Ok so i know that some of our community is coming from rok also known as realms of kaos for those who never played it. And the ones that are coming from there are seeing a LOT of changes that have been made and that will be made in the future. I cant emphasize enough on this but this is NOT realms of kaos and is NOT going to be realms of kaos. It might have helped with some of the ideas for this game but this is the next gen of muds! Its going to be a much greater game than rok ever was and has already surpassed rok in so many ways its not funny. The coding was not taken from rok it was all coded in full by Nitehawk and belongs to him NOT lance. There was nothing copyright stolen from rok or any other game for that matter. Nitehawk and Lat (other staffers as well for those who help build) have worked VERY hard on this game and continue to work extremely hard for not only the game itself but the community as well. So please dont come in here with the mentality of a rok player if you are a former player cause we don't need that kinda poison in this game. There was far to much hate and corruption in that game that simply wont be tolerated in this game. This game plays nothing like rok even if it has a few similarity they are minor at best. I love this game and i want it to go very far and live a long time so for those who have hate for it and just want to trash talk it than just go ahead and show yourself to the door cause we don't need your hatefulness anywhere around this game! Its an honor to be part of the next gen of something i love so much and to see ppl come in spouting off at the mouth eats me up inside so please everyone just have fun and enjoy what you are getting for FREE!
P.S. This is a Single alt game with emphasis on working as a team to progress unlike most muds you cant be top dog by just running off at the mouth and trying to solo everything so do try and make friends or you might find yourself at the sharp end of someones dagger very fast.
Love sincerely,
Your neighborhood Scytso.
This is not rok....
Re: This is not rok....
Also, can people not act like children about a class in the game? It's pretty ridiculous how dumb people are being in a game that's barely been up. Some clans are already getting reputations for being whiny babies, it's only going to get worse.
Re: This is not rok....
Some drama is part of the fun though boys.
Within reason of course

Re: This is not rok....
Yeah, people do need to give us feedback rather then complaining about it or harassing others. If there is an issue I will be glad to take it to heart and fix it.
And you are right, this is not ROK. ROK was a base obviously, but we're gone pretty beyond that, even now. I want to continue and I want to make sure this is a great game on it's own.
To confirm> Yes, this game was done from scratch, but also it was from my old game Shards of Enigma. Thats where the old client comes from. It was designed in 2008 when ROK went down and worked on a couple years back but I did not continue it. We did not take Syndar, item files, monster files, etc. Everything is from scratch build wise as well. The game uses scripting for alot of things, which is awesome because I can modify a skill/spell/etc without rebooting the server.
While I understand this game is not for everyone, I hope everyone who does like it can enjoy it right now. I know content is lacking, but we are seriously working on it. Hope you all enjoy it.

Re: This is not rok....
Yea keep in mind unlike some other MUDs around we value really value player opinions. No need to be upset about a function if you don't like it or think it's wrong. We will hear you out if the community agrees we usually do too.
We also love suggestions so keep them flowing this game was built on community suggestions and will continue to be.

Re: This is not rok....
once everyones 25 I'm sure nobody will whine anymore... it'll be fun stuff 
Re: This is not rok....
I'm one of those that comes from RoK, and I can definitely say I agree with Scytso and his saying that this is already far and away better in some ways.
One of the things I like the best is the attention to the game paid by its staff. I made the joke earlier today that I worried for a moment that Ember was going to carry on the Kaos tradition of crashing on Saturdays when I have the most time to play, but then I was shown my error when not even a full hour of downtime went by before the game was back up and running. I definitely applaud the effort of the staff, and I want to say that I am loving the game whether I play it in a group trying to take on bosses, or solo trying to fulfill quests in the various towns.
I also, however, agree with Folder. Drama is part of the fun, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. It is true that some express that opinion more elegantly -and certainly more constructively- than others, but they have a right to that opinion nonetheless. Some classes, some styles of play, some clans, and some players will always be the focus of hostility. It just comes with the territory.

Re: This is not rok....
A heart felt speech Mr. Scytso. Unfortunately this is an online game and most online interactions tend to bring out the worst in people (everyone is so much braver when their behind a computer miles away from the other person - they dont need to fear a punch in the nose for one).
In olden days society was more self governing, you went against societies codes and youd get ostracised.
So if people act like ass hats ostracise them (although dickish behaviour is subjectional. What I find dickish other people may not have a problem with and vica versa). This is as much an issue for other players to deal with as it is for the staff.
May there should be a EULA kinda thing stickied, very first topic, with it being highlighted on log in. Bullet point list (no wall of text) of what is acceptable behaviour and against the ToS?
Drama is always a part of online community. I saw it shaping up just a little before wipe and now after wipe (and I don't play much). As someone else says it can add some spice to the game (as long as it doesn't become toxic). wHo doesn't love a bit of drama?
