Are there really people who still want to feel like they are playing on 0.25x speed while on acid? Back in the day of classic AL (2007), most MMO games were like this but now 20 years later why the **** would someone want to play like that ? lmao

Hello there !

I understand where your reaction is coming from today’s MMO landscape is built around fast paced progression, instant gratification, and “finish everything in a week” design. But a low rate Archlord Episode 3 server is built on a completely different philosophy, one that a certain group of players genuinely prefers.

A low rate environment recreates the original pace and economy of classic AL, where items retained real value, trading mattered, progression felt earned, and players interacted far more because resources weren’t handed out for free. The intent isn’t to slow players down for the sake of it, but to preserve the strategic flow of Episode 3: farming, party synergy, drops that mean something, and a world where equipment actually circulates through the player driven economy rather than being injected endlessly by NPCs or cash shops.

On this server, weekend events, boosted rates, and special rotations exist precisely to give structured progression spikes without breaking the long term balance. The result is an ecosystem that rewards dedication, cooperation, and smart trading the same qualities that defined Archlord’s golden days.

Of course, not every game style suits every player, and that’s perfectly fine. If you’re looking for modern 2025 era MMOs with rapid leveling, auto-systems, and streamlined gearing, those doors are wide open there’s an entire market filled with titles built exactly for that experience. But this project is aimed at people who want the slower, deliberate pacing and classical economy that made Episode 3 memorable.

If that isn’t your preferred style, no hard feelings better to spend your time somewhere you truly enjoy. But for those who appreciate that old school Archlord feeling, this server is built precisely for them.

make all rates to 0.10x for guaranty cancer please LOL

[alplayers]

few more suggestions from my side to make the game more challenging:
1. mobs drop unique pieces instead of uniques and you must combine 10 pieces to make a single unique ring/necklace
2. old pvp system where you can drop equipped items on death
3. remove 70+ mobs so players have no options but to complete quests to reach lv 99
4. add durability to rings/necks too but repairing is much more expensive
5. if you die, your pet dies too (good old pokemon nuzlocke experience)

1. Maybe would be posible as a quality game improovements but not so fast as i intend to do it
2.Old system would be
3.To much custom we wana keep it much original
4..... for the moment i cant offer you an reply about this suggestion
5.Interesting , need to think about it

A vanilla (old-school) server is not about rushing to max level as fast as possible.
It’s about:

• slow, meaningful progression
• valuing gear, drops, and class balance
• PvP and economy that actually matter
• long-term gameplay, not instant gratification

1x rates do NOT mean you can’t progress.

Progress still comes from:

• party play
• quests
• PvP
• events
• smart grinding spots

The difference is that your progress has value.
Levels, items, and achievements mean something because they aren’t handed out for free.

If you want instant max level, that’s fine high rate servers exist for that.
But calling 1x “bad” just because it’s slower completely misses the point of a vanilla experience.

Next time, maybe be sarcastic in your own fast rate threads not under a discussion clearly about a vanilla / old-school server.

“0.10x = cancer” jokes don’t add anything meaningful.
You just show a focus on instant rewards, not actual gameplay.

This isn’t a speedrun server.
It’s a long term progression server.

1. I was being sarcastic
2. I REAAAAAAAAALY want to see how exactly will this server be so special in a way that my progress actually has value ???? Like when I progress from level 55 to 63 (knowing the server rates, it will surely take me couple of days) and I'm able to wear level 63 elite armor which gives me +2 more defense in comparison to the current one, how will this progress give so much value ??? how will farming for shuta for 2 weeks and getting lilith 0/1 give me so much value?? Like I really want to know what makes this server so special that it worths investing my time?? Does this also mean that 1 hour on this server gives me more value than playing 1 hour on some other server?? Enlighten me please, I am really curious

even less than 3 months I'd say. while I was playing on archonia yesterday, it occurred to me just how much QoL features this modern AL client has: tradeable CC, custom drop colors, sell all button, toggle exp on/off, some CC items on merchant, boss spawn timers, custom quests, storable realms/uniques, removed useless items etc etc and a lot of players got used to these features.

this old client won't have any of these + combine that with low exp and drop and you get a really unpleasant AL experience

I mean, not all QoL features need to be present on most servers, especially when you want to go back to the roots/vanilla.
That being said, some stuff is crucial as it should've been in the game by default such as trading CC, distinguishable loot names on the ground, bigger inventory size, bigger stack size of most items.

After playing on some test servers or newly made servers, I felt it is urgently required to have the option to turn off exp.
We're not in the days when you did “burner” accounts for farming uniques or getting the exp bar back to 0 with dying a hundred times.

Custom stuff on AL, well QoL yes, other stuff? Nothing I would play.
I had my fair share with bootleg realms custom added in ep2 servers 10+ years ago.

Not sure why everyone tries to invent the wheel again.

Get a server with the episode you like (preferably EP 3 CM/WZ up to Heaven's Hell). Add essential QoL features, make ways to obtain CC items (or better the CC currency itself) without spending real money, don't get greedy and try to make a living off a game that is off the market for over a decade.

Apply that formula and people will come. At least that what I would like and a couple of my friends from back in the day. I surely can't speak for the AL community as a whole.

Server launch today at the middle night 00:00 GMT +2

Dont forget to register and join the fun !

[Rosalinda]

lol that rate... hahaha

[alplayers]

Tried it yesterday. It's a torture. Forced myself to play it for 20 mins, then I closed it. Atleast it's quiet since the server is almost empty

[NPC-Zian]

ChantraLegacy and al3css are the same person, and he dares to come here and praise himself…
Then he’ll say the server exists for nostalgia, but that’s a lie…
Because he clearly made sure to set up CC and donations first, that’s obvious.

There are price inconsistencies, for example Normal Lens are free up to level 30.
Level 1 Reward: 500 Lens and 3 Combi (in CC)
Level 10 Reward: 700 Lens??? Let me remind you that you can still get 5k Lens for free… so the LevelUpReward is completely useless.
Lens+ = 50 CC / Combi = 50 CC
Lens Merchant: Normal Lens = 750k & Combi = 500k
(and normal Lens are even more expensive in gold)

Lucky Charm doesn’t work, I tested it for a whole day.
TOA 30/60 min only exist to justify the price of the 1‑day TOA.
STOA 50% XP & 20% gold = 2100 CC
TTOA 50% XP = 700 CC

The drop rate is really weird. I spent a whole day on brown mobs and got 0 unique/elite armor. Stone drops are bugged. I go on normal mobs and a few uniques drop (5 in 3 days). He modified the unique drop rates on monsters…
It’s hilarious to be level 20+ wearing a pathetic level 7 armor.

When I discover a server, I always test admin commands and name‑related bugs, because there’s no point staying on a server that isn’t safe at all…
Turns out that at launch, admin commands were enabled, and there was also the famous account: test/test.
al3css thought I was stupid and didn’t know he could see when someone used admin commands, but he decided otherwise. He expected me to PM him everywhere within 5 minutes to tell him about this issue. Except I have a baby, and dealing with crying and running back and forth isn’t exactly easy.
Anyway, I contacted him after seeing my ban. I showed him that admin commands did work even though he insisted they didn’t.
(He said I was a Chinese account and that I injected DLLs, that the game economy was compromised… the server had been up for 2 hours, ridiculous.)

If I hadn’t shown him, he wouldn’t have fixed the issue because he didn’t even know where it came from.
Anyway, the next day I found out I was banned from the Discord server.

So yeah, just another server — and of course from Al3css — who claims he’s not here to make money, yet the Chantra Shop was configured before anything actually important.

I'm posting this here so he can't delete it
