    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    Hey John thanks for the response. We are big fans of your work and have actually used the EQ2 wiki and VG wiki to get ideas for what we are doing. Right now we're skipping login by sending a packet to the client that passes us along. The idea is to get into the game world first and see what...

    Path of Exile

    Stopped playing PoE because it seemed like the hardcore league was "dead". Most of the time it was crickets and had to play solo, which is ok sometimes but I like to trade too. I'd probably give it another shot if this patch helps bring back people to hardcore. Oh and release this for PS4...

    Not much going on here though. There are only three people on the team who have been able to do anything and we're not really sure what to do now. Part of the problem is real life and not having the time to test things. We have been able to get past the log in screen by sending a packet...

    Everquest II

    WTB EQ2 classic server. Release to about a year in was awesome. Loved the leveling up and class progression.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Good to know. Hope they complete the project and release a server before I'm dead. Not too optimistic though after following this thing for like six years and seeing how the Yeahlight shit happened.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    There has been four revision commits done on the EQ Classic project since January of this year including one done yesterday. Figured I'd just bump this and let you guys know. I still think the project is dead and am curious why Harakiri is still working on these little issues.

    WTF?? Are we talking about some bitter neckbeard or a corporate entity making these threats? Over some 15 year old elf simulator emu server? Oh Everquest...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Did you ever play it? It was all "FUCK YOU FAGGOT" and BG spam in the global cross faction chat. Global spam channel isn't classic. Want to talk to people? Join a guild. Not that hard. Plus some quests are broken/bugged out, major features missing. Shit server.

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    That Kronos one sounds nice. I tried Rebirth but they have global chat? Global cross faction chat? What is vanilla about that shit? I saw that and shut down never to log in again. Either do it right or don't do it at all.

    ***STEP BY STEP to connect to the Al'Kabor server***

    What are your long-term goals for the server? What do you suspect that server hosting costs will be? What size population do you predict will be playing on the Al'Kabor server?

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    We've been able to populate the server list and have the client choose our customer server. Need to work on a few more packets to get to character select stuff. The issue was that the CRC on our packets from the client and server were wrong and thus the client wouldn't trust the server. Now...

    Well it just wouldn't be the Everquest name is there wasn't some neckbeard drama right? The "developers" in the project had a freakout after one of them started collecting donations for a product that isn't even produced yet. We have literally nothing but a few smoke and mirror ways to get...

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    Yeah we're having a hell of a time with the world server part. We've been able to dink and dunk and redirect our way to this point but have kind of hit a snag that we don't really know how to get around now. It is to the point where we are reaching out and trying to find help but finding...

    EQoA always felt more of a sequel to EQ than EQ2 was. EQoA is a simple, classic, grindy game that forces you to group. EQ2 is a solo quest grind WoW clone.

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    Right now most of our work is being done with the original vanilla version of the game. The idea is that once we have this client up and running that perhaps we could follow a classic timeline and release Frontiers the 7 or 8 months after. Secrets, if you need the vanilla game iso, the...

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    Thanks for taking a look Secrets, I really appreciate it. We do have one packet log actually with maybe 30 thousand packets or so. I wish we had more but this log does have the login procedure and a lot of game play in it.

    Posting an update: We are past log in and currently at the server select screen. Still looking for a few good devs that can help us build a world server. Support this beautiful and classic EQ game!

    EQOA rose colored glasses thread or "How I learned to MMO"

    We were able to create our own "patching" server to get to this login screen. The client connects to our makeshift server but we're not exactly where to proceed from here. It looks like the client connects, server acknowledges, receives the login/registration data but doesn't know what to do...

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    First, when is OP going to be a man and post here again? Second, who is going to step up and build us a classic EQ server and take our money?

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    Me too. I want to group up and grind mobs. Is there anything better than some of the group chat and /ooc that happens when grinding? I'm sick of collect 5 whatevers quests and grinding boring meaningless quests to level. I'm waiting for a fresh classic server to play on, will SoE shut up and...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I think what people want is a fresh, populated, classic server. P99 is great and all but the timeline is way off being stuck in Kunark for so long. I personally would love to experience the classic world with the trilogy client where everyone is starting over. That's why people are still...

    Enlightened Dark: Ascension EQEmu Server

    Unzip the EQ package that you downloaded. Add the files from the zip minus eqgame.exe from the server website. Open the eqemulator server picker program, go to options and point the program to your EQ directory. Pick the server. I'm not at my home pc so if im missing something someone else...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I've been following the project for almost 3 years. From what I gather they are still years away because of having to build a true classic database. Can someone with better programming insight comment on this? Where do you think they are and how far away do you think the game is from being a...

    Enlightened Dark: Ascension EQEmu Server

    Go to the bay and search "everquest" the result "Everquest Underfoot Client for The Grand Creation server" works for me. You'll just have to use the patch from the ascension blog website. Even with 5 seeds I was able to DL it in an hour or two.

    Enlightened Dark: Ascension EQEmu Server

    I ended up getting it to work. I used a UF package found down at the bay that is meant for The Grand Creation server. I extracted the zip of required files from the website to my EQ directory (minus the eqgame.exe, if I used that it would break). Then I pointed the eqemulauncher to the new...

    Enlightened Dark: Ascension EQEmu Server

    Spent about an hour trying to set it up. I'm surprised there isn't a guide to connect. People who have only played P99 and aren't very familiar with EQemu are going to have problems getting on without some directions.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Isn't it time to either wipe this thing or launch a new server? Banning the whole server from raiding, despawning and manually popping mobs, shit is fucked up.
