Level cap: 85 (UF Client based - with Hot zones. RoF2 can be used as well, but not fully supported)
Content is implemented from classic all the way up to OoW including SoD and Hot. This is an economy based server. Most things progression-wise will be based on money, and your ability to procure it. You will earn, and spend BILLIONS of plat. Most items are droppable and tradeable. There are hundreds and hundreds of items for sale on merchants in bazaar Content has been tuned to be more solo-friendly, though boxing is allowed, with no cap. Exp rates are doubled by default. Most regular versions of zones are unlocked, but you still get rewarded for doing key quests by turning old-world keys into augmentations so as to modernize your efforts. In addition to the keys, there are also revamped quests hidden throughout the world where the quest is the same as it is/was on live, but the reward may be slightly upgraded due to the effort required to complete such quest. Breezeboot's Frigid Gnasher (BFG9000) is a good example of this. The following list of Hardcore versions of zones are available. These are contested zones. (Instances) Unrest(65) Blackburrow(65) Cazic-Thule(75) Karnor's Castle(75) Lower Guk(80) Sol B(80) Permafrost(80) Crushbone (80) Vex Thal (80 + key) Sleeper's Tomb (80 + key) Temple of Veeshan (80 + key) Kael (85) Sebilis (85+) Kedge Keep (85++) The journey doesn't end when you reach level 85. There is a huge amount of content and upgrades to get afterwards: Unique things and other High-Tier content: Goru`kar Mesa - (instance) become a naked level one enchanter and earn your way to 85 in this zone for great rewards and flags to open other zones. The zone has unique mobs of various levels as well as it's own private economy. Plane of Time (85 High tier - 2 Tiers) (Instances) Tier 1 is a time-trial. You have a certain amount of time to kill mobs. The better you do the better the reward. Tier 2 is just a bunch of very high-tier mobs with great rewards. LDoN - Custom zones with original(ish) mobs. Most are open - These are "Evolving" zones where the mobs have a chance to depop and repop a little tougher than before. The tougher the mobs get the better the rewards get. City of Mist - there are 10 tiers (instances) and each is Increasingly harder than the last and the rewards get better. Mobs in these tiers evolve as in LDoN Droga (85 High tier) - there are 10 tiers (Instances) and each is Increasingly harder than the last and the rewards get better. Mobs in these tiers evolve as in LDoN Other Unique Features: Player created Augments. Almost any item can be made into an augment by the player, making weapons and armor with god-like statistics. Custom Pets: Through an extensive series of quests there are 3 tiers of Godly pets available. These pets are available to anyone, but normal pet classes can get much better Godly Pets. Pet Power Calculation: Individual power of your pet is not only based on focus and level but on the individual stats, AAs, flags, and keys obtained by the player. Pet Info: You can speak with your pet and change the pet's name, choose equipment, and select a race for the pet to be. If you have a Godly pet you can choose a class for it. Rebirth - Your character can be "reborn" into another class. You keep all gear, flags, keys, and AA that are applicable to your new class. You also get a great charm for each class. Collect all 16 charms for a superior Legendary Charm. Collect all 16 again and turn that Legendary charm into Ultimate Legendary Charm. Undead Wars - High level undead attack a random zone now and then. This can be triggered or quested. Offline Consignment Sales. You can post items for sale for High Prices and the consignment salesman can sell it for you at any time. You don't have to be online. Unlimited Storage. There is a chest that will allow you to store almost unlimited items to retrieve later when needed. In-depth quest for Epic 5.0 Lots of Custom AA for further advancement. |
If you haven't been on this server for a while (or never tried it) I highly suggest that you give it a try. If you remember it as a box-fest with high BMI types camping the money spots 24/7, it's not like that anymore. In fact, the community as it is today is one of the finest, most helpful, and supportive emu communities I've had the pleasure to play alongside. It's also lucky enough to have an interested and active developer who actually fixes things and adds new things to do regularly.
If you've been looking for a server to invest your time in, a server that's both solo-friendly and just plain friendly, log in sometime to enjoy the experience. |
I'd play, but I'm banned. GG NO RE on my part.
|
Yeah let's capitalize the word billions like it's a good thing.
Farming truck loads of money to be able to progress in a game is boring. If you turn around and claim the money comes super fast then obviously your model is stupid and based on seeing big numbers to impress 12 year olds. Otherwise good luck. |

All it takes is one query to proportionally lower Platinum drops, player's current Platinum, and item costs. So why hasn't this been done?
|
The server was cool 2 years ago when there wasn't so much fuckery and the progression was actually interesting.
Now there's just too much obsolete stuff. It's a shame, used to love it here. |
I feel like I've become so jaded.
I used to enjoy this (and most other) servers, but now when i try to go back there really is just too much tomfuckery. I want to enjoy this server again, but it honestly has so much going on ontop of what i already knew, and so much that has become archaic that I immediately log out. :( Boo urns. |
My only minor beef is requiring mq2/warp to access some content. Fairly certain if I really wanted it another player would CoH me to those areas.
BUUUT the content is so expansive and upgrades spread all over the place there is no need to get every single drop. Archaic? Obsolete? Y'all cray! Every raid drop past Veeshan's Peak has decent value. Vendors hidden all over the place with items to aid in progression. Even the access keys and quests result in augments used to upgrade your gear. Like the looks of an old weapon with shit stats? Make your own custom type 20 augs! While you're at it, make your own custom augs from nearly any item with those same stats and a variety of slot types available. Very legit feature! Unlike other servers with less variety and less choice for progression, Leetsauce has ways for a single toon (not bots or boxes) to put in some time and reach End Game. The design of the server is so that there are MANY (not the entire population fighting for spawns in a few choice zones) ways to collect platinum to enhance your toon. Instead of hitting a wall at the the higher levels your toon can smash entire zones with ease if you so desire. Tired of farming millions of plat? Use the rebirth feature to retain all of your general AA, flags and gear and reroll with a great bonus! Tons more... Seriously Once u discover all this server has to offer, there really is nothing that compares for a single EQEmu player unless you are multi-boxing, raiding with others or just prefer playing vanilla EQ. -Jethro |
So what you're saying is play the server because it's good because someone else wrote all of the ideas? I mean come on, I wrote his original merchant generator, whether or not he's still using it is beside the point. All he has to do is put in item IDs, make an NPC, then boom, merchant. Hiding NPCs is impossible. You realize MacroQuest can see these "hidden" NPCs. Not only that, if you use warp you can just farm a lot of platinum, bypass all the content by warping, and buy the best gear.
|
I have code that hides NPCs from players with MQ2 until they are close to them :p
And when you get too far away from the NPC it is hidden again. |

As someone who has never played on this server it seems overwhelming. I'm sure it's not but I thought it'd be good for you to clarify to potential new players:
Is all this content set up in a way that it's progressive (IE you get ushered into something new once you complete something) or is it just "here's a bunch of shit figure it out." One thing I thought about a while back on my old server was to have an npc and/or newbie quest that ran newer players (or returning players) through changes, give them tips on where to go, what to do, etc. based off their current progress, items (the NPC can see these things), flags, and other stuff. If the money situation is to the point where mudflation has taken over then just cut everything back by say 90% and make it apply to all cash on the server, including drops and owned money. |
Wowser. I was just trying to share some info about the server.

As for "someone else wrote all of the ideas"... what server here is 100% written by one person? Isn't that the whole idea of open source and sharing ideas? For my own part, I have given full credit and thanked everyone who has helped me with stuff. And I have lucked in to an original idea or two myself to add to the server. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Quote:

So there is no need to make adjustments to drop rates or stored plat or any such thing. It works pretty well as it is. |
