Re-Opening my Server - Soulless - 02-02-2013 09:47 AM

Hello Everyone Bye

,

I'm re-opening my server this February, It is my intent to get it back to the average client connection i had in its early stages when i was but a young shard owner. I had 250 players on at its peak, and an average of 70-120 players on at any given time. This was all word of mouth and UOgateway that allowed this. I was wondering what everyone's input would be to get the largest player base possible, and advertise to the biggest crowd. within 2 weeks i intend on being live and well advertised with a fully functional website (unfortunately i can not provide a link since i'm waiting for the hosting setup to complete). I've got a new dedicated server computer on the way and a line that should be sufficient for the begining stages of a shard. I will post pictures of my projects when i return home tonight. I have fully committed myself to this shard this year and hope to get some positive feedback in the early stages of its grand opening. Is anyone else going live this year? let's kick some ass and give the world some badass SphereServers.

P.S. I'm preparing for my shard by growing my beard out to unreasonable lengths, eating nothing but lumber for 2 weeks, and i knocked a polar bear unconscious last night. Hopefully i'm ready for the awesomeness of it all. Woot

Love

@Darksun, i'm using tags. once they begin a skill it tags the skill on their char unless its already there, then on=@skillgain it adds exp , then when you level up it raises the amount needed to level up. each skill level up gives you 1/5 chance of gaining the primary or secondary stat of that skill, and +10 in that skill.

i wanted to make it so the level wasn't an arbitrary number that didn't reflect on the character
all skills/crafting/kill exp also goes to the total overall level of the character. so when you look at a character level 2, you can expect him to have a few skills going, level 4 you can expect a guy whos got maybe a some gm skills and has spent some time in dungeons, level 10 you can expect a character of 7gm skills on an osi server who's got some good gear.

@Nautilus
Thanks Nautilus, i got your private message as well, i'll respond to ya here shortly about that. and yes i am chuck norris Smile

not a lot of people on here know the truth but yeah, its me.

Thanks Htid4life! it'll be fun to see the reception it gets and work with players to smooth out any unforseen issues. a lot of the systems have had testing in previous verisons of the server, so i dont think there will be too many major issues.
