It will be public soon ^^

[bakasan]

its public ^^

To try it out:
1) Join UltraMegaServer (66.79.167.26:5194)
2) type /c register <yourpassword>
3) choose a class - there are three currently (Fighter, Medic, and Citizen each with their own special commands and benefits)
       to become a fighter type: /c class fighter
       to become a medic type: /c class medic
       to become a citizen type: /c class citizen
4) You are ready to play!



Some Tips on playing RPGDM:
-Search out the keycard, as it is worth alot of exp and can make you level up faster
-Secret packages give exp and money
-Kill Frenzy is a good way to gain exp and stats - it also shows nearby players on your radar
-Trash cans are there but they can be good or bad, so you take your chances ^^
-Weapon crates are never bad but often empty (Tip: if you have the weapon armed at the time of checking the weapon crates, you stand a better chance of gettin some ammo for it)
-Save points are a great way to save your cash - additionally, players level 10 and up can save one weapon at the save points by simply having it armed when saving - once you have a weapon saved, it will spawn with you each time until you change it, along with your normal weapons provided by your class level
-Take advantage of not being able to see your opponents on the radar - sneak up on them or hide if needed
-Kill using the weakest weapon you have to maximize your exp - also try to kill players that are higher level than you, as they are worth more exp
-use !mostwanted to see who has the most continuous kills without dying - also !wanted will show a single player's wanted level
-use !nextlevel to show how much exp you need to get to the next level and !level to see a player's current level and class


have fun ^^

This script is the best of the best!

[Much_Pain]

OMG it's KILLER!!! See you all in teh UltraMegaServer!!! 

[PrisonBreak]

Sounds really, really cool. I will go try it out in a few minutes.
Too bad I gotta go on vacation in a couple hours

EDIT: Hey, I started to play a couple minutes ago & I can't seem to find any of these "save points"... Where exactly do I go to save my money & stats? The bank?
nvm, I found one ^^

[dave5]

Cool. That weapon crate stuff sounds 'mazin. Maybe in a later release we can attach the crates to trucks and drive them around town for money (all done in IRC if not), hoping we don't get robbed. Oh yeah, don't forget about bounty's, like 1 player feels like killing everyone he sees, so then he might be wanted and all of the server bands together to see he's dead.

[Aaron]

Sounds cool.

[PrisonBreak]

Does this/Will this server have a site and/or forum?

[bakasan]

not sure, but i think this is all there will be.

[Serafim]

This server rocks, it's a new way of playing vc-mp!
