Hi all,
after a bigger discussion, how to give the old D2Maniacs Players a possibility to play on realms, there are some ways:
First of all, you should decide if you want to start a fresh character
If so, you have the choice to this on open servers of JenWorld with "older but stable" version 7.49, this means, playing like before on D2M, no need for minor version upgrades
or you can play on Chaos Core Community servers, which always have the latest version (7.49E), playing here means more often to install patches (from 1mb up to 70) but also to play always the latest version, cause of HC players are all collected at this server, they should mainly decide for CCC
Think about this possibilities before further reading!!!
Now we are coming to a special offering, which will cause us much much work, but will give you the opportunity to play your old D2M-Characters
First you can play on CCC-Server the SP-Converted characters in OPEN Battlenet Games
as an alternative you will be able to play your old characters on JenWorld-Servers in NON-Ladder part of their realm
This way has some issues:
- The new server their, can used for all players, load is balanced for all 749er players
- The teddy(uberitem characters from D2Maniacs are separated from JenWorld new characters), this is the fairest way
- Their is many manual hand done work, toget your character back into JenWorld..more later
- Last point...after reading this, go back to top, and think about the possibility to start a fresh LADDER character, and use the old one in OPEN games
OK:
For those, still wanting their old character files integrated on JenWorld :
- Write a PM to JEN here in forum and tell him, your account name, and all the character files, which are really should be imported
- JEN will do a migration of your old files MANUALLY! and also will make a handmade new account for you, dont make one on your own
- Everyone trying to take over anothers characters will be banned!!!- JEN send you a PM with your new login information
You see, much work, causesearching bye hand in23thousand character files, for EACH owner up to 20 characters is a really hard and time consumig job
Again, think about starting clean in LADDER, and use the old in SP/OPEN!!!
This wont be done, before Server5 on JenWorld is stable working (hopefully this evening), and then it will done character for character...for each Account, asked for replaying into NON Laddersection!
Again think about if you really really need your character in NON Ladder, instead of playing OPEN, I think their wont be really much users...
Yesterday ~40 people started with new characters on JenWorld and Chaos Core Community....in a huge community....in Non-Ladder their will only be the "rest"
So think about all possibilities, i think playing in OPEN with the SP converted characters is the best solution for all
Facts:
JenWorld bigger community, Version 7.49, less updates, no HC, no Open Bnet, but OPEN community, so joining without registration in Forum of Chaos
CCC little bit smaller community, latest version (749E), more often updates, HC "collector" server, OPEN Bnet, closed community,you need to make post in who is who thread(fun forum) and write a PM for an account
So make your choice
