Scorpious2k Server is up
 

It still has a lot of work needed, but without staff I am doing the best I can. :P

Website is http://scorpious2k.tk

what is special about this server?

Nothing much.

from here

Originally created May 2003, this is a reboot of the server you loved long ago. Custom-legit with many custom items and about 200 zones, 20 of which are custom built from scratch! They are not part of the Everquest package and are unique to our world.

• Visit the Homeland islands
• fight skeletons on Skull Island
• explore the abandoned Homeland Mine filled with strange beings
• see the forgotten temple and the priests that won't leave
• don't miss the magnificence of Copper City (which replaces both bazaar and poknowledge).

Scorpius 2k was very popular back when I first started frequenting this site. I never played there but my son did, it was his favorite server.

I absolutely loved this server. I'm gonna check it out, it's one of the few places you can play on that is truly unique.

What client is needed? :)

Best with UF but most supported ones *should* work.

I never thought I'd see the day. Damn good to have you back!

I will definitely be giving this a try tomorrow! My wife would skin me if I dove right into something like this at the moment. ;)

I notice a few people on, but no one is using our Mumble (voice) server...

Nevermind. Someone pointed out I hadn't given instructions on how to connect.

Ooooooops. :oops:

Also, in the process of setting up the server, I noticed GeorgeS npc_loot_edit.exe didn't work any more, so I got out my hex editor and fixed it if anyone needs it.

Oooops. Looks like Kingly_Krab did the same thing months ago: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...1&postcount=21

Nice work Kingly!

Server is now beta. Listed as Scorpious2k: The Next Generation

We now have the max level set at 130 as it was "back in the day" with the same custom code in the server to support it. So, yeah, that means no more hell levels either.
