Are those maps/bosses aimed at low/med lvls as well?
Are there new items other than the usual drings/power rings and ****? Searched the unfinished website and noticed a few items but not that many.
Watching it and playing it are two different things, the server runs so smooth, spells go where you aim them, when you swing your weapon it swings, there's no lag between skill casts like on chronicles, no annoying AI where IWTs are smarter than most players.
Everyones the same speed so fights are fair, classes are balanced (with the exception of a few spells which are being tweaked as we speak).
Also, we Beta testers haven't had time to explore half of the new content yet, luckily Beta's not over, there's tons of new content, and not boring copy and paste content, they've put thought into the maps/mobs/bosses, (few of the new bosses I've tried are really fun) . Plenty to keep us entertained for a few months before the next content patch (Will I believe they've already done, they just need to click a button and release it).
There's tons of reasons I'm excited about this, too many to list without making it sounds like I'm being paid to promote :P
To sum up, the best server I've played over last few years (and played a lot) was Ace M2... then Chronicles ****ed it up, and this team seem to have noticed how good that server is, taken the good parts of that server and added **** loads of new content. I've a feeling half of Chronicles will try this, and highly doubt most of them will go back.
I'm very excited, and want to bum the server team quite roughly up their collective bottoms. Gonna smash this on release

I hope by launch of server as promised the website will be full of info regarding:
1) Spells and what EXACTLY they do (aka tdb does 2hits 1.2xDC each)
2) Caves and their aimed lvls and how to get to (perhaps this could be avoided but we need some info for caves so that beta testers dont have an advantage at least)
3) Items and their stats.
I understand that certain ppl will say that this will ruin the whole exploring and finding out things yourself part but at least for spells since a lot of them are new, since on these files even the old spells work in a different way, personnally i dont want to explore my class till lvl50 only to find out there is a class that does the same things better. if someone wants to play blindly and explore the server on his own he can always dodge the website right?
Other than vital info like secret/long quests or drop files etc there is no reason at all to keep things unrevealed and that would be the best advertisement of your server.
Something like an NPC in Tao Village saying "I hear there's a jungle to the north full of terrifying monsters..." I think would be meeting them halfway, still gotta explore but you have a rough idea.
That being said, on the big province maps there's symbols anyway so anyone can find these new caves, I spent 20mins exploring at start of beta and found 5 new caves, doesn't take long at all, we get barely any advantage as testers, only thing we know is which class we wanna pick, but to be honest, the balancing is so good that any class is as good as the next, depends on your playstyle, you wanna steam in and chop peoples heads off? Or sneak in and backstab someone? Heal the group? Everyone knows the drill with classes, there's no super-one-hit-shot-mega-super-sayan class that rules them all
