The aim was to preserve the players fun so we had to find the Equilibrium point between "too much" and "not enough". After twelve months of experience with Revival, we discovered many mistakes and learned to understand consequenses in short or long time of many choices even if they seem very good in the instant ! We hope this server concept will remain fun, interesting to play and rewarding.
Equilibrium and citizenship
Following the invasion of Aresden and Elvine by Abaddon's army, inhabitants had to take refuge at Farms or Equilibrium City. Some will soon be able to join Abaddon's baleful forces : Executors are "big evil".
BackMax level 150
Level limit has been fixed to 150 (exceptionally 153) to avoid characters that cannot be killed. Characters who continue leveling to max level will earn special points or "gizons" used to improve their character or equipment.
BackCharacter's stats limited to 250
Max stats limit is 250 instead of 200. Attention : Increasing a stat to 250 will force you to accept one or more weaknesses !
New weapons are available for VERY strong Warriors. Go see at the Blacksmith!
New spells are available for VERY intelligent mages. You will learn more at Wizard Tower.
New items are available too but they ask you exceptionnal stats.
Armors, PA, Dextis and Fencers
Normal armors don't absorb damage anymore. Knight armors (lvl90+) absorb a bit of damage whereas Master armors (lvl120+) absorb more damage. Master Plate Mail needs dexterity to be worn. But enchanted Master Armor can't be found ...
Moreover, some fast weapons will reduce absorbed damage, it's about Fencing and One-Handed-Axe.
There are new shields available at Blacksmith : Knight and Master Shield which help Fencers and Waraxers to resist during a fight. If Fencers want to be more offensive, they can use a Main Gauche instead of shield (Main Gauche is only visible when the character doesn't move). New shields and Mains Gauche need high Dexterity's score !
Priests (and Paladins)
This new class (and the sub-class is Paladin) is a kind of warrior devoted to his God. Moreover, his God gives him Life's Spell and Protective's Spell. Main stats are Charisma (Priest are people's leader) and Strength (to show example and to be the hand of the Divine Fury). Attention : Priests get single advantages but have also draconian limitations.
Priest's Spells are automatically given by the Divinity (when stats allow it). Each spell requires a minimum in Charisma and the same in Strength.
Paladins aren't able to reach powerful spells. If you want to be a Priest, you have to be lvl50 minimum. Priest can't use Slashing Skill (skills reset) but he can wear a Penitence Giver : a Holy Hammer (using Hammer Skill) ...
Druids
This new class is a kind of mage dedicated to nature. He gets easily powerful spells but in small number. Main stats are Charisma and Dexterity (he has to be skilful to take care of nature!). Attention : Druids get single advantages but have also draconian limitations ...
BackArchers
Sub-class available (but not very powerful). An archers will be a Light Warrior, for example, a Fencer specialized in archery. More Dexterity it is, more damage dealt by a bow. So, a Dexti is more efficient than Heavy Warrior !
BackMartial Arts
If you an adept of unarmed fight, Project Equilibrium will make you happy.
Hand Attack Skill is now based on Vitality and not Strength. In this case of the monk, dealt damage depend on Vitality ! At high level, a Monk can hope to do exceptional hits even stun an opponent ! Nunchaku can be found at Blacksmith to replace shield and improve dealt damage.
Soul Eggs
These Eggs are sometimes found when a monster die. If you let them in your bag during the server's reboot, they will hatch a rare, a special or an exceptional item but you can find nothing. Chances of getting Eggs have been improved but not Drop-Rate.
Chances of getting a nice hatching are improved by the contribution. The best is to have a "Hatching-Character" and 100 contributions (between 1/4 and 1/2, it's nice hatching but it is divided by 2.5 without contribution and more with a bad reputation) ...
Story can be found on forum but only in french version : Story of eggs.
Lottery
You can buy some tickets. Each costs 50 000 gold.
If you are level 120 or more, you will get a small luck of getting an invaluable item (1/2 for Mages or BattleWizard, 1/2 for Warriors. Priest are included and aren't forgotten).
If you are low level, chances of getting items are high but you can find useless items when you will be more higher.
To compensate, you can find a batch of good xp (max is 1 000 000 xp) !
Drop-rate
You will find a bit of gold, some potions and candies. Dropped items are tripled and theirs stats were improved. Zemstones can be found 3 times more often than on HB-int and, Green ball are useful for Alchemist (who can enchanted armors and weapons).
