Gnome Champion (Multi) had its mechanics completely reworked.
Above is a solo kill when it was almost in its final stages of development. It does 3 standard attacks, melee, randomly ranges or mages (With a 3 tick warning above head) And 2 special attacks:
A wave style special attack which does devastating damage if it hits the player(s),
A randomly chosen player from the group will be selected to “Pop” which spreads to nearby players.,
It has multiple phases scaled for the amount of players killing it,
Notable changes since the video are it now randomly throws some waves during its final attacks before the full wave special,
And the “Pop” mechanic now spreads 2 tiles.,
Really shows you what the lost-city source is truly capable of.

I havent been able to stop playing this server. I am thoroughly enjoying it. If anyone reads this, hit me up in game or on the 2004plus discord and I will give you a black mask!
Just started playing again after a bit of a hiatus and Sams just doesnt miss, the amount of new content that is constantly being put out is both high quality and very fun. it perfectly captures the nostalgic vibes of 2004scape and its great underlying codebase, while offering greater quality of life and new options that allow you to progress your account in new and interesting ways. it also expands upon the 2004 content by adding in new group content to enjoy with your friends. i havent personally played the main 2004scape project in a while but 2004plus just keeps pulling me back. I appreciate everything you do for the community and hope this project fulfills your expectations and more!
