Clumsy's World [Velious, Semi-Custom, QoL+]

[chrsschb]

I will preface by saying we appreciate all the imitators that have existed in our 15 year run; however, you cannot please everyone and we are excited to be taking on a familiar, but new journey to Velious and beyond with our newest server, Clumsy's World: Resurgence.

We started beta back in August 2019 and officially launched October 2019. We released Velious May 2021 and have started working on our post-Velious changes (lore-specific) and future content updates.

Server Description

Clumsy's World: Resurgence (CWR) is a Semi-Custom, Legit, PvE Server. The CWR staff is dedicated to recreating a fun, challenging, and social environment for its players. We have been around the EQEmu community since 2006, hosting two other iterations of CW and assisting within the community itself. CWR is not a classic server. Our vision is to take the world and lore as it exists in Classic-Velious and build upon it with our own twists and creations.

Lore

What the players know, as of Velious, is that Kerafyrm was the illegal child of two opposing elemental dragons, creating a powerful prismatic dragon. Kerafyrm rose quickly to great strengths, becoming an exceptional general, but developed an insatiable hatred and blood-lust. Because of this he was seen as a threat by the Council of Elders and Veeshan sentenced him to death. An acquaintance of Kerafyrm's decided instead to lock him away in a prison, known as Sleeper's Tomb.

During his rise to power Kerafyrm acquired many followers; they were known as Ancients. Who are they, what were their motivations, and what would become of them if the Sleeper were ever set free?

CWR dives straight into the world you remember and expands on the stories of the Ancients and follows the Resurgence of Kerafyrm. Come join us as we embark on this journey.

Progression Paths

• Standard Content: This is your standard Classic->Velious Expansions with balance changes, quality of life improvements, and small tweaks. Our goal is to keep the footprint of the open world small.
• Ancient Content: CWR will tell the story of Kerafyrm's Resurgence and his Ancients. You will uncover new NPCs, group/raid encounters, lore, custom quests, items, spells, zones, and more.

Note: CWR is not a classic-progression server. The players are contained to the Classic-Velious world but will explore beyond that through the progress of our story delivery.

What to Expect Going Forward
You will see changes to the known world as we (the players) follow along with the world as we experience the invasion of Kerafyrm's army (the Ancients), the build up to the release of Kerafyrm, and what happens once Kerafyrm's bloodlust is released upon the world.

We add to the lore of Kerafyrm, the Ring of Scale, and the Claws of Veeshan by establishing some supporting characters that were otherwise glossed over or missing. We take the story during Velious and change it to a what-if style scenario. What would have happened if Kerafyrm didn't just get released immediately, kill some major npcs (temporarily), and then fly away? What if he stayed? What if his army stayed? So we're going to explore and build upon that idea. Kerafyrm and his Ancients will continue to be a major point of contention and story-building for the foreseeable future. There will be changes to what you know during and past Velious and hopefully we build a story people want to follow along with.

Final Thoughts & Links
Our server has a storied history and we've been members of this community for a long time. We run a strict policy on Customer Service, our staff are held to high standards, and we're known for our up-time, attention to detail, and integrity. Typically the only people who have a legitimate issue with our server are people who don't like being told no.
