Dark Star FFXI Server

Greetings!

I would like to take a moment and let everyone know that the English Dark Star forums are currently open and running. While the game server itself is still in a very early alpha stage of development we are able to bring this information to you.

This is NOT a PXI server. This is a new server designed on the eAthena/Ragnorok MMO source code.

Please visit us on the Dark Star forums for all the latest information regarding the Dark Star server.

Once there you can find info regarding:

Build Status
24/7 Public Test server information
Stress test events
and more!

Obviously with any new forum it is a bit bare and the entire site is still being developed.. It will fill up and get more complete in time. Hope to see you all there. Oh! And if you have any problems just let me know.

Dear Elitepvpers mods: I added a return link to here on the bottom of our forums and on the main content page. If you have any questions or concerns on this feel free to send me a message and we can work it all out.

Thanks!

Would be nice if after i put passwords in it would let me log in to the new website i even clicked on forgot password copy and pasted it and it still wont let me log on.

Odd, well your the first. Hit me up on hamachi when you get the chance and we can work out the issue.

Note that our first stress test will be starting 3/21. More info later and that info will be on the forums.

Information regarding the stress test starting on 3/21 has been posted on the forums. Hopefully a few of you are willing to come help as the more the merrier. :)

I may sound very stupid but I found nothing on your site that is informing me of what is going on, and questions I have I still cannot find answers to

Do you have 24/7 server up?
Is there 2 servers?
Where is server info?
How would someone totally clueless be able to login and get playing on your server

Totally confused right now, I know how to set it up on my own PC but no idea at all how to connect to yours and cannot find any information on it.

To answer your questions: There is a public test server up 24/7; There is not two servers - we are no longer working on the ProjectXI server; The information on how to connect is at that link; and at this point you will not be able to "play". You can log in and run around areas, chat with other players via /say and /tell, craft, and you will find merchants and shops are working. I am sure I left out many other game mechanics that have been implemented as well, but you will not be able to attack monsters, gain experience points, complete Missions among many other things.

Hope this helps.

Thats weird I've seen people attack mobs in youtube videos.

I keep getting 10038 even though I am up to date.

That is because people are on either an old PXI server or using the DLX-PXI server. We are building a new server from the ground up and not using any of the PXI code. Faster, more stable and it can hold a lot more people.

Please post further problems/questions and the like in the forums. The information ther eis building up more and more every day. Just have to browse through it.

i think i may just be prone to errors i usually use pxi tried using dlx and got (The procedure entry point_invalid_parameter_noinfo_noreturn could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll.) i was missing Msvcr100.dll and downloaded it soooooooo.
P.S. Can i has cheeseburger?

Unfortunately this thread has nothing to do with DLX-PXI.. You should never ever go to any dll download site and download anything. Most of the time they are spam, spyware, adware, viruses. The first [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] says to install visual c 2008 & 2010 redistributables. Which is what you need to run it.

i actually got 2008 guess i gotta get 2010

next test is coming up on 3/28. early details are on the forums.

Information regarding the 3/28 server testing has been posted on the forums. Hope to see a bunch of you there. :)

um yeah...so do you guys have a client to log in with or what? I've been all over your forum and can't find any files anywhere...how am I supposed to connect to 'test' the server?
I see that you have added a lot of npc's willing to talk and all that...but HOW do I connect in the first place?

Are you sure you have been all over our forum? Odd.. that is ok though. It is easy to miss the Sticky thread called "Connecting to the Server & Windower" in the stress test section of the forums. :)
