Addicted Dads
About us
The Addicted Dad’s server was founded by like-minded IT oriented 30-somethings who grew up playing EverQuest. It seems no matter what games come out, nothing quite stands up to the entertainment gained from EQ. Our server is heavily inspired by a server that shut down spontaneously about a year ago named “Nagafen's Lair”. The level of difficulty and flag progression was just right. Addicted Dads was customized entirely from ground up using PEQ DB/Quests cloned in Oct 2016. Code from Sept 1 2017. Our Goals Addicted Dad’s is intended to be a ‘casual progression’ server starting from ‘Vanilla’ and ending with PoP. We allow 2-boxing and currently enforce a 2 clients per IP limit to maintain the correct atmosphere. Almost all content sub-raids should be achievable with a proper 2-box, while raid content may require a full group. We have some custom content to encourage actual progression. We have done our best to make it engaging and encourage everybody to experience the content EverQuest has to offer. This is achieved through a flagging system to advance to the next expansion pack (Kunark, Velious, Luclin, and POP). We believe every player has an investment in the server, and a right to transparency. Any questions will be answered to the best that we can, and below is a complete list of changes. Current Server status This server is to be considered in BETA status. Content has been beta tested through Kunark. While Velious/Luclin/PoP related changes are complete, they are not well tested yet. Technical Server stuff Hosted in a North American data center with a 100/100 mbps connection. Server is Ubuntu 16.04. Forums http://addicteddads.proboards.com/ Please visit our forums to download the custom spellfile required. We're just getting started with our "public" presence so the forums are a bit... basic. Server/Gameplay Changes:
Experience Changes:
NPC Changes:
Spell Changes:
Item Changes:
Custom Player Hub:
As noted above, server is to be considered “beta” so there are many issues to fix (mostly content/balance related). Please post bugs on our forums and not in this thread. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to see you on the server soon. Corporate |
Hmm.
Was Nagafen's Lair db used? Seems identical lol. |
Servers like these have all the goodies attached, everything auto so a player does very little to work his toon and get through content quickly,
then ride in to the sunset until another quick fix pops up on the list. You can make six months worth the content, but if it doesn't have all the goodies, increased experience, auto everything, etc., it's not so popular. Some players say they don't have time for one long grind server, but they have enough time for 5 or 6 short grind servers. Wash, rinse, repeat. |

Seems fun so far

Yep, it is heavily based off NL. Wonderful dad server gameplay!
Here's the source change I made, and built code Sept 1 2017. You can see with #version in game. corpse.cpp Code:
if (!IsPlayerCorpse() && inst->GetItem()->Attuneable) { Here's the deattuner script. Code:
sub EVENT_ITEM { |
This sounds really cool. Good luck and hope all goes well!

on many servers, since soloing has become more popular. In my own opinion, I personally think of modern EQ as an Online Single Player game now, where one player can logon and play the game without the need for a population to progress in the game. Of course, having other players to talk to while you do your own thing could be an individual preference as well. I've seen some players leave their toons sitting around in the "hub", or wherever, which makes sense, if they leave them logged on while at work, etc., if the server supports the /afk thing, but if they are sitting at their puter doing nothing for a few hours or more, then no, I would not understand that, lol |
Pretty impressed overall with this server. The staff seems to update the server with patches and fixes every 2-3 days and the community is pretty active and helpful. Fun casual progression for sure.

remove the box limit and people might play on it
no one is going to play 2 chars on a low pop emu server |

I for one would not play there if people ran around 6-12 boxing. Those servers are a dime a dozen. All a matter of personal preference :) Also probably worth mentioning I play with a couple RL friends, so we make up our own group if we want to. |
20+ online is classified as dead

Right, cuz you're the mayor of the internet. Fuck outta here, piss off, git gud noob.

Ya that sprinkle seems to be on some kind of childish rage today. But he's probably even thinking people value his opinion (and behavior).
