This is something I've wanted to do as well: create a custom classic era server that retained the spirit/challenge of the game but provided a fresh experience to veteran players. I even had a forum set up to brainstorm ideas with some old friends of mine but I couldn't get them interested...

With respect, you replied in 10 minutes; you didn't even look at it all. The quest dialogue is in the log file, not the videos. I even found a few lines that weren't on old web pages. The cards and combines they made were already known and available on the web. I literally went up to every...

Not well documented? I beg to differ. Plane of Mischief

I did every verification step I could possibly do, second order was also canceled. The only reason I'm not level 2 is because that level requires one purchase. They have my bank info, my real name, address, SS number, two phone numbers, and I set up Authy. I tried to email them and their email...

Well I'm only aware of the version of ST that is in east wastes, and when I parsed a couple of the golem bosses in there, they had different max hits and special abilities than Al'Kabor's versions, so I'm assuming they were changed in the Luclin era revamp. I did manage to get max hit data from...

Problem is I have no idea how to buy it now without snail mailing a freaking money order, or doing a skype interview plus emailing copies of utility bills and a photo ID, or paying a huge premium. It's harder to buy it now than it was years ago, which is kind of insane. I'm trying to buy it as...

Fuck Coinbase. They canceled my purchase of one bitcoin (one!) because it was 'high risk' even after jumping through their verification hoops and giving them access to my damn bank account which was verified a year ago. "You may have more luck trying again in a few weeks. Best of luck and...

Is anybody familiar with this 'Dragons Dragons Dragons' anniversary event? I have a gaping hole in my data where Sleeper's Tomb bosses are and this looks like an invaluable opportunity to fill some of that in. More specifically, I could use the answers to the following questions: When is...

I'd be happy to trade 7k shards for a T&T. I'm over 20k easily, maybe closer to 30k. 416 paragon and no tasker's and I haven't even gotten a goblin vault yet. (and I go goblin hunting sometimes so it's not like I had stacks of keystones and never do bounties) Friend of mine got his T&T on...

That effect is chromatic, so it's useless for my purposes

I have a quick question for those more knowledgeable of the post-PoP game: are there any items similar to the Staff of Temperate Flux that allow one to cast a spell many times on an NPC in a short period of time? Or player abilities that do the same?

Wow, only took them 2 years and 8 months.It's not like they didn't have any proof of exploiting or anything.

The team size is small, but there are others. Rob and Speedz are the most visible because of the work they do. (and they do put in some of the most time) I'm sort of a jr. member and most of the work I'm doing isn't really specific to this project as much as it is preserving the classic game...

To clarify, what I meant by p99's hacks are the things like removing target rings, changing con colors, removing maps, and the like. i.e. making it more classic. Also their client monitoring.

Are the zone crashes and run speed issues happening in the later clients? If those can't be resolved we may be forced into a newer client anyway. Hell we'd conserve bandwidth from a client that didn't send duplicate packets I would imagine. I was kind of hoping p99 wouldn't mind sharing...

SOE revamped half the classic zones into less appealing versions, but left Luclin models untouched for over a decade. I'll never understand SOE logic. I hope for the sake of players who actually play the game (I just collect data) that the new loot system makes looting in the modern client...

For a progression guild, I sure see a lot of you using high level characters to get loot or flags for your lower level characters

Project 1999 makes it much easier to swarm than it was on the real servers. Bards do things on p99 that weren't even possible. One thing I noticed immediately on Al'Kabor after playing on p99 was the mobs hit from farther away. (although they tended to have slightly smaller aggro radii)...

It's headed by Cavedude, who is the guy in charge of Project EQ and is one of the EQ Emu devs. Secrets also helps out with some of the hard stuff. The rest of us are other PEQ devs or Al'Kabor refuges looking to chip in. The big difference between eqclassic and TAKP is we not only have a...

Yes, absolutely. Everybody complains about Project 1999 being closed source, and I respect their reasons why, but TAKP intends to go fully open source including database so anybody can set up their own servers using a high quality classic EQ server and database. All of my data will be publicly...

He was three boxing. Only one character (not his rogue) showed a TFO tag and they were all either anon or role. Pneumatic was one of the other two. The third I think was Legoliny, or Sethella. (pretty sure Sethella is a merc) The machine I interacted with wasn't the one logging so I'm...

