Re: [2.3] Aeolian Server - Explained In Detail
Legend Of Mir 2.6: Age Of Aeolian
Dedicated Server
Complete overview of what to expect in Exhibition:
As it's exhibition, I'm only going to allow a few maps to be tested. All of these maps will be new, bar BichonProvince.
There will be 3 temples, and a few rooms. Each temple has a different theme of monsters to it. The rooms will exhibition several boss monsters aswell as some minions and other non-boss monsters, all new.
After logging in you will begin in Home. This is where each NPC acts differently everytime you see them, you'll barely hear a repeat (unless no significant progress is made in game for a while).
You will then be greeted with an automatic NPC box, explaining that you've recieved a letter. This letter will outline a brief introduction to the storyline, it where explain how you are needed 'Home' by your father as there is some news he must share. The letter was given to you by an old friend of his; the NPC standing next you, next to the cart. He will tell you how your father looked ghostly when giving this letter to him, and will tell you he cannot go further than where he is now due to his cart being broken.
You make the 30 second journey up the croplands until you reach a fencing, where a gate is leading to your Father's house.
He will then tell you what's happened (For you to find out).
He tells you that you were sent to the Bukai School, where you learnt weaponry, summoning beasts, casting spells, and all the other skills, for a reason. He said what happened, for the letter to be sent was a consequence of an event prophecised for thousands of years, and that you are one of the people who are chosen to oppose this great force by travelling to BichonProvince and attending the Elder's Meeting.
But first, you have to complete a small quest, where you acquire your starter kit and gain a Karma Point.
After completing the quest, recieving the needed equipment, speaking to rest of the family, you return to 'Father' where he will allow you to use the Equishift Stone (teleport).
You start at level 1, you should gain to be level 5 by the end of the quest. Also you start as a warrior, whatever your class, but when you are teleported to BichonProvince you are returned to your original decision (wiz/war/tao). You are also level changed to 28, a gift from your family.
Branching off:
Each class will experience a very different line of gameplay. Taoists for example, will start off with no spells. For you to learn your first spell, SoulFireBall you will need to attend to Elder's Meeting, where you will also be briefed on what is going on, where the chaos is, who's leading it, all of that jazz. You will then need to acquire another skill before teleporting anywhere; healing.
To acquire healing you will need to complete a quest bestowed to you by a disfigured Monk, standing underneath a blossom tree.
Then starts your Aeolian experience. Everyone's experience Aeolian will not be the parallel, it won't be the same to everyone elses. They'll be completely unique, as a lot of things are affected by your actions, what you choose/don't choose to do, your generosity, the time, the day, and a lot more.
From then, you can either choose to follow the storyline, or jump straight into the PvP Province (after gaining paying the fees) where you can earn experience/gold for every kill. But after 3 deaths, you are unable to return to the battlefield and are given your reward, original kit, original level, original class.
So yeah, that's basically a very direct, brief outline of what to expect in the first 30mins of logging in to Legend Of Mir II: Age Of Aeolian
Some updates:
Real-time NPC simulation. Talking, moving NPCs.
12 new magic spells in total
Currently 35-40 new monsters, will be more in the next few days
Two new ice maps, with ice mobs, dropping ice items.
Around about 120 new items added.
Ther are about 18 specific kits for each gender
Karma Point system fully utilized and operational
Hair change (thought this was wise, you can login with an afro, fully viewable)
There are about 50 quests fully working, completed by myself ready for exhibition.
Oh and, Aeolian-Network has expanded with a RoSE (Rush On Seven Episodes) server,
not developed, hosted or maintained by myself; my work is souly on Aeolian-Mir.
Anyways, thought I might give a bit of an outline on Exhibition with a few notes, hope you like the sound
EDIT: Ehm, can someone change [2.3] to [2.6] in the title please? Seems a mod's made a mistake >_>
