Book of the Fallen, our 3.3.5 roleplay server, is beginning it's third chapter, and we've been improving all the while. We have a very small but very capable staff, and though we were all quite new at this just last year, take a look at what we were able to accomplish!
We have a beautiful new map, our version of the island if Tel'Abim in the South Seas that we've dubbed "The Verdant Isles". You'll notice in the preview video that things from the ground to the sky are heavily edited and / or customized completely, from the ground effects to the skybox and everything in-between. We tried to keep a tropical island feel in every single asset we used when we built this world.
Book of the Fallen offers completely custom and integrated systems that are 100% functioning and fun. As you could briefly see in the preview video, we have a profession system allowing for gathering and crafting style professions. They include mining, smithing, logging, cooking, outfitting, trapping, and more! They're very easy to use, and new recipes for items can be added on the fly, and can even be tailored to specific players and guilds. Many of the items you can create using this system are custom as well, from never before seen pieces of immersive gear and clothing, to interesting and useful items and consumables tailored for immersion and variety.
We also have completely custom combat classes, removing blizzard's combat system entirely so we can focus more on immersive roleplay. We've incorporated more D&D style classes, including things like bards, huntsmen, duelists, clerics, abjurers, and so on. Though it's simple enough for new players to get the hang of quickly, there are fun and hard-hitting combinations that the savvy player can utilize to dispatch their foes in a completely in-character fashion. All of our custom combat classes are chosen after you create your character, and you're able to wear any gear you like. (Heavier gear might impact your magical casting ability, though!)
There are also lots of other new and innovative things to check out in the world, such as clickable and interactable gobjects including things like readable books, custom teleporters, immersive transitions, and more.
To achieve all of these things, most of which have never been seen before on ANY server, we used nothing more than the common WoW modding software and the AIO addon tool, and a boat load of caring about our players. If you like to roleplay, come and check us out at
