Gondor vs Mordor

So it has been a bit of a task due to the complexity of these two maps, but I have just about completed the rebuild of both these areas.

This includes new map designs to make the layout easier to follow and 'more-to-the-point' for new players and a complete overhaul of all the information signs and other 'things' that go on on these maps - something that has needed to be done for quite a while.

Anyway hoping to get this next update out in the next few days.

Awesome news!

Sounds great!   :D

Valkirah the Lich Lord of Angmar is slowly regaining in his former power.  While he has yet to be unleashed as a weapon against the pathetic forces of Gondor, he bides his time terrorizing the pathetic and misguided goblins of Shagluk.  Ha!

Hi all

Just rebooted the server with the new Pocket and Eru's.

In a nutshell :
1) New map layouts
2) All info signs have been re-written, old ones removed, new ones added etc
3) Eru journal entries have been updated
4) Conversations updated (including the update signs for spells/feats/classes/skills)
5) Turrils Travel Centre is now in Eru's
6) Eru's water triggers for Greater Restoration is now the Water of Life sign in Pocket

Let me know if you see any issues, will be online for quite a bit of the day to make sure its ok :)

-fc-

Looks great!

I like the jail, it reminds me of Ultima Online!  Ha!

Cheers,
  Val

Got a chance to really explore the new Pocket & Eru's today.  Awesome work!  The updated information and new signs have been needed for a long time.  The water of life sign... is that kinda like walking through the water in Eur's? Making Eru's a straight shot is a good move. Again, Good work!

Thanks :) Yup that's right with the sign - it replaces the old 'walk through water' triggers as I think it was not obvious to new players that they are there.

One thing I think I have noticed is the player shouts have stopped working. E.g. 'PlayerName has joined Mordor/Gondor' when logging in or going through Eru's portals to the cities. Can anyone else confirm this?

Confirmed

Will be fixed next reboot.

Awesome!! Great work -fire- !
 :hello2: :headbang:

But ... but ... what happened to the great "middle age - like" tune  :o ... now its only ambient sound ... which is honestly working on my nerves if I spend more than 5 minutes in wizards pocket or in Eru's.
 :crybaby2:

Please get the old tune back ... its rather soothing and pleasant + its nice nostalgia ...  :help:
the tune made me always feel very happy and feel like "finally home"

Haha, easily done Grey...next patch reboot :)

Btw, faction player shouts should be working again.

 Phew thnx m8 ... was worried I never would hear the "original starting sounds" of wizards pocket
_o_ :icon_thumleft: :occasion14:

Sorry in advance, for not waiting long enough ... but took the liberty to update ambient and Music sound in "Pocket"and "Eru's".

It really gives me a wonderful feeling to hear these sounds (nostalgia and boosting happiness amoung others  :laugh:)

Hope others love them too ... or at least can appreciate them  ;D

It does bring back a bit of nostalgia :)
