Dang. I've been nursing a nasty cold. Part of the reason I've been playing so much the last few days. It pretty much preempted all my Thanksgiving plans and left me at home. Almost over it now.
Why does this mean anything special? Well, when I signed off the server last night I was in a rush to get to the toilet. Not feeling good. Guess I didn't get my char to a safe point. He had just died, killed by Yuanti whilst trying to rush to Crom's aid. As he told me, as I lay in the Fugue Plane, Crom was mere steps from my char when he passed from the living.
So, when I logged back in this morning (feeling much better now, thank you), Aelrahd spawned straight back into the Dark Forest. To be promptly attacked and killed several times by an Orc Shaman. Then Giant Ants. Then Harpies. That'll teach me to note where I log off. ;p
Finally got to the portal and escaped. Took a trip to the South Shore where a Cockatrice stoned my char, but to my suprise, my fellow eventually prevailed. Gawrsh, I like this server, even though it slays me...

Yup I was close enough to see your body vanish..and had a raise dead at the ready..
The cave behind the waterfall we were outside when you logged off proved to be interesting I figured i'd have a looksee.. thinking ill go Invisibly to the bottom level of this dungeon and work my way back to the surface (what can i say im strange like that).. 10 minutes and one crash later.. I was five levels down and still no bottom level in sight... *ulp*
Passed all manner of unpleasantness too..umber hulks, vampires, undead umber hulks.. death knights...and so forth.. just occured to me im likely to be exactly where i was yesterday now..but with no invisibility left...oh dear.
I was just wondering how long this trial basis is going to last. I barely get a chance to try it out with it always going down. I would just as soon have PoA back, at least we can play that for more than 10 min at a time. The game itself seems fun as far as I can tell, but I think until more of the bugs are worked out bring back PoA. Just thought I would put this out there, not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way, if I am then nevermind.
I agree that it would be nice to have Ascension back, especially around the holidays. I don't want to sound mean because the server may be fun someday but I kind of want to relax and have fun and not have it crash all the time. This is the opinion of my gaming group. I wish you good luck in getting it to work, but please bring Ascension back for awhile at least.
My take:
Pros
I do like the vast areas to explore.
Wish I had more pros, but I have not experienced enough of the game, but I think the stronghold thing is cool.
Cons
When I was 5th level I found the forge to build magic items. However it stated that I was not high enough level to use. So when I leveled to 6th, I am unable to get to the forge now. The monsters got stronger and with no magical protection or weapons I can not possiably make it there. Some monsters even have damage reduction that I am unable to get past with a masterwork weapon. Most just do enough damage that they kill me in 3 hits, as my AC is low. Need to make a forge closer to civilization. Be nice if this was documented more so you knew what to do at the forge and what not to do. Minimum levels and such.
Same henchmen problems as the rest.
Can't seem to find double bladed weapons. Was suprised to hear someone found a dire mace.
Some quests would be cool, or a story. I killed a named character (some creature) and the game displayed a message that seemed to give me more xp, but other than that not sure what I can do.

Where is the forge?
Some "names undisclosed adventuring buddies" and I also found a fiendish forge (location undisclosed). 
We even had the means to try out a few enchantments. I put in my axe and the required ingriedients, selected +1 magical enhancement and *bam* out came and axe with a +1 AC bonus. 
I think the fiendish forges are bugged for now.
