The IceEE Team are proud to announce general availability of the next instalment in the Earth Eternal saga, “The Scourge Of Abidan”. With the first whole new region since the days of Sparkplay, a heap of new quests, and two new dungeons for players to enjoy, there is something for everyone, new beasts and Planet Forever surviors alike.
The Plot
For centuries the Folkirk Family fortune was founded in the Iron Mines in the mining city of Alpenhold. Greedily they dug deeper decade after decade expanding their wealth unaware of the troubles that were on the rise. When one of the miners broke through into what they thought was a natural cavern they all rejoiced the Folkirk family most of all the rich become richer and they felt they had hit the jackpot. Little did they know they had dug just a little too deep and created an opening between this world and the Underworld The Lich Abidan (Minion of Djall himself) to mass his forces and pour out into the unsuspecting Beasts of Grunes Tal. They tried to hold the mind as best they could but to no prevail the Scourge of Abidan seemed endless they quickly overwhelmed the city of Alpenhold and most of Grunes Tal. Now the land is plagued with a dark fog and the foul stench of the dead abandoned by all those who could escape. The final hold out are the group known as the Redeemers, dedicated to reclaiming the lands lost by any and all unliving. Grunes Tal is in desperate need of a hero to rise up and end this scourge before the plague grips anymore of Europe.
The Dungeons
Folkirk Manor: The elegant hill top mansion in the heart of Grunes Tal which has been home to the Folkirks for generations is now one of the most dreadful places in all of Europe. When the Scourge Abidan began the family was sure the matter would be dealt with quickly they weren't so quick to leave. They instead barricaded themselves and any servants that were lucky enough inside the Mansion, but locked doors and boarded windows couldn't save them from the reach of Abidan who slew the entire Folkirk family and all their servants reanimating them now as undead slaves. They are forever locked in their family tomb beneath the mansion.
The Wailing Crypt: This massive catacomb is the site of most of Grunes Tals dead. The Wailing Crypt earns it's famous name from the restless spirit that lurks deep inside the tomb. The Revenant known as the Wailer was once one of the wealthiest people in Europe. Many who thought themselves brave enough have tried to reach and vanquish the Wailer for rewards and treasures that have said to lay inside. Very few have escaped with their lives and known have been able to harm the spectre. It is rumored that the Wailer is not bound to the physical realm and there for material weapons pass right through his ghostly ectoplasm.
The Credit Shop
The Credit shop is our in game and out of game store where unique items can be purchased using our special currency known as Credits as well as hybrid costs of credits and in game currency (gold,silver, bronze). The Shop is limited so far but expect to see much of it expanded upon as time goes on.
Commonly asked question that I'll answer here “Can we purchade Credits or Credit shop items with real money OR support you guys by making donations?”
ANSWER: Although we are thrilled to have so many people offer to donate funds to help us better the game or reward us for our efforts we will not be offering a real time money payable system nor will be accepting donations at this time. Although many private servers do accept donations and it is another legal loop hole in the gaming world, we are not doing this for profits its much more of a passion project and a hobby. Turnout Ventures has long since abandoned the MMORPG industry and probably the rights as well but legally they own them, they've given us the green light to run our server but we don't want to attract any more attention then we have from them.
Other Stuff!
We have also been hard at work adding new things, or completing features that were not available on the Planet Forever server. This is just a taster of what is to come, we have many more fun and useful things planned for our future expansions.

Earth Eternal - The Scourge Of Abidan is a fan made and run MMO based on the private server "Planet Forever" originally released by the player Grethnefar (or Eld as he is also known). Earlier in 2015, Greth released all the source files for his server. Our team continues his work. Many thanks to all the IceEE team, Heathendel Dustrunner, Rictar Gasper, Liska Quicksilver, Rivers Slypaw, Disaster Master, Dekker Wilder and all other players for contributions small and large.
