A New World: Forgotten Realms Anchorome

We have decided to stand up a new world using the ‘North American’ continent of Anchorome, which lies North of Maztica and West of Faerun. It has the benefit of having been developed on only the most basic ways.

Mechanically, it will feature some interested scripting for random terrain generation in wilderness areas, as well as other custom scripting.

It will be high fantasy yet uniquely American in flavor with elements of Lovecraft, weird west, steampunk and Chronomancer. It should be a lot of fun.

The world will be a Roleplay server that will strongly balance Action/PVE, PVP and Social. It will feature a large Battleground with take and hold points similar to those in an MMO.

Feel free to drop by our Discord and find out more. We are actively looking for scripters and world builders.

Most of our crew started on Arelith, so if you are an Arelith expatriate, stop by and look for something more balanced.

    Thanks to Omegon, we have discovered a version of Anchorome, a Persistent World from 2006, that is more or less fully ready to play.

    This will save us alot of work, and allow us to jump right in the the beefier parts of our project.

    After we ensure there are enough lowbie areas around Port Flame to keep things interesting, we will begin working on turning the Asgadi Forest into a massive, ever-shifting and challenging set of areas using random terrain generation scripts.

    So we expect to go live very soon...possibly by end of week.

    We enjoyed a successful server test last night and should be going beta within the week.

    We will be paying special attention to our early player experience, with a number of low level PVE areas nestled in and around the starting area of Port Flame appropriate for levels 1-5, complete with quests, bounties and supporting NPCs.

    We are of the opinion that the players’ initial experience should be smooth, fun and relatively easy, with plenty to do, and prefer not to waste gaming time by auto-leveling players to 3-7 to get them to a point where they can play.

    There will be at least 3 early PVE areas soloable even by mages resorting to melee, and the quests will be well thought out, fun and immersive.

    Here’s an updated invite to the Discord.

    We are still in beta. We’ve had to gut some of the areas and scripting from the original 2006 module to get it EE compatible but we have prett much hit that point and are now building back up.

    However, we want to have a more or less ‘final’ version of the haks and module before we go live.

    We are looking for world builders if anyone is interested in building out even just a few areas. We want folks who are passionate about their building even if it is just one dungeon or city.

    We are now in full beta, with no password protection.

    Characters will be transferred from beta when we go live.
