This looks interesting. I think everyone will leave all there shit in the bank, but other than that its about as old school as you can get right now. I'll give it a good whirl what the hell.

Link to Fallen's rule set. (http://eq.crgaming.com/viewarticle.asp?Article=5263)



edit due lack of link.

I am at work and cant view that page atm. Is there anyway someone could copy/paste the rules so I can peep them out while wasting time and getting paid?! :hat

Please help us*with testing the new server rule-set for "The Fallen".*
If you would like to help test this exciting new concept, please patch to
EverQuest using Testeverquest.exe, which you can find in your Everquest
directory.* Once patched, select "The Fallen" from the server directory and
you are in.* Here is the proposed rule-set for this server:

- Any character that is slain for any reason what so ever will be reset and
placed back into newbie status. Characters will not be restored or resurrected
for ANY reason what so ever. Once you're dead, you're dead.

- Each account will only be allowed one character on this server. Any PvP
death results in the killing player obtaining a number of points based on the
levels of the characters involved. Players can only gain points from
characters that are within 5 levels of them.

- You may loot all tradeable items from the corpse of the character you just killed, all other equipment is destroyed with the character.

- The server will make use of the Firiona vie*no*drop*rules (few things will be No-Drop)

- The server will have the old world (Antonica, Faydwer, Odus) plus the Legacy of Ykesha expansion, and will only allow characters to reach level 50 with no AA.

- The server will*have a doubled experience*modifier to facilitate faster paced gameplay.

- Players will not be able to turn on /anonymous or /roleplay to hide their current location.

Help us out and let us know what you think.* You can use the Submit Comment link on the Dev Corner to send us your feedback and ideas.
Thanks for your help and I hope you enjoy "The Fallen"

This looks pretty much like hardcore mode on Diablo 2 :/

Played on The FAllen this morning for about an hour. Exp is outrageous but well in line with how much you get your going to get ganked i think. I see making a trustworth bunch of friends a must on this server. BTW you loose EVERYTHING when you die. even whats in your bank. So don't die if you want to keep you nifty bronze armor.

Would your smith of (9) drop back to (0)?

OMG, it's a graphical MajorMud! (and old text BBS MUD). When you killed someone in that game, all their stuff fell on the ground, and you just looted it up... Banks were capable of holding money, nothing else.

I might be willing to stick my head in this :)

Zim, everything and I do mean EVERYTHING gets reset. All your gear goes to the victor, all your money on you goes to them, everything in your bank goes bye bye.

Level gets reset to 1, along with all skills.

Talk about having to learn how to run away :\

hehe. thats why everyoneis making bards that I noticed. there was 25 of the damn things in qeynos this morning. By the way. the class I started was of course a bard..LOL

Couple things they forgot to mention about the server when it goes live:

-The server's only going to be up for roughly a month.
-There's going to be an item named after the winners (up to 6)
-If you win you get to transfer your character to any server you so choose for free.
-After one month the server is being wiped and likely started over again.

I hope someone makes movies on that server. I picture an, I dunno, level 40 half elf bard with 200 low-level gnomes trying to trap him.

I say we recruit the A-ro community to make an army of level 1 gnomes to rampage the lands the day this server goes live 8*(

I'm in!!!

isn't it already up?

It's on test, but not live yet.

I hope that skill ups and such are accelerated like exp, otherwised dying and going back to (0) 1hs will be annoying.

last night, i started a monk, and got a skill up of (1) i can't remember if it was dodge or what, but i was just having fun killing friends left and right

Sounds like a hoot. Form a large guild called AyRo or something like that.

It was fun for a few hours. I looted a cracked staff and my partner wanted to random for it.

But then I was level 7, zoned into EC and got owned by a train.

wow, im soo going to load up test right now

It takes too long for a bard to pkill anyone ... I've watched Timshon, Talid, Kinuvan run around the bazaar for hours ...

I'm making a druid, named Kelraz. Nukes, dots, and the versatility to heal and move around is what makes me happy.

/hijack on

Timshon

Omg Timshon ~ I remember meeting him when his main was a druid and his bard was named Tiemyshoes before it was nerfed to Timshon by GMs. *hugshugs* If you read these boards hun drop me a PM sometime!!

/hijack off

Form a large guild

how would that work. wouldn't it suck if you got some loot for the guild banker, then got axed in route?
