Default Lootfest Changes- What's the Hype?

Well in the last 3 weeks on Lootfest, Darkness and Shootsya have made numerous changes and fixes to long-time bugs. Also there has been more NEW things to do then in the last 6 months prior combined. New bosses, items, quests. So much custom loot and content it'll make your head spin! The server is geared to players who like to solo or small group. Also 95% of the content can be done with you soloing or 2 boxing. The almost constant Gm presence is also a nice addition. Always nice to have friendly gms to talk to when you need to. The server population is very friendly as well.

If you use to play here it's a whole new animal now. The Shards quest is now on a task so no more tedious turn ins and now you can work together with other players to earn shards faster at an equal pace! Come check it out!

Aye, Lootfest in the past few weeks has become a MUCH better place to be tbh. There are constantly 20-30 people online, and there's constantly God groups going on. There are also guilds forming for the raid content (As a few bosses require a solid group) if that floats your boat. Basically, what the server provides is this:

- Solid leveling experience from 1-85, you choose where you go and when.
- "Random" loot from mobs with very nice stats (Some is junk of course)
- VERY friendly community (I personally do giveaways nearly every day)
- There's a GM online at least 10 hours out of the day as a general rule, or some veteran who can assist you.
- Entire questline to get your "God" shards to make you feel godly
- Master of the Hunt scavenger quest if you like searching
- Many custom items
- New raid content almost weekly
- Solid raid bosses that require special strats (Nothing is unkillable, EVERYTHING is tested by shoots heavily)
- Raid gear and Group gear that actually makes you feel powerful and compelled to kill the bosses.
- 2 Boxes max allowed with 1 bot on each toon

There's many more things I could list, but you can log on and find out yourself haha. Hit me up on itapu or tazerstwink, Ill get you started out if I'm on

Not to mention I host the server on enterprise level hardware, so I doubt you guys experience any issues with lag of any sort anymore since the past few months.

Soulcold summed it nicely. The server is very enjoyable and the GM's/Dev's are heavily involved with the community and take community request/advice into consideration.

I never noticed lag so thank you for hosting the server Akka and thank you to shoots and dark for working hard.

I gotta say, I just started back playing EQEmu after quite a long break, and this server has been awesome.

Constant fixes, uptime, friendly community, I'm enjoying it here.

This server is not hosted on Akka's server.



Lootfest has been going through some major changes - GOOD changes.
Changes that in the end benefit everyone and allow the server to grow to a NEW and HIGHER potential.

Lootfest has a lot of content and love to give - I hope to see many more on Lootfest - Shootsya and Dark have done an amazing job so far and I am proud to work with them both. Shootsya has to be one of the best GM's/Developer's we have ever had.

Keep it up you two!

No problem you are welcome for the hosting...........

Maybe a few weeks ago I checked there were definitely packets being processed on common zoneserver ports as well as 9000.

I will just delete the machine if you don't plan on using it anymore.

Thanks,
Akkadius

It's back up using less than half the resources it had before which is definitely enough for a testing environment.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,
Akkadius

The hub zone has been recently updated to be user friendly to all clients! So if you are using titanium you wont crash trying to just zone in anymore. =)
