Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

I guess if you want to raid here you should be a bard. My level 47 box bard has been recruited out of the blue by three good/decent raiding guilds. Then they find out I want to play my paladin as a main

Still, not excited about classic or Kunark raiding so I hope I'll find a good fit just before Velious.

Was dicking around today and randomly dcd and came back to a random name change and 3 day suspension. Rip Isis. Daybreak dont give any effs

Yeah even in the email the reason was just char name. I put in a ticket to dispute but not expecting anything for a 3 day. Mindtickle is funny

Some of this stuff is always weird. Way back in orginal, Fall of 1999, I tried to enter the last name of "spinechewer" and got turned down each time I tried. I finally caved and hit on "spinegnawer." No problems.

I am not sure you can easily decode how their red flags go off.

I'm fairly certain that at one point in time all character names and surnames were globally unique. Guild names still are as far as I know.

- Progression servers that have not launched Underfoot now allow players at level 20 and higher to use the Extended Target Window.
- Track now indicates whether your target is above or below you.

Wow, really loving these two patch changes.

It's only in test right now: Test Update 05/07/2019 - Patch Notes and Discussions | EverQuest Forums

EQ's inconstent name filter was because it had a standard automatic filter, but it would also prompt any online guides/GMs to approve a character name. If you were online as a guide, you'd literally get a popup with with "Character name Lllleegholaz" and approve/deny buttons. If the guide did nothing it would eventually time out and approve it, but if the guide denied it, it would also add the name to that server's automatic filter. This is why sometimes it would deny a name instantly, or only after a few seconds (if a guide denied it), and why the naming rules were not applied consistently across all servers (or even at different times of day).

Yup.

One day, early on i was attempted an assortment of childish names. None of them were working then one finally did. When I logged in, the guide or gm was like quit it, this is your name and assigned me some random shit.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the big deal with you tunesters, group wide buffs esp. resists?

That's correct. Bard is a pretty easy raiding class but a really intensive group class since they're usually pullers and CC.

When did shaman get forage? That's not classic, is it? I just realized it on my box shaman today.

My surname back in 99-01 was "Dysphasia" and I was forced to change the name when someone petitioned it because their child had the condition...

I'm currently leveling a monk and my brother is leveling a ranger at the moment on Mangler, and we are looking for a guild to join for raiding when we hit max level.

The main thing is that we're just not in to the "playing EverQuest as a second job" thing anymore. We're old farts, and to be completely honest, the game is more about socializing with friends than being the first to down everything.

We'd like to find a guild that raids once or twice a week with out raid attendance penalties. I know that sounds counter productive, but really, we can't commit to being on every single time the guild raids nor can we commit to being on all through a holiday just because the next expansion unlocked at the same time.

We're looking for good people to group and raid with that care more about the individuals behind the characters than the pixels themselves. What would be ideal is a guild of fellow old farts that raids every Friday night or something. I'm 46 and he's 51, so it's not like we have shit to do on any given Friday night other than play EverQuest or watch tv anyway lol.

Also, not looking for a guild where the raid leaders yell at and berate the guild members. There's no call for that kind of shit. We're all adults here, so there's no reason to talk talk down to one another just because a 20 year old raid boss roffle stomped the raid force. I'd rather laugh about it, and try again than get yelled at and told to L2P.

Anyway... if anybody knows a guild that we would fit in to, let me know.
