[Release]Project Throwback - A Classic Experience

Project Throwback is a Classic server(By classic we refer to the game play style, not the client version.) At the moment it's hosted on a VPS in Chicago.

We're looking to get a good community going. It's a work in progress but we're looking to bring back the old days. During the beta stage, we would appreciate some constructive feed back and testers for possible bugs, missing things, etc.

Project Throwback is a 5017 based source, coded from scratch from the ground up.

This server has really low rates, and donations when accepted will be in the form of Db's ONLY, so if your looking for hand outs, etc. It's probably best you choose another server. We're looking for people who enjoyed the old school form of play, as we're looking to re-create it.

If you think your ready for a challenge, and think you might enjoy the server. Check us out!

Have any questions? Feel free to ask away.

Thanks for checking out the post.

Yupp yupp. The server will be COMPLETELY 1.0, nothing more, nothing less. Later on down the line we may add quests and things like that to keep people interested. Maybe even some other little events, but always will maintain a true "1.0" server. So if thats what ur into. Come check us out.

Couple of things i think i need to point out:

1st: 5017 is 2.0 - there's no escaping that.
2nd: Your website crashes the firefox alpha client.
3rd: Your website doesnt display correctly on IE 9.

There aren't many packet changes from 1.0 to 5017... Just a few additions.

eh, 5017 looks a little better, and is still classic in my opinion. No tali spots, still old style of composing windows, etc. Don't really matter if its 4267 or 5017 does it? Just matters if when ur playing. Its legit and can only do/cant do things from 1.0 as well as having the same jump style etc.

Not really, but there's some packet filler if you're not using the 5017 features... Hell, there's packet filler in 4267 even, so nevermind.

When I say "Classic" I refer to the game play, not the version of the client.
I assume when you say 1.0 you mean the same thing, seeing as how L2H "1.0" is on a 5095 client.(Reguardless of what is or is not to come in the future.)

As far as the second and third issues, I'll look into them.
