They really aren't. That's their claim but it's like FoxNEWS being "Fair and Balanced" - it's a self given title of dubious accuracy.

If you ever want to have some fun try to get some of the devs to talk about how accurate they are.

Or even Rogean - since P99 used the first one you listed as a jumping off point, but then he had to tweak a TON of stuff to actually be closer to accurate because so much was screwed up.
With all with faults, they're lightyears closer to classic than the TLP shit.

I just completed one of the goals I set for myself for Agnarr server.

Dual boxed Tranix with my shaman/monk duo.

I know this isn't impressive in the slightest to most but it was pretty cool to kill them in era with the dual box.

Have some vacation time coming up (4th of July week) and going to give this a go. Haven't played since 2004 (WoW Beta) so need some advice.

Played Cleric/Monk/Shaman, but thinking Wizard/Bard (have a laptop that I could use). Is there a better class than bard to combo with Wizard? If so, which one? I'd prefer to avoid the Enchanter/Cleric (or Druid) combo as that appears to be quite prevalent.

Is Monk/Sham still stupid OP like it was during Kunark/Velious?

Have heard Necros are now the big dick DPS with the DOT changes. Would would combo best with a necro?

Any additional tips? Already have the Brewall maps/mod so I don't get lost (as much).


Goal is to have fun and eventually do some raiding. No expectations past that. Though I do enjoy large epeen DPS. :D

Haven't heard the name 'Legacy of Sorrow' in a long time. Good to see someone from that guild still around. I played Aindra (Cleric) and Aindraa (Monk) from Endorean on Luclin. We were always behind you guys until the 72 man raids came along and basically gifted us the lead. Much respect for LoS. Miss my boy, Lifey Savey.

nec shm ftw! monk shm good specially in kunark when monk get the op passive dmg increase AA with epics they'll be #1 dps or they were on phinigel, not sure with these dot changes but for melee they are.

but necro dots are OP because SHAMAN disease and poison got buffed and druid. so whatever dots shaman share with necro is why necro is OP so shaman will be great dps addition to monk or necro.

Imps were never SI unless they had lingering SI buff from a broken charm

This is complete bullshit. Pretty much everything in original Sol B saw through invis, including kobolds. Just because Daybreak has gimped the game and made everything easy mode doesn't make it accurate.

There's plenty of proof out there, but here's an archive of Nagafen's Lair from eqatlas: Nagafen's Lair -- EQ Atlas

This dungeon is generally regarded as one of the two toughest dungeons in all of Antonica. There are many specific dangers that I will describe below, however there are some general dangers as well. First is that everything in this zone sees through invisibility, which means that corpse retrieval and quickly moving through the dungeon are not really possible. You will need to fight your way through everything you meet in order to move further in the dungeon.

Gotta agree here. I don't remember once inviting to a spot in SolB. Not in the many hours spent there.

But it's fine to do on TLP. I'll confirm that the zone was permacamped way more than guk was in classic so it was safe more than guk was just because of everything being killed instantly.

Might muddle your memories confusing these two parts.

Back in the day shaman kobolds would buff shit with see invis. Nothing had it innately - and I forget what races they'd target (other dogs and LDCs I'm pretty sure of but beyond that, unsure) - but again, no not everything saw invis even early on. I did Sol B KPC and window extensively early on, besides named and the rare mob that got an SI buff from a kobold very little saw invis back in the day. I actually never set foot in Guk for leveling or otherwise until the TLP cycle started - I was always a SolB leveler.

And the roamer that's the guano PH does roam all the fuck over and has a chance of being a shaman - so in theory anything had a chance - but even before evil Erudites were added (my first char switch) invising to KPC was easily doable as long as named weren't up.

I'll admit I rarely did past dogs early on - but every time I dared to try the bats n bugs section it was the bats that ruined my day trying to poke around - OR something buffed with SI. Which again, was a commonly casted shaman NPC spell back in the day before they made them brighter about what buffs to cast. (Just like how shaman NPCs used to use Inner Fire or whatever that joke of low level buff was - they would crap buff the shit out of everything near them)

What's your point? Just because it's a certain way on an emu, it doesn't mean you're not flat out wrong.
My point, you shit for brains idiot, is that I trust them the get old content right, as much as I trust DB. They have logs and they have passion and care about what they are doing, and most of them played the game in 1999 which is what this server is supposed to be accurate to (apart from pok books). And I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

They are accurate, because they care about getting it right. And if anyone finds anything that isn't right, it gets fixed, I know because I've reported stuff and seen it fixed the next day. And it is nothing like Fox News, they lie about being accurate, the few emu servers that care about being accurate, genuinely try their best to make that happen.

lol, "Everything's right!" followed by "I've personally found stuff that wasn't right!".

SolB was crazy busy on live. I distinctly remember waiting lists to get into a group in camps in that zone, even well into Kunark! Shit definitely saw through invis.

I never said everything is right, and nobody has any way of knowing that either. I am saying they go through great lengths to get it as accurate as they can and will fix anything that isn't.
