[EQ] Free EverQuest Classic Server - It's Good To Be Back
Posts
Used on Amazon from $22.05. Not like you need the CD key...
just wondering if i can invis myself then run in and turn in.
I'm thinking if I do any important quests for loot I'm going to document it with screen shots in case my items get eaten.
XBL: Aspis 9
Lotro (Landroval): Cleomenes [Champion], Ilithano [Captain]
and correct me if i'm wrong, but as a DEF necro, the militia is glares threatningly to me, so that would be KOS correct?
Regardless; brutal,merciless,and multiple deaths have been a nice reminder if days past. I may burn out quickly, but I'm hoping the pure nostalgia keeps me interested in this at least until LGuk. I miss Guk.... ever since instanced zones have become the norm, I've NEVER seen the same sense of community(or rivalry) that formed between groups in LGuk.
I'm not sure I want to join up with Exquisite, since I'm likely to dissappear without notice, but if anyone needs and enchanter, feel free to look for Maarkov and see if I'm online and/or high enough level.
Says to put
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998
... in the file, but does that go to Project1999's server?
not like there are mandatory raids or anything.
eqemu i think is the login server that all these emulated EQ servers use, project1999 is the group that is running the physical/virtual server.
you need to follow the eqemu setup to be able to authenticate with their servers.
I foresee a login to a naked-ass Jeebo. D:
No business but war. No family but death. No mercy but the grave!
When I log back in tomorrow I will be greeted with a minigame of frogger as I try to get out from behind the Orc highway where our group just moved =/ friggin rogue.
Also I came across a massive (bigger than an ogre big) Kobold with a stupid name I have never seen of/heard before, any of you guys before Kunark recognise him?
edit : For a Pally shield quest in the 40s apparently, devs are dicks, almost ran into that guy in a level 1-8 zone
I miss my old EQ days. I had crap for gear (well, some good bits)
but I had every damn tradeskill maxed for my shawls.
unfortunately, they were wasted because I failed 8 times in a row on the 6th shawl and god damn mermaid hair was a pain in the ass to get.

It might work differently in this version, but originally you could, sort of. Initiating a trade would break invis/hide (but not sneak), but you could then re-invis (I was a bard so I could just leave the song running, or you could get another player to inivs you) and do the hand-in. Of course, it was possible you'd agro the quest giver if you are KOS. At some point that got nerfed, IIRC.
Anyway, it might be difficult to pull off since you can't sneak.
I'm pretty sure there is an easy way to get up to dubious, I know I did it on a DE character once, but that was a rogue.

Lol, you think that's bad, when the server first started it had about 8 level 20ish human/elf/dwarf NPCs that were KOS to trolls and ogres wandering near the entrance of guk and within spitting distance of Grobb. Troll guards wouldn't help you out either. Apparently they are for some quest, but only one is supposed to be spawned at a time, not all 8. You got it easy
I rarely post on these forums, but I'm Pyrocat from the P1999 forums and SA. It's definitely worth giving this server a shot if you loved oldschool EQ. I always thought I was looking back at EQ with rose colored glasses, but I started playing this server again and it was just as addictive and wonderful as the first time I played. I was one of the first level 50s that didn't share accounts to do it and I'm still playing as much as I can, despite the lack of new content. Here's hoping Plane of Hate comes out soon
P.S. Troll shamans best shamans.
I forgot why I stopped playing EQ when I hit (I think) 15. The game gets really painful.
For now I'm having fun, though my ranger actually disappeared. It's ok, he was only level 2, so I'll start him up again, but weird.

Have you tried hitting alt+enter? It almost always goes into windowed mode whenever I start it up but I just hit alt+enter and it's just fine. It also goes to windowed mode if I alt+tab out of the game and I have to do the same.
either ALt-Enter, or go into your .ini profile and change the "WINDOWED=YES" to "NO"
Or change it in your video options from in-game.
So last night, after I got on, I didn't see a server called "Project 1999", so I joined the biggest one, assuming it WAS Project 1999. Went through a couple minutes of the tutorial stage, looked around, realized how much I hate the controls (turning with the mouse is incredibly slow). Then I heard that Project 1999 server was down.
... So I waited and logged in later last night. Oh man, I had no idea how classic it was. I figured at least they would use the updated character models, hah! It's amazing how terrible the graphics are. Definetly a classic experience.
My problems lie in the UI now. I really need to sort it in a way that flows. Hitting Tab to cycle through NPC's is very hit or miss... and swimming is just a failed venture. If I step into a puddle, I drown... I can't swim up, no matter what I do. Sometimes I can't swim at all, I just stay there in place, not moving forward or backward.
Getting drunk is a ridiculous experience... I drank maybe two or three things, and was drunk for what had to be 20 minutes of disorienting movement. Extremely hard to play, and enjoy.
Going to have to dedicate some time to this and see if I can get back into a smoother feeling EQ. Have to get used to the controls and whatnot... it's just rough going at the start.
.
Also tab targetting is 'previous target' rather than closest, I think.
And yeah I don't know why they didnt give you the option to choose luclin models, man were they a lot better.
When do INT casters get meditate anyway? is it 4 or 5?
INT casters get meditate at Level 4.
The Luclin models were, and still are, horse shit.
Original models > Luclin, Velious armours had really awesome textures as well.
Does Feign Death Break charm?
Are the original pets and fine steel delay in?
Can you give other mobs bad 2 handed weapons to slow their attack?
Is is the old monk avoidance? (I think that was changed in luclin)
DO SNAKES STILL KICK?
I'm probably going to play this. I'm probably going to install this after work tonight if my RL friends aren't on DDO.
Edit: Oh shit, the forum even has rants about training and killstealing!
Edit2: I'm so fucking excited about this. EQ is one of the games where you get a sense of accomplishment. After spending so much time getting your teeth kicked in, when you finally get that thing it's a fantastic feeling.
The only other place I've had that feeling is in Civilization after being gangbanged by all the other civ's and finally pulling out of it to roll over all of them.
1. Good question!
2. I believe so.
3. I don't think so.
4. No idea.
5. YES!
In other news, I hit level 7 with my pally tonight and my RL friend hit level 7 with his cleric. We have blown by my other RL friend who still has a level 3 wizard, lol. Oh well, he can't expect me to sit around when he's not on, can he?
I wanna be a noam chanter, but the draw of a bearded dwarven lady is strong.
Quick questions that have probably already been answered,
1. Is it just base EQ (no expansions?)
2. Do they plan on adding expansions?
3. Can I relive the exploits of Fancy (the famous bard and champion of sand giants)?
1. Just base EQ at the moment.
2. Yes.
3. I guess so...
Level 15 and just now I start wondering. Fairly sure stam is good but...should I be going for strength or agi or dex or...? Halp.
He can't on #3. Training people intentionally on this server is a quick way to get perma banned.
Which is an authentic way of reliving Fancy's exploits.