As I said before, if one person was enough to do it, I'd have begun already. I was implying that additional responses like Tarisk's will only make it tempting. Ignoring someone doesn't make my mobs immune to his damage, either. Just kind of disappointing that the worst experience I had on...

I'm logging hundreds of hours of parses in an endeavor to recreate a more accurate resist algorithm for the emulators. I was parsing a common EarthB mob at the zone in when Slevan zones in and kills it without making any attempt to communicate with me or stopping when I said something before...

Here's a tip: don't grief high level players that have the capability to solo kill your progression guild's raid mobs. Just be glad I'm less of a dick than Slevan is.

Kaesora has a 110 ZEM which is about 1.5 times the standard exp. But yeah if you can handle the zone (big if) it's a fantastic spot. As a 60 druid it was my go-to zone to powerlevel after Unrest and SolA. After that was the southeast corner of CoM although nowadays the server is probably too...

I said it could take you to 40, not that it would be optimal for a full group to reach 40 there. The basement is a fantastic place for the low 30s group though. Upper 30s it's still a great place for soloing or for 2-3 man groups as it's almost all single or double pulls, is outdoors and has a...

Guess my brain sort of assumed you meant unrest from all the posts about it, but unrest can take people up to level 40 or so. A group would probably run out of mobs in the upper 30s though; the basement was prime solo magician hunting grounds in the late 30s. The first evac is of course level 29.

Wizards are terrible, terrible in non-aoe exp groups. If you don't parse your damage and compare it with other classes then you cannot speak to this. Parsers are mature and readily available; get one. Hell wizards aren't even the kings of burst sub level 50, mages are. Wizards weren't even...

I'm sure SOE is thinking something similar to this-- i.e. 'we need to provide premium support for any new servers'. But I would argue that the small, rabid fanbase that a classic server caters to would happily accept a server without premium service. I mean really, I petitioned like 2 or 3...

Yeah, I really wish SOE would get a little creative and figure out some sort of way to involve the hobbyist/EMU crowd so we could both profit from a classic server. They just aren't that kind of company though. Of course it's mostly their loss when the EMU guys are making steady progress...

Well keep in mind that P99 has a TON of ex-players that quit because they hit the level cap and basically had their fill but you can only play around in the same expac for so long before you move on. If they launched a new server, it would be crowded as fuck I'm sure. When red launched, some...

It's still an important issue I don't see discussed enough, really. Even for groups though, I really can't agree that (all) other players are the enemy. Idiots and/or amoral players are the enemy certainly, but if you're capable of playing nice with others, you should have strong allies to...

I agree with the 'EQ is full of bloated crap and is way too complicated' argument but not this: That is essentially an argument against multiplayer in general. In Starcraft and Quake, 'other players are the enemy' there as well. EQ was just designed in a way that put players in competition...

And now you know that I'm not alone in my opinions. I always liked you Elid, so I take no pleasure in telling you that I hate your game (really), but I do you no favors by lying to you. You wanted honest feedback. I assume this thread started because of my PM to you. Regardless, not...

What you're really asking is why people want to play classic EQ vs. modern EQ since the vast majority of EMU players play a classic server. I'm sorry but I pretty much hate everything SOE did to the game post PoP. Literally everything minus shared bank slots. Classic EQ was a challenging...

I saved a lot of showEQ screens of revamped zones on Al'Kabor before the shutdown. Have a look. https://drive.google.com/folderview?...Ek&usp=sharing

I haven't played in a couple of years but unless they've changed it, then the sro camp is a much longer wait. The camp in OOT averages out to something like 90 minutes from my experience, but sro is many hours. The sro cyc is easier to kill though. Not sure a rogue can even solo OOT's camp...

Level 70 and 1 rift later and I've replaced two armor slots with very minor upgrades, plus a new rare weapon on my 200m wizard. Total of 4 slots replaced since loot 2.0. Glad this was worth removing trading for. Removing lifesteal altogether had the predicted effect. The good old days of...

Ok since they are giving out free level 85s, I have a question. Which non-progression server is the least populated? Or if anybody possibly knows the answer to this, which server is the server most likely to have raid bosses from PoP and earlier unkilled?

My friends won't be buying the expac and I probably wouldn't if it were not already gifted to me as a holiday present. I can play maybe 2 hours at a time before getting too bored to continue. The fact that people are getting upgrades and the game is fun again to them because of that is...
