[Loading..] 9D Hardcore - U.S Pvt Server
Drop: x7
Skill: x14
First of all I'd like to say congratulations to the 9Dragons community for staying strong for so long. With such a unique game I wouldn't expect anything less. For many years we've seen the game switch hands. This has left us with a lot of great fun moments, but also with a lot of unbalanced gameplay. Here at 9D Hardcore we'd like to offer you a gaming experience that hasn't been seen in a while.
wHaT mAkEs 9dHaRdCoRe So SpEcIaL?!?!11!one?!!!
Here at 9DHardcore we'll be "starting over" so to speak. This will be a hands-on project by the Developers, Admins, and our community alike to bring forth the most unique and customized server since the Howard*Marks or Play9D days.*
We'll be starting the game as a Floral Crown 6 (Lvl: 114) cap server with NO 2nd Role. Keyword: STARTING.*I know many of the current community hasn't experienced the game WITHOUT the 2nd Role content (and the ones that have I know it has been a while), but this will provide a unique experience that no other private server has been able to launch thus far. As I previously stated we'll be working with our devs and this includes editing current skills, epis, boss drops, relics, and weapons, but I'm excited to announce that we'll also be ADDING NEVER BEFORE SEEN CONTENT that will flow with the previous stages of the game.
I never said we weren't going to use 2nd role, I only said we would be starting without it. Doing this allows us to build the game from the ground up. No more implementing out of whack updates or content for a system or server it was never meant for. The original 2nd role feature was implemented when the level cap was raised to Hermit 12 (Lvl: 180) on Acclaim. We'll be implementing it when the cap is raised to GL6*with the release of the Liaodong map. That'll most likely be the next major patch.
The server will start off with a Pk (Player Kill) cluster where all maps will be PvP enabled except for the 6 clan bases, Bamboo starter map, Hefei & Zhengzhou/ShiZang*maps. All maps from Jinan/Datong & above will be a Pk zone just like Acclaim's* U.S Asura(Pk) cluster. All floors of the Cave of Conquerors will also be PvP enabled. In the future, IF requested, with enough support from the community, we'd be open to launching a PvE cluster. As of right now we feel it necessary to keep the server primarily pk based because it gives everyone a chance at many of the game's most important moments. It's also easier to navigate Storm Vs Storm (a pvp-based feature for the new 9D players reading) on maps that are already PvP enabled. After all, this IS 9D Hardcore right?* All players should have the skill and expertise to navigate their character after finishing the ShiZhang & Zhengzhou maps.
I know you're looking at the server's rates and wondering why it's so low compared to others during the game's private server history. Throughout the years the coveted* Xp event has become irrelevant. Xp cards are no longer a highly sought out item. Most importantly, a lot of players usually have the skill IQ of a low level player,*but get to pilot a high level character. I'm not insulting players by saying they suck. I'm just saying there's a lot of gear,*relics and epis that often gets*overlooked due*to the*insane xp curves.*
As I've previously stated before and I'm going to state many times in the future, this is 9D Hardcore. We have no intentions of making this a "fun" server. Everything on this server will be earned. Whether it be a "Killer Of"*Epi, a rare item that only a specific boss may drop, a high level character, and even the karma from another player. Everything will have to be earned. The main reason why we're so pressed about this "Hardcore" thing is because in addition to earning your game's bragging rights, you'll also be earning REAL LIFE CASH AS PRIZES. Yes. Unless I'm mistaken this'll be the first time I've seen a 9D Server hand out real life cash as prizes. Time is money and we'll be compensating*you for not only your efforts but your results.
There will be many events and situations where players will earn real life cash prizes. The money pot can and will range anywhere from $10 to $250. One of the first big real life cash prizes will be when the first player to reach Floral Crown 6 gets rewarded (or any of the server's level caps). Another way a player will be able to earn real life cash prizes is by continuously*dominating in certain areas of the*game.
For example, we'll be rewarding*the Killer of True General Wei a RLCP, and if you've managed to kill it a couple or more weeks in a row the RLCP will vary depending on your streak. (Horus kills TGW week 1 gets $10. Horus kills TGW week 2 gets $15. Week 3, $20 and so on and so forth).*
This is why our rates are so "low". It's because we'll be doing events and awarding gameplay with real life cash prizes. RLCP winners can also use the option to be rewarded with IM coins instead. We want the players to enjoy every aspect of the game. At the same time, we don't want this to be a grind galore so we've set the rates to something that can still make the XP event much appreciated.*
The Dark Hermit
The Dark Hermit has returned but in this 9D universe there's a major twist. As the mobs are the enemies of The Land, The Dark Hermit will be the enemy of the players. The Dark Hermit will be a character piloted by one of our staff members during the "Witching Hours". The Witching Hours is when the Dark Hermit logs on and terrorizes the server. He'll be going map to map trying to kill anyone he comes across. His sole purpose is to wreak as much havoc as possible.
