it. Why have all servers the same right? This is going to be fun.

I logged in and made up a bard and noticed quite a few things right off the bat.

- The Bard spell I started with was salve that is not classic
-I started with 5 skill in 1 h slash
- I started with taunt and tracking at level 1
- Also I started with a backpack. In classic you had no bags.
- my 1h slash and offense skills went up very fast as well. Too fast.
- Also casting the song used mana. Only charm and maybe one other song used mana.

I did not play long but I found many non classic errors. Thanks for your work.
