Novus – An Introduction
All of you know by now that our new server Novus will open the doors on 7th October, 2017 at around 8 PM UTC. This is a big step for our server, it will double the land you can build on. Novus will be a server for both existing players who can join the adventure with a new character and of course also for new players who can go there to catch up more easily. Liberty will also still be open for new and existing players but Novus will be recommended for new players obviously, as it is the bigger adventure for them, if all players on the server are on the same "level". I am sure you want to know how you can go there when it is opened. I also want to especially point out that Liberty will not see any change, you can continue play there as always.
Novus is planned as a “pristine” server, which means that only new characters will be able to go there. Server travelling, mailing and everything else between the clusters is not possible for the first time. This is great advantage for new players to catch in a safe environment without any existing high skillers or veterans. All other servers will be unaffected from the start of Novus and will continue as usual, Novus is a great advantage for a fresh start without any server wipes.
After some months, when people decided that they are ready to be connected to the rest of the world, Novus will be connected and mailing, travelling and everything else will be possible. This will be a community decision made via the ingame voting system.
We hope a lot new players will join with Novus upcoming, so please invite all your friends who aren’t playing on Sklotopolis right now to the opening.
Q&A
Q: Just a curious question first of all will it be open to just new players ie new chars to start? Will mail be stopped cross server to start with?
A: Only new chars, no mailing between servers, no item transfer between servers, no connection to the old server (for the beginning).
Q: Will any deeds on Novus count toward your 4 total deeds per steamID?
A: Yes and no, the limit of 4 deeds will be the same on Novus, but it will not be shared with the Liberty server, which means you can have up to 4 deeds on both servers.
Q: When do we see the map dump?
A: The map dump is already available for everyone on a hidden location. We also have given a hint in the introduction post. I am still waiting for someone to find this hidden sneak peak of the new map.
Q: Can we donate for early access, or reserving locations?
A: Early access donations are not planned. I like the idea though, if there is a bigger interest in early access let me know, we can think about that.
Q: Will the Global chat and CA chat be shared between the servers ?
A: Yes, GL-Freedom, CA Help and Trade will be shared between all servers. (Trade is a bit unlucky, but this is a WU standard. Maybe we can change that later.)
Q: What about the new hunting server, will we pour all the chat in a single "room" or separate them
A: GL-Freedom, CA Help and Trade will be shared between all servers. (Trade is a bit unlucky, but this is a WU standard. Maybe we can change that later.)
Q: If the GL and CA will be shared, should we have a nice Indicator from what server we speak?
A: Most chatrooms which are server related will have indicators to show which server you are currently on. eg. [12:00:10] <Sklo> (Nov) Test
Q: Where's the spawn point?
A: Spawnpoint will be somewhere at the southern part of the east coast.
Q: Is the spawn point built up or just a 5x5 flat area with signs "and good luck to you" ?
A: The spawn point will be similar to the style of Haven. A coastal well developed deed but noz too big. Public Mine, Horse signs and so on will be provided there.
Q: Will the seasons/date be the same between Liberty and Novus?
A: Time will be the same of course.
Q: What are the brown "wooded" areas on the map? (Not peat field area.)
A: Orange trees which aren't rendered corretctly by the mapdump tool yet.
Q: How about the priesting stuff? Will the altar of 3 be nearby?
A: The altar of three will be not too far away from the spawn, it will be possible to go there without swimming.
