Hey bud, glad to see your adding another server to the mix. Interesting that assassins have been removed, was this on a players request or just to balance things out?

Also are we talking x1 exp like euro rates?

great news will play! two easy questions boss...

1. Low rate numbers on items jamie? eg , dc +20 weapons or dc +200 weapons?

2. Mir3 you have 15 chances/levels to refine weapon, then master refine which can add+5, will this be as normal? (remind me another option smelt stone?)

It's not exactly Euro Rate, I was happy with the speed of Zircon until about 40, at which is will slow down until 50, then slow down significantly more as people will have their skills.

1 and 2) -> There's a 25% Chance to break your weapon on a failed master refine, this should keep the High values low.

Sins are ****, they're **** on mir2 and I'd assume from this decision, they're **** on mir3 too.
That's my opinion however, some will disagree as it's their opinion.

Sounds really good!
A lot of changes to warrant the new release, as well as quests, which has peaked my interest (I like to have something to do with the mind numbing grinding of areas).
Having it a lower rate as well will be a lot more interesting.
Just a question in general, the donations from previous purchases, will they be given as HG or GG?

Best of luck!

Woah Woah Woah don't be asking questions like that Light!! I don't want someone starting with 20k gg they bought already xD

On a more serious note though Jamie, will it be a similar opening to the current Zircon? I remember being so hyped to get on the server when it opened but was so frustrated at having trouble with regular omas and yetis in BW at lvl 10, while someone at the same level was already lvling in a half decent cave as they had so many more stats.

I get your going to get an advantage being a donator but I don't think I managed to get all of the buffs for a few weeks, by then I was way behind.

p.s not looking to start a cry thread here - just a genuine question xD

Good too see you back mate.


Any chance Saphire is coming ? If so i'll most likely give this a miss, if it's not coming would happily play this though. I enjoyed Zircon until the Damage got out of hand.

Sounds pretty good, bold decisions on the Assassin Class I love the class but it's balance always seem too wonky on most servers so a server without it might be a nice change. Mind if I ask a few questions.


1. Are you planning on creating new content?

2. If so will the new items scale more slowly than on Original Zircon?

3. How much slower would you say it is compared to ZenX or Original Zircon?

4. Are warriors like they were on Zircon or have they received some balancing changes? (IMO as a player from Zircon warriors were behind most classes by a significant margin only exception was people is best gear who were extremely skilled though this was largely due to no CC and beckon being disabled on majority of the maps).

5. Did pigs receive any changes to the expanded skills?

No where on this post does Jamie confirm any of these questions. He just covers some of the changes he has done so far none of which cover what I have asked.

Other than maybe question 3. where is information is vague so I asked for a comparison. I don't mind being called out on things if there already listed but there not so please get your facts right first before quoting my comments as already been answered when they haven't.

Interesting.

Enjoyed Zircon in the early days. Got a bit out of hand with all the crazy stats and Weapon refines/Orbs.
Meant if you didn't get a lucky roll you had no chance of hunting solo in areas that others were dominating.

As a solo/casual player it's important to me that I can hunt in the areas that others can. Not expecting to do the same damage etc as the hard core players but at least steadily able to hunt there!

Might give it a bash

Sapphire is not being worked on at the moment, my focus is this server.

They will receive it as game gold, but I doubt anyone will have a significant amount.

I am fairly certain the low level mobs have been rebalance since then, so you should have an easier time.

With the addition of quests (Currently 77) it should be an easier time to get to places.

1) I am not planning any new content at the moment, I need to see how the server grows before I know what I can add.

3) I want the server to be relatively easy going until 40 where is slows down, and then much slower at 50 where people have their skills.

4) I am more concerned at how far ahead warriors are at the moment, not how far behind they are ;)

This is what I want to avoid. (Crazy stats)
