I probably wouldn't play redmoon even if it was up. Scar lies way too much and the money I paid for my chr ment nothing in the end. It didn't even get me a realistic ,logical reason for the server being down or an honest anything. I feel like I got burned as many undying dream players in the past have felt that have since quit. Any other game would have ment REFUNDS when you pay a grand over a years time or more and then get shutdown with the most bullshit vague fucktarded excuse I ever heard.

Any other game would have ment REFUNDS when you pay a grand over a years time or more and then get shutdown with the most bullshit vague fucktarded excuse I ever heard. Well, this is quite an upsetting surprise to get back to... If you feel I have ever lied about anything, feel free to discuss it with me. I am only one person, so I may slip up on some things, and other things may also get pushed aside and forgotten due to other issues. A quick reminder of any issues is usually enough to get me back to it. By the way, when most online games shut down, they do not refund everyone's money that put any into said game. The game just shuts down, and that is all there is to it. I know that from experience in the past, and that is a risk anyone faces when they choose to invest money into online games. As for my "bullshit vague fucktarded" excuses, I don't like to drag my personal life issues too much into the server, so, yeah, I try to be a little vague. Seeing as how that does not seem suitable for you, I will make my issues as clear as possible: my family has suffered many losses the past year, and one of the closest people to me passing was the last bit I could take. To be honest, I did not feel like doing anything that was not necessary of me. I wouldn't go so far as to say I fell into a depression, but there were times where I did not want to do anything at all. If me taking time off to recover from what I was going through, then I'd say that speaks more about you as a person than it does me. However, you probably thought I was just trying to talk my way into free money or something stupid like that. Nice to see some things never change in the world, but I am quite done with this issue. That matter aside, I thank everyone else for your patience and kind words. I know it has been some time since I last got around to the forums, but I hope to change that soon. As an update, I have been working on things slowly for the past week or so. For now, I have mainly been focusing on getting Jarexx's skills sorted out, but I will be trying some other things I have planned in the future. I have posted an update about the skills on the site, but I will also mention what is going on so far here: Blue skills:-Roar is back to its default effect, but with a higher MP cost per cast of it. -Unlimited Stamina will be changed to War Cry; War Cry will not be a part of red honor skills anymore. -Possible addition of Eidolon as an added skill at 900 to replace the role of Unlimited Stamina. Red skills:-War Cry for red honor has been changed to Lavita's Slow skill effect. It has a higher MP cost than her's, though. -Possible addition of Evasion as an added skill at 900. To be honest, I didn't know what else might work. General:-Mind Shield of blue could end up replaced by Eidolon instead of a new skill. My logic is the less characters that can block all negative status effects via skills the better. I will try to get an update / feedback topic started eventually, but anyone can feel free to voice an opinion here. That's really all I have for the moment, but I will get more work done as I can. Edit: Fixed some typos and incorrect wording. Also, further emphasis on issues and separate paragraphs.

Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about your story, keep your head up is all I can say for now.
I think the jarexx issue is fixed for now. Hopefully you can give us an idea of when the server will be up again. For now I keep checking the sites daily.
When the server will be up I am willing to give feedback on the changes.
Thanks so far for now.

I would have preferred not to bring any of that up, but I just can't seem to catch any breaks no matter what I do. The last time I had to take time off for personal reasons, I made it clear why I had to. Some people just took as me wanting attention, so I decided it would be better not to go into too much detail the next time something happened. I guess it doesn't matter either way, though.
Anyway, I still have to possibly re-arrange Jarexx's skills levels yet as well. I'm sure most people would want Roar back at the level 200 range to make up for the lack of a strong AoE in the early levels. I probably will end up replacing Mind Shield with Eidolon, so that he can still regain stamina if not using Diamond Skin. I kind of wish I could make that skill as a toggle (second cast disables it), but that is something I'm not capable of. I'm sure someone could since I believe Destino's hide works like that, but it is unfortunately something that will most likely not happen.
I'm not quite familiar with everything involving Evasion as a skill, but hopefully it works if I do end up putting it to use. I really could not think of anything else at the moment, but there is still time that it could possibly change. Getting these skills sorted out is pretty much the biggest thing I have to do before getting the server online again – anything else can be easily done when it is up, even though I would like to get it done beforehand. I would like to get the server online before the end of the month, which is very possible using the method I just mentioned. I would like to make that happen just so that the server would be up for those that enjoy it.

Hey Scar,
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your difficult year, and offer my sincere condolences. I'm happy to hear that you're continuing your efforts in getting the server back up, and even more so that you're reverting Jarexx's Roar skill back to its original function!
If you need any help on the technical side, I would be willing to lend a hand. I'm a software engineer by trade, and could write tools or potentially even write some simple custom logic for the server.

Sorry for the absence, everyone. I had a few things come up that I had to work out, but it did leave me with some time to think about how to handle some things. I will be posting a planned update topic soon so that I can gather some feedback on some things that may be getting changed or added. And I'm sorry if I came off as rude or abraisive last month or whenever I posted those things scar.I can definitely identify with going through some shit.Lifes a bitch sometimes. I can sort of understand your frustration with my absence on the matter, and that is something that I hope to correct for the future. As much as I don't like to look at the server as a job, I still have plenty of responsibilities that are tied to running it. One of said responsibilities is making sure that everyone knows what is going on when it's down. I chose to put it as a low priority in updating what was currently going on, and it turned out to be a somewhat bad choice. I've realized my mistake and will be making an effort to be more active with posting updates. As for when the server will be up, I really can't say at the moment. I still have plenty of things I'd like to try before getting it back up. Some of those include getting some items working that have been half-finished for a long time, lessening how severe a death impacts unique items, changing how some items work, adjusting item drops on various maps, and working on character skills. There's a few other things here and there, but I would say those are some of the more important ones to note.
