The Edge: Coming Soon

[Secrets]

Hi, i'm Secrets. Some of you might know me from KMRA, me popping in IRC, or by on these forums somehow.

Recently, a friend of mine and myself had this crazy dream. What if we started over with the emulator as a base? What if it wasn't EQ anymore; what if it was completely custom, not having any original EQ zones?

Well, we tried, and succeeded. We've gone over many strides to make this a pretty damn good server that's gonna be there to show you what this client can do at its limits.

We're pushing it to the Edge. The Edge of Existance.

Features:

- Randomly generated NPC textures, by slot or by whole.
- Randomly generated NPC names; never see the same guard again!
- Randomly generated NPC genders + races - again, you probably won't see the same human twice.
- Content up to level 130 (so far, the cap will be 250 on the server.)
- Stat-based gameplay, start at all stats at 1 and fight to earn them. This results in a lot of "hack and slash" gameplay that people like.
- Roamboxes, NPCs will roam in open areas in predefined boxes. It expands upon the grid system that EQEmulator has made, but never implemented #ai roambox into the database.
- Level Cap of 250, with a bug fix for the 87 exp rollover as well as fixed client display issues.
- #stats command, never be left in the dark on your statistics. Shows full information about your character.
- Somewhat of a tutorial I threw together in the starting zone, don't pay attention to it when we're in open beta :P
- Some classes can have multiple pets, at the moment this is only necromancers, when magicians, beastlords, and necromancers get their epic, they receive 2, 2, and 8 pets respectively.
- Spell file is still being worked on. Will be completely serversided and compatable with titanium.
- Titanium compatibility right out of the box.

I'm sure I forgot a few things, but those are a few of our features.

We start open beta... sometime between now and 2 days from now, but I hate to give ETAs... so whenever you see it up, it'll be up :P

Best of luck, and I hope you have a great experience when it comes up.

PS: 2 man team ftw, we did all of the content in a week.
PSPS: binaries took longer :(
PSPSPS: <3 ailia, <3 kingmort, <3 aza77, <3 swish, you guys are all an inspriation.

Yeah, there will be. It is solo/group with a tier boss at this time.


Also, open beta has started. Enjoy.

First major change goes in today. AC items are added in, and weapons are moved over to a new crafting system. Mobs drop coin + loot to assist in crafting items.

Working on that website :)
