Get a copy of rof2. I think you can find one on ez servers wiki if you don't have rof2. Download the patcher from www.Playsanctuary.com and put that in your rof2 folder. Launch through the patcher and that's it. Your set up. Player base is low. That is why I'm here! The server has only been up since January.

Nifty, thank you. I will try to make time to check it out.

PvP and I'm there ! Sounds like a new EQ I've been waiting for

I've never seen anyone redesign entire zones like this. Very cool

I won't box. And i don't like everybody around me having an advantage. So in order to get people like me, there needs to be a solo xp bonus or a boxer xp malus... or even better, no boxing allowed.

That aside, it sounds interesting. If my concern gets addressed, i will probably try it.

Set up is kind of a PITA. Gotta DL 10 separate files, put it in a folder, then patch. I don't mind the set up, but I can see how the average person would give up (especially b/c big download files.)

Step 1 to bringing in a higher population would be providing a single file DL/patcher IMO.

For those not tech savy, this could be the biggest roadblock.

With that being said, my patch is almost done so I'll post results on how I like the server. I'm going to try the bard class, enchanter (puppetmaster,) and cleric (bishop.)

A single file download link was posted earlier in this thread

There is an experience penalty incurred for boxing.

It's also worth knowing that the game is designed around people playing 1 character, and the players who only play 1 character have historically always had the advantage over the boxers, because of the inherent focus on playing 1 character. There will never be an advantage to playing more than 1 character at a time because of the way progression works on Sanctuary. If you were to look at our leaderboards, you would see that the people who top them are the ones who do not box.

To put it simply, this is a game about defying the expectations people have with EverQuest (which this very much isn't) and emulated servers in particular. A great deal of effort has been put into taking these tropes in everyone's minds and completely subverting them.
