The Hidden Forest server

[Xecuter]

I've been at The Hidden Forrest since The first of July 09. I immediatly like the server, and the population was quite friendly. I think what did it the most for me was the difficulty. I came from storm haven which is a really nice server, it just didn't seem like its terribly hard to level.

The Hidden forest has a ton of new quests and zones and continues to develope content for their expanding player base. The devs are friendly, helpful and willing to take into account their own goals for the server but the overall consensus of the population when they make decisions pertaining the the server. Every time i've had a problem with an item, npc, zone they have been quick to respond on their forums and help resolve any issues within thier power.

Lately they reached Green status and i'm proud to have been here since they were hiding down at the bottom of the list, ( i often wonder if thats where they got "hidden" from).

Anyways, the player base is amazing. The devs rock, and there is a ton of custom quests, zones, tradeskills to go around. They have a working magelo & allaclone with a fancy design also.

You definatly should check them out!

To update:

We've recently added some special Halloween events for all to enjoy and partake in.

Halloween is upon us and the festivities are in full swing from now until November 8th.

* There is a higher xp rate for all those to level up with - 5x
* Check for new seasonal NPC's and quests in The Hidden Forest zone
* A special secret raid encounter


Come join us for this limited time celebration!

Also, Jeido posted about tier 4 being added, but we also have rolled out epic 2.5's not too long ago and added some unique donator items usable at level 1.

Coming very soon (within the next month as a guess) we also have LDoN adventures along with their own leaderboard tracker and an achievements system where you can compare your achievements alongside others through the magelo page.

So come on out and join us for fun, tricks, and candy this Halloween!

As Jerant said, the Halloween event is out today but he's being modest! He was one of the ones who helped make the quests for it, and the server excitement has really gone up since the quests were released. There are numerous event npc's in the starter zone, and there are some quests too that involve killing around norrath, collecting items for rewards.

Also, there's an illusion NPC for the event in the starter zone, which is always fun

Personally, I have my eye on the new level 85 orc that they popped into Crushbone for this event... I've always wanted to raid CB and now I have that chance! I definitely recommend at least stopping by and messing around with the event npc's, they add even more to a server that already has fully customized content/items.

That wasn't modesty, that was, "It's 2am and I want to go to sleep" :P

Our Halloween event and 5x exp will end on the 8th of Nov, so here is a brief update what we have now and what will come.

I extended and will keep updated our server information page: here. As always, more details, guides, walkthroughs on our portal. We have a mass amount of quality customization now, and the list is getting extended daily.

It's a good time to join our ranks, since there will be lots of new and unique content updates in the upcoming weeks. Just to list the major ones:
Custom adventure system with 32 custom adventure zone (normal and hard for assassination/slaughter/rescue/collection adventures).

Adventure system leaderboard
(will go live with the adventure system. for now it has only test related data, but you can get a feel how it will look like)
Click!

Unique Achievement system!
(beta)


Tier 5 raid progression zone.

More custom code and rev update to stay up to date.

And last but not least..(as always) sorry for my English and typos

After having played on the server for 10-15 hours now I wanted to go ahead and make a post about it on the forums here.

Most of you know me as Harney, Skeeb, Zhak, Podge etc. I've been around the eqemulator community since 2003ish ( my best guess ). I've played on Guildwars, KMRA, VZ/TZ, Winters Roar ( now Shards of Dalaya ), EZ EXP, Zarn Barn, 5 times and countless other servers that have come and gone over the years.

The Hidden Forest is a legit, fast paced (3-5x exp from what I can gather ) customized PvE server, it reminds me a lot of Winter's Roar. The server is extremely polished, the starter zone / hub zone is very thorough and has pretty much everything you'd want in such a zone.

Leveling goes to 70 and then AA's from there. I currently have 4 boxes at levels 55-56 and have enjoyed the leveling here quite a bit, there are quests / tasks in every customized leveling zone, and access to said zones from the teleporter in the hub zone. The grind that you normally experience on most emu servers definitely does not feel like a grind here, I've stayed in most zones even after I'm done with the exp for the items / clickies that are obtainable to gear all of my toons.

From what I've gathered on their forums and seen in game, they already have 4 raid tiers to progress through once you reach the end game and at least 2 raiding guilds currently.

The box is very stable, I've had no problems with server lag or connection issues, and I'm in Japan currently so that says quite a bit.

This servers population is going to grow immensely once the word gets out about it and people start making toons here. I really cannot stop saying good things about it, with having been around emu for so long, it's almost become the rule and not the exception to complain about how broken most of the servers are, my only complaint so far with this one is the lack of playtime I have.

If you're looking for a solid PvE server, I strongly suggest giving this one a try.

Look me up in game if you need anything

New to THF and so far love it. Tend to play on servers till I feel like I have "beaten" most of the content and can easily see myself spending some serious time here.
