N-Pulse Rebirth
 

Hey Everyone! I have decided to announce the updated plans for N-Pulse Rebirth. First off, I know Rebirth has been a long time waiting for many of us; therefore, it has been decided to release Rebirth in selective segments. The first segment will be released soon hopefully if development continues as scheduled (*crosses fingers*). The first release will allow players to get a taste of Rebirth and help management determine whether the concept of Rebirth will be widely accepted or not. As some of you may or may not know, the concept of Rebirth is a server that will be appealing to both Classic and RPG players. Players will be able to choose whether or not to play Rebirth as a classic character, RPG character, or both. Below is a list of the plans for Rebirth. Please be aware that these plans may be tweaked and changed as we move forward with developing and releasing Rebirth. Player input will be greatly appreciated (and desired) while we start off the project.

Classic
There will be classic quests, events, spars, and specific classic PK levels for players to enjoy. Classic hearts, shield levels, and sword levels will be obtained by completing the classic quests on the server. These will not influence or interfere with the RPG aspect of your character and will allow classic N-Pulse players to continue to do what they originally enjoyed on this server.

RPG
Rebirth will also have RPG leveling, quests, spars, and will be the major type of PKing on the over world. We will also most likely have RPG events later on in the development of Rebirth. There will be no classes, stat system, or level cap. This will allow players to create their own unique character and not be put under restrictions as to what weapons, spells, or armor they can use. Players will be able to level by killing baddies or PKing other players. There will be a steep experience curve as a player levels, and each level earned will increase the damage done by their weapons; however, leveling will be limited to its overall effect on the player, as we want to encourage a server in which any player can log on and enjoy himself without hardcore grinding. HP and defense will not be affected by level. Armor is obtainable in complete sets and will give a slight boost to player defense. Players will also be able to use spells, with certain restrictions on what they may or may not use as weapons. Baddies will drop items and “Baddy Weapons” which logically fit in to who they are rather than just magically summoning gold upon their eminent death.

Jobs
Rebirth will feature a variety of jobs for players to obtain money. Each job will have its own mastery system for you to level. There will be a level cap for jobs. The higher a player’s level, the more money they will be able to make. As a player travels the over world, they will come upon other jobs that will provide a higher amount of profit. Therefore, it is in a player’s best interest to explore the over world rather than staying in one town the whole time.

Guild Houses/Player Houses
As we continue development on Rebirth we will allow guilds to purchase guild houses and players to purchase player houses. There will be a weekly rental fee to keep the guild house or player house on the server. If a player or guild fails to pay their rental fee, their house will be closed off and they will be given 2 weeks to re-claim their house before their location is put back on the market. Guild houses will cost more than player houses because it is expected that the members of the guild will pitch in and help pay the fee. The exact pricing and limitations on levels for guilds and player houses has not been determined yet.

Weather and Day/Night Systems
Rebirth will have Day/Night System which will go by “Rebirth time” and not real time. This system will influence when certain features will be available to the player. For example, if it is very late at night in Rebirth time, a shop may be closed and the player will have to wait till the morning comes to go inside and purchase items. This is just an example of what the system may influence. A weather system will also be implemented that will feature, wind, rain, tornadoes, and snow.

First Release
The first release of Rebirth will feature two towns, Tampus and Orleak. These towns are where players will begin their journey and will be limited to these towns only for Rebirth’s initial release. Tampus will feature two baddy dungeons for players to begin leveling in. Players will be able to obtain beginner weapons, armors, and spells. Tampus will essentially be a RPG Town, while Orleak will be a Classic Town. Within Orleak there will be one classic quest for players to complete for an extra heart. A fishing job will be available for players to obtain money and master in. Both towns will include their own spar house. Tampus will have a RPG spar; Orleak will be Classic sparring. The OnlineLevelEditor (OLE) building will be located in Tampus. A Guild Wars activity/event will also be released. Player Houses and Guilds Houses will not be accepted in the initial release. Last, the release will include the weather, as well as day/night systems.

N-Pulse’s management and development departments are hoping to release different parts of the over world one at a time when they are completed so players will be able to grow with the server and experience new features that will keep them entertained. However, the only problem is that N-Pulse needs more developers! We are currently limited to only a few developers and more would help the development go much faster. We need hard working developers from the areas of NAT, LAT, and Special Effects (gani, sound, and effect artists). We have enough GATs at the moment. I hope you all will enjoy the first release of Rebirth and the concept/idea that has been laid out for it.

Holy philosoraptorjesussaurusrex This is awesome.

Btw first post just to say that you guys will not be disappointed.

sexyness.
icannotwait.

Sounds nice. Cant wait to see the changes.

That's good, I'm gonna breathe down kay's neck to make sure it gets done!

