Hala Grand Openning!

Post by pitched_black » Sat Jul 26, 2003 4:29 pm

On Monday, Hala is going to be officially open. This does not mean that we are linked with Avlis, this will come a little later. Avlis is supposed to be going SoU sometime in the near future but currently, I have no plans to do so. SoU feats, spells, prestige classes, etc. will be available but SoU will not be required to log in.

To kick things off, we are going to be doing a big DM quest on wednesday at 12am GMT. For conversions, that's 8pm my time and this was posted at close to 1:30pm my time.

If you have any more questions about this, feel free to post in the Hala forums @ http://hala.proboards21.com/index.cgi .

To get the password, either e-mail me @ pitched_black@hotmail.com with Hala somewhere in the subject, PM me here or IM me in the Hala forums.

I have a very detailed post in the hala forums about how to download the Hak Paks @ http://hala.proboards21.com/index.cgi?b ... 1058970382 .


The IP for the ftp, if you just want to do it that way, is ftp://24.224.162.19 . Waiting for me to get an application is a perfect time to be downloading these hak paks.

For those of you who volunteered to log in as beta testers, the password will not change.

If your going through withdrawl like I was hop on over to Hala, its a great server and has many things in common with Avlis and alot that isn't! Its worth a look, I promise!

I ran around in it for about an hour or so. It is a big place with a beautiful layout. Good job pitched!

I ran about it a lot last night, very different feel to Avlis but at the same time very similar systems in place. It made an interesting change of place and is somewhere for me to try out a totally new chracter concept. I can see me splitting my time between both Hala and Avlis now, which will be nice when the linkup comes. I just look forward to there being more people on Hala to RP with. Talking to myself isnt the best :)

If I ever see anyone on, I'll log in with my char. and we can RP a little as we test a few things here and there (it isn't monday yet...). I logged in as soon as I saw you on today but I was seconds too late.

If SoU prestige classes are available in your world, how will that be handled when you eventually link up with Avlis? Some things with them could be changed on our end, and are still going through balance testing. This is more of a question for admins on both sides.

We will not link up until sometime after Avlis at least starts to go SoU. I had assumed that they were going to enable the prestige classes then but if they don't or if they are going to be edited first, something will be worked out. Most likely I'll change to Avlis' system.

For now though, don't worry about it and play your character however you want.

It's pretty simple. If you are playing a prestige class already on Avlis, you will be able to select levels in that class on Hala, in much the same way that some people were able to take levels of Shadow Dancer on Avlis even though we are not running SoU.

Since Hala shares a hakpak with us, it should work, theoretically. Since Hala is not SoU, you will not be able to START one of those prestige classes on Hala. I'm hoping it works this way but only time will tell.

Hala is an important element in fullfilling the confederation dream. Mapping out and fleshing all the outer and inner planes, each with a PW server, is something I really want done.

Sorry - Midnight GMT is 1 am here. Work tomorrow, so too late.

Maybe at the weekend?

Or I am on leave (vacation) from friday for two weeks, so who knows?

lol, one player joined a little early and had four or five DMs on his ass for about half an hour. Needless to say his quest was extremely confusing... and he walked everywhere he went too! Poor guy...

It's a little bit past the grand openning but we're having another, improved DMed quest and I'd like it if some of you guys come out to see how things are going! If you don't have the password yet, you can still e-mail me at pitched_black@hotmail.com and I'll send it out to ya!

The post about this is at http://hala.proboards21.com/index.cgi?b ... 1059975377 on the Hala forums but it mostly just says that it's going to be on Wednesday the 6th at 2200GMT.

Hope to see you all there!

Just a thought, since it's pretty half-assed atm... :wink:

On the subject of your website, could we please have the option to change the colour scheme?

The default one hurts my eyes.

Also, the time that your quest starts is 23:00 here. However, as I am on holiday, I might be able to make it.

If you want the website updated, bitch at Alandric, lol. But make sure to thank him afterwards for me! If I'm going to update the website, I'll make it all white and have two links on it. Forums and Map. Now you can't say that how it is isn't better?
