So as some of you know (or at least the ones I talk to on msn), I've decided to restart my old server project. This will be advancing somewhat slow due to the fact that I am in univ and things will be getting very busy soon.
That being said, I've purchased a vps and gotten a significant amount of work done on my source and am to the point where I really do need to start getting people on the server in order to flesh things out more.
<edit>
<Updates: 20/2/10>
Fan/tower re-calculated:
Fixed all known bugs with the calculations including...
-Glory gems now work properly in towers
-Stats calculate properly as you add/remove them (they were stacking for a while lol)
-Revamped tower defense to be slightly larger than fan. This will balance gameplay when we go beta.
-Tested calculations for quality, gems and plus. All are working properly.
Guild war Mini revamp:
-Guild gates no longer heal every time you open/close them.
-Gates that have been destroyed cannot be closed until the pole changes hands (it will close but has 0 hp)
Fixed buggy guild deletion:
-Guilds delete properly now
Note: you may need to relog. I'll fix that part later though.
Lotto revamp:
-Balanced out the chances of +'s (no longer same chance to get a +8 as it is to get a +1)
-Fixed prize broadcast msgs
-Added chance to win blessed items (1,3,5)
-Lowered chance of sockets
-Lowered chance to get dbs
-Raised chance to win items (chance of winning nothing is lower now)
-Gave armors/headgear a random color when won from lotto
Removed unwanted npcs from market
Adjusted composition costs (past +9)
Adjusted login server
Added voting system on login
-Currently voting will cause it not to pop up for that character for 12 hours. I may convert it to an ip check to reduce annoyance on alt chars... depends how lazy I am though.
-Added small reward for voting (50 guild points)
Removed Nado lockon
Single target spells will no longer auto target characters.
In summary: Pvp has been completely 'revamped' in that there are FAR less damage calculation bugs that were pissing people off. No more 2k+ zaps from trojans, stuff is balanced now.

Bug fixes in last day
-Added buffer to tfb to check where attacked client is when final attack code is executed. This removes the lag hits that cause players to hit when a client has already jumped away
-Added buffer to melee/wep skills: No more laggy long distance hits (yay!)
-Corrected problem where guards were attackable in peace/capture mode
-Added dueling system: Version 1.0 added to server! Complete, npc just needs betting and custom points to be finished. 2.0 will include map checks to make sure players are sent to separate maps from eachother

Features
CoEmu 5095 based source:
Anyone wanting to help test should post here or our forums. Registration is open now so come log on and take a look around. If you are wanting to help develop the server more, let one of us know. We will be happy to accept any help you can provide.
I WILL be looking for staff: Currently not accepting requests. Staff will be chosen from those who do well in the pre-beta testing phase.
Note: I will be looking for decent graphic designers to help with site/client mods. That's not something I'm good at or enjoy.

In case you guys missed the change, this is online now.
Pre-beta will last the next week or two minimum while serious bugs are fixed (seriously... it's amazing how much you miss when it's only you playing). When pre-beta ends there will be a full server wipe and those who had gm before wipe will NOT be getting it back (unless they obtain a staff position... which is determined partially by past performance during the pre-beta phase. Rates during pre-beta will be VERY high (and most people will have pm/gm)
NOTE: To get pm on the server, show up and test and lemme know (without spamming or being an idiot) that you would like to gm test. The only real requirement is not causing problems with other players and speaking decent english/knowing wtf you are doing... this will obviously be removed in beta
Beta is expected to last the next month or two at LEAST while we flesh out full features and add unique stuff to the source. As it is right now there is alot of stuff that needs to be finished. That being said it's still alot better then most of the generic bin servers being thrown around in this section (not pointing fingers ;))
Alpha will start when all added features are stable/finished (doesn't mean server is finished, just means there are no huge gaping holes being patched daily/hourly). Alpha will again tighten the server up a bit and making things a little bit harder to obtain in game (seeing as you will want something to work for lol)
