Chaos you goober you do realize your response was 10hours after the other guys post.
Server did indeed crash last night / early this morning and most of us crazies went to sleep.

Finally you got some sleep :p

Long story short, I would like to take the opportunity to appologize for the lack of communication and for our web services being temporary down for the last few days. More details about how unlucky we were at our portal. Btw the downtime had nothing to do with the game server.

Just wanted to stop by the emulator forums and give another plug for the server that I've enjoyed playing on over the past 12 months ( kind've crazy I've stuck with one emu server for this long ).

The guild and I have been working on the current end zone in the raid scene for the past two months working with Vaion ( the creator of the zone ) and have been progressing through it enjoying the difficulty of the events and the creativity and strategy required. I raided on live through GoD and I've played on emulator servers for over 5 years, this zone is the best raid experience I've had on emulator, and had me reliving the 'sitting on the edge of my seat' moments that I used to have on live when we thought we were going to beat an encounter for the first time ( rathe event anyone? lol ).

The current high end zone on THF is one that any EQ raiding veteran would enjoy working through with a small raid ( we had 4 real life people each 3-4 boxing, think we were sitting with 16 characters with bots ). We beat two events tonight, but the par for tier 2 of this zone is a 15-20 minute encounter with main mobs, adds, ae's, item clicks at certain spots in the encounter, tank swapping, using warriors on some mobs, knights on other etc. The encounters are extremely interactive, and just enjoyable. I don't think Vaion will ever get the recognition he deserves with the great quality of a raid zone that he produced, but hopefully this is a small step in that direction.

Ended up taking us 7 attempts over a few different nights to finally learn and beat the hatchet event.

THF released lots of quality custom content since our latest update here. Please check out our portal for details. (click my sig)

I would like to share with you how nice our hub zones look like. Credits goes to Vaion <3

I just wanted to let you know how much fun I am having on The Hidden Forest server. This server is the benchmark of how Emulated servers should run. It has great content, active GMs, and most of all a website that is not just a standard bulletin board, but the full blown website; a place to look at zones, items, and achievements. The dedication and attention to detail by the admins far surpass any of the other servers that I have played on, and I have played on them all.

They also profit, not many of us do.

Thank you Barath <3

Vaion worked a lot to revamp and extend our new achievement system, I think it's really nice and fun.
