DatabaseEVOLVED
We started it. Now we will finish it.

DatabaseEVOLVED was the FIRST FUNSERVER DATABASE ever created. Within 20 days, our ever-famous forums grew to over 10,000 members. Over 40 other "Funserver Databases" spawned off of our original great idea - to create the ultimate database, but for funservers. We maintained strength through it all, and the flamers and enemies all suffered in the end. We went underground and some enemies decided to "bring back the database". They failed - All users left them within a week, and DatabaseEVOLVED fell into the dust.
Now - the time has come - The Ultimate Funserver Database Project is now being ressurected - our first NEW release will be out within a week or two - Our MMOwned-EXCLUSIVE repack soon to follow - can you handle it ?

We have been chosen as the first official MMOwned Database Spotlight! There is a reason for this - we are the best.




Release 3.0 Details
Estimated Release Date: February 28th / March 1st
-= DO NOT PM ME OR ANY TEAM MEMBER FOR RELEASES / RELEASE DATES =-

DatabaseEVOLVED will kickstart the revival by releasing its first new release, 3.0. (Earlier versions were part of the older database project, 3.0 is the start point for the new one.)
We are starting from scratch, to bring you the BEST. DATABASE. EVER.
THIS IS NOT A REPACK!
As well, this will override MOST custom content on your server. Why will this happen ? The World of Warcraft is only so big. In order to bring you the best next-generation content, we need to use this world. Most other repacks / databases already use all of the world (Well, most of it.) Especially the good places.
Release 3.0, and descending branches (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, ect.) will all contain the following basic features - these are the main features, there are many more as well!

• WarpNPC
• EventNPC
• Azshara Crater
• Withering of Ragefire Instance
• The Hellfire Legion Instance Series
• The Shadowfang Incursion Instance
• GUILD HOUSING
• AND LOADS MORE!

Please Note: Detailed information on these major additions are farther down inside this thread.
All DatabaseEvolved releases will also have a "recommended" Ascent Core to use. If this core has been custom modded, we will also provide a simple guide to use to make the modifications to your own core if you do not want to use ours. DatabaseEvolved does not support the Mangos Emulator.

Azshara Crater
Azshara Crater is one of the main things we are working on for our first database release. The location of the main 2 malls (One for horde one for alliance) as well as a unique, new style of battleground, a "BG Instance", this is a highly-populated instanced area.
At either side of the Azshara Crater, there is a small town. One is a night-elf town, one an orc town. These will be the locations of the respective alliance and horde malls, with strong scripted guards preventing ALL access from the other faction, as well as providing locale information (Just like retail major city guards do.) and minimap gps as well (Again, like retail major city guards.)
In the midst of the crater, there are 3 parts. The Night Elf Half, the Horde Half (Both Troll and Orc style) and then, the middle area, which is home to the Naga.

These 3 factions vie for control of the area, and YOU, and the players of your server, must help! If you are horde, you must accept the quests given by horde leaders in the pvp-enabled zone, to destroy all alliance in the Crater. (Except the malls...:P ) In doing so, killing the alliance leaders will drop tokens, which you can then exchange for valuable loot in the base beside the horde leaders.
If you are alliance, you must reclaim the 5 moonwells, via a quest line given by the 5 alliance leaders. These moonwells are being corrupted by the horde, and you must first kill the horde mobs surrounding them, and then capture them. Doing this will bring the spirits of the moonwell up, rewarding you with tokens, which can be redeemed as well. (The mobs around the moonwells = horde leaders.)
The middle area, which has been taken by the Naga, is a target for both horde and alliance. Both factions will be able to recieve a variety of quests that will reward them with bundles of redeemable tokens upon completion. The core naga boss, will also drop some very unique items, but he is the hardest NPC to kill in all of Azshara Crater. One unique thing about the naga portion is that since pvp is enabled, kill stealing is a valid possibility, and is a recommended strategy. You can down the main boss from 100% to 1%, just to have the other faction steal your kill. Dangit! Always be sure to have groups of lookouts at the top of the miniature naga cave raid to make sure that the other faction won't walk in on you.


Warp/Event NPCs
DatabaseEvolved will come with 2 NPC DLL's, which are two warping NPCs. The first of these is a standard WarpNPC, which is located in hundreds of common locations, as well as the end of the leveling road / starting zone. There is also an EventNPC, which is located inside each of the core faction malls.
The main WarpNPC will teleport you to places like the mall, custom instances, as well as major cities / zones.
The secondary EventNPC will teleport you to a variety of events (7 in total, all custom done.) and is only found in the malls and the events that it ports you to.


The Leveling Road / Starting Zone
We have decided to utilize the expansive 'Hyjal' zone as both the starting area, AND the leveling road. Players will start off at the bottom where they will meet the infamous Welcome Panda, which will give them a heads up about your server (WHICH WILL BE CUSTOMIZABLE WITH A GUIDE FOUND INSIDE THE DB RELEASE) as well as giving you a choice of a custom starting weapon. (Custom Starting Gear will also be there, but it will be automatically on character creation.) The Leveling Road will continue all the way from level 1 to level 70, made perfect for the recommended ascent exp rates (Which can be found in the database release readme.), and at every 15 levels there will be a short quest to kill a fast-respawning (for the purpose of a highly-populated leveling road.) that will give you updated gear for your level and help you along the leveling road. At the very very end, you get access to custom level 70 gear for completing the entire levelign road, as well as access to a portal that will "portal" you to the main mall, and from there, have fun on the server!
