The Duchy Of Wessex has relaunched its public server. In order to more closely align with the upcoming MMO only a few of the previously available customizations are activate.

Full rules and feature details found under this Steam group. You can also visit us at our Duchy Of Wessex forums.

Features

• Expanded Death Table – Player deaths and knock-outs are recorded in the database. We go one better by recording current guild information as well.
• Killboard – What good is having an expanded death table if no one has access to the data within it? Our server runs periodic scripts to extract the information and presents it in an xml format that can be sourced for a truer accounting of a fights results. View the Results
• No Judgement Hour – While we like the idea of players being able to kill indiscriminately, stealing from containers during this time frame without having locks or thieving skill involved is just…..wrong. Plus, being capped at 64 players introduces an artificial limit to attacking/defending positions. We want fun, not frustration.
• Stump Removal – Happens automatically at server start up, but speed of uproot also increased. Trees under quality of 35 are also auto-removed at startup, improving performance.
• Decay Enabled – We want folks to have guild claims. Building off of a claim will require increased maintenance. Decay rate is set to .25

Our server is up and running. One of the features we have that is unique to our server is a random loot generator.

Why?

Currently with guild claims it is fairly easy to protect your stfff from getting taken if you are killed by raiders. The solution of 'judgement hour' doesn't really work because then *everything* is vulnerable. Our loot generator bridges this divide by rewarding raiders with some loot, but also protecting most of your assets.

The way it works is on the generation of a grave stone a randomly generated item is created and placed there. The loot comes from a specially designed custom table, and the quality is randomly determined as well.

There are some restrictions to prevent abuse. Such as if you are in the same guild no loot gets generated. There is also a 'cooldown' so loot isn't generated for killing a player multiple times. Getting killed by animals doesn't generate loot either.

We have some other custom features as well. Our server is named "Duchy Of Wessex". Stop by, create a character, and join the fun.

Originally the plan was to have decay on at 1, but that is proving too difficult for folks who lack a guild monument. So the new plan is to turn it off and only enable it once a week for now.

Stop by this weekend and play a bit. Just look for the server name: Duchy of Wessex (PvP/RP, Killboard, Loot Generator, 2015/08/29)

The number of players joining our server continues to grow.

Swing by and give us a try!

Where have the PvPers gone? Our public server is much too tame.

If we offered some newbies on stick, would that entice you to stop on by?

Perhaps not the best way to encourage new people to join your server.

Clearly it's a joke. And given that this is a PvP game, those who might be offended at said joke would be better off somewhere else anyhow.

So, in effect, I've made both those players and my server happier in the long run.

Is this server still taking new players?

We have relaunched the server, and it is open to the public.