Than ill probably be disconnected from RC :P

Looks great, can not wait to see what it's really like, best of like to you.

So dark levels, I can bearly see anything o.o

They are not all like this I can assure you.

Don't know why it turned out like this, possibly the day/night system, or my photo editor turned it black. :p

The outside screen shot was taken when it was becoming night in Rebirth so that is why the level looks a bit darker. Also, the added border line around the screen shot may make it look a bit darker than usual. The inside level is supposed to be dark but as Flamerus stated, not all of the levels will be dark so no worries :D

Basically what kay said.

Kay I have big expectations for NP to become as good as it was before, however, lets see if you can get it done.

Therefore, I'll tell you

GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCKGOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCKGOOD LUCKGOOD LUCKGOOD LUCKGOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK

Your expectations will be satisfied then!

N-Pulse used to be a really fun Classic styled server around 2002 I think. A few remakes and spinoffs later, after the playercount died on it, another spinoff is incoming.

Well from what we've read I think its safe to assume we'll get a pretty good looking outcome :) What do you guys think?

I don't like the idea of swords that deal additional damage or defensive armor sets.

Please Elaborate.

Grinding, buying equipment, equippable swords/armors..

It's not NPulse :(

Agreed.

Why should a player not be able to gain additional bonus for getting stronger?

I mean doesnt the use of a weapon get better as you do?

And I think having defensive armor is kinda ya know.... A good thing.

Considering otherwise we'd be like UN but instead of hats just weapons... WEAPONS WEAPONS.

You're right it isn't N-Pulse.
But it IS N-Pulse Rebirth.

Let me assure you that it will stand out from Zodiac/Maloria or any other RPG server, we have more of a classic feel to it.

Doubt that we will have a surplus of weapons/spells.

Another thing that I'm going to bring up with the Rebirth Development Admin's is that I want it to be all about equality.

Unlike Zodiac, my point is to actually let players fight upon skill, and not about whos armor is better. I don't want to go too much into detail because it's not grounded yet. I just want a level of equality throughout the server.

But that's something we have to discuss as said.

No it's not N-Pulse but N-Pulse is going no where as is so we have to try something else out.

Graal isnt the same as it used to be. It's either move up, or move on IMO.
Classic Graal just isnt going to get it anymore all these years later...

Level grinding isn't even planned, hell there's actually a plan to make sure that DOESN'T happen.

I agree with what Moonie is saying. I myself have always been more of a classic player but the reality is that classic-based servers have been dying out for awhile. Players are no longer satisfied with classic servers because after quests the only activities left are sparring, events, and random or guild-related PKing. These, at least in my experience, are fun for awhile but get boring/old as you spend more time on the server. With Rebirth we are trying to keep that traditional classic feel while also adding a small RPG spin to make the server more interesting and fun for players.

Okay, so you say there will be RPG leveling. With no level cap. And stat upgrades, but only a few, as to retain the Classic feel.

What makes you think that with only a few weapons, leveling without a level cap, which essentially means that once you get past a certain point it's pointless to continue leveling, as there can't be an unlimited amount of worthwhile rewards for leveling, since you've already stated strenth and defense will only recieve slight increases, the server will be any more perpetual than your standard Classic server..? To me it sounds like you're too lazy to populate your world with high-quality quests released every few weeks, and would rather have some half-assed RPG system perpetuate your playercount. Other games have done it; why not you guys?

It should either be 100% Classic or 100% RPG, not something that looks like a two-year old scripted it in 2001 with the default health, movement, hit detection, but with an XP bar and equippable replaceani swords.

Thanks for your delightful opinion, we will take note of it.. and end up throwing it away later on.

lol imp.

If you guys would have read the introduction to this thread.

I believe my point stands clear unless you cannot read.
But to be quite clear, this is definitely something quite unique.

will be "reborn" as something it never was before. nice.

Developing a new server should be something as a side project, which should really be developed elsewhere and not even called npulse. Developing an improvised server from the original server is a main project.

Still waiting on those updates to the main server.

Well you cant expect rebirth to mean completely the same right? Something obviously will change. And this is a BIG change.

I also believe your supposed to intake the word rebirth in the sense you would with Reincarnation.

Are you born the same thing? No.

As we told you last night when you came on to just start drama if you don't like it you have the choice to NOT log onto N-Pulse but a different server. You are bent just on causing drama. If you would actually read the main post an update to the main server is coming with the initial release of Rebirth. And just because we don't feel the need to post about every little detail about what we are doing doesn't mean nothing is being done.

N-Pulse will rise again! <3

Amen, and i'm almost positive Kay got her point across with her initial post.

As usual whenever N-Pulse staff want to release information, they will. If anyone is that concerned about N-Pulse and it's development/projects, apply for a staff position, and make change. Closed.
