As mentioned in our announcement which we emailed to all of our users, we have finally managed to get a fully working private server up, we have still got a long way to go before we release it to people other than our developers, yet in such a short time of getting our server running, we've progressed a lot more than we were expecting.

It has been a very long journey but now we are finally at the point of opening our servers to the public, however to avoid confrontation it will only be open for Closed BETA sign ups, after those sign ups have finished, nobody else, no matter how far down the line, will be able to make an account or access our servers.

Unlike previous servers we have released, Rappelz is not OpenSource, nor do we have a license to host it, which is why we will only have it open to the people who we get, and people who are referred to me directly, such as friends or family of current players that would like to play.

We have also decided to move the release date of the Closed BETA to June 10th, we will be accepting sign ups any time before that time of release.

We will be hosting an Epic VI: Part I version of Rappelz until we figure out how to update it to Epic VII: Part II, however, since it has taken us this long to make any sort of progress in making the server, we're not too worried about that.

The Client needed for playing on our server will be provided at the end of this post, where we will also provide a launcher bypass to access our server.

Bellow are detailed descriptions of our progress on the server and items we will release.

Reward Cloaks

Although the Rank VII cloaks have been released in the gPotato Hosted servers of Rappelz Epic VII, they did not release 160 cloaks, which have been around on the European servers for a while, as there wasn't any need to bring them out for the International servers, due to there being only a couple of people that were close to that level, however on our server, we're expecting a lot of people to be getting to 160, so we will be excited in releasing the European Award Cloak for players on our server that hit Lv 160.

Bag Tailor Merchants
Posted Image
Everyone knows how frustrating it is when you have a lot of things to carry around with you and it weighs you down, which is why we will be releasing a Bag Tailor in every town which allows you to buy a Small Quilted Bag, Large Quilted Bag or Big Yak Skin Bag for your character to equip, so that you can enjoy playing Rappelz without having to visit the Warehouse after every Dungeon Party.

More Details Found at the bottom of this thread!

Legal Notice
 
This Private Server will remain closed to the public and only open to users who have been with us for a long time, referred by a veteran player or got lucky in winning a prize draw, we will not be asking for donations from Rappelz users to keep our server running, as we get plenty of income from our other services.

  • Character Names not showing fully to other people
  • Hair Textures Missing
  • 80% of Field & Dungeon Mobs Missing (Fixed)
  • Certain NPC names appear as empty strings
  • Hidden Village Pass Unusable (Fixed)
  • Opening World Map (ALT + M) crashes the client. (Fixed)


Additional Information

  • Before launching Rappelz, please be sure to go to the folder the SFrame.exe is located in and open up RappelzConfig.exe to change your screen size and settings, as you will be unable to change the settings in-game until you've changed the screen size to match your monitors.

  • This server is strictly private and is not open to the public, people that did not sign up on the days we provided will be unable to join the server unless referred by a current player or GM.

  • Developers are continuously working on the database so random crashes are to be expected, however if the crashes become too frequent we will shut down the server until the issue has been resolved.

  • While in Trainee's Island, you will notice that not all surfaces can be clicked on, meaning you can get stuck in certain areas, clicking around the screen, such as on the sky should help with you moving around the Island, however this issue is only on Trainee's Island, once you're in the mainland, you should have no further problems.

  • If you come across bugs which have not yet been listed, or have gotten stuck and cannot move, shout in global chat for a GM to assist you, and we will list the bugs that have been found.

  • Please withdraw from filling up your inventory with 20 or more rows of items as it may cause the server to crash whenever logging in to your character, if that is the case, the character will be deleted and items won't be restored.

  • Remember that this is a server that's still in Alpha stages, not BETA, so bugs are expected and loss of items and characters are imminent, so please refrain from complaining about something going missing.


WARNING: DO NOT GO THROUGH DUNGEON PORTALS WITHOUT RETURN SCROLLS
There is an issue where Dungeon Portals do not appear on the inside of dungeons, if you enter a dungeon, you will be stuck and will have to be manually moved by a GM, however GMs will not be online throughout all hours of the day, so just withdraw from entering them all together until we have solved the issue.

EDIT: Most of the issues concerning entering dungeons has been fixed, but if you do wish to enter a dungeon, make sure that you've got Return Scrolls on you, if not, and you get stuck - please wait for a GM to assist you.

You can contact GMs outside of the game by posting on the Reboot facebook page or by emailing support at SupportMMO@live.co.uk

This is all of the changes that have been made up to Monday, August 1st 2011 for Reboot -- More Changes are to come!

NOTE: The Server IP and launcher will not be released publicly until the server (and the developers) have been stress tested and set to meet the recommended level of stability.

However, we are hoping to have the server up and running for public use within the next couple of weeks, as right now, all we need to do is test the server stability and scout for any bugs or glitches that we will attempt to fix.

The Client & Launcher Downloads have been updated and you can now access our Private Server!
You can find them at the bottom of this post.


Developer Comments:

The team working on this project have been working super hard over the past few weeks to get the servers up and running and more stable than they were last month before the project was brought to a temporary close.

Everything that had been bugging both the development team and the players, have been fixed -- Such as the Lag from levelling skills, buying items from merchants and upgrading items at the blacksmith, so people can now freely go about and do whatever without the fear or lagging out other people and being blamed for any issues with the server.

We are still not sure about depositing money into warehouses, so please - there's no need to put money on different characters, as every time the server restarts all characters will be funded 9,000,000,000 Rupees.

Other than that, the server is definitely more stable than it was in the past, and more stable than we would of ever hoped for, we've fixed all issues with both character and pet skills, so they now work with their proper functions, the skills now also have their correct cool down timers and do not cool down instantly any more as we believed that it really took the challenge out of the private server, making the fun die down rather quickly.

Downloads

Client Download (1.8 GB)
Launcher Download (1.52 MB)


Please remember to place our Launcher in the AgeOfRappelz folder, otherwise you won't be able to access the server we are hosting, and your login information will be invalid - and PLEASE view the Read Me file that explains everything client side.
______________________________

Please Note that the database was wiped and all accounts that were made before August 1st have been removed and login information will be provided to individuals by staff by random selection until the server has been briefly tested by other players.

However, you can send an email to Itoki@live.co.uk and ask to have an account, giving your name and date of birth, where you will receive a reply from a member of staff giving you your new login details.

Just keep in mind that not every one that sends an email will obtain login information at this time.
