Frozen Shadow - SoV Server

[Nall]

Well.. I wanted to hold off until it was completely finished.. but i've come to the conclusion that it will "never" be perfect and im going to need some beta testing...

I know about 50 things that i need to do to the server right now.
most of which is blocking off zones.. removing non-SOV spells.. etc..

Been working on the server for over 400 hours easily.. still not done LOL.

So without further wait..

Let me know what you think, and I need a few beta testers (2-3) and one or two people that are interested in jumping aboard the project to finish off loose ends..

PM me if interested,
Beta Testers need to have EQ Live experiance

Hired a DB friend to implement "Single sign on" and an "Invite Only" System.
The Invite Only system will work like this.

- 20 Starting People (Staff, Friends etc)
- Each person gets to send out invites to friends / family etc.
- In turn when the invited people hit level ten on ANY character, they can invite friends / family.. and so on.

I can not wait for this server to be live. Got excited when I saw this. Will boxing be allowed?

[Nall]

The current idea is to limit boxing to dual boxing .. so no more then 2 characters at once.

Bots will be removed Completely..

I really dont want to see people running around with 5 - 10 accounts soloing dragons / mobs and dominating the server.

However, I do see the utility in using two accounts at once.. Sometimes your just missing ONE class... or soloing some mobs becomes a real hassle..

On the same note though.. In the spirit of Ax classic.. I'll be increasing the damage output and hp of certain dragons / mobs... to compensate.

Seems to me that the Teamspeak is down, receiving a 0x705 error when trying to connect which, when broken down, means unable to contact server host. Let me know in PMs if this is just my problem or if the teamspeak is actually down.

[Nall]

using Teamspeak 3? Servers been up all day / night. I get email alerts when it goes down for more then 15 seconds.. and im on it now.
