The New World -Balance Changes-

Posted on August 6, 2014 by drakortha

I’ve made some changes to the map and gameplay to bring more theme and simplicity to our new medieval world.

Enchanting has been disabled on armors and weapons. Tools may still be enchanted!
Reduced Diamond Ores on the map. To compensate for lower resources, skeletons have small chance of dropping iron and zombies drop leather. Other goodies have rare chance
Reduced server render distance from 15 to 10 to decrease server load and lag.

And of course, a buff to hostile mobs for less survivability in dangerous areas. Bring your iron armor!

Buffed zombie toughness by 100% (20 health to 40)

New World – Map of the first day!

A render of the first day is now available for viewing at drakortha.info!

We are not going to update it again for some time, as it’s better everyone doesn’t know where everyone is all the time. However, I will update it whenever we do significant changes to the map (such as increasing border size). Enjoy!

What’s going on?

Posted on June 17, 2014 by drakortha

Oh no, TAW is down.. Yes, the server is dead. And yes, I’ll decide to revive it when I’m ready to take on that challenge. For the moment, I’m occupied with other things. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head, but none of them are nearly developed enough yet to do anything, so I need more time to think them over.

For the time being I am totally occupied by other large projects! But even so, TAW is on my mind. The world means many different things to different people, and that makes it kinda important to keep alive. I hope some of you reading feel the same way about it as I.

Regards,

New Continent Forming

Posted on May 26, 2014 by drakortha

I have returned to handcraft the new peaceful continent. This continent will be peaceful, with no PVP.

I’m happy with the way the cliffs turned out. Also, you can see my blueprints for trees below. Oh look, somebody has raped it already (hadn’t put in the white-list yet) The two first trees. Do you understand their message? The first monster mountain. To me, it looks like a zombie crawling towards me, one hand in-front of the other. Blueprint of the first forest is coming together. More detail and more mob-zones to come soon.

The Great Storm Draws Back!

The Great Storm Draws Back!

The great snow storm over the mainland has finally drawn back after what seemed like forever! We hope this blessing will give us enough time to recuperate and expand our dwellings on the surface. We must bring our own light to the world if we hope to quell the potential return of darkness!

The Great Underroad

Posted on April 21, 2014 by drakortha

A new road has been constructed, going all the way from the coastal road to Ironhammer and the portal chamber.

The Great Coastal Road

The Great Coastal Road

Constructed by the Eulorians, The Great Coastal Road connects the 2 most prevalent settlements on TAW at this time – Aduro & Torchlight.

(with conquest textures)

(now with Isabella texture pack. See, what’d I tell ya about those washed out colors? :P)

With the road completed, the respawn has been set to a new Gazebo just outside the city of Aduro. We hope this more “in-world” spawn will entice people to RP more because of the added immersion, and to bring more traffic to an already established city! So, how about a few drinks at the local tavern to celebrate?
