I figured I would post here and explain a little about the server since I am the current admin of it.
Server is ran on a 2.1 cpu with 1 gig of 400mhz dual ddr ram on a t1.
I am currently working adding 2 more zone computers to the server. So that should be working soon I hope.
As far as I can tell there have been bugs and alot of servers have them =(
Also i know there is the issue with the lding during fighting. Not much I can do, but I can tell you that the devs are looking into it.
So I guess I would like opinions on the server as it is now.
Also please post here what you would like to see more of so I can get some ideas on what needs to be added =)

Brightblade has been my server of preference. It's been fun to play on. With the exceptions of a few bugs that seem to plague other servers as well, it's been great. Keep up the good work

BrightBlades is doing great,
The GM event help the other evening was fun - heres hoping to see more of those.
I'll just be glad when the zoning bugs are worked out - The other bugs just throw a little spice into the mix.
The one other thing I would like to see is some of the less populated areas have the respawn rate increased - basicallly any zone with < 50 critters.

I've been having a lot of trouble not crashing while playing on BB.
Did you mean have problems crashing, also what are you doing the most when crashing? Just curious
I think most of hte problems come from when I try to target a player/npc then I get a lot of general crashing and sometimes a buffer over/under run(cant remember which).
Those are the main ones.

I've been having a blast on brightblade!
I'd really like more zone severs, and more high level zones populated, like PoP zones. If not more high level zones then make the respawn rate on the ones we have faster.

Yes. those mobs arent there. The only thing i can come up with is theyre waiting to respawn, or are respawning. just keep considering them until they hate you again :)

Very nice server, kinda small and cozy, which is cool.
Only problem is that I tend to go LD a lot...but usually I just drop to char selections screen and go back in. Spawns seem a lil slow too, like someone said previously.
Other than that, very cool server. Non-legit is kinda boring and legit is too much like Live so Semi is typically the most fun imo.

Just a bit of advice. Alot of the zone crashes seem to be related to bad zone lines.
Even in the "complete" databases such as TCSMyworld ive found many of the zone points to just be completley screwed.
Any time you zone at the zones safe point seems to make that zone about 10 times more likely to crash. On my server I've noticed that zones that have 100% fixed zone lines hardly ever crash.
Might be worth a look if you havent dont it yet. Almost all of the "Default" zone lines need ot be manually corrected :(

Hi! I have been two days without play and when I have gone to play in the screen to select character appears that the zone is unavailable.
The server is crashed?
Conan
12-22-2003, 04:00 AM
Over the weekend the server locked up for some reason. I restarted it this morning all seems to be working again.
BB is real fun....I'm a 65 war/41 Paladin there, and I love it...
Except for :
-Stone Etched Mallets...
-Soul Devourers of any kind....
On other servers, both of these weapons caused lag and deleting them helped a little. I am not sure if it will help BB, but sometimes they do make the game unfun for people who like to use "real" items.
-A lot of weapons have -=Archery=- as a skill....that EQEmu, the database, or your server?
-DMG bug: What you see on your screen...You get hit x2 for...(e.g. I was in earth, 100% hp, 7.9k hp, no aa's. Was hit ONCE for 1172 (towering guard of the council or whatever) and I died instantly...I was at 100% hp also...
Good things:
-Lots of zones!! :D
-(kinda not good, but its kewl!!!!) When you die...YOU GAIN EXPERIENE! YOU HAVE GAINED A LEVEL. WELCOME TO LEVEL 65!!!
That happened to me tonight.../woot...
Keep up the good work Con....Server 0wnz...
P.S. Your server does great, It killed Fish Wolf Dimensions server :P GRATS! that server was good...but now it suxx0rz!!!

See the reason they hit so hard is because a while back people were haveing so much ac. I take a look into change or reduceing the damage that the npcs use. As for the 2 weapons. I will look into removeing them or nurfing them atleast =) As for the arch skill. The items had came that way. I just havent had time to try and correct them. Perhaps someone would be willing to send me an updated itemdb. As for if I pull the dumped items they will still have in all the hacked or twinked items in it. Not sure how you got exp from die will have to look into that one too =)
Perl and Quests coming soon. working on setting it up atm.
And for those wondering why I havnent switched to the 0.5.3 dr2 is because if I do switch all the chars will be lost =(

Did I miss a discussion about the character table changing between 5.3dr1 and 5.3dr2?
Conan
12-26-2003, 01:58 AM
Well from the new database that moveing world builders made is that you will loose you chars if you make the switch and warned us of that. I tested this morning and with the new version it infact didnt notice any of my chars that had been there.
The link to the db is here.

copy your db (only the character_ table is required) make the copy the output db. Run in a DOS window. Type the name with no parameters to get the parms and order.
Totally untested. Will probably work :-)

Hi all. You've all seen me online as Myst. As you most know, the Sleeper is one of the only mobs in the game with drops. I've seen links to 1 or 2 of them. My problem is that I made a druid. I attempted solo kera earlier, and almost had her. Problem is, when i do get the drop, I can not wield it. Would it be possible for you to make casters like myself some weapons and or armour that we can use when we do kill her?
Maigus is also almost upon the task...(enchanter)
Watch out folks, I'm trying to talk him into Charming Kera and rampageing through the zone with her...lol
Should be a decent sight...lol
Myst
btw- as far as looseing our characters when you (maybe) switch to 5.3, I do not think it is as bad as you all seem to think. Hell, it took me what? 1 week to max out at 65? Go play live, see how long it takes you...
As far as my other posts, about AC, it IS true. AC does nothing for us here. I tried with max ac and max hp. i lasted longer with the hp than the AC. So when searching for gear, go for the HP.
Happy Hunting,
Myst :D

