Nobody has popped up and said it's gone yet. Unexpected down time is not abnormal for servers, so it could be the case.

I can't seem to join the Discord linked earlier in the thread either.

If I am being honest, with Daybreak's announcement (which is pretty much identical to my server's end goal), there is no point in continuing here when they will provide the one missing void that this server was hoping to fill.

So as such, I have shut this down. If anyone is interested in the code changes and database changes, or wants to make a "Dad Server" based on my work, please let me know.

I will be working on improving the TAKP windows client henceforth - something that is in no danger of going anywhere and is not run by myself.

Yes, I would definately be interested in the code and db changes. You've done some kickass work on that server.
A "Dad Server" could definately be doable, or even an uncle server, haha.

I bet their servers are still totally broken in terms of monk damage, pet damage, etc. anyway. Out of era drops. New zones. It just isn't what it needs to be to really appeal to my nostalgia.

Hi, I'm currently trying to make a PoP server in the RoF2 client. There are many similarities about what was described in this thread and what I'm hoping to do. I'm completely new to this, so it would just be a personal/LAN server for the foreseeable future. Perhaps way down the road if I felt comfortable enough that it was worth making available to other players, I would do so.

Secrets, I'm hoping you still have this database available and are willing to share it. I've played around a bit with EOC 2.0 and SQL, but any resources I can grab to give myself a head start on this would be greatly appreciated!

Meh, your server would have been better. Their "true box" means there will still be plenty of boxers. It is pay to win with exp potions and what not during the level race. They're including Ykesha/ldon, not stopping at PoP. Plus, it isn't until summer! Are you sure you don't want to keep yours going? I doubt you'd lose many players to it.

Hmmm always liked doing the LDoN missions (of course I wasn't grinding them like some people did).

For me it was cool to do something approximating a "dungeon crawl" (well sorta), as opposed to what in the end was the same thing, no matter what zone, as pulling crocs in oasis back to your group for hours and hours. Well for daily groups anyway.

Plus you didn't have to go more than 2 zones, if that, to actually start doing something, as opposed to getting people to go, and getting them to Chardok or something.

Loved this style of server. Hope someone gets this "dad server" up and running.

Yes, I had a couple toons going on it myself. I got a nice dedicated box to put it on and run it if Secrets will let me go that route.
