Server Soft Open

[Faergol]

The server is currently up, we will be leaving the password off, so that if people want to DL the Haks before the official launch date of the 29th of September. However, the vaults will be wiped before that day.

I REPEAT VAULT WILL BE WIPED PRIOR TO GOING LIVE ON THE 29th YOU'RE WELCOME TO POKE AROUND IF YOU LIKE BUT ALL VAULT CHARACTERS WILL BE WIPED BEFORE THE 29TH.

This weekend is now an even softer open! See how I put that exclamation mark? Cause it’s totally exciting and not all a delay <.<.

Seriously though, some of the systems, crafting, class adjustments, and some mapping needs are going to take a few more days to get done, so the highly dedicated members of the staff can have a little breathing room, and don’t feel like ripping their eyes out over their own personal Long Night.

That being said, all events run by the staff starting this weekend will be Canon from an RP perspective. However! *searches for his red pen* A vault wipe will occur on Thursday October 4th. Anyone logging in before than and participating in events will be rewarded event XP on their Re-created characters after the wipe. And all RP will be considered canon, and that’s the most important part right?!

We thank you for your patience.

Hey everyone;

As you know tomorrow (at some point) is the planned the vault wipe. There will be a post here when that happens so you know that you're stuck with your new character after that .
As we really jumped in with a heck of a lot of changes for only two and a half weeks of work (after saying we'd only do tiny things + crafting), the server will still be a work in progress. Such as:

*Crafting is in beta. Some things will work. Some things need bug reporting & fixing.
Most stores will have crafting tools available, and most home maps will have most, if not all, crafting stations hidden within them and their assorted buildings. (Kutarans will not yet, and possibly some of the HR factions for extras - they will get them soon).

*Resources for crafting are being placed from low level to high level areas. They -should- be available in all starting areas for launch, followed soon by low hunting areas before Tuesday night (such as the amalthean coast), and then so on from there.

*A new base class will hopefully be available starting tomorrow, the Warsanct. Paladins, Blackguards, and I believe the Crusader PrC will no longer be available.

*Because of the extensive work in getting the crafting system running, there may still be a 'dead' npc or incorrect conversation somewhere in the map as I haven't had a chance to finalize the last few. Please bug report them.

*West Torica and its crafting station is useable but will be beautified later on.

The vault wipe has happened, starting now you will be stuck with the character you create, so plan and build carefully!
