Hello everyone. Some months ago, after the seeming death of the woool scene here I decided to see what the remaining options were in terms of getting a server going. As some of you might know, getting quality + up to date files that are translatable is near impossible. And then there's dealing with the Chinese. In any case, we settled on the 1.8.3 server files and the server is now running.
We've greatly improved, enhanced and added features to these server files. While they first were a complete mess, riddled with bugs, etc. they're now in much much better state.
The game should be (as good as) completely translated. We used the DSM files as a reference point but anything currently relevant to the game has been redone. Proper English, text will now actually stay within the borders of NPC dialogue windows, etc.
Some severe bugs that have been fixed (among others)
-Spellcasting animations will no longer display incorrectly
-Benediction Oils chances have been fixed, getting a luck +10 weapon was incredibly easy at first
-Skills were a mess, pretty much none of them worked correctly; now most work as intended
-Level requirements for skills/spells are functional again
-Bag and body drops now work correctly
-Pet AI doesn't break anymore when players go offscreen
And this is just a small part of what's been fixed. Features that have been added include slow/snare through wizard ice spells, new npcs and extended serverside scripting functionality.
In terms of XP rate, our server is definitely not a 'High Rate' server where you've seen the highest level dungeon within three days of play. While it's not as slow as the original, you won't rush through the lower levels with ease. As we gain access to more content and newer versions, the xp rate will be adjusted upwards. Same goes for monster drops.
And last, but not least, we place a big emphasis on PK/pvp. As I mentioned before, body drops are now working as intended (as opposed to being completely bugged before and almost never occuring)
and so are bagdrops. There is a last man standing arena, and many other PVP/PK features will be included in the future.
We're now in a sort of open beta stage, and I invite everyone from LOMCN to come and test out the game. Hope to see you there.
