However, there's a small(or big) issue. I've saved up enough money to rent a decent server for a month but I won't be able to keep it up without any support. The problem is that paypal doesn't work in my country. I've checked couple global services but they don't seem reliable nor easy to setup. So if you know of any reliable and easy to setup(like paypal) service, hit me up please.

I've been working on this project for about 250 days now. Made a fair progress with the little resources I had but more importantly it was a great learning experience. I would like to keep working hard and create the best server I can. Though, I may have to stop in a month or two and focus on university as I've already lost a year due to this project, depending on how things go financially. Luckily, emulator has majority of the features in place and is likely to be completely playable by that time so even if I end up focusing on school, I'll keep the server online so long as it can sustain its expense.

I appreciate all the verbal support so far and would like to thank to everyone for sticking around, regardless of how things end up.
This server should make enough to keep it going and make you some money if its playable. It may start slow though, justac did the first few weeks until people told their friends and it took off. My question is I wonder if people will come from justac for more content but lower xp. I think this is where you are so important to the success of the server. You have listened to the players already, that's great! If you make daily/weekend events the server should grow. I personally can't wait to play it.

Honestly I would prefer for people who're playing on justac to stay there. Compared to justac, this server is at a very early stage but people often seem to not understand that and eventually get disappointed.

I would really appreciate if players had a mindset like "I know this server isn't great and has a lot of room to improve but still fun to play". Ofcourse, if it turns out to be so terrible that it's impossible to have fun then it deserves to die.

I'm working on a weekly pvp event which ideally will run on its own. I'll try to get it working by the time that I launch the server. It's very likely that I'll add more server-wide events in the future as well.

With the addition of this event I'm sure people will level their characters in no time to grab the rewards so hopefully leveling will be more attractive despite the rates. I'm also willing to add more events to encourage lower level players to put in the effort to level their characters.

@[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], what about combined waepons? Can you change them like HH weapons? I mean refine possibility similar to HH, not HH stats. I think stats should be similar as in elite waepons.

Sure why not. However, I'm against the idea of changing item stats/recipes just for the sake of changing them. So if I ever rework them, it'll be accompanied by other reworks such as a rework of an unpopular but decent looking area.

I got my hands full at the moment so these are just ideas which I can't put into action anytime soon.

Great, i think same. Refine should be hard and unpopular ^^
Combined waepons are useless now, but cannot be better than other waepons. Cuz everyone start use them, and all other waepons will be crap.

Would be nice if you could make a list again whats all working when server comes online and whats not working, so we know on what we can focus on ( may also helpfull for later bugreports).

Just wanna mention that there should be no "op" weapons, just give the combined weapons different stats which can be used for different play styles. I dont have an exact idea about which stats but it should be possible to make more items playable at different character lvls.. just to have more options for different builds (not like just ac now where u need these new op Uniques to do anything).

In my opinion combined waepons should have same basic stats like other waepons + 1 extra stat (cast, cooldown, dmg, att rating etc.), never +1 learned skills.
Example:
Bi Tristan Sword (lvl53) should be better than Blood Scimitar (lvl47) but not better than Harshslaughter Sword (lvl55).

but, as @[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] said, meybe anytime soon.

Done :)

Also, here's a little preview of the weekly pvp event I've mentioned. I'll be making the finishing touches tomorrow so if you've got any suggestions about the format let me know :)

I'm running oracle, visual studio, servers, recording software and 3 clients so excuse the slow computer speed.
