• A new precious material has emerged and The Exchange is buying, ore and monsters alike will drop it on rare occurrence.
• Removed Warrior, Mage, Healer and Rogue paths.
• Players must now master LOSTSOUL (a better lostsoul!) in order to specialize to Paladin/Necro/etc.
• Players will now have their armor and held item restored on death, items retained on death will take 20% durability hit
• Added Supporter T9 to the forum groups. (Feel free to post for the proper tier on the forum's now)
• Mason has been merged with Engineer. The skills are gained around the same level.
• Added /hero prof - menu, for ease of use. Success!
• The exchange at spawn now buys Small and Large fragments for 5 / 8 souls respectively.

It will be a little odd, because most towns will be founded before the 1.7 update therefore a majority of the towns will be within 2000 blocks of spawn would it be possible to later have towns move their regions after the 1.7 update comes out so that not everyone is so close to each other and to spawn. It would be weird if one section of the map was as densely populated as china and the rest were unexplored.

Or you could join a town and gather resources while waiting for the 1.7 update?

Not many people would accept an app saying "hi i am here until 1.7 then i am going to leave, pls accept me". Also due to diplomacy things are never that easy.

This might not be so bad. If old towns are established in the pre-1.7 area, it will give new people a chance to found new towns with less competition in the post 1.7 area.

Edited, exact map radius hasnt been decided but will be soon.

It will probably be 1500-2000R then ramp up to 5000R+

 

[Jack_Reacher]

5000R+

Big map - I like it.

Hey HC! I love you're server its by far the most epic RPG server i have played in. The ONLYYYY thing i really realllyyyy want put in is quests! That would be sooo epic. It would blow every other RPG server out of the water if you could implement quests.

Will the way enchanter gains xp be changing for 5.0?

I know there were discussions in the past about changing them to gain xp from enchanting rather than from mining.

Do backpacks still have the bug that they reset on logout?

 

[ShadowRavynn]

is there any way for us to know the new required amount of currency and other resources to make a town? This would be great to know for planning purposes.

 

[Pietro011]

I have a question. What about those of us who've already supported the server? Will we get a discount or...?
