EQ Classless
After much consideration, I have decided to convert the project that was EQ: Battle Royale into EQ: Classless.
Why? Because a full item loot, classless pvp server wasn't as popular and launched at an inopportune time, and the players who went to try the server were PVE players primarily. I believe the fast-paced, classless niche outweighs any benefits a PVP server would bring. As such, I have turned the server into a PVE Classless server with RNG-based spell/gear drops. The server is currently in Kunark and will stop at PoP. Here are the revised rules: - No boxing, strict 1 IP limit - the world is yours and yours alone to travel through. - "Easier" Raid Zones -We've tweaked a lot of the raid bosses to be easier, but with competition via PvP in mind. Future content will include later expansion content tuned to this system. Raid content is tuned for 6-12 players, though raid content will be the least of your issues. - Classless system - All players are able to use and scribe any spell scroll, dual wield any item, and track down their enemies. Double attack is available from level 1, and disciplines are available at 45+. Use any classes' spells in any capacity that you feel comfortable with. Create your favorite hybrid. - All items are no longer nodrop - Hand-me-downs were one of the best things about EverQuest, and having all items trade-able expands on this feature. - Do anyone's epic quest - Ever want to dual wield a Ranger/Warrior epic? Now you can! - Increased Regeneration - Outside of combat, your HP/Mana regen is increased significantly. This speeds up the pace of gameplay. - Increased EXP - With a super-fast 8 times experience rate, it's easy to catch up to your friends who have been playing for a while. - Accurate EverQuest - With the support of the TAKProject database and client, the game looks, feels, and is authentically EverQuest. Working combat formulas shape an otherwise non-classic experience. - A hub zone - The Ethernere. This zone is considered a Haven zone, to let you get your bearings before you go out into the world and start killing monsters. There is a translocator in the town that will teleport you to a few locations, however, if you ask her nicely. Your starting ring will take you back to the Ethernere as a click effect. - RNG-based loot system - NPCs throughout the world will have a chance to drop exceedingly rare items during your travels, ranging from armor, to spell scrolls, to weapons, and more. If you're lucky, exceedingly rare treasures can drop depending on NPC level. Discord Server link: https://discord.gg/mJZUUBm Website link: eqclassless.com |
Ohhh! Much love for this type of server. I've been waiting for something lile this to pop up. Now to locate my old drive with my EQ install!
|
this sounds really cool. i'll have to give it a try later.
|
Core idea reminds me of that Customization Quest many years ago that I absolutely loved.
|
Having played on the server for a few days it truly is a unique EQ experience getting to craft out your build. The 8 spell gems are the limiting factor of your "build". When you group with others, it really encourages everyone to put together builds that work together well. Also you can deep dive into your play style. Want to be the healer / crowd controller / pet DPS? Go ahead, tell your team what you want to do and get to it!
The exp flies with a duo / group. It's already 8x, but with a good steady stream of blues / light blues we were seeing about 10 levels every few hours. (pre 50) Highly suggest everyone checks out this server. It's addicting. |
i was fine yesterday :( now when i try to log in it hits the loading screen for 2 seconds then i get the *you have been disconnected* black screen.

Haven't played EQ (emulated versions) in years. This server is such a fun concept. I am really happy it was switched to PvE. Thanks for the server Secrets.

TAKproject is the MAC client only?..., so I need a MAC or Emulate a MAC to run it? Or am I confused on that?

Supported windows clients are listed on 'Getting Started' on https://www.takproject.net/ |
RoF2 is now the only supported client. We've moved away from the TAKP one.
We are also on the EQEmulator loginserver now, so you can log in using your EQEmulator account as well. http://eqclassless.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5&p=7 |

Can the 'Return Home' timer be reduced to zero when logging in? My character got stuck in a crash-loop in West Commonlands. Tried using the "Tutorial" button at login but now I'm stuck in a zoning loop in Arena. Just need a way to get back to the HUB.
|
I will have to give this a go now. Thanks for moving away from TAKP client.

That TAKP client was so clunky feeling. |
The server is having a problem with zones not available. I am bound in Rivervale but when I gated back the zone was unavailable. I'll now have to wait until the return home becomes available and try that. Also, to get into Misty I had to install the original RoF misty files to replace the ones from the Launcher program put in there.
|
On further review, many zones are unavailable. They do become available after some minutes. Otherwise, a clever idea and fun. Old school in that you have to leg it around until you can find some druid or wiz transport spells.
|
Restarting the server now.
Uptime of 28 days, guess zone is having a stroke. |
Everything is working now, thanks. Come and give it a try. Everyone starts as a ranger but u also get the FD ability. You run around collecting spells, tomes and bard songs, all of which you can use. With pets and damage spells plus the high xp rate it moves fast.
|
Is this server dead now? Noticed it is Down for a while now.
|
Yes the server is down - GM burnt out.
|
always happens, next server please
|
Secrets gave it to me to maintain, I gave it to Millers to dev. He quit, I stopped using my internet/electricity to host his dead project.
|
Would it be possible to post the sql updates etc so that others might work from this idea? I have a server running that I only start when I want to screw around and would like to try this classless idea. (never got to play on the server).
|
Why did Secret gave out server at all in the first place? He looked very excited about the idea just few months back?

Most if not ALL custom code is source related. I do not have access to the source code. |

Many people seem to have a lot of confidence in that infamous green list, as far as reliable, established servers go, but if
you notice, it's no exception to the "come and go" risk factor. Servers of the past have started on the white list, got their population up and got their bump to the green. They all get a big surge for the first while, then it tones down to a lower average. But you also have the devs that run the course of the excitement and don't want to do it anymore. Did they really know what they were getting themselves into before they started ? Nobody could be that naive, as to sit there looking at their life and not know whether they have the time, effort and stamina to keep up with a production server, (or project). Let me see, "I work 8-10 hours a day at a demanding job, I have a wife, kids, family and I volunteer on weekends for my community. Oh hell, yes, I have enough time, no problem, let's get started on that server project. I can sleep next year." There is only 4 servers that have ever maintained a heavy population and been going strong for many years. You will find those up at the top of the Legends list. There was even one on that gold list, recently, that got bumped down to the green list. But it's not like we can all google the internet for a solid, trustable team. It just doesn't exist anymore. |
