Since the announcement in the April Producer’s Letter, there has been quite a bit of feedback and some modifications to the officially announced rulesets. We sincerely appreciate the input that many of you have provided. We’ve taken the questions asked by everyone about the different rulesets and compiled them into a single FAQ about Fangbreaker’s Rulesets.
Welcome to Fangbreaker!
Here is a rundown of the ruleset:
Expanded Start
- It's been a request for some years where some players wanted to have more expansions unlocked from the start (here's looking at you players that main Iksar and Vah Shir). With this year's expanded start, players will have access to more player races, locations, and tons more content with oodles of loot to obtain right from the start.
Slow Initial Unlocks
- The fact is the population on every progression server declines as more and more expansions unlock. So, to keep a healthy server population for a longer period, we are extending the unlock time within some of the early expansions. We hope the slower initial progression leads to a longer, healthier progression server over the lifespan of the server.

Resource Hunter
- The concept behind this ruleset is to expand the experience of hot zones to a new daily method. We hope that it will not only bring the thrill of finding new special areas but also bring the community together in the hunt. The Resource Hunter ruleset of random daily bonuses should not only encourage playing in a variety of zones and exploring more of Norrath but also make it more rewarding to roam in different zones than you might normally on a TLP.
Encounter Locking
- While it initially had some controversy, looking at the lifespan of Oakwynd it has been seen as a net good for the server. We received enough feedback and analyzed the data, and it appears to have ultimately benefited the server enough to try it again.
Legacy Characters
- We're big fans of this ruleset. We tried it and we liked it overall, so we're doing it again. It will be interesting to see how it works in parallel with the Alternate Personas feature.
True Box
- This server starts with Restricted True Box. Only two computers may be run by one person at the same time while connected to Fangbreaker. Boxing any more than two accounts at the same time will result in action being taken against your account. True Box is removed when the Expanded Start period ends. On Fangbreaker, Expanded Start ends when Planes of Power unlocks.
