Server down for HD replacement
Tue May 07, 2013 7:13 pm by angelox

I have taken down the Rather server today for hard disk replacement - This includes new OS installation and the whole works.
The old hard disk has been acting up, and don't want to wait for it to totally shut down (then I can't transfer data).
Should be finished by tomorrow.

Bot spawning timer changes
Tue Mar 05, 2013 12:26 pm by angelox

#Bot Spawn, SpawnGroup, and SpawnRaid timer-delays will be reduced to 5 and 10 seconds in non combat zones.
Current non-combat zones are Bazaar, Nexus, PoK, and PoT.

Reasons for timer-delays in spawning bots are two;
1- Try and damper exploits during game play.
2- Since spamming these commands consecutively will cause random zone crashes, the non-combat zones are reduced to a minimum so players can use these for swapping bots an gear. Hopefully, the 5 and ten second delay will be enough.

Ladder Will Reset New Years 2013
Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:43 am by angelox

We start this a day early (New Years eve).
Also the New Years random Moonstone event will be running, so you have a chance to by pass a few of the bot-gate quests.
The event should last at least a year (like the current event did), so we should all have plenty of time to accomplish it.
Remember, ladder will only accept characters made tomorrow or after, and your name will not show on the ladder listing tell you get past level 3.
All GM accounts are blocked from this event.

I just ported the EqEmu login server code over to AXClassic, and is up and running. Everything has been customized to our account needs, so nothing is changed as far as accounts, ports, etc.
If you have any problems, please post. I'm hoping this fix was for the better.

Also, as a follow up on the The Rathe Ladder Server and its changes to Najena Server: Najena Server has been discontinued (due to no interest ), and ladder changes reverted back to Rathe - This was done a long time ago, just posted in case you hadn't noticed.

We are working on another server which will be more "classic-like", with features like no expansions , expansion-items or anything expansion related (stay tuned for this).

Server Changes
Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:36 am by angelox

"Rathe Ladder" has been changed to "Najena" Server and the Darkerwater ladder scripts re-instated to the original Rathe Server.
The difference between Rathe and Najena server is, Level 63+ Najena server characters will not be allowed into some of the old-school, lower level zones.

The Rathe Ladder Server
Thu Jan 26, 2012 3:48 pm by angelox

So this was probably not a great idea (another server), but I have had all this code laid out for months now, really would like to see it running - and would like to play on a server of this type. I never went any further with it on Rathe because I didn't want any more members getting mad or quitting over it.
So now we have the Rathe ladder server, this is where the the Ladder NPC will be active and all the rules are enforced. It's a clean slate with accounts - anyone who plays this server should know that once you reach certain levels, you will not be allowed to return to "Classic" zones. High level characters may get moved to the original Rathe server after ladder reset.
Thank you Leslamarch, for helping me make this happen

Ladder will Reset January 1st 2012
Sun Dec 04, 2011 7:05 am by angelox

Their will be additional rewards for new ladder players, hopefully enough to justify starting a new character.
If anyone has any ideas on what else to do or offer with this event, now is the time to post (before it starts).
The event should last at least a year (like the current event is), so we should all have plenty of time to accomplish it.

Welcome to the AXClassic forums!!

Official development work is done on "[PROJECT AXCLASSIC] The Rathe Server", where you are welcome to come and play.
AXClassic Emulator is a blend of old school game play with original and custom content.
AXClassic carries the original EQBOTS code, and is still worked on by original and new coders.

Our goal here is to try and bring you back to a time where your heart was in the original (classic) zones, and places like Butcherblock and South Karana were in your thoughts and dreams.
Only this time, you'll have that "prefect group" you wanted with you at all times.
With EQBOTS, you'll be able to go anywhere in the game, build impressive raid groups, and take on the toughest raid bosses.
You'll be going places that were never possible when you played before.

AXClassic also sports the most simplified home box version of EqEmu with it's AXClassic Repack.
The AXClassic Repack is a full install of everything you need to mount a "play at home" server, all with a simple click of your mouse button.
