CHAINMAIL running for a while (trial basis only)

Well, that was fun

I've launched the CHAINMAIL module in place of the usual Path of Ascension module. It will be running for the day, so feel free to take a look. A few notes:



  • Make sure that your CEP install is current (the current version is 1.50 - you can get an update patch from the CEP site if you need it).
  • I noticed that when selecting my character, it took a few minutes before the "Connect" button would highlight. I think this is because it's such a big module; you just have to sit and wait until the server allows you to connect to it.
  • You'll need to create a new character for the trial. If we ever adopt this module, I will look into allowing people to port their PoA characters.
  • When you start up, you'll find yourself on a ship. The captain will give you a choice of two destinations. Because it's such a big world, I recommend that everyone choose the same location so that there's less chance of finding yourself stuck miles away from everyone else on your own. I suggest the Shoreline settlement as the gathering point, as it's a little smaller than the other option.
  • Expect bugs, lag, etc. - the module is not finished yet (and the next update will probably be a month or two away).
  • The world is BIG. Really, really big. I haven't looked at more than about 5% of it myself yet, so I'll be discovering it at the same time as you. It's littered with dungeons and lairs, both small and large, contains an entire outer plane, a massive, world-spanning underdark, and more. I don't know how accessible all the stuff is, though, or how soon it'll be before you find anything interesting.
  • I've attached a map below. This is about one-sixth of the world. Shoreline is on the East Coast.

Just restarted it.

I've been checking it out with various people. The stronghold system is fantastic - you choose one of 16 stronghold designs and get to place it anywhere you wish. They're big and elaborate, with many rooms, tons of stuff (magical forge, soldiers you can command, recall portal, training facilities, healing facilities, armoury, etc.). Expensive, though, and only available to 20th level characters.
 

How does one choose a sub race?
Which ones are available.
When I logged in it didn't give me an option. When I chose race then clicked subrace no options just room to type.
 

I don't know, I'm afraid. Learning as I go along!

There's a couple of us online now (at Shoreside) if you wanna pop back.
 




I like the idea of this mod, and the scope of it. Read the earlier thread several times. But in order to test it, I would need it to be up for several days. My play time during the current 'Merican holidays simply doesn't allow me a consistent schedule for gaming.

Why don't you just go ahead and leave it up for a few days. Hasn't been much traffic at PoA lately anyways. But I'd love to explore the mod with my current char. PoA wasn't really keeping his interest.
 

Server Down Again (I am affraid)

I guess we finnaly know what happens when a demon kills a nobel hero like Darvish O'Derida... a curse wipes the very plane from the cosmos
