I'm excited to announce the first alpha of our DragonSoul emulator, and we're looking for testers!
DragonSoul (龙魂) shut down at the end of 2012, and it hasn't been playable since. Old School Operations (OSO) wrote a new server from scratch for the original 2011-12-12 client, so this game can live again.
Please be aware this is an alpha and a proof of concept. Here's where it stands right now:
Checked by hand in the real client: logging in, creating a character in every class, entering the birth map, walking, map changes, NPC dialogs, fighting monsters, dying and reviving, skills and buffs, loot and levelling. With two players we also checked seeing each other move, teams, trading, chat, friends, mail and guilds.
On the server but not yet tried in the real client: equipment depth (durability, repair, binding, the depot), upgrading and socketing, shops, the cash shop, most of the quest chain, PvP, pets and mounts, the kingdom posts and nation war, rankings, scheduled activities, dungeons, the arena and treasure maps.
That second list is where we need you. Whether DragonSoul grows into a full server depends on people playing it and telling us what they find. If you played DragonSoul back in the day, or you just want to explore a lost MMO, grab the files, play, and report what breaks.
You do not need an OSO account to download the files. Download, unzip, and run GoMMO_Manager.exe to start. No database configuration is necessary. The server uses SQLite out of the box and can be switched to MySQL whenever you're ready.
The game client is provided too, as its own download on the same page. It comes already installed, with our launcher in place of the original patcher. Unzip it and run dslauncher.exe. On a fresh server, any name and password will log you in.
GoMMO supports both Linux and Windows. You can run a server on a $10 Linux VPS.
Thanks to the original developers for creating this game.
Let's work together to keep our favorite games alive.
Thanks for being here!

Every report counts, even "I tried X and it worked." Here's what helps most:
- Systems from the "not yet tried" list above: shops, upgrading, pets and mounts, quests, PvP, dungeons, the arena, the nation war
- Two or more players together: trading, teams, guilds and wars
- Anything you remember from the original game that looks or behaves differently
When something looks wrong, please include:
- What you did, and what you saw in the client
- logs\history.log from the server
- The log\ folder from your client
