Please let me know when the server is ready, i'd be more than happy to try it out, or do a beta test if that's possible. BTW: since you listed the commands, i assume it's a PVP server (good thing i'm buying a mouse on Monday) :D Finally: Congratulations to Emme, Taguro, and kinishi for setting up their server. +Thanks to all of you for making a true private server. :D Edit: I don't know if leavemealone is part of this project but thanks go to him/her too.

-No, this won't be a PVP server... the released commands are for all players to enjoy and make their experience more pleasurable.

But again, good job.

- I used the LOTF source as a base because it was a good starting point. If you take the time to really look the source over, alot of it is actually very well written, and the parts that weren't are now.

- The lvling rating will be 10x, which makes the first few lvls go by very easily without taking from the enjoyment of lvling at higher lvls (which will still be faster than official CO.) Drop rates will be higher than official, by far, but not so high as to destroy the economy of the game.

** This is a LVLING server. If enough people request it, I will begin work on a PVP server, which will have all the same monsters and spawns, but much fewer quests and much fewer NPC's. I opted not to make a PVP server because I don't want to compete with AcidCO, which is run by far superior coders than me, Kinshi, or Emme. I would definitely recommend AcidCO if you want a great PVP server.

Personal point of note: What makes COBeyond great?

It's not the coding, although without good solid coding you won't get the players. It's having a GM/Owner who'll own you with SS and giggle about it. :P

Serious note: Your doing a wonderful job with all this.

Ah shit,I just gotta answer this.

Using LOTF as a base,okay,we're doing that. BUT, as haydz and you said, " you understand your source better" . I've been working with LOTF source for around 4 months before it got released,I would say thats about 7 months. Enough time to understand the fully code. Now,when I've looked it over and over,im starting to recode.
We recoded a bunch of shit,this is what we got so far:
Emme - Cryptographer.cs, General.cs, some packets , monster movement, client doesnt shut down if it is like 200 monsters around you, bunch of commands/npc so they work more smoothly and take lesser space.


Kenneth - Ah,we just love him. Took the time to recode entire Database.cs , now we use INI files,which tanels third source also does, and he rewrote a bunch of packets , means, he took care of the login freeze.



I wouldnt say for 1 buxx that this is nearly the same source as it were when we first got it. We spended time and effort into making this a good server and source,and make the gameplay wonderfull!
Honestly,in my opinion,if I had to choose within 4 servers, Qonquer,Original Conquer, This server and AcidCO , I would choose this,because I think we improved the gameplay,so you really enjoy it now. Thats only MY opinion!


Mh,anyways,we will love to see more players into the server,and hopefully you guys like it too,as we do.
See you around!


Emme

My bad then, didn't know you had experience with the code before it was actually released. I'm a huge fan of projects that are made from scratch that's why I encourage people to do their own projects instead of using public sources. :)

But like you said, this is only my opinion. If you like working on source that way, fine. Just do it the way you think it's best.

I only take this project as an huge experience. Sooner or later,I will start creating my own sources,or well,this is what im aiming for ;
[x] Studying a public source
[x] Editing the public source a bunch
[x] Creating my own source,take that as an huge experience
[x] Release my source w/ an tutorial where im going through most of the source and explain things ( Will use mic )

[x] Create a nice source my own and create a privateserver of it.



Im only 14 years old,ofcourse,age is no matter,just look at hybrid,but im very busy at life so I dont have much time to even start projects,just continue them.

Well tomorrow if this does end up being released looks like I got a new place to try.

Actually,we cant release it tomorrow ( today ). We have to transfer everything into one source,means we have to get a time when we all can be online.

We'll tell you when its ready.

Understood,Sounds like it should be a good community.

Doing a great job and looking forward to the new server so thanks all who made it happen

I havent checked any other server threads, but its good to see that this server hasnt gotten flamed or anything. I'm not surprised. This may well be the first FLAMELESS (yes i think thats a word) thread for a new server.
