Kurathene is Live

Jonezie · Post by **Jonezie** » Mon May 15, 2006 6:26 am

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Kurathene Server is now live and availiable for play. The Kurathene Empire, once united under the rule of Joral Kuras, is now made up of a multitude of warring baronies, duchies and kingdoms, which compete for wealth, power, and the chance to reforge the empire and proclaim themselves Emperor. Most of these feifs are run by players, and anyone can join a fief and participate in the wars and politics of the Empire. Land will change hands, powers will rise and fall, and new heroes will be proclaimed. There's plenty more information on the forums and the wiki about what the server is, as well as its history, geography and politics. These are good starting points, but a search will reveal much much more:

http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=22387
http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=44345&highlight=

We're currently missing 2 fiefs - Trenium and Valorian, but these will be availiable shortly. Ther server is accesible from Kuras, and routes via other servers will become availiable very soon, when these servers are updated.

Connection Details:
Server: avlis.blackdagger.net:5128
Password: If you have not recieved an email with the password, you will shortly

Required Haks:
kurathene1_1 (kurathene1_1.rar)
kuras_temp + dracon_temp (Dracon_temp.rar)
cfr_cg04_1.30 (CR_H.rar)
tw010 (tw010_CCS368.rar)
fortress (Fortress040.rar)
tmtilesets-v91b (TM-Tilesets-v91B.rar)
rocky_mountains (Rocky_Mountains.rar)
jxp_mountains (JXPHak.rar)

Most of these haks are required for at least one other Avlis server, so you will likely have many of them already. Any that you do not have are available here:

There are many many many people who contributed to this project. It was a massive undertaking, and I'd like to thank them for the countless hours that they have put in to make sure that it is a success. I won't list everyone from each team - the fief lords can tell you who they had to help them out, but my most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in any way.

The Credits:
Czarcasm: Lead Warcoder and Lead builder of Osannia. Czarc has done a truly outrageous amount of work on the warcode and related systems, as well as building much of the Osannia fief.
Thalarian: Our Senior DM, Thal has been instrumental in keeping us organized and getting us ready to go live.
PlasmaJohn: Once again, we couldn't have done it without his support.
GHENGIZ, Praetor, TripleAught and MondoPotato: The Kurathene DM staff have contributed a great deal behind the scenes.

Fief Lords/Lead Builders:
BigDaddy037 - Cytheria
Denor Firefly - Calazeria
Fuzz - Servator
JollyOrc - Medec
Krator - Julaspium. Krator also developed a number of other systems used in various fiefs, worked on the Kurathene hak, and built areas for Crullath and Halstead
MondoPotato - Pylatea
Nob - Trenium
The Nomad - Halstead
Vian - Valorian

Subcontractors:
Arvanos - Havoulov and Wyrmslayer

Also thanks to the #Kurathene IRC people, as well as anyone who jumped into the beta to help us test things.

Enjoy
- J

Btw: Medec is currently suffering under the ineffective and potentially hazardous rule of Janur da Medican.

If you think you're a likely candidate, PM me.
