Icarus - Official Post
 

Let me start off by saying I'm not here to get flamed.

The Graal community requested more information when I posted a while back, but we were only getting started at the time. Icarus has moved a long way since then, so I thought I'd come back and let everyone know how we are doing, and where we are going.

Icarus is not your average modern, nor is it a look alike. We intend to include everything and anything from a modern-fantasy world. When I say fantasy, I mean that we have been working on purchasable mechs, and quests to unlock hidden player potential (magic?). :) Magic on a modern? It can be done. :) Like I said, I'm not here to be flamed so don't start, just wait to see. We are set up with a 1500 level overworld, which includes 4 different islands that have different geology. Our goal is to accomodate everyone, without branching off into different time periods or worlds.

Fantasy aside, we also intend to make the server as real and involved as possible. For instance, the economy is under the works to include inflation, and interest earning investments in the stock market. Industrial suppliers will recieve raw materials, then supply smaller businesses they need to make their products. Every business will be purchasable by players, big or small. Note that the biggest difference you will see here is that everything has a background or back story, aka a point to existance. The server will have substance rather than PK only. No mistakes however, there is a very strong combat/pk base as well.

Our current server name is Icarus Dev, so if you have gold, feel free to stop by. I'm open to questions and ideas, but once again, no flames please. I'd like to know what else players would like to see here.

Thanks.

Personally I think it looks really good and has some great borrowed/original ideas. Go for it.

some more pics for those that can't log on
these are some shots of the city, wellington, and the new itemsys.
chatsys is still being developed. When its done, it'll be transparent and use better coloring. :)

body ganis are about 80% complete thanks to Hachi, you can now use clothing items including jewelry(note G's bling) :)

Keep up the great work. I like it.

Very Nice.....

Very nice, I love the tileset.

Looks nice, lovin' the beach

Nice work dude, and team, i really like the way this server is looking, dont give up ^_^ Pure potential.

Cool I guess, even though id probobly rather play era since it would have a faster pace considering your used gk bodies rofl. o and your cliffs look pretty bad, other than that its looks pretty good.

I agree, but they're not GK bodies.
