Hey everyone!
I've been a huge fan of the Fork line of servers going all the way back to like 2003 or 2004. I spent a huge amount of time in my childhood playing on this server - specifically Fork West that went through a few different hands.
Through all the years of the GameSpy service being down, I managed to get my hands on a copy of the module, and I've been sitting on it for a long time. When EE came out, I started playing again on my own hosted server just intending to play solo and enjoy the nostalgia alone.
My best friend, Havok, and I talked and we decided it would be cool if we could host and build upon Fork to sort of modernize and add some QoL stuff to make it more agreeable with.. first of all being an adult with a job that cant spend 10 hours a day... but also make it a little more comfortable with the way gamers game today.
The standard layout of Fork was always the central town, with paths north, east, south, and west. North being the low level area, East being up from that, the South and West being the 20-40+ region of the world. We adjusted the level ranges of those area to be more forgiving, and have a little bit less of a sweaty gameplay experience... you can reach higher levels and stay in the same area to make it a little less of a hair-pull-out experience.
We also increased loot a good bit, it was super frustrating to run a whole dungeon, barely survive a boss fight, being salivating over the big shiny boss chests behind him... just to loot a moderate heal potion, 10 gold, and a studded leather armor. With this adjustment, you at least feel like you achieved a win, you got a reward.
Fork uses the mystic forge, which allows you to use looted tokens to modify your gear. Previously, tokens would only drop rarely... it was a challenge for sure, but sometimes, again... you'd go to extreme lengths and a whole bunch of time just to get nothing. We increased token drops from boss monsters and chests... we also implemented "token fragments" that can net you extra tokens when cashed in at the forge.. 6 fragments and a bit of gold gets you 1 whole token.
Havok has also been hard at work implementing some high level endgame gear involving the dragons, their lairs, and forging that I think will be a really cool challenge late game to make the grind fun and engaging.
So... check us out!
Module name is Stick a Fork in Me Northeast/Fork Northeast. We're persistent and running 24/7... pve with dedicated areas for pvp... starting on a solid base of a world that used to be very popular, and building towards a more modern experience.
Both of us are around daily and actively working on the server as well as playing. We miss the community that Fork used to have around it, and we'd love to be able to reclaim a little population of friends and inhabitants of our world.
