Hi, due to lack of good servers to play (people using tq binaries or leeched an unstable server, or are immature or many other reasons).

This server will be closed source, last time it was open source nobody contributed anyway.

It's currently written in Java and is a single threaded game server with a multithreaded network framework (apache mina). Once i get most content down and get the server in a very stable condition i'll be multithreading this and performing many other optimizations to ensure lowest ping, high stability and other goodies.

I pulled out what i had done awhile ago (which was further than the revision i had in the google code subversion) and it's got some basics but had quite a lot of bugs that i never bothered to fix. I also have an NPC scripter on board with me to do all the npcs so my progress will be quite fast. I expect a beta early December and an official launch just before Christmas.

Whats your aim?
For a stable server that's free to play, no 'buying' your way through the game, and content a little past classic. (2.0 interface, no ninjas/shoppingmall/potency/talismans)

Leveling XP rates will be the same as conquer.
Drop rates will be increased by about 5x
PICKING UP DROPS IS THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN ITEMS.

The aim of this server is to create a server that i would play my self, i'm sure many others will too.

Client Version is 5017