The "Heroes of The Land" (which happens to be the players within our community) will be tasked with stopping him. Although I highly advise that you run away if you were to ever encounter him, there's only one way to really stop this maniac. Kill him. That's right ! As impossible as it may seem, always remember there are many ways to defeat The Dark Hermit. If the server can successfully defeat The Dark Hermit during Witching Hours ; the server will be rewarded with a server buff and/or an XP event. The individual who is responsible for dealing the last blow will be rewarded with an individual personal reward.
Since he'll be going map to map, the map he's killed on will determine the class of the reward you'll receive. Reward classes are broken up into 4 classes: Low level* - Mid Level - High Level - God Mode. If The Dark Hermit runs through every map and doesn't get killed he'll just log off until next time. There would be no server buff or individual award.*
As this is a new community, the economy will be starting off at rock bottom. Don't we all hate when the market restarts? To help The Land, The Dark Hermit will randomly enter the map of Hefei to buy items from the player's stands! These bought items won't be resold, given back nor given away. All items bought by The Dark Hermit will instantly become a deadstock item and thrown in the trash. The ONLY reason for him being in Hefei will be to support the community and help boost the economy.
The end goal of The Dark Hermit event is to bring back the original aspect of the event. Winners of that form of The Dark Hermit event will be given their own personal version of "The Dark Hermit" character, and will also be able to wreak havoc amongst the land with the DH himself in their own Dark Hermit Hero Band! More information will be available when it's time for the event.
Revamped Shen Mo
One of the most important team-oriented bosses in the game is Shen Mo. Whether low level or high level cap servers, Shen Mo has always been useful for his epithet. We also chose to revamp Shen Mo because he is the leader of the Shadow Clan, one of the five major monster clans. Told the boss I thought it'd be cool to get back to the origins of this game.
Anyway, we'll be making Shen Mo even more useful by revamping the drops. Shen Mo will now be dropping a new 250 Physical / Chi kung Defense relic:
*Along with the new defense relic, Shen Mo will also be dropping a Floral Crown 6 resist set:
The cool thing about this set is that you don't need to wear the entire set to benefit from its*stats. You can still combo equip:
Yin Jiuyou, The Necromancer
I mean... where do we even begin with this bastard? You have no choice but to respect the god known as "Necromancer". The guy is like Michael Myers. We decided to take the 9Dragons universe on a unique spin. We'll be rewarding this asshole with a nice drop. Yin Jiuyou will also be dropping a Floral Crown 6 set:
*Karma System
We've decided to tweak the karma system a smidget. 9D Hardcore has new altered requirements for each title. Don't worry because we've also altered the gains and losses you get after combate to accommodate the new Karma Title requirements. The requirements are set up where PvP wins and losses will be taken seriously as there are many relics or items that will be karma related. Since this is a Pk server we will be rewarding the players who actively PvP. If you're the first to reach a Karma Title with a RLCP tag next to it, you should inform us with visual proof so we can investigate*it and reward you with your prize. The reason why we will be investigating is because we want an organic winner. We will not be rewarding*anyone "Karma Farming".

The 9D Hardcore Video Awards is another way for us to give back to our community. We'll have a discord thread dedicated to HVA submissions where our staff will be picking winners either bi-weekly or monthly. I'll let the community vote on which one they'd prefer. Of course, monthly rewards will be better than bi-weekly. Videos that win the HVAs may or may not be used as promotional content for the server. Video content can be comical, it can be based on your Pking, KSing bosses, guides to help the community, dungeon runs etc, Any and all video content is acceptable as long as it's 9D Hardcore related.
I would love to sit here and tell you everything that the server is going to offer. but then I wouldn't be able to leave any surprises. Thank you to those who read this post. Thank you to those that will be playing and supporting our server. We hope you enjoy your time here at 9D Hardore.
Additional additions I'm showing you for the sake of excitement:
- Shen Mo drops 100 BE
- Necromancer drops 100 BE
- 50 & 60 Chi Kung Def relics:
TL;DR We've started at a pivotal point in the game and reverse built the game to somewhat make it hard but enjoyable. We will now be building on top of that progress with fresh, revamped content only.
P.S The server isn't up for players yet. We're still tweaking a few things and soon we'll be looking for testers to come participate in our CBT (which will be possible through an application). This is just an informative post to let the community know something is coming.
P.P.S Any pics not shown will soon be visible. This account is new and EPVP requires a certain amount of post so I posted the imgurs for now.
of course you need to make money somehow too but i hardly believe those cakes and KGS will destroy the server i mean you can keep those 30% because you still be able to being killed especially with 1k-8k hp.i have seen you will be making events to reward players with real cash so they can buy Qilin mirrors , however if it's going to be PK GM event players instantly will have advantage of +10 cakes it may sound funny (+10) but in reality with fc6 cap , no overpowered weapons/clothes no slots that will be HUGE difference.
