Re-Introduction to Raid Addicts (Custom Legit)

[Mortykins]

Hi Folks,

Shaking off the dust and making my personal comeback to the server, hopefully people will put aside a rough past and allow me to re-join the community. My apologies to those who were affected.

With that being said, on the second of June the server turned 13 years old of course I haven't been really active for the last year but I still have some people logging in once in a while and decided that if there were people interested I to would also return.

This year I am finding that I am very rusty but I have activated the old Promo Bot which for new players that will be great however there is nothing currently going on for older players however once I get used to everything again I will do something for them as well.

Started the facebook group which you guys can get the spells from for the server.

Also as usual the old Wikia is still up:

You can also email me and ask questions or ask for assistance I am always available there:

kingmortenson@gmail.com

Thank you to everyone in the community , would love to see some new and old faces on the server soon.

6/30/15 - Updated to latest build

[Kingly_Krab]

I'm glad you got that stuff working, I crashed out of Teamviewer and you weren't in Teamspeak.

[slayelol]

Promo bot also gives players a full set of Tier 2 armor, runes to get some custom spells, and Epic 3.0, which the turn-in is done by going to PoK, and then to Dreadspire (The big orb in the middle of neutral side)

Ill post a screenshot of the anniversary items once I get one together

edit

[Mortykins]

Yay nice screenshots, we are now ROF / ROF2 compatible (Thanks to KinglyKrab's assistance) as well so be sure you guys log on and hail the Promo Bot in the player hub (near where you zone in at , looks like old school RZ) Looking forward to seeing everyone take advantage of this promo

Promo Bot has been finished, made sure to remove the flags from all the old school toons who used it back in 2009. That way all of you can still log on and collect it's rewards, tonight I added 2 new items to the Promo Bot one of which being the FIRST Raid Addicts Power Source slot (which works) Be sure you all get on and take advantage of this soon because the promo bot will vanish soon!

Server : Raid Addicts

Besides the spellfiles, is there any other files needed for this server? I.E dbstr, globalload

[Mortykins]

Nope just the spells will get you going. Look forward to seeing you there as well as others, i'm always available at my email for questions to if you get stuck plus it seems some of the older players have returned so they can be quite helpful as well.

So after spending all day on it, I'mma have to say that I've yet to see a place with as welcoming a server owner and community as Raid Addicts. Several people were on answering questions and giving a helping hand, including Mort. Bravo to Mort & others for being such great people.

Glad to see you're having a good time Shade, hope you continue to do so! Mort just added a new potion vendor in Kerra which will help you new guys out with damage shields and healing! Best part is the potions are pretty cheap! He's also added an EXP potion quest to the soulbinder in Kerra!

We're also working on more improvements and of course bug fixes for all of you new guys!

Edit: Gonna start a changelog type deal here

- Added Potion Vendor and EXP Quest to Kerra
- Added Basilisk of Kerra quest, giving a nice weapon to low level players (Level 30+ recommended)
- Completely rebalanced Vex Thal (starter zone) making it much easier to break into for new players.
- Moved the Instrument of Godliness and DPS Aug quests to Kerra (Level 70+ recommended)
- Rebalanced several Tier 1 encounters to be easier for newer players

More will be added!

7/4/15 - Happy 4th of July EQEMU, to celebrate we will be activating double experience on the server starting today and ending in 1 week


Recent Server Changes and Highlights :

• With assistance from KinglyKrab we have polished quests in kerra ridge and vexthal decreasing the amount of confusion as well as lines of code. TY KinglyKrab!
  
• With assistance from Wingofdoom and KinglyKrab we have improved the efficiency of the teleporters in Kerra Ridge, nice work guys!
  
• Going zone by zone and adjusting the intensity of mobs for new players thereby in my hopes creating a more user friendly approach pattern to tiers 1-3. (working on the possibility of giving tiers 1-2 an almost solo player difficulty by utilizing the servers 3 goons)
  
• Addition of the #GUIDE command in game which details out server features, popular zones for experience as well as popular zones and mobs to obtain gear.
  
• NO MORE TRAINERS : We haven't taken them away entirely because people may still use them in order to train tradeskills however standard skills are now automatically set for players as they level up.
  
• Working with new players and old players to get an overall smoothness built into all of the work done here over the years in order to keep a steady player base

[slayelol]

More changes in the last day or so!

- Thanks to Kingly, we are now fully updated with the latest binaries! That means thousands of new AAs!

- Nearly 300 NPCs have been changed to be easier for newer players to handle.

- Many old school quests have been moved to Kerra to be easier for newer players to find!

Come check us out! Its a blast!

HI Folks,

Just an update, we have ended the promo bot, as well as double experience thank you for all that logged in and participated. I just wanted to chime in again and thank KinglyKrab and Kimura for all of the hard work on the restoration of the server in the last few weeks ! (You guys are the best)

I had to go ahead and do a slight rollback tonight due to a few mistakes made in the database (my fault for a lack of communication) but we are back on track and up and running again. For this mistake I am planning on setting up a tracking / SVN or LOG system that will keep track of all changes made by us from here on out.

To all of the people in EQEMU , would love to have your input on the server now, my team and I have worked hard to help make things on the server from tiers 1-3 more smooth , that is about 7 years of work that we are basically streamlining into something that is basically soloable for everyone.

Also keep note that we have current Binaries, as well as up to 3 goons in game per character via our goon quests.

• When you Start : Warrior Goon
• Monk Goon: Quested in Kerra
• Druid Goon: Result of the Tier 1 Task also in Kerra

Another huge and wonderful change to the server has been the addition of many quest npc's added to kerra that were once scattered in god knows how many zones.

Keep in mind the Tier 1 Task is a great place for people to get the best step by step active tour of the servers old content.

Vex Thal - People are absolutely loving the new release of the starter zone ( we killed eruds crossing because no one liked it ) , Kimura and Kingly coordinated with myself to get this zone nice and smooth for new players, we also plan on adding to the zone later.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK FOR US

Direct Questions here via PM to me or my email ..

Hi folks,

My name is Jordan Mortenson, i am the creator and owner of Raid Addicts. I wanted to tell you all that i have fully appreciated my time in this community since around june 2002 or so. The first server i joined into was Krushers (Semi Legit) , I was of course inspired by King Krushers amazing configuration of Everquest. As a fan server i have strived to replicate what was not only Everquest Custom Content, but also a fun filled environment known as "Raid Addicts".

I would like to announce that I have finally finished the level 100 spells on the server and that means that all 16 classes are now able to obtain them via "ThurgadinB" and will be expanding outward from there. (more zones will be released soon with the spells)
