Default 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.

  • Most doors are unlocked (not all!)
  • Raid mob timers adjusted - Classic 2 hr / Kunark 4 hr / Velious & Luclin 6 hr / PoP 8 hr

Experience Changes:
  • Experience multipliers increased (solo, group, raid, AA)
  • No EXP loss on death

Item Changes:
  • Many out of era item drops removed. (Defiant, etc)
  • Item stats have been buffed slightly across the board
  • No Drop items are attuned on loot, but can be de-attuned for trade (at a cost)
  • Note: due to client limitations (I believe) you will not get a confirmation window when looting an attunable item that will attune (become no drop) when it is looted
  • Fabled items are no drop and cannot be de-attuned (traded)

Custom Player Hub:
  • NPC offering free buffs & cures. Also offers advanced buffs at a cost
  • NPC offering de-attune at a cost/quest
  • NPC offering bind and translocate to bind (gate)
  • NPCs sending you to various expansion zones (if flagged)
  • NPCs selling basic armor and other necessities
  • Banker

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.
