The No Grind (NG) server features a level-less style of character development, where stats grow with skill usage. The name No Grind comes from the fact that there is no level-grinding. Skills & stat gains are quite high, but the caps are low, to encourage multiple characters and mixing of skill sets (see Class Ideas).

Features of the NG server include:

  • no experience or player levels
  • 300% cap on class skills for non humans, 400% for humans (non class skills are not counted towards the cap!)
  • 500 cap on stats
  • stats are worth 2x their face value (ie 150 STR is actually worth 300)
  • skills go up at 5x reg
  • no restrictions on mixing and matching skills (ie no class cap)
  • fast skill gains
  • permanent death is off

The address of the NG server is euo.swut.net:26668.

How do I play on the NG server?

The NG server runs on the 26668 port of euo.swut.net

To connect to NG:
1) Install EUO if you haven't already, but don't run EUO yet ...
2) Run the EUO Launcher found in your EUO directory
3) In the Port box set the number to 26668 (set it to 26667 if you want to connect to the reg server)

Click here for general instructions on how to use the EUO Launcher.

If you don't have the launcher (which you can download from here)
1) quit EUO
2) edit client.cfg in the EUO directory
3) change the line that starts with port= to look like

port=26668

4) save client.cfg and run EUO
