Had to revert back to the 8.1 client due to some errors with monster behavior and other small things. We will stay with the 8.1 client until further notice. You can get the old client from the link on our site or some other place you know.

Thanks!

Onto my review of the server.

Comments
Wonderfully balanced gameplay and vocations

Difficulty- Mild. Remember, this is just my opinion. Now, the reason why I only stated it as mild is because it only took an approximate 12 hours to reach level 58 and distance level 92. But keep in mind, during these twelve hours all I did was power game, and level 58 for this server's state is pretty low. From what I've seen, the monsters are bug free.
Monster Difficulty- Hard. See, now what I said above may seem like this server may be a bit too easy. But I never did factor in the monster difficulty. Now, most people would compare this monster difficulty to the real tibia monsters, I am not. I'm comparing this to the monsters I've faced on several other server s rates which are identical to this one. Onto the reason why I say hard. It seems to me that on this server, at least for paladins, both Cyclops and Vampires just LOVE tearing you apart. Now, I'm not talking about some insane damage that will kill you in three to four hits, but I'm speaking about constantly strong damage that if you're at the wrong level, and you get caught by three cyclops/stone golems, or 3 vampires, you may just be sent on a trip to the Altec temple. I personally, never died until I was on a quest trying the get a staff, the lich staff, and that quests was BRUTAL. Warning, do NOT take the Cult monsters lightly! But thats kinda beside the point. Monsters here seem to do more damage than they regularly would, but not enough to make you EASILY dead. Just make sure you have a nice ammount of health potions, mana potions wouldn't hurt (for the useful exura or exura gran spell) and be careful!
Loot Diffculty- Mild. Despite the fact that the loot rate is 1x (I believe) loot isn't all that hard to come by, which is good because of how much runes such as a BP of HMMs cost (4.2k) and a bp or NORMAL health potions (1.6k). Now most of you know Cyclops normally make a nice gateway for beginners to get money. Or for those who dislike risks, trolls/rotworms. Cyclops, on this server, pay off, if you have the luck. Now, when i first began I was lucky to loot a cyclops trophy, and baby, I was so happy because that gave me an automatic 3k. The best sellers on this server besides SOME equipment, are trophies. You may want to keep them, but if you sell them, they will surely make you happy. In the cyclops mountain, you will find stone golems and they drop red gems that sell for 500 gp a piece, another wonderful way to begin to get money as a beginner. Once you've grown up and decide you want to do something more efficient, Vampires believe it or not also gave me a REALLY nice supply from monster. From selling Strange Helmets for 1k, selling spike swords for 1.5k, and Emerald Bangles for 500, the loot REALLY pays off. Now some of you might be asking, "What about vampire shields?". Well you see, thats the downside to vampires. Their most valuable piece of equipment only sells for 12k. And if you ask me, that is NOT enough for me to hand over a awesome looking, nice defenced shield, and I don't even use it. If I were you, I'd hold onto the shields unless you REALLY needed the money.


Map- The map could definitely use a bit of touching up, but the map itself is pretty good. Bug free and better than average for sure.
Spawn Rate- Normal. Thank god! Finally a server where I can go cyclops hunting and not having to see 5 cyclops coming at me at the same time! (Unless you go to the deeper part of the cyclops mountain and even then you won't have five coming at the same time, 2 if you're being careful, 4 at most, if you're being careful).

Community- Wonderful. Majority of the higher levels are nice. No power abusers from what I've seen by far.

Staff- Fair, Precise, Hard Working. Basically, the staff members from what I've seen aren't corrupt, and I don't even think they have their own characters outside of their ADM roles, which in my opinion is a GREAT aspect. Because of this, it lessens the level of drama and the ability to accuse any staff member of abusing their power or favoring someone drops to 0%.

Yes, ill admit i like the server. Which is wierd. cause I dont usually like many custom maps.

BUT

the teleport room with the monsters in it is just lame. If you make a custom map make it properly. dont just make islands with different monsters on it and then fill a room full of teleporters to get there.

LAME

 

[buzzbuzz2]

Leo - The whole reason for the teleporter room is so you actually can find monsters instead of wandering around a map wasting time or asking gms "where do i find this". Its all personal preference. Thanks for the advice though.

 

[Merchant]

To be honest, this server sound to be great!
*the only thing I'm dissapointed at, is the homepage design..
-why don't you get a webdesigner and remake the website?

 

[buzzbuzz2]

Yea... I was thinking about redesigning. I can do it I just didnt have the time to put it together. That will be a future update.

Thanks!

 

[Merchant]

mkay, great!
*you're welcome?

 

[.: Strike :.]

Trying it out atm,
But i think it is a very good ot,
it is the only playble ot with a custom map which uses custom Action scripts (with playble i mean: premmy looks,TP's and no rook )

 

[buzzbuzz2]

Ye, It is a personal preference. I didn't mean to bag your server. it just dissappionted me.

I wont lie the mapping at the spawns and the cities are great. But the teleports everywhere just take away the rpg feel for me. Feels more like a PG/PA server.

 

[buzzbuzz2]

No its cool. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. However I was just stating why I didnt want to make the spawns searchable on the map. So my server is still an RPG with a twist
