Evonia - 8.6 Oldschool Evolution [Showoff]

[MrMax]

Hi everyone, and welcome to my showoff thread.

I’ve been working on my project, Evonia, for longer than I’d like to admit, and I think it’s finally time to share some of my work.

I got tired of “cash-grab” evolution servers that advertise themselves as 8.6 but include 90%+ newer sprites, items, mounts, and other additions. So a long time ago I decided to try building a truly oldschool evolution server that:

• works even on the CipSoft 8.6 client
• uses mostly up to 8.6 sprites
• aims for balanced, fair gameplay
• is playable without donations

Without further talk, here are some map pieces. I hope you enjoy the classic 8.6 look.
Lets start with a temple:

Quest Room:

Cathedral:

Library:

The server will have all four guilds for every vocation. Here they are:
Knights:

Paladins:

Druids:

Sorcerers:

Amazon Tower:

Lost City:

Dragon mountain:

Evonia is getting new teleport room and since its bigger (over 80 spawns) and over multiple floors, its getting a new feature where every player can choose its spawn point inside the TP room.. That way players don't need to walk the whole distance to the endgame monsters.
Here are top floors and their design.

Enterance and first monsters before facing the first Dragons.


The white teleport squares all over the TP room that can be set as a spawn point.


All four Massive Elementals will have unique drop, needed to learn new spells.

Everyones favourite monsters will have multiple spawns and of course will be bigger in size to accommodate more people.


One eye candy, and many more to come...

The temple overhaul was needed to properly separate the temple from the depot. It now feels more like a true main hub for future players, housing many NPCs and shops to aid new adventurers on their journey.
Since I could not fully express the shop designs the way I wanted, with plenty of items on tables and behind NPCs, a small Lua script was added to make certain decorative items immovable.

Galuna and Xodet are among the many familiar NPCs you will find here, along with custom Djinn Kadir, who is ready to buy almost anything players bring to him.


Rashid is, as always, essential for making money. Gorn also stands ready with his tools, prepared to sell what adventurers may need.


Aeris can grant you any addon your heart desires... of course, only if you bring the right materials.


Yasir and the Banker have set up their shops underground.


And Alenna selling the furniture

Thank you all for the kind words and support, I really appreciate it. It means a lot to see people interested in the project.
It really gives me extra motivation to keep pushing forward.

About the release: the server is already online, but it is not publicly released yet. I do not want to give an exact date too early, because I would rather make sure that even the beta version is stable and enjoyable before opening it properly.
At the moment, almost 80 hunting spots are finished, but there is still a lot of testing, balancing custom quests and small fixes to go through. Since I am working on everything alone, that part takes more time than I would like.

Once I feel the server is ready for a wider test, I may open a small beta phase for people who want to help check things out and give feedback.
