Test Players wanted to give feedback on a development server. description is long so read carefully lol
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ( Forgotten Realms ) Type of Ruleset
The server has been setup to feel like your playing and old Forgotten Realms adventure. From old D&D items like bags of hold to Dragon Orbs to summon Dragons are in the game. To Evil Chromatic Dragons Red, Blue, Black, Green, White and Metallic Good Aligned Dragons Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze, Brass. You can also become a Dragon Lord gaining that title which displays under your name. The server was setup so if your playing with friends or just by yourself you can always find something to do or find something new and fun to do. Always something hidden to explore or find. I will always want to add new stuff to the server if it seems to add value to game play. I have developed this server since 2003 originally it was Geia Adventures way back when very small server. No Gargoyles No Asian stuff just good old fashioned D&D type stuff. I wanted this server to try and be a true as could be to a Open Sandbox design as it could be. To provide play on so many different levels not just PVM or PVP but to enjoy crafting, harvesting, exploring, puzzle solving, Home building, questing and character building. The most fun I have ever had was playing Dungeons and Dragons creating a story about my character as we played for so many hours through the years building my character. I am hoping people can have that same sort of feeling when playing.

PLAYER / CHARACTERS

1. Levels / Experience Points: We have levels , max level is 20. you gain levels by gaining exp points, you can gain exp by doing pretty much anything, casting a spell, killing a mob, doing a quest, crafting an item, etc. When you go up a level you get rewards like for certain classes you get your next level of spells or you get a extra control slot for pets or your str cap is raised etc.
2. Races: We have 19 races these are basically reflected off old Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms ruleset or close to it, so you will see classic Drow Elf race or Duergar (dark dwarf underdark), Wood elf etc races, We also have animations for actual Dwarfs that actually work :) trade secret lol. Races are a pivotal point to how it all comes together.
2a. Stat Caps: Different Races have different Stat Caps -example Elfs have a 140 Dex Cap and Dwarves had a 140 Str Cap.
3. Classes: Same as Races we have classic classes as Cleric, Paladin, etc but we also have some unique classes like Avenger which is a dark paladin or a Bladesinger (elf swordcaster) and Warlock. Classes also play a big part because items , spells and other systems and game play differ because of what class you are, a paladin can use the new skill taunt that a fighter can not and at level 5 gets a str cap higher than a monk lets say.
3a. Profession Classes / There are classes that are specifically for just crafters like the class blacksmith or Tailor, these classes give you higher caps to your crafting skills than normal classes so that if you just want to craft for play can get right into it.
3b. Class Abilities/ some classes have class abilities like special moves or spells. You gain these abilities at certain levels. Example is the barbarians berserk, grants extra damage while in berserk mode but looses stam while in beserk mode.
4. Languages: Here are the languages Common, Elven, Orcish, Drowic, Dwarvish, Duergan, Gargish, Gnomish, Angelic, Dracish. If a character is speaking a different language it will come across as gibberish. you can learn different language and switch between them.
5. Proficiencies: We have Armor Proficiencies, Weapon Proficiencies, Shield Proficiencies, Magic Proficiencies, Primary Proficiencies, and Secondary Proficiencies just like Dungeons and Dragons. These will have an effect on weapons armor attack resistance spell casting damage etc. you gain points as you level to select your Proficiencies as you play.
6. Servants: Like pets these are servants but they do not take up control slot you have a separate area for these they act like pets but you do not tame them you hire them based on money and your nobility type (which you can change during the game).
7. Religion: You may choose to worship a deity if you wish. If you choose a class like Priest or Priestess or Cleric you will need to select a deity. Religion will grant you special abilities or curses depending on the deity.
8. Alignment: Based off D&D concept. Good, Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil. Can effect items in game depending on Alignment type.
9. Nobility: Not a huge factor right now does affect small with servant prices.
10. Stat & Skill Caps: There is no real Stat and Skill Caps since you can raise your Stat & Skill Caps through leveling and rare items.
11. We have two extra Stats Con = Constitution & Chr = Charisma like Dungeons & Dragons. Consitution is some what like stamina but how well your body is built and can withstand punishment. Chrisma is how you come across to the world how other mobs view you.
12. Skills: We have two extra skills Artistry and Diplomacy. Artistry is a crafting skill and diplomacy is a skill used in training and controlling servants. Some skills have been renamed like Bushido is now called Darkness, Ninjitsu is now called Assasination, Imbuing is now called Leatherworking, Mysticism is now called Elementalism, Spellweaving is now called Demonogoly.
13. Player Profile Gump: Custom gump showing details of your character.

CUSTOM SYSTEMS
ANIMAL TAMING / Training:

1. Our Tamables have levels and have a max level of 20. They gain xp by killing foes. there are 3 stages of training you can raise skills, stats, resistances, add skills, change AI types. to advance in stages you need to purchase a training book at each stage before advancing. Tamables have classifications to genus to tell what type they are. Basically totally different from UO and ServUO complete overhaul.
2. Training and Lore gump: Once your pet is tamed you have a new gump from which you can view your pets details. Once you get enough exp points on your pet you an train your pet via the gump.

SERVANTS

1. Our Servants are like tameable creatures and pets but don’t take any control slots, they take up there own servant slots. Servant slots aredetermined by Nobility type and a base of 5 like control slots.
2. Servants can only be purchased or hired like the squire systems out there. If you don’t keep paying them they will leave unless they swear feality to you.
3. Servants can be trained like your pets with the 3 stages of traing and gain exp the same way as your pets by killing mobs, and can be modified like your pets with stats and skills and other modification with one addition, you can give them equipment.

10. Mining / 12 custom ores some are distro but a mixture of custom like mythril and Cobalt, Orichalcum and others.

4.

19. Tailoring / BODs Very custom we have 12 different types of cloth. The reason why is because we actually have cloth armor sort of like world of warcraft. You can craft cloth armor for mages, wizards, warlocks, priests etc. That is why I split up tailoring and leather working would be way to much in one place. can craft novelty items such as toys plushy animal teddy bears, house addons curtains etc.
