The server is now officially reopened!
While the server has been online for a few weeks now, it didn't have most of the features it had before. The past weeks, we have slowly been adding back those features, and we have now decided the server is far enough completed to call it oficially reopened!So.. what features have we added?
Classes!
We have added eleven classes! 4 normal classes, 2 voter classes and 5 donator classes! These classes are available on every map. The classes are a combination of classes we used to have on EW, classes we used to have on AOW, and some entirely new classes!
Normal: Soldier, Archer, Shieldman, Constructor
Voter: Skirmisher, Spearman
Donator: Medic, Mage, Berserker, Ranger, Halberd
Voting!
We have readded voting. This works exactly the same as before. You can check the vote links and which rewards you already have using /vote, and you can also check it on the website. Vote rewards include sharpness, voter classes and enchanted boots.
Donator Store!
The store is very different from what it was before. Instead of buying ranks and getting classes, you now purchase each class seperately. Your total amount of money spent decides which rank you get. The ranks are, in order, Lord (5€), Legend (15€), Veteran (30€) and King (50€).
These ranks each have their own rewards as well, all of which are readable on our store page.
You can check our topdonators ingame using /topdonators.
Another point about the donations that has changed is where the money goes. I have decided to make more public what part of the money goes to the server and what part goes to me. Of all money earned, half goes towards me and half goes towards a server reserve account. This reserve account is spent on paying for the server, but also on saving for lesser months. If we have more than 300€ savings, the rest will also go to me, because that's almost a year of hosting the server. The main reason for the amount going to me is that I have to spend a lot of my time on this, while also now living on my own and following a full time study. I don't have time for another job, so need some kind of compensation.
So what's more? The coming weeks we will be adding some more features and maps. The amount of classes will stay put for now, but might change later. These are the biggest things we are still working on:
Maps!
We currently only have two map. One map is already over half way done, and more are also in the making. We will focus on small bi-linear siege maps, like Helm's Deep, but we will also test other gamemodes, like we have the core defence gamemode now.
MVP!
Another thing we will be readding soon is the MVP system, which keeps track of your score during the game and displays the best player of each team at the end of the match.
Stats!
We have not yet added stats, because we still haven't finished everything and don't want bugs to give players unfair stats. We will add these soon, and they will also be namechange compatible! Which means you can finally change your name without losing all of your stats!
We're getting there, and the server is finally looking more like it did before. We'll keep you up to date on the news, but for now. Enjoy your game!
