Huffwins was also training Gaeldar/Esildor and his brother Minsc and their friend Manbear in ssra and seru. They brought it to the forums with screenshots months ago and Tem did nothing about it. Every Tem I've met has been nothing but kind to me, but they really should have done something.

That's a fair point. Al'Kabor definitely had some black sheep even before the PC client. It's just I know full well how IB acts from my interactions with them on p99 from a couple of years ago. In all honesty it's not the hacking and exploiting that pisses people off as much as the bad...

A Temerity member, Huffwins, trained TSE's Rallos attempts, preventing them from entering the elemental planes. Mostly because TSE did not want to join rotations like every other guild and took every mob they could while also constantly ridiculing the other guilds for not progressing as fast as...

Project EQ's server goes up to GoD currently. EQ Emulator can go up several expacs higher. The emulator and the database are separate projects. I also used this past week to get around to making some videos I neglected due to joining a raiding guild that was in hardcore progression mode...

The mission I have given myself since the shutdown notice is to assist Project EQ as much as I can for the next month. Project EQ is the main database for the emus. If anybody else wants to contribute, an easy thing to do is simply log the min and max hits of various mobs-- especially in...

Does anybody have a Veeshan's Peak keyed character they wouldn't mind letting me use?

That's just it: long solo downtime was the primary driver to get people to form groups. You won't be reading books or watching youtube in competent groups. All classes become much, much more efficient in groups. This is why EQ is a "required grouping" game-- not because soloing is 100%...

If I were Sony, I would take Al'Kabor's server code+database+old zones and make it run with the modern PC client-- which I assume already has a 'progression mode' to strip out certain things for the progression servers-- then use that as a new progression server that will never go beyond PoP for...

Some of them certainly do know about it. I talk to Elidroth about it occasionally.

Oh no! HUNDREDS of hours! I'm not sure MMORPGs are for you. If you don't enjoy the leveling journey then why play the game? I realize WoW turned leveling into a one week linear quest grind that preceded the loot badge collecting, but classic EQ was more about the leveling than anything else...

Oh if only they were as skilled at pit waring and botting CH rotations as you guys were. I suppose they should have had their cleric player pay for 5 accounts during the time the server had a subscription while botting the heals? Must suck to have that guy get banned. Sounds like something...

Yes, and once it leaves the control of Sony, you will find MANY eager programmers more than willing to fix those things. I'm not Hobart or Secrets, but I can certainly fix some of those things myself. The problem with the Test server is that server is modern EQ. I'm sure if I told people at...

Need a disgruntled, possibly about-to-leave SOE employee to copy EQMac's server code plus NPC, item, and quest database and release it into the wild somehow (torrent, usenet, megaupload, wikileaks, whatever) EQ must be saved from those at Sony who would destroy it

Why the hell do people keep making EQ emus and then remove what made EQ what it was? Out-of-combat regen alone is a huge deal breaker, let alone removing the entire raiding end game. What's the point? Might as well play WoW and have a superior UI while you 'raid' 10 mans. I play EQ because...

Let me know when Rogean does something about the terrible state of the raiding scene on that server

Smed is just killing EQ intentionally or otherwise. Everything Sony has done post-POP has been to the detriment of EQ. He WoWified EQ1 PC, turning the game into something that is nothing like the game we remember He made EQ2, from day one of the design doc, NOTHING like EverQuest He killed...

I think the GMs were treating Al'Kabor like the PC servers. And their policies are probably set up to not ban paying customers unless they do REALLY bad shit and get caught red-handed. Even then they still don't permaban. GMs WATCHING somebody warp around with hacks and train people gets them...

And I hope bad things happen to that stupid fucking moron New Age Soldier guy. Way to release a warp hack publicly on a free server with no policing hosted by a company barely staying afloat. Fucking idiot.

So in other words, Smed let the hackers win. Instead of doing something sensible, like implementing a small sub fee to pay for the single GM that could police the server, he just decided to shut it off. Thanks for letting people like Relapse win, Smed. Let me explain what has been...

The PC client has that problem. You have to turn off your filters (spells, bard songs, etc) and other's hits. I've gone linkdead with NO combat going on, with just the raid standing around close together, when I had filters on. Just one of many reasons this game makes me wish I had a...

