Combat & Spells

• 7.4 spell formulas with slower regen and smaller mana pools than later eras
• Spells can be casted with regex (EX URA, UTEVO LUX ""LIGHT)
• No quotes needed when casting single-parameter spells
• Damage from spells and runes applies to everyone on the same tile stack
• UH traps work just as they did back in the day
• NPCs only sell blank runes - you have to runemake or buy runes from other players
• No object hotkeys, every action requires a manual actions
• Runes don’t stack
• Spells and runes depend only on magic level and mana
• Sorcerers and druids rely on summons, runes and raw spellcasting - no wands or rods

Exhaust & Actions

• Drinking a mana fluid adds a one-second delay before casting
• Healing runes can be used without adding spell exhaust
• Walking adds its own exhaust - you must lift the walk key to cast or use items
• UseEx items can’t be fired directly from the battle list towards players
• UseEx can’t be fired directly after a diagonal walk
• Actions already started cannot be cancelled (rope-bag trick still works)
• Walking and moving items feel just as smooth as in the original 7.4 client

Monsters & AI

• Creatures appear with loot already generated and thus affect their armor
• Overspawn mechanic is implemented - if you lure a monster away, a new one can appear while it’s still alive
• Pathfinding is smarter: ranged creatures step back, summons reposition, monsters always face their target each cycle
• Target changes happen only after a full attack round, preventing abuse of fast floor hopping
• No hidden cooldowns - monsters attack with true 7.4 timing: ranged mobs can combo on chase, melee keep a two-second swing
• Creatures can be roped
• Summons behave logically: keep fighting, maintain diagonals and lines, don’t just tail the master

Respawn Rules

• Each spawn uses one shared timer, not individual timers
• Respawn isn’t paused by blockades - once the timer is up, new monsters appear if the area is clear
• Respawn rate is based on online players

Map & World

• A classic 7.4 world, expanded with later cities and regions rebuilt in oldschool style (Ankrahmun, Port Hope)
• Luring is possible
• Parcels can be stacked into makeshift stairs and platforms
• Movable objects and monsters can be roped and stacked, letting players set traps
• Every city comes with its own depot, reinforcing regional identity
• Boats offer no safe zones - danger travels with you
• Quests are rebuilt for the long game: major rewards must be looted from hunts and dungeons, not handed out, except for legendary quests like the Annihilator

Community & Fair Play

• Firm stance against cheating - no bots, no macros, no multi-clienting
• Tutors and gamemasters ensure fairness
• This is a long-term project, not a quick cash grab
• Premium perks mirror the classic era: extra depots, boats, houses, and cosmetic options
• No automatic loot text - you have to check corpses manually
• Blessings don’t protect items; only the Amulet of Loss prevents item loss
• Players regain health and mana while resting in beds
