Found this on hopzone.net

Been on for a month. Empty. Retail-like, with auto-pickup.

Latin-american server and website, but with english dialogues in game.

Not sure if this is a open beta, or ordinairy server... Highest player count during my three short visits are four players. No lag or delay, everything seems ok.

Update:

Server is still online, and I'm still only player those moments I log in (community server is online). Looks like many HB servers are in planning. This one can be useful in order to get a feel of the chronicle, and for testing your client. Only custom NPC is event manager and donation NPC. Very retail-like.

The "Blue Gemstone"-quest didn't work on my human fighter, and that left me without shots and travel tokens. In HB, you must pay for porting from day one, in order to reach Giran on a new char without massive farming, check out the "Giran escape scroll" quests in all starter towns.

If more joined, this could be a viable alternative while waiting for something european.

Will you play there? I lack a server atm and I do not know what to do ! lol
I kinda want to play there but with no ppl and the fact that in HB you should do 2nd class quests lets me off.

Same for me. The fact that there is no shops in Giran worries me. Don't even know if offline shops works. Will maybe raise an artisan this weekend and set up craft for SSD. Anyway, don't have much time for this during summer. Will not play much, but don't have any other alternative. Maybe we'll meet

Update 2:

Offline shops DON'T work, at least not by just logging out. Doubt that I'll spend time here untill someone explain how to do this. Not good at this lingo....

dont play on shity servers... better wait for max .. if they start it bcoz there are some problems but dont play on shit/br uy or what ever servers

Well, I`ll probably wait for something different. But please keep me updated on your activity on this HB server. I might reconsider my decision!
