    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Being a "competitive" raid guild in eq is defined by your ability to monopolize relevant raid content and get server firsts. If the top guild shares content then this gives other major guilds a recruitment bump which threatens the status of the top guild. It also gears them out which increases...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Making raid mobs spawn on 24 or even sub 24 hour timers was the worst thing DBG ever did.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Drama is around 80% of the reason EQ is still great. Dima and I were pals before, then frenemies, and I'd say neutral now. He acts like a good guy in public but that's not the case in reality. I don't think he's any worse than a lot of people on progression servers though.

    AoS lost AHR server first. Yikes.

    Abacrone - Custom EQ

    Been playing a lot this weekend, server is still improving a lot. The GM is on quite a bit and is actively fixing things as we play. He added home city porters to Nexus last night, changed some hotzones around, fixed a zonebug in Freeport and Nektulous and removed some mobs in a few zones that...

    Abacrone - Custom EQ

    My experience so far. Made a Dark Elf Mage, my bind point is my origin point which is sort of inconvenient since it's two zones of running to get to a mob. Turns out all the level 1 mobs in Nektulous are removed, so everything is yellow/red even once I made it to level 2. Rerolled as a human...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I pretty much farm VP and CT all day every day because I cant duo Velious and Luclin. We should get together with a few others and knock stuff out. Im Luclin flagged but need items from KT and AoW for 65.

    Abacrone - Custom EQ

    If you look at the EQemu forums you see he is thanking Maze for sharing the NL database from which this guy got the buff bot and probably some other scripts.

    Abacrone - Custom EQ

    Saw this on the EQEmu server list, looks like a new custom content server. Launches on 29SEP2016, so later this week. I'm going to check it out, though the "Aba" in Abacrone makes me think that this is an Abacab server. Abacrone Server The content combines a little old school style mixed with...

    Same happened to me, both my guys were gone but the gm here @SirJames (Sailfish in game) restored them for me.

    I'm also back. Double Necros doing work. I have to get to work on this 65 quest.

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    I enjoyed my time on the server but the overall pace of content is way too fast for me. As it stands new content is being released without previous content being defeated by the playerbase. Not sure if CT/Inny/EoV/Phinny have ever died yet, but Kunark is out. VP has not been cleared but Velious...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I'd love to come back but when I logged in I'd literally lost an entire character, level 60 Necromancer with all but one flag done for Luclin access just toast. The other Necro is back to level 17, yikes.

    Is EQemu login down? I connect and get a blank server select screen. Nevermind it's just me, fucking Japan -_-

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    My memory of playing solo as any melee 30+ without a fungi was pretty much anything you could kill gave such awful exp it wasn't worth killing. I definitely remember logging in with my 36 Monk and getting like 8 kills solo in my whole session before I had to log out. Between slow kills and bind...

    It was never really alive. At best there was 5 online and three quit after getting pk'd one time.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I'm planning on running a server, but I'm about to move to Japan literally tomorrow so it's going to be some time before it happens. If I do it and it ends up happening I'll make sure that in the worst case scenario some folks here will have database copies etc to prevent a situation like this.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Hasn't there been like 5 different Nagafens Lair servers that all closed? Maybe we've run our course. Or maybe Maze is upgrading the forums.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    The overall atmosphere of this server is very good. I wish it were a bit slower so the community grew more before progression happened. Slower exp and 2-3 months per expansion or so would be perfect imo. It would be cool to see this relaunched fresh in a year or so once progression is mostly...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Just camp or zone for 30 seconds. Empty zones close to save server space so when you zone back in it will be a new instance of seb.

    I got my 59 pet spells from Tolapumj. Make sure you're killing him and Protector.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Yeah the autoscribe was entirely level based and ignored expansion. The 61-65 spells will all be in because of the PoP spell system. The 51-60 is up in the air. Idk if anyone does researching here but you may need to research for some spells that would otherwise drop.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I've been trying to farm a particular spell but after killing the mob who drops it six times, he's had nothing on his corpse all six times. Grand Advisor Zum`uul This is one of those issues that seems to plague a lot of emulated servers, where named mobs with confirmed loot tables occasionally...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Get to Solb as early as you can manage the mobs. The exp bonus there is significant. Solb can last all the way to 55. If you get sick of it Seb is good for exp gear and plat, veksar is good strictly for gear and Chardok is great for exp due to the mob density. Raid mobs in classic and kunark...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I've been maintaining my diet of roughly 1600 calories a day for the last two weeks now while I've been on vacation. I had a few days where I ended up closer to 1200 and two days where I was between 1900-2100 calories. I've lost 4lbs so far which is nice but probably a little faster than I'd...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    It has to be trivial to add the nexus port to the Luclin npc. I'm not really concerned with the level of convenience of being in a different spot in the zone. I'd rather have the huge brick of stats on the item and occasionally have to run one zone length.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Imo the right click functionality is the least important part of it since the flagging mob teleports you anyway and you can always use the NL Charm to port back to MPG. He got back to me and said it's a bug, which sort of implies that it will be fixed at some point. Here's hoping, those are some...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I asked him in Discord, but I figured some of you guys who've played longer might already have barked up this tree and gotten an answer, so that I don't have to annoy the server gm with my questions.

    Has he said whether or not he'll be fixing that?

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    None of the stats on the Velious Entry Token are registering, like the HP regen, attack etc. This seems to be a result of it being assigned to the Ammo slot. Not sure if Maze intended for these stats to be pointless but it seems sort of unlikely since he custom crafted all of it and put it on an...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Yeah the pets do work. My original plan was to chain pet for raid mob kills but it turns out that all the raid mobs through kunark can be snared and don't summon (except Phinny) so I've been snare kiting everything.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Bard/Wiz would be cool. Resists/speed/dps and the Bard can probably tank at the group level just fine. Also you can bind anywhere even melee can be bound in any zone.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Yeah but it's tuned to accommodate almost any duo. I just made it to Velious boxing two necromancers.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Oh man it would be awesome if they revamped the lore into something that wasn't incomprehensible shit. Initially my whole draw to EQ was the lore, and it's why I stuck w/ it over DAoC back in the day.

    For the spell effects you need to go open the custom spell file you downloaded and delete anything over 40k.
