still no eq classic server?

[bbum]

why? its what everyone wants, even people who have no idea about eqemu, tons of people would get it just to play a legit eq classic server, whats the deal?

why are we wasting time with these dumb customs >:0

- pre kunark

- no soulbinders

- no pok

- no newbie quests

- no bazaar

dont think i forgot anything there, now make it!!!!!!!

[dragonflz]

Well I say grab the bull by the horns and have at it! There is nobody stopping you from creating one!

Actually I do miss the 'good ole days' when there were no soulbinders, and getting to high hold keep from halas was a '%^%$' and dieing sucked so bad you just didn't do it :-).

The good old days when druids had jobs people could realy solo if no one was on and what was it, been so long ago 50 was max? a silver was worth something and people would love to get a full suit of bronze on the tank......
Sevral of us are thinking of working on that i dont want to post anything till we are sure many projects die before they get going.....

I've always been interested in making a classic server.
Although I'll admit that kunark was my only real favorite expansion. Been toying with the idea of setting up a server with just classic/kunark stuff for quite awhile now. I have a few long-time eq players who would be thrilled to play on something like this...

In the near future I think I'll setup a classic server and then setup the kunark zones. But not anytime soon tho. Best bet is to make your own and just fool around. ^_^

If they just stopped at Kunark I would have been happy. I miss EC tunnel trading so badly.

[ryder911]

Ya I Up to velious, after that, all the expansion sucked imo. I would love to see a server with velious or under.... I would def. play it!=) I miss seeing a ranger with a SSOY ad thinking they were uber, or seeing a warrior in bronze and thinking they were uber. I miss all the people yelling at the twinks running around in GFAY. I miss what EQ use to be=( lol

[Virus11]

I remember when I "twinked" my character by giving him 700pp, I was like OMG i'm RICH BI0TCH!

[drakken]

bumm have you any idea what goes into developing EQEmu and putting up a server? And you're paying exactly how much for the priviledge of playing? $0 is it?

Rather than complaining how about some gratitude for what's being done here?

And if you're so worked up about this then spend some money and time of your own and put up a server! You can then do whatever you want on it, customizations or no.

Let me know when it's up so I can log in and complain. =P

Id nut my pants if someone make a classic EQ server, (maybe kunark and velious).

It would be especially cool with a little pvp in there too.

[Virus11]

Hehe, well it's you lucky day! Circle of Elements is Classic and Kunark only!

[bbum]

I dont know how much work goes into these servers, but i would seriously be willing to cancel my 3 eq accounts to help pay for a server

a silver was worth something and people would love to get a full suit of bronze on the tank......

lol bronze armor! that gave me a flashback of my first time learning about how to not ninja loot, when i was hutning in unrest and i gave the small bronze armor pieces that dropped to the dwarf warrior i was grouping with

I have a few long-time eq players who would be thrilled to play on something like this...


a few?!?? theres hundreds and hundreds of people on every eq forum that would set up eqemu just for this

i dont know what it takes to get one of thsese servers up, but id help and get involved in away i can

id like to see all the effort of the 15 servers no one ever uses in eqemu put together for THE server, the eq classic server

[eq]

Once I Get My New Interface Or Wutever From Patching Fixed ,


My Server ,The Timeless , Will Be Velious & Under. So Be On The Look Out for It :D

If It Is Up , Pls Visit For PoP / Nexus & Etc .


PS : EC Tunnels = Trading Area :twisted:

[Virus11]

copy cat

[Shadow-Wolf]

not really, his idea is velious and under yours is kunark

[bbum]

well how about you two come to a comprimise and go eq classic :)

the two of you could do better together

in eq classic +15 hp items were uber then by velious +50 was uber

i think it would be cool to start at eq classic or kunark then expand to velious

plus, arnt all those extra zones extra work?

in all eqemu servers ive joined the npcs dont work, is it possible to make npcs and quests in?

if not then screw the eq classic server lol the whole point is so that the old world content isnt trivialized yet

[blastoma]

Yeah doing 1 expansion after another is the best way to go. It is a fair bit of work to get the zones setup. But most of the general work is already done thanks to everyone here who has taken the time to use packetcollector and log pathing and such. Only small details and some portals and things like that may be missing here and there... but all of that can be fixed in a short amount of time.


As for quests, unless someone has already taken the time to write quests in by hand, its all up to the server op to take the time to research every single quest and write all the quest text and events in. All in all, only a handfull are worth doing anyways. And putting quests in is easy, anyone can do it. ^_^

[MindMage]

I think a pre Planes of Power server would be very cool. If I had any idea how to set one up, I might just do that. But right now I can't even get 5.7DR3 working because when I run world.exe it comes up with a boatload of DB item errors and when I try and login in it says the server is locked. And yes, I followed the instructions to the letter on the link below.

No errors during compiling of eq database. But it's a DR version, so I understand there is no support.

Our server is custom but only expands out to Kunark. I too liked EQ better before Luclin. Kunark and old world are my favorites, but Velious was okay. Oh but I do like the Luclin graphics even thoguh they're a big phat resource hog. :)

Our server is being geared so a single group of people is all that is needed for "raids". I hated the whole raid scenario in EQ so that nonsense won't be making an appearence in our server. It's basically geared towards people who used to play old school pen and paper RPG's.

Basically it's like EQ starting over. In a way it's similar to the premise of EQ 2 almost. Big apocalyptic type events followed by a slow emergence of civilization that spreads across the continents.

Server is down until sometime after June 8th, but check us out when we return. :)

[x-scythe]

If they just stopped at Kunark I would have been happy. I miss EC tunnel trading so badly.
dude that was so awesome...then the stupid bazaar came and screwed everything up...having like 200 people in the EC tunnel was so cool

[blastoma]

best was getting overloaded with plat and not being able to move hehe, good times in ec tunnel 4 reel

I <3 n00bs flaming w/ >5 posts

[bbum]

yeah i remember i gave a newb darkie 500000000000000 copper or something and watched him walk back to neriak lol sooo funny

velious was my favorite and most hated expansion, some of my best times were in tov but it ruined a lot of old world stuff, but velious was when it really starting becoming a big raiding grind

if we cant transfer the quests theres really no point in making a eq classic server, the whole idea was that i could go do some old quests that were the shit back then that no one knows does anymore because you can skip it and buy something better at bazaar for 20 pp

[monalin crusader]

For those of you who want an EQ classic server I got one up and running now I had a pvp server i was gona make but it seems alot of people would like to be back in the good old days with pre-kunark/velious. I will expand to Velious nothing more. Not sure when it will most likeyly be when we have alot of peole who are 50 and need something else to do. Till then i hope you all enjoy it. Name is New Horizon. its running 5.7 DR-3 If this is a problem for anyone i cna always upgrade to 5.7 DR4 bu alot of those op codes are still messed up with the latest CVS dump and i'm not gona try and fix em so when the get the next version out with less errors i will upgrade.

[blastoma]

Yeah, that last cvs screwed my server up reel bad. Sitting at DR3 for awhile. Gonna ninja onto your server and pwn crushbone if you got it up. ^_^ On my live druid i didnt know about snare till lvl 20. omg that was so gay. i was such a train whore back in the day. :D something to be proud of i guess...

[monalin crusader]

Ya DR4 Sucks right now so much op codes messed up. I got the npcs up now and it should all be running fine its up as of now and uh i'll be on a little later working on the website some.
