I finally present you Shards of Destiny, a soon-to-be-famous Lineage II freeshard.

PTS warning: characters created during PTS will not be retained after official opening. The advertisement may not reflect the actual gameplay during PTS and a number of features may either work, not work or work differently than described during PTS stage.

This server is based on Lineage II engine, but largely deviates the gameplay. The whole Aden continent is divided into zones that can be claimed by two factions at eternal war. Zones are heavily guarded by smarter-than-average guards, who always come for you if/whenever you are in an enemy zone, much like zombie hordes in left 4 dead (except that there are less of zone guards in total so they can be completely killed out). Each faction has a safe base in Gracia continent where various merchants and other support NPCs are stationed. Zones under your faction control, can be easily viewed and accessed using the warpgate at the top of the faction base. Enemy zones may only be accessed by foot; however, each clan may station it's headquarters for a more convenient battlefield access. HQ can be destroyed if found by the enemy, or by force-attacking (if decided to change position).
In addition to the main (endless) storyline, following features are available for players:
Challenges: complete a specific task and enjoy the reward!
Perks: Complete a task or a challenge and enjoy the benefits! There are many to be unlocked and upgraded, however, you only have 3 slots, and each perk fits only into a specific one.
Bounty Hunting: Hate someone? Add some bounty on his head, and enjoy seeing poorer community members swarm over your enemy (or your friend)!
Suicidal attacks: Buy a suicide grenade and perform kamikaze attacks into enemy masses or conjure a cola can to blow up when you die!
Conquest features: install a recovery system to help defenders regain their stamina or add a damage system to burn the intruders. Summon the almighty Zariche to engage the attackers or charge the security network with your energy to deal massive damage to all enemies in zone! Just don't forget, strange things happen if you overload THE SYSTEM!
Showing off: Just keep killing without dying and NPC followers will join you to help you fight and even get you PvP points while doing so!
Gambling: Tired of mass PvP? Want to try your luck? The gambling system is here to help you spend your hard-earned adena convert your luck to valuable in-game items! And if you find yourself lucky enough to obtain a "Coin of Luck", you can test your luck even further, obtaining exclusive S grade masterwork items...
Boss raiding: Yes, it is included. Aside from mass PvP, it's something that makes Lineage II worth playing!
A ton of others: oh yeah sweetie, it doesn't end here.

Just wanna ask, coz damnit this whole thing is proper good coding and stuff, what pack are you using?

Btw, omfg I love the perks feature lol. And the killstreaks Please oh please tell me that all this stuff works coz this will be the damn best pvp server ever ever ever ever ever lol if its true.

Takes all the good stuff from fps(i.e constant fighting) and mixes it with mmorpg

Well I'm currently using L2jFree (savormix is one of the main L2jFree team's developers) - server developers me and savormix - ,which is obviously a highly modified version of it. We do however committ all of our fixes and such to L2jFree.

Yes all the features are working. Minor bugs and adjustments have to be done but that's why we're in a open beta stage.
L2jFree is without doubt the best pack, but I don't want to start such discussions since they would last forever, and SoD is the main subject of focus on this thread. Just a side note: L2jFree will soon release the 1.3.0 pack (which is a nearly retail version of Gracia Final with nearly no missing features) and then move to Epilogue.

@Amrx- You have no idea about the tons of features we haven't posted there (I confess, we're lazy in what concerns the site) which are present in the Server.

Hope you enjoy SoD, feel free to wander in the forums.

Join this server guys! It'll be a blasty blast

The whole thing looks rly promising, good ideas you got there. I hope you'll be blessed with many online.

Oh, there's 1 thing - on the site's banner you have your name writen Shards of desNtiny. Good luck.

@tigerius Yes we noticed that and the main site's logo also has to be replaced. But we have no photoshop artist at the moment, will fix it later.

Server goes live next week (monday)!

Launch Date: 06-09-2010

Sincerely,

Horus.
