Private server worth to start with?

Hey guys.
Checking few private servers and researching this forum this what I found:

1. 9ds. Looks nice server, with just 20 ppl on board (online), and saw a comment that it is not a best server in terms of security (500 nukes per sec?)

2. Eclipse. Looks like GM don't want server to be found. Tried all websites (fb, discord links which never worked, forum and website with no proper and updated information) and didn't even get how to login to a game

3. Windy. Install, login. All nice and tight. But... All VN. Asked on their fb page and in pm few times, was some answers but didn't get how to translate it to English.

Can anyone comment what do I miss, and/or any updates with upcoming servers/projects worth to wait?

Just want working client server with some active people there and a hope for updates / security.

Cheers.

IIRC you need to copy over the DB_XSD file of your choice so the DB_US_XSD to the Data/Scripts folder with the same name as the file name in the Windy client but due to encoding/decoding, you will need the keys or you will be stuck with ????????? instead of any ascii.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is the website for Eclipse. You'll need to register and download the client. I don't know if they're even online as there are talks of patching and database backups.

New Dawn is our upcoming project split into two parts, 0.5 and 1.0. 0.5 Will be a temporary project to gauge community interest and provide a really unique but fun experience which launches this Winter. 1.0 launches the following year and will work on custom and more relevant content.

At Windys client it is a few language files.
I've tried to swap with all of them 1 by 1, or all together.
There were no changes, and when I replace 1 of them client didn't start.

Eclipse - there were too many manipulations to get client work, but still I didn't get how to run it :), for example even at Windy VN web, I easily found all necessary information, and when I have done, the client was ready to go.

Will be waiting for your project, cause I really don't like RF, with their (correct me if I'm wrong) lowed down lvl and kungfu exp ratings. Really pushing for p2w, where im ok to spent some money to support devs, but not when it costs more than average new MMORPG nowadays xD

And thank you for answer :)

Well, these 500 nukes per second are on every server I've tried so far. If Eclipse's website is not working for you, that means you got firewalled at the time Mardu has thought every account and IP was mine. So yeah, you may have some problems with it.

1. 9DS has < 20 people online, and most of them are AFKing for gifts. Maps are empty.

2. Eclipse is getting down every now and then because of "precautions" and "security".

3. Didn't check Windy's file, it's probably 2013 client, so you can play with XSD editor and change the encryption keys of the files. You can find how to do it in XSD thread, help yourself.

To be completely honest with you, I'd rather play the official RedFox version. The exp is just fine, I helped my friend to plvl him to HG in a few hours. The only issue is p2w in PvP, but as long as you farm a bit, everything is doable there. At least they don't sale endgame items in IM for $20 per piece... ;)

I have to agree with you. I really hope our project and the ideas we have will become reality one day and not just empty words and promises.

Thanks guys for fast and honest feedbacks.
Will be waiting for upcoming projects.
Feels like ill pass the time in RF now, and HOTS :)
The only few more questions for me if im coming back to MacBook, or moving to China for a contract again, what will i do...
In that matters, i think ill save my old laptop just for 9D lol,
but playing in China is another shit, you know, with all their firewalls...

P.S. post more here about new projects, it is always nice to know is it coming, to feed your hope for the best :)

Hi,
Copy NDTEXTDB_US.XSD from 9D ENG version to 9dwindy/data/script, But it is incorrect 100%
We hope happiness comes to u at 9dwindy.net
