cant find a HB server i like, since hbss.tk stopped putting up a list of new servers it makes it hard to find a private server let alone one that is to your standard and has over 20 people on it...RiP

well i have to agree HB is not the same anymore. Cause of hackers etc... but because of other games they wanna play 3d like WoW not 2d. They found other games...

A game thats free, fun to play, has such a dedicated number of people working on it, doesn't deserve to die. I would still play it if there was a server out there thats stable, had a decently high number of players, was innovative without being overly lame (like giving players features that cannot be offered to them elsewere instead of 100% all stats). A hook is nice.

Its a shame really, but maybe after all the work is done to clear and fix thing up, the developpers here will give it a shot and experience the fruits of their labor. Maybe even eliminate the competition, with either negotiations or the "dark-arts." :ph34r: :ph34r:

If there is enough good coding--fixing all hacks and bugs and cheats, and players dont have unexpected problems, the community can rely on itself for its own problems GMs arnt really needed. Only thing right now is that GMs host events, instead it can be can all be done by Automation...eg... at time X notify all logged in players a Zemstone has been hidden in middleland, at X time spawn a peice of meat on every tile in a WH and spawn a random item under one - people who participate get something in return doesnt have to be a marian plate everytime just enough to keep people interested, at X time spawn 1 helclaw in each town....All these events are automated and a timer occurs to remind players.... all elvine players get the message "You have 3 hours to kill the tigerworm in Elvine" after 3 hours monster dies by itself. No gms are needed, so no worry of players cheating, no curroption. Its like play helbreath and just experience it without interference.

But the truth is right now the market is really low on people, and individuals are unwilling to change from their own server because they fear losing their hard work. So you see servers out there with 15 people, 20 people, 30 people, 50 people, instead of 1 server with 90+ people.

Also it is really laggy atm to even have so much people, that is why i think klks is trying to optimize and continue this project. To make everthing efficient to minimize the usage. It'll take a community to pull this off the right way, and i think it can be done.

- multilanguage support but the majority in english
- nice looking, simple , working website <---- youd think i wouldnt have to mention something like this
- scripts to notify players of their progress vs everyone (not refered to as scripts or php, keep the game feeling there for new comers)
- change the name helbreath (lol, its retarded to say for reals to someone who doesnt know about it---your breath is funky?)
- reskinning of client, change all button positions, the gui right now is huge minimize it to the bottom corner. The official skin is too old fasioned and brown
- new features steal some from the new games (new npc allowing an auction system, a npc thats a mailbox for a mail system, allow guilds to form alligances with other guilds and then give them a headquarters together, have 5 total alligances Earth, Wind, Ice, Fire, Poison and by the guilds name put a little icon notifying which alligiance is this guild partnered with. They each have their own hg on a map zone designed on their element. Make them have a purpose like earning alligance income to buy npcs around their HQ to protect their area from raiders...the options are limitless. If enemy town raids your HQ and captures your flag, your town loses its ownership of that alligience and must fight to regain it.) As you can see new features can make the game more interesting/complex depending on what is done

i recommend this svr to u
w w w . n e t o v e r l o r d s . n e t

this server is the only server with no hacker currently unless some1 made some hack
all other svr i play are like 80% hacker using net gay client
full screen crit cast with shield hack

unadvised hack client is not their match at all

there are 200 ppl online average also.....
but u cant find this svr is most of the top sites
because they ban them

i think netgaylords has too much enemy

but the svr is good
and i just think ppl are just jealous of them

Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that s/he wants (typically attention, love, or affection) to a third party.

umm as far as i was concerned all NOL offered was DDOSing to people, not exactly something i was jealous of, but something that i certainly was given and i refused it and about a month later sango was arrested...

... glad to see that I and/or others contacted the right people about that

as far as a server goes i all ive heard about it that was good was that there was people because every minor server was down, all the good ones got around the DDOS.

unless some1 made some hack

so true of any server... lame reason. first time he said that since he came back there was hack within a day of that claim

all other svr i play are like 80% hacker using net gay client

so you played HBXS, they arnt looked upon as any better than NOL

unadvised hack client is not their match at all

what is this even about?

there are 200 ppl online average also

great, loads of spics all over that i cant talk to and its to full to hunt for anything

thats about all i got to say there

Nope, this game is not dead. Im playing on polish server with 300 players online.

PS. remember that:

total players on nol = number that shows /who - 100
