What is Project Rebirth? And what does it aim to do?
I have heard this question too many times, and I've answered it a thousand more. But the blame is also partially mine. Project Rebirth has grown from just being a simple cleanup to an entire expansion and revival of N-Pulse lore.
What it aims to do is enrich the loose N-Pulse atmosphere by introducing a more organized plot, setting, and theme. Yes, it'll feel different than what you're use to right now, but it'll be a "good" different.
Any oldbie to N-Pulse will recognize the setting to a degree. I didn't go off on a tangent and make everything from scratch.
My intention was to take several plots and themes from past management and tie them together. For example, our new storyline will actually make our completely random server description accurate and not random! *gasp*
Well what kind of genre is it? Classic? RPG?
I intend for it to be neither, but it may end up feeling like a little bit of both.
I want to go for the "Adventure" feeling. I want it to feel like a world with consequences, something you can immerse yourself in. No, I don't want you to roleplay. I want you to be yourself. I want to challenge your moral character, I want you to believe and feel for the characters around you.
Basically, I want to make something rarely seen on Graal. However, I want to preserve the fundamentals of old N-Pulse. So Events, Spar Zones, and even classic PK will remain perfectly preserved in their classical nature. Think of them as "minigames" used to take the stress of new atmosphere off the player. So basically, when you're tired of questing and killing ****, go play some events old school style. We'll even have an option for classical styled guild wars :3
What is the story/plot/theme of Rebirth?
I'll have to explain this in another thread. The story and theme is much too large to try to explain it here.
Release date PLX!
Sorry I can't give you one. I and the people under me are entirely made up of volunteers. Progress rates are unstable at best, but it WILL be released.
How will this affect classic NPCs and will there be a reset?
There will be a reset of all player accounts. You will lose all NPCs and gralat. I hopefully intend to preserve EC, but I cannot make promises. Most classic NPCs will still be around, some might be turned into spells and will no longer be classic npcs. But Pokey Stick will definitely be around! (Some annoying NPCS like spirit bomb will be completely removed.)
So you see this real badass evil player character that you don't like in a nonpkzone, what do you do? Poke him with the Pokey Stick of course! :-p
In fact, we've set it up where you can select classic NPCs for either D or F key, and it shows up on the new HUD.
Player Killing? How will that work?
The exact details have yet to be worked out. But the majority of it has been planned.
It is unlikely that PKing a player will affect your alignment. It'd be too easy to max out that way.
All towns will be nopkzones. That means you can go about your business in an orderly fashion while in town.
However, outside of towns - in the wilderness... all is fair game.
Final words?
Don't look at Project Rebirth and think, "oh cool a new server!"
Because it's not a new server. It's simply an expansion that revamps the server into a more professionally organized theme.
Once Rebirth is released, you will still be able to do anything you can do now (except classic pk outside of the classic areas)
In fact, you can ignore the whole damn thing and idle for old times sake. Although you'd be missing out
Bottom line:
Project Rebirth is not a new server, but a server expansion of content where normally you'd just idle for hours.
