This isn't the 1990s anymore dude. This server probably uses less bandwidth than a home cable connection. I played two characters over a single dial-up modem on 50+ player raids 10+ years ago. My upload is now nearly 500K/s and I don't have the expensive cable plan. That is 100 maxed out...

Well at this point, all it costs them is electricity. Smed making it free to play without adding the usual retarded pay-for-power store bullshit was actually a really nice gesture though. It's something Blizzard would never do. I really, really don't want classic EQ to die. My choice of...

EverQuest uses UDP. The frequency of checks the server does to see if players are within aggro radius of mobs is reduced here. That is normal/classic; I remember sneaking past mobs in dungeons just by running past them quickly. The server code was written for machines from the last millennium...

I've been 6 boxing and I don't notice the lag you describe. My autofollow works fine. It doesn't take 5 seconds to target something. (isn't that client side anyway?) I do get the occasional 1-2 second delay before spells begin casting though, but I've been PBAoEing pulls of 20ish and not...

It has nothing to do with the server. The PC client hack just sort of chokes when a lot of data is sent to the client. You wouldn't see it unless you were raiding or AoEing a lot of mobs.

Has anybody found a remedy to the client lag issue when using the PC hack? My enchanters just turned 44, so I'm starting to PBAoE; and even with small pulls of a dozen or so, I'm getting what looks like packet loss on the latency meter in the corner. I haven't tried larger pulls just yet, but...

I should mention that I lost about an hour's worth of exp. I strongly suggest that people force a save by zoning or camping if they get a valuable drop.

Why in God's name isn't there a broadcast before the server reboots? Or a forced character save? Nothing like dinging 15 seconds before the server goes down, then logging back in and seeing I'm at 74% into the previous level. And those 'soandso saved.' messages are bullshit, because I got one...

Yes, most likely. Your antivirus is probably blocking the hack from working. Secrets (the hack developer) altered functions in the wsock32.dll in EQMac folder. The game is to use that version of the file instead of the one in your Windows\System32 directory, and your antivirus doesn't like...

Well obviously I don't believe PC users on the server is an overall bad thing, as I am trying to help bring more to the server. I want Sony to release an official PC client in fact. I can just understand why Mac users would feel that way. P99 and EQMac have very different communities. Two...

It's kind of hard to blame them when the worst of Project 1999's dregs came to the server. P99 was full of sociopaths. Luckily some of them got banned.

There is also a PC client hack to allow PCs to log in to Al'Kabor so you can play it without a Mac. The original hack was created by Secrets, an EQ Emu dev. It was disabled in a client patch, but a new working hack was created by eqmule, an MQ2 developer. PC client installation instructions...
