Introducing Shannara Conquer

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one updating this thread and I'd like to thank kindkiller for that. It surely is extremely fulfilling to see others interested in the project as well and, most of all, being able to share the feeling and experience with them =P

Anyways, here's the complete full update of the server so you can all take a look at and understand what we've been up to, I've unlerlined those who weren't on kindkiller's post!

Changelog:

• Team Deathmatch - kill enemies and earn points for your team
• Freeze War - skill based event (FB/SS/VP)
• Squamas have been added - find them and obtain great treasures
• You'll now learn/improve boxing proficiency when attacking mobs without a weapon
• Introduced an event API that is used as a base to create and control new events (thumbs up for time saving)
• Items/Gold no longer drop in unreachable coordinates
• You can no longer attack other players inside the Training Ground and Promotion Center
• You'll now receive invitations upon events, use /invitations command if you want to enable/disable them
• Added "Allies" chat - type ALLY in the message recipient and use Guild chat to talk to all your allies
• Added an unlimited stamina arena where you can train FB/SS/VP (500,000 silvers to get in, only 4 players allowed at a time)
• Improved source stability and fixed some (too many) minor bugs
• Rescheduled some events to avoid them from overlapping each other

Besides all of these, I've officially finished my finals which means I finally have more time to put into the project. Therefore, more updates shall be expected as we keep striving to improve our gameplay and give our community the best experience we can provide.

kindkiller already posted the events schedule in here but I'll leave it here once again. Besides all of these events we have other PVP events running every 30 minutes:

Thanks in advance to all of you who've kept interested in Shannara.

Kindest regards,
Nyo

*Edit good server but quite laggy for me - Guessing it's a EU server

A peek at their chatbox shows a bunch of ppl saying the server was frozen but sounds like it may be back online. I can't speak towards how often that happens, just took a peek at their forum to double check.

definetily going to try this one, anyone can tell me its active?

We peak at 350 players there, so pretty active yeah

My epvprs nickname is ashfaye07 my ingame shannara acc is AshBarsumo.

The game is very satisfying as it involves the classic experience of conquer.
The only problem with me is that no quest that gives you enough experience as plvling is very hard. it would be appreciated to do a quest once a day that gives you an xp worth of 1 xp ball.

That's weird because the last time the server froze was around 31/05 and I believe to have fixed the issue that caused it to happen. It could be the use of an outdated client since our client protection is checking for client version at login tho.

Thanks for the feedback !

We'll surely consider adding even more PVE quests so you guys can have a good time leveling !

Regards =)

The Shannara Conquer is so great. great experience that is so nostalgic that is so close to conquer 1.0. There should be a quest that would give you more xp as plvl alone would be so hard. but all in all it is great, it should be ranked top 3 in my views. Hope the gms of the game would invest a little of their busy time. thanks.. My epvp nickname is knightofash. my ingame name is Sittie

They should do something about the lag though

Familiar, cozy.... like coming home.

Classic

Hope y'all doing well.

First things first, I'd like to show my appreciation for the positive comments above ! It's great to keep having support =P

So, I'm also here to bring you one more changelog for the server:

• King of the Hill Event have been added - damage is based on the skill used, stay in the center square to earn more points;
• Pass the Bomb Event have been added - FB/SS based event;
• Both of the events above are running interspersed with LMS and FB/SS/VP Events;
• House Furniture and House Warehouses (ItemBoxes) have been added;
• Whisper Windows are now properly working, you can check player's info/details;
• A bug related to magic defense have been fixed;
• You can now cast stigma/magic shield/accuracy on other players inside the Training Ground once again (minor bug introduced in a previous update);
• Overlord overall rates prices have been lowered to 1000 points;

Last but not the least, I'd like to share one more thing we've accomplished this weekend which is a new record on online players. It's official, during this Sunday's Guild War Shannara Conquer had 370 Online Players logged in at the same time. It's great to see how much the community have grown since the beginning and keeps growing every month.

Even tho King of the Hill Event is a generic PVP Event I'd like to give credits to the Redux team since there's where the players that suggested this event got the idea from. Regarding the event itself, attacks damage depend on the type of attack and skill you use being the highest damage the one dealt by aim based skills (FastBlade, ScentSword and ViperFang) corresponding to 8 Health Points. Every character inside the tournament has 20 HP and will keep reviving every two seconds, this way everyone has a chance at winning, even if they've just joined the server. Here's a video that shows the first test run we had for it.
Note:You might have noticed that at the end the scores show another player should've won the event, basically the server wasn't sending the scores when the event ended so the last scores update would be around 5 seconds before late. That have obviously been fixed already =P

If you're looking for a classic experience for Conquer this is the server for you. I have played nearly every other server out there and I haven't enjoyed any of them nearly as much as this one. The lack of OP donations and vast amount of custom content is exactly what most players of private servers are looking for and this server has just that.

I would like to say that after Triumph was merged with its US version, Shannara is the only eu hosted classic server worth playing out there, Nyorai is constantly adding new content and listening to suggestions to improve the server and he's also very strict when dealing with people who break the rules so he's quite professional. Shannara also has a very competitive gw, pvp and pve events and the latest implementation is the bosses that drop customization rewards. So for all the veterans out there you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for both of your reviews, they're highly appreciated.

Hopefully I'll have a teaser of our new bosses soon so that people can take a look at what's being done on the server.

I'll also post a resume of the latest updates when I do so.

Thanks to all of you who're in touch with Shannara, the community as a whole and myself really appreciate it !
