Scorpious2k Server is up

[Scorpious2k]

The guildmasters have been fixed, you can now train at any time all the way up to level 130!

One bug at the moment... mobs seem to be dropping more than usual.

[Scorpious2k]

Another feature from the original server is in.

Growing spells has been installed and is working well. This means that the spell you have gets better as you level higher.

[Scorpious2k]

More progress:

The status bars (HP/mana/endurance) now work correctly for players after level 85 for all clients.

I've fixed the lootdrop code so that mindrop and droplimit actually work as expected.

Just so you know, I am interested in this!!

In fact the spells that grow as you level I would like to implement!

I don't want to get accused of posting in the wrong forum, but I'm willing to discuss this elsewhere - let me find a place. I'm thinking custom code would be the place for this. What do you think?

[jpyou127]

Custom code sounds great!

Our host was down all day, causing the Scorpious2k Server to also be unavailable.

It's back up now. So are we.

What kind of difficulty is this server designed to support? Couldn't find a lot of info on this. Is it solo/small group? Need a ton of people?

[Scorpious2k]

In my opinion, although it may not be easy, you can solo much of it.

That said, the high end of the server probably can't be. Most players group or multi-box.

Wow... I come back to check in and jump onto a few servers and check the forums and I see you're back! Awesome. I'll be on later.

Hey guys I would like to formally invite everyone to come check out the custom server Scorpious2k I am not an admin or a GM of the server just a player who really enjoys the server and I think that some/all of you would really enjoy it as well. We have several beginner guides on the forums which you can find here, http://scorpious2k.tk/ , as well as the custom server files. We are always discovering new hidden quests and fun toys, as well as they always listen to the players to help improve our gameplay! Please come out and enjoy the server with us. If you need help or advice while on server look for Irsmart, Fritzzir (or any other Fritz), Logi, or any of our players really we are a very welcoming and helpful bunch.

Hope to see you soon!
Irsmart!!

Just wanted to chime in here with some good words of encouragement for S2k. I've been having a lot of fun here. You can solo or box up to a full group or even join in a group with others. The tutorial zones are interesting with nice starting armor and weapons and a few quests. lots of mobs to kill and a good number of custom zones. I've met a good number of nice and helpful players, as well.

S2k needs work, sure, but the owner is working on it actively and is active in the playing community. I think its pretty cool to be a part of a server that's growing as I play. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. I stopped in to just look and a month later I'm still here. Anyway, just my 2 cents of endorsement.

I was reading some "old", maybe even nostalgic, posts in this server forum. I noticed
Scorpius server dates as far back as 2004 ? From what I read, it seemed this one and
another one called Winter's Roar were two of the most popular.

[Scorpious2k]

May 18, 2003 was when we brought the server up for the first time.

The top servers back then were ours, Winter's Roar (which later became Shards of Dalaya), and Guildwars.

[DanCanDo]

2003, wow.
I was actually suprised at the time frame in the starting of this whole emu project and
servers like yours being up only a few years after eq live got going.
As I scrolled through the changelog of the source (from gitpull) the earliest was from
8/10/03 but not really sure when it actually all got started, as far as the first public
emu servers going up.
