Araz4Story - a new era private server

Araz4Story - Old School Server

We know it has been a long time since we've given up on the Old School Project. We thought it wasn't worth it to start an old school Server, because there were very few ways of adding in own patches. Also we've seen that the Old School Servers that were online at that time have been very poorly populated, which brought us to the decision to cancel the project and focus on the PVP Server and then later PvE (which would have been on the same patch as the PVP though). But after the success we've seen of Servers like 4Ancient and v4Story, we sat together to rethink our decision. We remembered what makes people play old school Servers and it's not the Custom Features they have to offer. People play old School because it was the good, old, simple 4Story. So not having the opportunity to add custom features is not a problem anymore. Due to this reason we decidede to reopen the Project of Araz4Story Old School.

After picking up the Ideas we've collected before, we've seen some mistakes in the concept that might not be as appealing as it sounded at first. So we reworked a few things. Im proud to present you the new concept and features of Araz4Story Old School. As always we want to leave your feedback to help us improve as much as possible. But let's start:
