We are happy to announce that a week after launch, we hit another player's online record of 200 players (without MC and macros!).
We are not updating this thread anymore, but feel free to join our thread in the Server Gala, here: [CANADA][CUSTOM] Darkrest Online (https://otland.net/threads/canada-custom-darkrest-online.286207)

This project is made in tfs 1.4 correct? Or what about Niki's 1.5? I will test it today!!

Specifying our engine is hard, as we use an engine built by smashing two engines together and editing to support multithreading.

I'm having a lot of fun on this ot!
