Should we bring the Scorpious2k server back?

Scorpious2k · #1 10-10-2006, 07:02 AM

I have been asked this, and since no one is running a clone right now except Sarland (Gothic Circle) and it is being highly modifed, I thought I would pass the question on.

I would help as much as I can, but would probably let Dindoleki and Mattmeck run it so I could concentrate on working on the new game.

I voted NO.

Reason there are enough servers already.

I said YES but only because I have high hopes.

Little back history

S2K was a "G" rated server, family friendly.

100% customly spawned, with 100% custom quests, and several custom zones, and has the custom Merchant class.

Bans come quick for hackers, exploiters, and people who dont respect the G rating.

There is events scripted to turn certain zones into holiday zones, holloween, X-mass etc. With custom loot, backround music, mobs.

GM events were frequent, and Donators got a decient cape (not overpowered) and access to custom made zones just for them.

errr, nice PR, but when i played bans never came when guides became corrupt deciding to spawn boss mobs over and over again for loot. also, when people were duping blue diamonds and event items, what happened? absolutely nothing. and the leadership DID know about it =P

I don't know what you are talking about. Bannings were swift in everything that you mentioned once it was found out that this stuff was happening. The dupers weren't perma banned but the duping exploit was fixed and there was no problems since.

The guide(he had a lot of GM commands, guides had no power to spawn mobs) that was spawning low level npcs with loot tables of the targets was caught and banned within a few hours after the npcs were discovered, he was already disliked by most of the people on the server and his equipment on his "legit character" which was a mystery for awhile all of a sudden made sense. As far as I know after those two incidents there was nothing that happened that was anywhere near the same level. Other than that one guide all the guides did their job correctly.

I think you quit while the things were happening or missed the actions taken against them. Within a day or two after both of these things were discovered they were banned. The GMs were almost always on and many of the people who I knew were always on the watch for suspicious things and were in contact with the GMs quite often about things which didn't seem right.

Anyway playing on the Scorpious2k was the most fun I have ever had playing EverQuest, I would donate all I could to bring it back if I had money. :(

Plenty of servers, but very few quality servers.

Voted yes.

One of my fav servers of all time. About the only one I ever stuck with long term. If you guys bring it back up I'll tinker around on it for sure. Fun Server.

CrabClaw · #10 10-10-2006, 09:30 PM

I vote yes! I love seeing custom content vs. the stuff I payed for too many years.

Kassatsu9681 · #11 10-10-2006, 10:58 PM

s2k was the only server worth sticking around for, and it still is.

Love the hated / loved

I played the s2k server for a while, and had a great time. I am assuming, if you bring it back, it will be a fresh start? Or will it be possible to still play as my old character?

Voted yes either way.

#13 10-10-2006, 01:50 PM

No character wipe, everyones old characters are still there.

I kept all your old chars around for 6 months.
nobody claimed them so they got wiped.
S2K is still alive and well.... just in another fourm now with a lot more custom zones and items.

I been working on the code for 6 months trying to get it updated to version 7.0.
I do run a clone of it but it's totaly different from the orginal one so I say go ahead and have at it.
