I had a great time last night - I was actually able to dedicate a large chunk of time for this yesterday. A wonderful player picked me up, let me join his group and power leveled me and his alts from 5 to 70. Now I have to decide on a second character for myself!

Pretty good server.

The admin is most of the time online or at least checking whats going on around the server.
Many many updates done already and many to come.

Lot of helpfull players always willing to help you level up or get new gear.

Well, I've played alot around on eqemu and definetly this one is a good one. And just now people are starting to arrive at the big content, so everyone have chance to come up

Its double exp weekend.

Update as of today:
Beastlords
- Feral Swipe AA increased to 4x original amount

Paladin:
- Hopebringer, Bloodstone Blade of ZM, Blade of Forgotten Faith procs changed to pure group targeted AE, rather than single target DD + recourse Group heal, This should help increase aggro control for paladins
- Pious Fury spell proc damage increased from 175 to 425 and made magical to be affected by focus effects to help increase paladin DPS

Bard:
-Instrument mods were given a x5 value

Honor augments:
-Each effect was given a x3 modifier to increase the effectivenes of the procs

Aspects:
-Illusion was removed so people can use their own illusions if they wish since aspects have become so popular.
-Screech effect added as to prevent stacking.

Gem system:
-6 new gem types are now droppable for the Hand, Helm and Weapon Type 10 slots
-NPC for further upgrade information can be found in Nexus
--Diamond, Amythest, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire and Topaz each with 14 ranks from lowest to highest
--Chipped, Flawed, Regular, Flawless, Perfect, Radiant, Square, Flawless Square
--Perfect Square, Radiant Square, Star, Flawless Star, Perfect Star, Radiant Star

Weapon augments:
-New weapon augments and an ammo slot click for casters each with 5 ranks
-NPC for further upgrade information can be found in Nexus
--Inferno Strike, Blizzard Strike, Soul Devour, Barrier, Divine Judgment, Arcane Lapse
--Each augment is upgraded by fusing 2 of the same rank together with its material type

Global Item Changes:
-All items have had their recommended and required level dropped.
-All items containing under 725HP have been made droppable to allow for some fun alt twinking.

There were major updates!!!

A very custom augment was included on global drop. (Yes, even level 1 snake can drop them)
There are augments for Hand / Head slots, weapons and ammo slot for casters.

The augments can be increased, just combine 2 of the same gem to get a better one of that kind. Some of those augments have: HP, Crit Heal, Damage on crit melee, crit spell, increase weapon base and magic damage, etc...

There is a new custom way to spend your "banked" AAs, so if you are fully AA'ed you still can xp to get more stuff, such as 125% more xp clicky, CoTh clicky, and damage clickies.

PoP progression was revamped, so you dont need to do all quests, with the exception of PoTime, which will require you to grab a quest and kill the elemental gods.

Pets have been buffed up with damage, hp and levels.

I was going to jump in on the server but didn't see it! Is it down? D:

Server is down indefinitely. My HDD crashed a couple weeks ago, but ive been working on a new project and bringing a new server online here in the next 2-3 months. Brand new ideas, starting from scratch and keeping some old ideas as well as implementing a ton of new ones. Completely new setup.

Where are your backups!!!!

[Mariomario]

Unfortunately I didnt have any sort of external HDD or even though about saving a copy on the thumb drive I owned for school. Alas everything was on that one computer, but I had several offer a possible program that might help to restore some stuff even after a format. Unfortunately it didn't save anything.

Now I have a new server in the works and with the years worth of knowledge I've gained along with the ideas and learning the spell values, more perl scripting, and tons on tons of ideas on how to create a new server I've thought that even though starting fresh sucks this will give me a new start with a brand new way to introduce content, items, events, progression etc. Instead of working with a server to keep trying to tape that broken piece that just keeps breaking instead of just ordering a new piece so nothing else breaks.

I feel I will be able to produce another successful server and this time around it will be even better than the last.
