World of Alkora (aka EQA)

[KhaN]

Hello,

In the last 3 weeks, lots of persons pm'ed me to get news about "Everquest Anthology", asking if project was dead because forum was down, server is no more on eqemu server list.

"Everquest Anthology" project isnt dead, but was under a major revamp during those last 4 weeks, we moved all services (website, forum, irc, loginserver ...) to a new host, and revamped our forums, websites. The other big change is now the project is called "World of Alkora", maybe some of you remember a project with the same name made by Nemo some years ago (At the start of EQEmu). But we dont take only the name back, "World of Alkora" will now get its own original lore, this is a major change to "World of Alkora" project, its no more related to EverQuest lore in any points, making it a new and original lore to explore.

Other major change in "World of Alkora" is it will introduce a new way to play MMO, where team cooperation, exploration, are the keywords. "World of Alkora" is a world with kingdoms, empire, republics, federations, scattered on it, each countries have its rules (Some kingdoms forbid magic, other summoned pets, other technologic, ...), play systems that players will have to deal with it, all players will starts in the same kingdom, and players will have to quests, get involved in Alkora lore to delock kingdoms and be able to pass frontiers. More informations about this system will be posted on "World of Alkora" soon.

"World of Alkora" server is still online, but no more on EQEmu loginserver, "World of Alkora" use its own loginserver, totally independant from EQEmu. When project will be more advanced, read the game basis will be integred, VIP access will be given, and VIP will be allowed to log into the "World of Alkora" server to test what is being work, but this will take some more time.

The objective of "World of Alkora" project is nor more, nor less, to take eqemu out of eq, to show eqemu potential, allowing players to play 35 class, from commoner to hero, exploring totally new zones, in a few words, play a new game, for free.

This bring another question, when "World of Alkora" will start to be playable ? Im sorry to say this, but there is no real ETA, our first objective is to release the first kingdom (Republic of Vniss) as soon as possible, to show players what the game will be, to show game mechanics, but there are so much work to do that it make impossible to give an ETA.
This is where you can help, we need C++ coders and 3D graphists, if you fit in one of those two categories, and you always dreamed to build your RPG, feel free to PM me.
