OldSchool 2006 like Server - Abaddon Kal
Hiho!
Today I want to present our OldSchool Kal P-Server Abaddon to you.
Why OldSchool Kal?
We loved playing Kal back in 2006 before it got more and more systematically destroyed by Inixsoft. And ever since the 3rd JC was implemented, the game was doomed.
What was so special about Kal? It wasn’t the graphics or outstanding gameplay, it was simply the community. Being forced to arrange yourself with other people to avoid KS, spotstealing or DLs. Trusting the listkeeper in D1R3 to call you when your partyslot is finally free, sitting on the SpeedRamp in front of Temp and doing Duels and chatting with strangers for hours, or uniting in TS on Saturday to listen to legendaryheart screaming instructions for CW furiously, before it became just running up the pyra via eagle-hide and then SpinSplash down the Flag. Times where you were able to contribute in CW at lvl 30 by giving small but existing dmg to higher lvl players, before the PvP system got “updated.” And last but not least, it was very relaxed to play. While grinding in D3F6 (because that’s what it is in the end, pure grinding) you could watch TV, stream the newest Episode of Scrubs, listen to music or get to know your guildmates better in TS.
Of course it was not all happiness & joy. The Korean servers lagged a lot, screwed hours and hours of playing up or gave you CL always in the wrong moments. And the downward spiral continued day for day. Every new dungeon made the previous one redundant regarding both: drops and exp. Thief, Shaman, F10, HL mob changes and more and more pay2win items destroyed the game. People quitted, leftover people leeched for money or built their own team due multi accounting. In the end, everybody played solo. And by “playing” I mean sitting and waiting for the 3rd JC skill to cool down, to press the button again.
As far as I know, todays Kal ist just happening in D6, almost the complete rest of the game is empty. Naraeha and Hanin merged, it’s just a matter of time until the servers are going finally offline. Recently we heard of the "Training Center" on int. Which sounds like a weird joke to me and like the last step of KalOnlines downfall. The only left next step is: Pay 100€ to start at lvl 75.
So our dream was to revive the ClassicKal community on a beautiful Classic Server, but yet, there were none.
After we were searching a lot for such a server in here and on TopKal but didn't find anything, we decided to try it on our own.
We started in October and are currently in closed Alpha phase. Probably in March we will continue with the BETA Test phase.
What we have:
- 3 Characters: Archer, Mage, Knight
- EXP Rate x2
- Slightly increased Int like Droprate
- Skilling at Skillmasters only
- Old PvP Formula
- Only D1, D2 and D3 at start. D4 and Emok will be added later. Maybe more.
- New Aggro System (you don’t have to click every mob)
- Old Highland mobs (for Mages to IR, not for GoS to spin)
- Old Devil Beach
- Old Doggi Beach
- Old Mad Knight village
- Old Cities incl. Old Temp with old wooden Temp Gate
- OFC this server is going to be longterm, so the slow progress pays off and the community can grow
- Blub System enabled
- Int like Teleport system with teleports in your inventory, you can buy at merchant (Yes you will have to
walk in every city at least once!)
- No Starter NPC. Players will get a small starter pack with some speed ups and small meds (not exactly
decided what it contains yet)
- SBWB Droprate is quite high, so speed up crafting is not a problem once you reached the speed up cook
in Temp
- ASSAs will drop stuff
- Fishing will be lvl 30+ to prevent players from creating multiple accounts for it
- Multiple clienting will be limited anyway (exact number not decided yet)
What we don't have:
- No 3rd JC (at start)
- No FoE (At start)
- No TOP (At start)
- No VoD (At start)
- No Dailies
- No Thief
- No Shaman
- No DSS/QIGONG
- No Riding
- No pets
- No mining
- No crafting
- No custom areas/weapons/skins/skills/armors
- No F1 Port system
- No Reborn system
- No Trigrams
- No Nirvana
- No PoH (at start)
- No Auction House
- No Mission letters (no DWDH farming from 20-35)
- No Dungeon ports
- No Tab Target
- No Auto attack
- No rental system
- No costumes
- No weapons skins
- No autopick
- No Trainingcenter
- No KC Items at Fishing
What Abbadon is supposed to be
We started creating the server in September 2018 and followed the famous try & error way.
Our aim was to convey the KalOnline around 2006 experience, but as lagfree, bugfree and hacksafe as possible.
This server wasn’t created for the usual private server experience. It’s a low rate- OldSchool server to relive Kal as it used to be. It wasn’t made to become lvl 70/100/255 in one day, donate money for max stuff, sin some nubs, insult some people, get banned, attack the server/GMs and leave for the next one. If you want to lvl fast or experience custom areas, monsters or weapons and armors, running around in with g30 speed, having every scroll activated nonstop, then this is the wrong place for you.
This is supposed to be the whole ClassicKal experience. We want to revive the still-willing part of the the old community, actually having fun in the game and help each other. This Server is for D1R0 PA parties, it’s for D1R3 splashy parties, it’s for staying 2 weeks in D4, single spot to finally drop some g50, it’s for D3F6 WB Parties, D2 Eggparties and finally storming A or K Zerks. This is for people actually having fun reaching lvl 34 to finally splash the Ghosts for Beads and shall bring joy if you drop your first g 46 part.
It’s planned as a long term server, so the slow progress pays off.
