Yea I suggested it but they wont implement and the reason he wont is because of some animation the creators disliked.
To me the new jump looks like you are on speed and it ruins the fun for me.

My review of this so called server:

Old jump is the least of this servers worries, It is overrun by donators that the owner biastly gives/sells items too while telling others he doesn't because they give him rediculous amounts of cash and while the donators get crazy OP they also feel the need to still exploit bugs in the server anyway to get even more greedy then ya have the other free foreign players such as the egys all duplicating items and exploiting bugs and getting full 2 sock gear in 1-2 days and they aren't banned or anything. Then ya have the compounded issue with botters and nothing is done about it because the owner ALLOWS BOTS! That's right he doesn't care or do anything about it. And if that doesn't make you want to steer clear of this garbage server just know that for a measly $200 usd donation or more you can get gm powers on the server too! So ya have about 5-6 donating gms abusing there power daily to better there situation as a character while trying to dominate the server by acting like douchebags. And the owner is so greedy he runs the server off his home pc not a real server that lags like **** most of the day and it needs constant reboots every couple hours because stamina and xpskills stop working and mobs get all bugged. it is just a **** poor coded server being run by a **** poor owner/coder that rather then fix the server is more worried about getting his money while letting his server be overrun with cheaters and botters. Don't waste your time on this server trust me.

Lol exactly what i posted 3 days ago but the post somehow disapeared?

At the start was a great low rate server but Serenity must be on crack if he needs this many donations.

Stay well clear.

In reply to "Tw3ek"'s post:
I find your wall of text hard to reply too.

Donations:
By overrun by donators you mean Kirito?
Everything in this post about donators is aimed at one or two people, not the whole server. Most people donated a few bucks and get a few DB's worth of CP.
But YEAH if you donate A LOT you get A LOT. That goes for ANY SERVER. There are only a few cases of this, most people have earned their 2 sock gear without donating much if at all.
I never expected to get the number of donations that I did, but I don't think I give unfair rewards.
In a perfect world there wouldn't be donations. But fact is it costs money to run a Private Server.
We will be opening a second server that caters more to people that do not donate and people that enjoy a challenge.

Egyptions:
The Egyptians hacking and duping items haven't been dealt with huh?
That's weird because I remember banning all the hackers and the entire country of Egypt from registering.

Botters:
On paper I allow bots, yes. I don't care if people bot because I was once a botter, and I think people learn more setting up a bot then they do playing conquer. Instead of banning people for botting, I put in a player radar system that people can use to hunt down botters and the botters quickly gave up.

People getting GM powers:
No ordinary player gets GM powers, not even for donating. The server has a player voted Event Manager system that allows PLAYERS to vote for OTHER PLAYERS and also vote to REMOVE the powers from other players.
Event Managers have the ability to host PvP tournys and other events and a few other commands to aid new players.

Server Computer:
You really think all those other P-Servers paying someone 20 bucks a month to host their server on 1/1000th of a PC is better than my dedicated server?
Lol.

Stamina and XP skill problem was fixed a long time ago, as were all the other exploits.

I hope I covered all the topics in the wall of text, as I do not feel like re-reading it.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the server, but the vast majority do seem to enjoy it. As usual the people posting are the haters while the people having fun are busy having fun.

My review of Serenity CO:
One of the better classic servers out there. Needs more players.

Not too slow, not too fast.
You get the feeling of having earned all the stuff you acquire but you don't have to grind for a year to get there.
Sticks to the original layout set fourth by Conquer 1.0 regarding classes and gear and maintains the nostalgia while at the same time improving game by adding more content like bosses and quests.
In my opinion this is the direction real conquer should have taken rather than adding new classes and game breaking systems like Talismans and throwing the entire game off balance.
This is one of the most complete feeling Private Servers I've ever played on.
You can tell a lot of work went into making the game feel polished. You'd be hard pressed to find a typo on NPC Dialog. (which bugs the hell out of me on other servers. If the dev can't even spell how can he run a server?) The background music chosen matches WAY better than the original conquer music. (and is much less annoying)
The devs have thought of very creative systems I have yet to see on any other conquer p-server.
Heres a few:
a HITMAN quest where an NPC gives you a contract to take out a hit on another random player and pays you for PKing them. AWESOME.
Guild fund gets used directly by all guild members to give everyone in the guild Bonus EXP.
AWESOME.
Want to know where someone is at? Type /whereis *the players name* and it will tell you EXACTLY where they are. (unless they have decided to hide themselves with another command.)
AWESOME.
And one thing that is important to me is it LOOKS GREAT!
The new maps are beautiful. Its like running around on a Chinese painting.
The cherry blossoms falling from the sky are a great touch as well.

The non In-game stuff:
People complain about donators getting unfair treatment but getting really good gear yourself without donating is not really that hard... and I donated a bit and I didn't get max gear given to me so idk what that guy was talking about.
The server is for the most part lag free (for me anyway, living semi-near the server host location) and any bugs or exploits found are usually fixed quickly by GMs.

In Conclusion:
This server has so much potential, the only thing it seems to be lacking is a large playerbase. (At least the players it does have are cool and speak english.)
I encourage anyone who's looking for a server that brings Conquer back to the way it was in the good ol' days, or just looking for a cool place to get online and chill with people from around the world, check this server out.

Thats what I call a review. We need more guys like you on epvp!

[SerenityCO]

We did a network hardware upgrade and got issued a new static IP so there is a new update available on the website.

Only the download for the client on the downloads page has the newest client and older links like yuki's won't let you login unless you patch with the patch also located on the downloads page.

[arniz]

when you will fix the ping on new server?

[SerenityCO]

It's fixed now. Not sure what was up that first night.