Drop table is improved in quality and diversity but each monster has a particular drop (except the smaller monsters). For example, if a monster gives you a sword, another monster gives you axe ... Of course, more powerful and rare is the monster, better the drop will be !
Economy recreated
Gold become more rare. In this server, gold is very important in game.
Fishing, Farming, Mining, Manufacturing or Alchemy is a way for getting golds. Poors people can sell their reputation !
Some people spend too much their gold. Now, they have to sell drops or accept the idea of being poor.
Experience changed
Experience is higher than Revival 1. It's 4 or 5 times more than HB official xp. Moreover, you will level up easily because of the small competition in some areas. Barracks are opened until level 60 and give high xp. After, PromiseLand is the next step until level 100.
Server still always use a big xp bonus for low characters, it begins at +150% and reduces gradually to 0% at lvl81 ... and still reduces gradually with level.
New client v3.51 upgraded
Some innovations added to client v3.51 which allow new monsters, hero set etc ... Of course, this client underwent many modifications to adapt itself to Equilibrium Project, for example the possibility to use 5 shortcuts (F1, F2, F3, F11, and F12).
BackNews items
They are numerous, often useful but you will discover some with the time ! You can also find (via Eggs) a series of armors very ... special ! Some items will be particularly useful for new characters described above !
BackWeapons
Useless weapons have been removed (some useless LS and Axes ...). Some weapons can be only used if you have high Strength (Black Shadow, Vampire, Great Barbarian, Great Axe). They can be found in enchanted version (Very Big NPC or Eggs) even in single version with powerful ability exclusive to Equilibrium Project. Finally, God Axe, Sword or Hammer are available at Blacksmith ...
Moreover, new special weapons are available for who will able to find them, in all range of Strength.
Master items
Only a level 120 can wear it or 130 for some weapons. Master Weapons are Weapon +3. Wizard Hat/Cap, Horned/Winged Helms are considerated as Master Items. They can't be dropped and can't be found in an Egg. Master Armors can be dyed ...
BackWarlord items
They are only for level 150. Buy them at Blacksmith, they can't be dropped or found in an Egg.
BackTaming
This skill is extremely delicate to cultivate, it will enable you to tame some humanoid monsters. Some characters (priest, druid, paladin, mage) can also acquire a certain power on others monsters (ex : Priest on Undead) even sometimes control them.
BackAlchemy
Potions > 50 will be accessible quickly. Potions recipes are simple. Numerous new potions, for example, a special potion helps a manufacturer to make an enchanted weapons. Specific spell at high skill (Alchemy 90%).
Drop rate of some ingredients was increased. The particular arrangement of maps and guards permits to find freely many ingredients, finally the most complex potions permit to up alchemy more quickly.
Manufacturing
Items > 50 will be accessible quickly. New items are available. Possibility to make enchanted items with the help of an alchemist.
A manufaturer will be able to join together all 4 pieces of Strange Stones, this Stone is used for getting an Ancient weapon (only an alchemist can enchanted the weapon and a manufacturer 70% can join together the Strange Stones pieces ...). Specific spell at high skill (Manufacturing 80%).
The Success of creating weapons or armors of good quality permits to up skill more quickly.
Mining
You can sell rare minerals to alchemists who will do a good use ! You can also discover a forgotten Egg from millenium !
BackFishing
Useful fishs for alchemists who will do a good use. Fishing magic items becomes more interesting without counting treasures forgotten at the bottom of lakes !

Cape only accessible for people who have 300 EKs. EK available for a level 60+ who kills a lvl60+ and for a lvl100+ who kills a lvl100+ ! More EK points can be obtained by killing a higher level character.
BackQuests and Contributions
Quest list has been improved and extented. The max contribution is 1000 but who will reach it ??? Some of the quests are surprising and particular.
Stop couting on the quest : killing demons at D4 because it will be accessible (and for a time) if you have already 250 contributions.
Numerous quest are accessible for a limited level and some are easy if only you get the required contributions points. Il will be more harder to get contributions if you are high level ...
Contribution reduces chance of getting nothing in an Egg ...
Reward of a special cape for the one who get 150 or more contributions. Just wear a normal cape from Shop and during server's reboot, it will become a Contribution's Cape which combines beauty and +35 Magic Resistance !
City Map, version 3.x, and Equilibrium
City are same than HB 3.51. Barracks and Noob-Dungeon are accessible by Farms.
Barracks are accessible until level 60. It's a small area with training dummies and is inter-connected with the two cities.
