Development update

November 23rd, 2009

Dear NLR players,

As most of you know before NL went down we were working on NL-97.

NL-97 means Neverlands Reborn on the pol 97 core. This gives us great new stuff, like path-finding for npcs, new gumps, newest client, all the worlds in UO (can be used also for new huge dungeons etc.).

We also strongly believe this will stop the resync problems we have at the moment. This was tested successfully before old NL went down.

NL-97 was almost ready for beta. The biggest thing we had to do was balancing skill-gains and pvp as it is with nl95 now; the main thing that makes Neverlands Reborn unique over all the other shards around.

Also of course we have to re-spawn everything, make nexus again, etc.

We will finish our last projects and bug fixes for NLR-95.

After that we will start the development of NLR-97 again.

If anyone disagrees on this, they are more then welcome to open a topic on forums to discuss the matter. Or simply contact head developer Battousai.

Regards,
Development team

Recent Happenings on Neverlands

November 19th, 2009

Greetings,

Recently the “speedhacking”/resync issue has become extremely prevalent on Neverlands,  so allow me to take this moment to remind you that using ANY program to give yourself an advantage outside of the original game mechanics is completely illegal and will lead to banning.  The rules will be modified shortly to reflect this change, however take this as your official notice that these actions will be not be tolerated.

Although the two players who took the brunt of this investigation have been removed from game play; staff’s investigation is not over.  We are aware of many others who utilized these methods and you will be dealt with accordingly.   The two players in question who were banned will not be scapegoats for every other hypocrite who did the same thing.

Regards,
NL Staff

Server warp this morning

November 19th, 2009

Dear players.

Out of my hand we warped back 30 minutes this morning. LeaseWeb (our server provider) activated our Windows Server 2008 license on the server which needed a reboot. The support guy accidentally made this reboot without notifying us.

I am sorry this happened.

Later today we will come with a news post which cover recently activity on Neverlands.

Thanks.

Be fan of Neverlands Reborn

NPC Changes

November 5th, 2009

Please be advised that the NPC File (Which contains stats, loot, skills etc.) is currently under review.  Several changes are being made in order to balance specific areas, as well as add new challenges.

I would suggest that a bit of experimenting should occur between players and NPCs to avoid any losses. 

Regards,

Neverlands Staff

Attention!

Rule Changes:

Please be advised that the act of houselooting has now been made legal on Neverlands.  Please take caution in regards to who you let into your house, and how you use your secure chests. 

Note:  Gaining access to households utilizing any form of bug is still considered bug exploiting and will result in a shardwide ban.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact a staff member.

Server successfully moved!

October 23rd, 2009

Hello everyone.

We successfully moved the server to the new location. All files and data survived.

The IP and port will remain: uo.neverlandsreborn.org,5003

It seems like the new server really did help on the lag – all donations have so far gone to this server. On Monday I will see if it is possible to negotiate some more RAM to be installed in the server. We need at least 1GB more.

Please be advised that Gamemaster Blackfire and Gamemaster Jotex are no longer members of the Neverland’s Reborn staff team. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

More updates soon.

New dedicated server

October 19th, 2009

Finally great news!

In the attempt to fix the lag issue in some parts of the world, I have made a deal with the company I am hired in. They bought a dedicated server located in Amsterdam, Holland and they have given us access to it. The server is quite expensive, so I hope you players will help us keep the server running with your donations. The last thing we want is to overrun the website and forums with advertisements.

We ordered the server today and according to LeaseWeb’s website it should be ready in 3-5 business days. By then we need to close the current server and move everything to the new one. It should not take long, but expect a few hours downtime.

The server specifications are:

Server: Dell PE 860
CPU: 1x Intel Dual Core Xeon 3050
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Harddisk : 1 x 160GB SATA2
Operationsystem: Windows Server 2008 Web Edition with
Connection:1 x 100Mbps Full-Duplex
Traffic: 4000GB traffic/month

We really hope this will fix the lag issue and I hope you will help us running it.

Thank you :-)
