EO-Plus!

Hey all,

It's been a while. Figured I'd blog it up for a few minutes to announce a new Endless-Online project that is currently up and running.

Endless-Online Plus. http://www.eo-plus.com/

The server has been a long time coming from Arglon and I can tell you that it's fantastic. I'm slumming it in the low levels right now because of my recording schedule but I'm having a blast with it. This is Endless-Online how it could have been.

The great thing about this server is that it retains the old EO feel while tweaking the balancing issues, adding over 150 new quests, and having a place to go when you've finished off with the original maps.

Three things that make this server a must-play?

1. Everything has its place. This was the one thing that Vult-R never did - he never had a purpose or progression for maps. He just got some graphics together, slapped a road down, and there was a new map. Arglon has created a character progression arc that brings you from one map to the next through quests and leveling. You always have the feeling of moving forward while not rushing to fast or grinding too slow.

2. The same, but different. Arglon wasn't afraid to tinker with the maps so rather than being an Endless-Online clone you get an Endless-Online experience that is evolved and evolving. He's reworked the maps to make sense from a storytelling perspective which is fucking amazing.

3. PLUS! New graphics. New maps. A whole new adventure beyond the original tileset. Arglon has captured the spirit of Endless-Online by giving it that feeling of being truly Endless by adding all new content beyond the original experience. The thing that makes me want to play is that Arglon is paying attention to storytelling and plot arcs so we're not dealing with a clusterfuck of mashed content. The maps and the equipment make sense in the context of game play. (BU - you know I <3 you because you get community right but this is what you lack.)

So seriously - if you're reading this post - get your pixelated ass over to EO Plus. You'll be glad you did.

-W