We tested it last night. I had to modify it slightly - I've got the new WORKING version up so you can download it. http://www.bossmob.com/Myra/CharConvert53dr2.zip
To use it, set up a second DB with ONLY your character_ table in it. In your main DB, delete all the chars from the character_ table (so it is there but empty). Open a DOS window, type
CharConvert53dr2 <host IP> <userid> <password> <5.3DR1 DB> <5.3DR2 DB>
where <host IP> is the ip where mysql is at - like localhost
<userid> and <password> are the ones for mysql
<5.3DR! DB> is the db you created with only the character_ table in it
<5.3DR2 DB> is the primary DB that has the empty character_ table
When it is done, the empty character_ table will contain the characters from the other, but they will be DR2 format

01-05-2004, 11:00 AM
hi. Last night, Jan 4th, the only zone that was up was crushbone.
The game refused to put the zone up to let myst in, so I logged in an alt to movechar him to cb.
a few minutes later, maigus came into my room to complain about him not being able to log in so I decided to bounce my guy over to oasis, which crashed me to the desktop. After that I made 4 alts, and none of the hometowns would let me log in.
(forced em to go play ughhh....Ra) very slow and boreing compared to here. they had what? 2 zones I could fight in?
Conan, they were all down. gonna bounce in now to see if they are up.
for those of you that haven't logged in since 5.2, hope you didn't have any important hotbuttons, cause they all gone now...lol
(you can proly cutNpaste them into directory somewheres so you don't loose them like I did)

Isp had a problem but is back up now.
At some point today I will be bringing the server down for around 20 mins or less.
Reason: The server will be updated with perl enabled for the quest system as well as fixing the Death/Ld bug and the Npc Hp bug.

Cool thanks conan, now all the zones seem down it says ZONE UNAVAILABLE for all zones, concan does the server have a FORUM? if not u should make one would be a nice idea so u can post uptades and when will the server go down there.
If there is a zone UP could u take me there plz m8? the name of my char is "bardo" thanks.

Man this is getting no nasty :evil: now I cant log with my main "bardo" to any zones, after the schar selection screen I clock enter and it returns me to the server window, I can log to zones with other chars but I cant with my main, plz can u do something

I just started on EQEmu yesterday and BB was/is the only server i have tried as of yet. I like it but it does have some bugs most of with have been mentioned already. the only one that really annoys me is the constant crashing. Its like my comp freezs and i cant do anything. Normally i can Ctrl/alt/Delete and close it down when its not responding, sometimes i cant.
Things I would like to see:
1: More Mobs
2: With it being semi-ligit it makes everything alittle too easy
I.E no longer have to kill for uber loots and nothing is
LVL regulated. is there some thing you can add to give us a
challenge?....( if i think of anything ill be sure to post it)

I have also posted about this in the general support forum...
Hi I am wondering if this is a problem that is unique to BrightBlade because I have only encountered it there...
I tried to search for this but I couldn't find any posts. This is quite a problem for me and has happened to me many times. I find that while playing on Bright blade I keep crashing everytime I want to return to a zone I have visited before ie: going from North Freeport to West Freeport and then back to North Freeport will cause the game to crash and a error report option to pop up.
Furthermore everytime this crash occurs and I try to reload my character and enter the world, the crash will keep occuring while loading the character into the world causing my character to be unusable.
Everytime I Had to create a new character and start from scratch... is there a resolution?
What is going on? Is there a resolution?
Ps I am a noob and do not know much about EQ. Thanks for your help.

First off, BB forums has been moved to
http://www.bossmob.com/BrightBlade/index.php?
and secondly, it sounds like the zone your trying to enter isn't up. In that case, make a newbie character, and use the #movechar command. I tend to move them to butcher. it's almost always up.
Should be #movechar <name> butcher
your lucky I still come here. No-one else does. lol

I have not had the plague that the rest of the posts I have seen here <going ld or crashing>. In fact there has only been two examples I can think of that I have crashed out totally or went ld, and that was when I went to befallen <2 times>.
Two thing, however come to my attention that could be worked on <if there is ANYTHING that needs work>. One of which is the pathing of the spawns. They tend to go through walls to attack you. This would not normally be a problem, except that if you are in a tight area, they dont fully come out of the walls... therefore sometimes you cant target them to attack them as they are on the other side of the wall. Also the fact that it makes the sneaking skill totally useless, if they can see <have aggro towards you> through walls...
The other thing that I suggest, is the spell bug. If you decide to play a caster type of character, you are in for some serious trouble. I am sure you are well aware of how it affects the gameplay by now, but in case you dont know here it is hehe: You can cast spells, but after a couple <or so>, all your spells and skills are un-usable. The system thinks you are still casting, and gives you the message "you cannot use that command right now", or "you have not recovered yet". If this were fixed I dont think any other bug on the server would matter to most folks... It is just that nice of a server.
I for one dont much like semi-legit servers, but I have to say this is one that I play on almost daily <well for the last week or so haha> and probably will continue to play on it. One reason is because I CAN summon uber equipment to destroy everything in the zone, but I can also play it legit only summoning bronze at best and so on...:)
P.S. there is ONE more thing I guess I forgot until just now, that I feel I should mention. While you can group with other people, the exp and loot for it is VERY buggy at best, and not much worthwhile <at least from my experience>. As I said, I am NOT complaining about anything about this server, and you could almost leave it as is and it would be very fun for a long time to come, but since you asked <smile>!

BB in my opionion is the best semi legit server that there is, I love playing on it, and killing things...As we all know..the spawns should spawn just a little faster... I really enjoy playing on the server, but going LD is a drawback, and about the "Mobs" that just stand there, and you cant con/attack... they are just respawning, like in chardok it is there alot... BB IS THE BEST SEMI LEGIT SERVER THERE IS!!!
