During the beta testing period all new players will be given both a beta testing skillball and statball to reduce time required to macro a character.
I also wanted to take this time to answer some commonly answered questions. What is PBR and what are its rules?
PBR is a shard originally created by Knives and Nineismine ~2005 and was removed from hosting in 2007. PBR today is something totally new while building off of a wonderful foundation created many years ago. PBR is very similar to Siege Perilous with many aspects of both pre Age of Shadows and Age of Shadows. Felucca facet only, no item insurance designed with PvP and 'the player' in mind but unlike many other shards advertising currently. We saw what EA's 'faction' items did to Siege Perilous and understood the benefits and negatives. Benefits being to suit a char for combat with guaranteed properties and negatives being if you did not have 10M gold worth of silver to buy this suit for every death you could not compete properly. PBR's solution is giving properties and resists based on type of item and type resource, similar to pre AoS. If you have a exceptional player crafted suit of armor you can compete in PVP. Another major problem on SP was pet pvp, as result we put limitations on taming and are not balancing PVM around taming.
In addition to this every monster spawned on PBR has been manually tweaked for both drops and rewards. Every monster has a chance to drop a template weapon or armor into the players pack. Three of the same type can be traded in for an updated piece of armor. Template item properties are random however based on a 'template' hence the name.
Rules
-PBR is not like other shards giving a player a giant 2 pages of text with all the rules you have to agree to in order to play.
Use common sense, please report bugs as you find them and do not advertise other servers, those are our official rules.
-PBR is a PVP/RP shard and does not have insta hit guards, Ganking even res killing will likely happen at times. If you find yourself being res killed and our unable to get to another healer location please report your location over [c so a better player can go kill them.
Why did it take so many years to finish PBR?
Because we spent the last 4 years playing EA's OSI on Siege Perilous (Yes even in 2012)
What can I say, give Project Blackrock a chance to show you what is has to offer. Feel free to contact me if you would like to get more information, see a Tour of what the shard has to offer or become part of our Team.Statistics: Posted by Keening — Tue Jan 22, 2013 3:31 am
