When the server is open tonight it will be only for players that transfered there accounts over from the old High Rate. Sorry you can not yet make a new account.
The server will open in beta mode, and there will without doubt be some major ***s ups. This is due to us coding the new files for a new server, not to incorp old stats and old settings from 2.3. With this in mind there will prob be some minor rewinds.
So why all the hassle then?
Well as you all know the old High Rate server had many bugs, from the /TD HINT SCREEN down to PA PR etc not really working.
I was unable to change or fix or of these bugs as the server files i was using were standard run of the mill programs, meaning i couldn't edit the programs, all i was able to edit on the old files were some txt files and the database, this was fine for the 1st 2 years of the server, but as more and more bugs appeared towards the end of last year and more and more people started griefing due to the bugs in game it soon became aware that the files as great as their were had come to the end of there life for a server of this size.
So what we did was find some real old source code (about 1.9 ish standard) then recode to have all the features of the current files, and also add some new features. The main point was to make sure that the new files had everything that the current files have, but in a working state. I think we have pretty much managed to do this.
So when you do get in game and find that the game is still pretty much the same don't be dissapointed. There have been a lot of changes to the game and the code, and the game its self will be getting a hell of a lot more updates such as new mob attacks, new spells, new hunting areas etc. We will also be able to now fix ANY BUG in game, pretty quicky as well, as we no longer need to wait on a 3rd party to release any update.
Any questions feel free to asked.
Thanks