Will this be an EQW alternative? I would love you forever if you could make a wrapper that makes the EQMac PC client work more like a normal program and accept input to background windows. Also to fix the movement keys getting stuck problem which is beyond aggravating. Fixing the alt key...

You have to remember that they put in their own code in the client DLLs. That code sends over all sorts of identifying information about your machine, so not even a VPN by itself is safe. Every machine has unique identifiers like your NIC's MAC address, so when they see said machine with a...

You can get name changes here? How does that work? SOE shouldn't allow them for this very reason.

Well as somebody who plays late at night and checks tactics a lot, I can say that I've never seen Temerity or Destiny pit war. The only person I've seen pit war was some dark elf shadowknight named Korrupt and his enchanter. (he even killed the diaku overseer with pit mobs. nice)

If these people are making PoP zones unplayable with trains and crashing zones left and right, then they would be disrupting the server to the point of people not wanting to play it anyway.

Time for another round of naming and shaming. This time a botter using a warp hack script to level characters with a fedex quest in Sanctus Seru.

Make sure you're usingeqmule's 2.1 versionwhich is the latest, and make sure you have theMicrosoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)installed.

Yeah, I'm sure Temerity was just terrified of another EP guild and it had nothing to do with TSE coming to eqmac and acting like the assholes they are; laughing about not joining rotations, showing open contempt for everybody there, pit waring AAs, duping, RMTing, and god knows what else...

The joke is that you don't realize that your behavior is why your guild failed. Only an emotionally immature person with self worth issues would dislike somebody simply because they were worse at a video game than they were. Those who aren't laughing at you pity you.

The reason why many people go to PoP as soon as they can is because PoP zones have a significant ZEM and killing higher level mobs gives substantially more exp. A late Luclin patch changed the exp formula to decrease low blue exp and increase red yellow white high blue exp which I thought was a...

That would depend on what where and how you AoE. For outdoors zones, a bard puller would probably be preferable-- or even some indoor zones. Usually for indoor dungeons however, you'd want a beefy high resists tank. Although if you're pulling something like the caller caves, you'll need a...

For all you HotkeyNet PC users: I discovered something yesterday that you might want to use. <SetActiveBackgroundWin> will switch window focus without bringing the window to the top, so you can hit your macros that change focus to another client and back again without it briefly popping in...

Nirron was in TR and it still won't stop me from calling TR a bunch of shit bags. If for no other reason than it's easier than saying "TR are a bunch of shit bags except that one dude who is super awesome" every time. However a guild isn't a race. If the guild refuses to remove...

I play in the top down view. (hit F9 once) Also, in that view, you can look down without moving downward while levitating by making sure your first person view is level or looking upward. You can use page up and page down while in the top down view to control whether you are leving downward...

Inglourious Basterds - One of the old p99 guilds Transatlantic Rampage - IB merged with another guild; active during P99's early Kunark era. Ridiculous name. The Syndicate Empire - The third? iteration of the guild IB's core members formed on eqmac after moving here. They had a couple of...

It's not fake; I shot it myself. Here's another one. This one shows him warp hacking. The tactics footage is two distinct incidents several minutes apart. He was also rambling in alliance chat with the usual 'Tem and Dest are bad!' crap typical from TSE members. Not only are...

Smile, you're on candid camera. GMs had a ticket with that link in it less than an hour after it happened. Don't fuck with the dude with a 20 gig ramdisk.

Oh great. First some jackass named Zeref intentionally trains me and other people using a speed hack, now the login servers are unresponsive. Al'Kabor getting DDoSed perhaps. Nothing I hate more than sadism. If only Karma were a real thing.

Does anybody have a copy of EQW 2.47 somewhere? I want to see if that version works better, but the EQW website went down god knows how long ago. Somebody should track down the dude who wrote it and beg him for the source. Maybe there is a way to modernize the program so that sending...

I don't move my windows, as I use 3 physical machines, but try the SetWinPos comand. i.e. <SetWinPos 1050 -10> If that doesn't work, use the Run command to execute a batch file that will copy an already edited eqw.ini file before executing eqw.exe. i.e. <Run C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe "/c...
