The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

I think it doesn't matter to the kind of player they wanted to attract, did a very good job of it and some could argue too good of a job.

I'll spare you the McDonalds is also popular spiel but my take is that was a lot easier than sussing out positional aggro with hide/sneak, and which mobs could or couldn't see through hide sneak in the classic era.

Honestly if some of you were having fun, then great. But I'm more on Torrid's side of wanting to preserve what was great and classic, to more of a philosophical extreme but not at all in the way of monkeying with code that you probably shouldn't be touching anyways.


Aside: I agree Daybreak is *fucking horrible* and I'm sure the people working there truly hate the original spirit of the game. Thank God for M&M and Pantheon. Yeahlight is the only guy who was truly going for the realness and he snapped when we refused to help him test a custom content server. Why is everything gay etc, nevermind.

Wtf are you talking about.

If you want 1999 eq then play p99 that is the point of that emu.

This was a solo eq server and amazing at it, that was the point. Why the fuck are you even arguing this dumb shit?

It was a fun server for a while. But the grind at the end was annoying. It had its share of flaws. The gear grind to get everything up to legendary was fucking brutal. Something like 0.14% per mob, one item at a time from memory, in POF at the end when I quit in PoP. The end game consisted of doing the same in era raid over and over for loot and some side shit they added, like sleeper, for augs. Once every 13 hours if memory serves. The rest of the content might as well not even existed. There wee only a few items of any worth out of any expansion, usually some rare ass raid loot and some of the augs that were OP. Other than that items for the most part were worthless.

AA grind was all done in dragon necropolis which had the best exp rate. So you basically hung out there from lv55 or whatever until your eyes bleed or you got like 1500-2000AA or which ever came first. Then the next expansion came out, you did all the flags, whatever, and you were right back where you were at the end of the last one, grinding the same raid over and over and grinding legendary gear and augs. Unless you got supper luky and a legendary piece dropped which was rare as hell which you didnt have to level.

They were supposedly adding HCSSF and SSF modes which I was kinda looking forward to. Going through all of the progression again SSF style would have been cool. Since most people just twinked out their shit with raid gear since it was so cheap on the market.

Like I said fun for a while but like everything it got old near the end. To tell you the truth the most fun I had was doing all the epic quests on several of my characters during Velious (when I started) when they were still useful.
