[Tour] Project Redemption Development Server

[ismokedrow]

Introduction:

Hello, I am Chris. Or as many of you know me 'ismokedrow' I am the Project Lead and Lead Developer of Project Redemption. This whole project is aimed at sharing with the community and providing new and easy ways to adapt and tame an other-wise unfriendly server.

While the project does owe it's roots to the NCarbon Developement Team, it does not hold their values or practices. This project is founded on sharing and will remain that way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What can Project Redemption do for me?

Project Redemption aims to release most if not all of our basic content modifications (with informative instructions on Installation/Usage and how-to guides that will teach you how to modify our releases to meet your servers needs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What does Project Redemption currently offer?

The Redemption server is proud to be the single oldest Rappelz P-Server listed in these forums. Along with this the Redemption Project also has;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-TOE-H
-NDN (Neo Dragons Nest)
--New Obsidikar. (Difficulty: Hardest Field Boss)
-Custom CS Dispersal NPC's (Original concept by Kale)

-

**Disclaimer: Yes Kale did start Project Redemption, yes Kale fixed some things that were not available until the NCarbon 6.1 release and yes Kale created some of the concepts still used today. I do not deny these in the slightest. But as in my signature, Kale no longer actively works for or on the project.**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can I be a part of the Redemption Project?

Redemption is proud of our approach to user input and as such actively seek your opinions and thoughts on any matter relevant to ease of game play and server operations. If you would like to speak to me directly please feel free to join the following Hamachi Room:

Room: ProjectRedemptionDEV
Pass: x4587123asdf86434

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can I be a testers at the Redemption Project?

Currently a few spots have become open on the Redemption server. As I will soon be needing testers to go through the mid levels of content, I am opening a new waiting room in which you can seek a testing spot via pm'ing me in real-time.

Room: ProjectRedemptionApp
Pass: f834m3naem48deh23n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When will the Redemption Server be available publically?

Since I took Lead of Project Redemption, the server has been a 'Developmental' server only. This is however subject to change given the amount of users that want to see this server go public. I am currently in talks with a better host that has offered to take in Redemption. This will only increase our possible user base to a maximum of 100. During this point I will allow everyone to take part in Redemption for a 1 week testing period (Date To-Be-Announced)

During this time I will encourage all testers to contemplate whether a monetary contribution is worth it to you.

This however does not mean I will be allowing contributions with the intent to receive specific in-game items. The contributor will receive the following no matter the amount contributed.

- Donor Title (Customizable)
- Special Donor Only Mount (White Lydian) (Non-Tradeable)
- Special Donor only Cape (Unknown) (Non-Tradeable.)

This money will go specifically and entirely to hosting Redemption for the users.

**Disclaimer: All above information is subject to change.**

Yes with the NCarbon Dev's being immature the need has arisen. I may not be the Super Dev's that they are but you can bet I will bust my hump every day to make a server worth calling your own.

And as with Linux we will remain an open project.

[KeithUrban]

well, ill go ahead and give you a thanks then, as you have shown your a bit more mature then we believed, and you have earned a bit of my respect

well first off, ill say the ah has over 15 dupe methods, which orginnaly began in orginal rappelz

[lilnani]

wow thats great i love it

i have an idea

u can make a limited pet card 170 to help in farm

and u can make npc to sell skill cards +4

[{Gothque}~Erica~]

Now remember I said reasonable ideals. Farming is already easy enough and the Breeder sells at t1-t3 pets. (I will be removing Uni/NM until I have them working. [If you have a list of the Uni/NM skills please pm it to me.])

The NPC's will at most sell Ancient Skill Elements that you can combine with Skill Cubes (Obtained during farming) to have a chance to make Ancient Skill Cubes for use in enchanting your cards.

Remember Lilnani we want to give the game a sense of comfort without making it 'boring' easy.

However I do thank you for your input and really hope the more of the community will step forward and become an active part of this venture.

[lilnani]

The server will be number 1

[KeithUrban]

ismoke, i can hlp you with the list of NM/Uni skills

add me to skype or msn, and ill help you out with that, since i got a lvl 150 uni/nm on official

[ataetgi]

cool

[lawlywood]

You are running the server on linux? Hows that possible? Are you working with mono?

[KeithUrban]

my skype is darkside4125

[kavik11]

Take my word for it. Those mobs aren't as easy as he makes them look. I should know, I was one of the testers quading SL... and the one dieing (Squishy CM is Squishy). Overall its a good dungeon and server and I cannot wait for more updates.

[KeithUrban]

lawly he meant its open source like linux, not that hes running on linux, and it is possible to run it on a emulator on linux

[quadro911]

Only thing that makes me sad is R5 R6 in shops....

Btw AOR had one small thing that you all are missing - infinte JP, maybe somebody will say that this kind of thing is ****, but actually it`s keeping you up, you can test every single skill of your char and make choice between various types of builds instead of farming JP`s....
It`s only my opinion nothing else...

As I said before - good luck on your hard work!

See you in game someday.
