Started a server recently, looking to grow a community around it for those who are interested. The goal of this server is to revisit long-play of Progression Servers.
Server progression starts in Classic, and will open up to a new expansions after extended long-play of content over the course of several months.
Server's progress as of 12/27/2018:
- Max Client per IP is currently set to 2.
- Locked Server to EverQuest Classic
- Level Cap is set to 50
- Added "cshome" zone files for GM use.
- EXP rate set to 1.25x, and Group XP bonus set to 100%
- Leveling is less tedious, but still provides a "grind". The goal is a "smooth leveling" experience for new toons, allowing skills to continue to grow, and players to reach "end game" a bit quicker than normal TLPs.
(These values may be adjusted later.)
- Removed "Defiant" type gear, entirely. These items take away from the need to explore or competition for loot by providing "overdose" stats.
- Set variables to allow use of old zones (Freeport, Commonlands, North/South Desert of Ro + Oasis)
- Set variables that fixed issues with new characters made in Freeport were spawning in Crescent Reach - they now spawn at a "Safe Spot" in West Freeport for the time being. Players will need to run to their Class GM.
Roadmap notes:
- Seeking Devs & GMs to help with the server project.
- Server optimization / outsourcing.
- Exploring PvP based on Guilds, Deity, or Factions. (Community vote / request)
- Exploring Firiona Vie loot rules.
- Exploring providing hot-zone instancing, or raid-instancing, if server population grows to such a demand.
- Unlocking Content in 3-6 month intervals - allowing players to play through content and grow "progressively".
