Good luck buddy.

Thank you inkblot!

No problem buddy.

Hey Herlitz, get in here, he is trying again and needs our bumping help.

/bump

When trying to create an account I get Warning : Undefined array key "key" in /var/www/html/ucp/engine/create_account.php on line 14 {"msg":"","act":"SESSION","url":".\/?page=register","debit":0}

error.
For expedience sake just create an account for me and pm it here. I am not installing DISCORD. Love the intro screen looks really sweet. Oh and it works on windows 7.

Just realized, even with an account it states that no movement is allowed till Nov20th.

Just a small question.


Why the hell would I create an account now, when I cant play till NOV 20th? I will not wait that long to play. I want to play now. Besides you had a server before. Except for a few tweaks and setting changes. WTH is the difference between the old emberfall and the new?

Consider my request revoked and your software deleted.

Shame too, wanted to see how it looked.

You could have ran a beta test at least. When I want to play on a server I want to see it NOW. Not next week, month etc etc. NOW.

I tested and eveyrthing works fine!account creation is working normal!you can use account test12345 pass:12345 and beta is open .You can log in and test.

Wow. Ur geodata is a tad odd. I keep getting stuck near trees and entrances to building. Also your newbie guide is buggy. Kept telling me I could get buffs, but when I went I had to make it to level 9. Etc etc And no auto pickup?

The slow movement is torture enough, but no auto pickup. The way you have this server setup, if you do not get a ton of new players who play together, you will find people leaving in droves. Not to many hard hard core people out there any more.

Love the interface, although not used to the inventory map, the armor and jewels are all wrong, but thats a personal issue.

Thanx for letting me test it. But its a dead duck. And ur account creation process does not work for me.

Newbie guide start gives buffs from 8 lvl .what do you mean is buged?And why armors and weapons are wrong?what is wrong with them?

I am spoiled by servers that have faster movement and auto pickup. But when you are moving at turtle speeds walking back to town to get newbie buffs and you dont, it is rather frustrating. Twice I had a popup telling me I could get buffs and twice I walked back and nothing. Second time was my fault cause I had been told that I had to be 8 or 9.

And damn ur grass is tall in some places. Little monsters hiding in tall grass was funny. But ya this is a java server, I only play on my own, with tweaked settings. You will have a big problem populating your server.

Hard core servers are nice, but they require people. Lots of people. You tried this before and did not succeed. I dont think you learned your lesson yet.

Anyway, good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to actually try the server and give feedback.

I understand what you mean about movement speed and auto pickup. Those are intentional choices because I want to keep the server closer to the classic Interlude feeling rather than turning it into another heavily modified server.Regarding population, I know that this type of server needs players to work properly. The previous opening didn't succeed, that's true, but this reopening is not simply the same server launched again. I've changed quite a few things and removed donations completely, so I want to give the project another proper attempt.

I don't expect everyone to like a slower, more classic server, but that's the direction I'm trying to follow.

Thanks again for testing it and for the honest feedback.

Anytime. Just keep in mind what it takes to succeed on a server like yours if you dont get the population. You need a spoiler, crafter and buffer. If your population is too low. Not too many people want to grind 3 or 4 toons to Level 60+ just so they can play without dying.

Also, what killed L2 in NA, was the grind. The infiltration of bots that NCsoft created and did nothing about.
People over here wanted to Play a game, not have to work at a game.

Plus your NPC population is very sparse. Some simple quests will take forever because the drop count is too low and the Mob population is not there.

Just imagine 4 orcs or dwarves doing the pet quest. Think about it.

To get an idea of how hard your server really is, play as a normal player. Level your character up to say 40 plus do the quests. See what kinda C gear and shots you have then. No cheating. no //admin or //gmshop

And that is how it will be for anyone who cannot get a party. It will be like going to work every time they log in. The population of servers today is nowhere near what NCsoft had. So you cannot expect the same.


Lol, love your orc in full Blue Wolf armor and Full B grade jewels. No way you got those honestly. But those beginner claws that was funny.

Also clean up your forum. You have so many opening dates listed that its rather confusing or looks shady as shit.

Good luck

I understand your point, but I have actually tested the server properly as a normal player, and I have played on many low-rate servers over the years.

The quests and mob population are fine as they are. I have tested the progression myself, and during the previous opening players progressed normally and even reached A-grade equipment without any special help.

Of course, this is a low-rate server, so progression is supposed to take effort. I don't want to turn it into a fast/custom server just because some players are used to auto pickup, increased movement speed or easier progression.

I respect that this style is not for everyone, but the difficulty and progression are intentional.

You are right about the old opening dates on the forum though. I will clean those up so there is no confusion.

Thanks again for taking the time to test it.

Then how did your orc get B grade?

Also when I approach any door at an angle I get stuck. This happens around trees and other objects in the wild.

I respect your approach, it makes sense, you have no endgame. Once players hit max, you cant like NCSoft add new chapters. That alone will screw you. So you are counting on the long game, slow and steady.

But for that you need players, lots of players, I would guesstimate around 600-800 and out of those you need at least 200 online playing daily.

This game was designed for multiple players to form parties and work together. Without that all you have is a solo grind till you get tired of it.

Log on to some other popular servers and then speak to admins, see what worked for them and what didn't. Region is also important.

The map was kinda cool, seeing the English land marks with I would guess Russian underneath?

Ultimately you are creating a server for the player, not you. If you cant see that you are bound to fail.

The Orc got B-grade from the test merchant because this is a beta test. That's exactly what beta testing is for — testing different grades, mobs, areas and mechanics without spending days farming every single item first.

That has nothing to do with the normal player progression on the live server.

I appreciate useful bug reports, like the collision issue around doors and objects, and I will check those. But judging the server's progression based on a beta test character wearing test gear doesn't really make sense.

I also understand your opinion about population and server design, but not every low-rate server has to become faster or easier to suit every player. The server has a specific concept, and the beta is there to test whether that concept works as intended.
