New Progression Server

[xexllama]

*Chode Bird Progression*

Details:

-100% dedicated server with 24/7 up time. Two people besides myself have access if any need for a reboot might occur and I cannot get to a computer.

-Little or no GM involvement. I am using the latest PEQ DB, I have edited the database and there is only one GM character on the server. There will be no GM corruption, GM favoritism etc. I will ban anyone caught hacking (and I check logs daily) without warning!

-Guild competition encouraged. Shit talk, spawn racing and creative event spoiling encouraged.

- 100% Legit minus a few small corrections:
*Central Hub with Merchant, Scriber, Binder, GM trainers and Bank.
*Gate Charm and increased damage on starter weapons.
*One custom quest for an epic .5, to help pass the time while Kunark is being opened (Quest is NOT easy.)
*Spawn times on crucial raid mobs lowered to 24 hours.

did you just basicly say training is encouraged here?

just...suprised is all. never saw that put quite like that on a pvE server before. :D

[Gopdar]

I may be missing something but I don't see this server listed when i log in. Was looking forward to playing on it asap =D

[Redik]

looks like fun

[Draegoloth]

There was once a progression server Before orders of Hasson was out, and i played on it...relatively populated...then it just disappeared. I hope that this server as 100% uptime will stay as we gather more population...i know it came out to day but im excited hehe

[Draegoloth]

Cant log on the server?

**UPDATE**

Apologies...A combination of military over-time work + football games (I play in 2 leagues) left me with VERY little time at night to work on the server. Thanks for So_1337 I have resolved an on-going problem I've had with the Windows Server 2003 O/s.

The server is up, on a dedicated box that is hosted out of Langsing MI. It is 24/7 and has un-metered service.

**SERVER WILL BE UP BY 6PM PST --FRIDAY NOV 07TH!! I have to change the start zone and that's it so give me a little longer ^^ **

[So_1337]

Glad I could help, even though you bashed the shit out of my server =) Seriously, though, good luck to you. It's a blast to do, keep me in mind if you need any other help.

[xexllama]

I disagreed with your policies at the time and said so. I apologized but again thanks for the help, and as promised as soon as the servers feet get wet I'll make those posts as promised.

Let me know if you run into anything! Who knows maybe I can return the favor!

[steel2790]

to confirm this i am one of "llama's" friends for quite some time, it is dedicated and should be up in a few minutes, far as the encourage trains things, he basically means he won't ban someone for training, its not a carebear server by any means.
its PROGRESSION, do what you can and enjoy fighting for the top dog slot!
server should be up in estimated time 30minutes from now, just he's finishing up minor tweaks.
i'll see you guys in game,
Steel and crew.

I toyed around on this server for a bit this morning.The rules seem to imply progression,not classic,or an adhereance to classic standards at all.So i spend a few hours doing the newby armor quests.I show off a couple of my pieces to the others.Sure thing,half an hour later someone who wasnt a GM BTW,comes on and states to the server that newby quests are going to be removed.The person announcing this was the GM's friend.Because the newby armor is overly unbalanced I'm guessing,/shrug.

Well,I wasted 4 hours and will not waste more time,only to have my efforts,if they are too good for someone else,to be taken away.So word of warning to others.

And BTW in classic EQ,You didnt lvl to 50 in a day,play for an hour and have a couple hundred plat,4 box an optimum group.And Kunark will never open on this server if Cazic,Inny,naggy and vox need to be downed.

[xexllama]

Hi,

Quests were removed...but oh wait, if you did them you get to keep the rewards. Obviously getting your facts from anyone but a GM was...wrong.

The server was setup around the preferences of the...server owner! He pays and he plays. So if he wants to play a Iksar during classic, I bet he can, and the other 30 people don't mind.

Also any fabled items received prior to the NERF will be kept on those characters. No one will be stripped.

The point of this server is progression that ACTUALLY progresses...i.e. not spending two months in classic. Obviously expansions like Kunark, Velious, Luclin will take longer. Key quests, epics, and big named will all be in the expansion script.

Anyhow...Latest Updates...

-Starting Quests no longer available
-Fabled Mobs = Toast
-Halloween Event Mobs are gone
-No mage will receive mage epic from scriber
-Pohate and Pofear drops have been slightly raised
-CT has new loot and less hp
-The only custom quest on server epic .5 is finished. Should make classic a bit more fun! (Quest is difficult as well)


More to come...

[xexllama]

Lady Vox Slain.
Lord Nagafen Slain.
Pohate and Pofear partially cleared and ready to open Kunark.

One epic .5 quest completed and numerous others waiting to finish!

I'd say 80% of the kinks are now worked out and we are ready and primed for Kunark which should open in a week or two. This is a progression server...that will progress, not sit around and stale.

Swing by and have some fun!

It took 6 days from start of the server to naggy/vox slaying?

If you added bots, I would actually play it.

[xexllama]

--Mayong Mistmoore added with some drops, should be fun!
--Illusion quest implemented.

*Richardo

Ah sorry, I don't want bots, but you can 2-4 box and plenty of organized people like raiding!

*

*Aendain

Organized raiding can lead to a slew of fallen bosses. I also envisioned a server that actually progresses, not one that sits and stales. The old world content is easy, heck Kunark and Velious are too! It's Luclin that will really hurt. But Velious is still tough!

I just hope some more people join so we can get some nice guild rivalry going in Kunark!!

*

[Richardo]

oh ok.. Well your server seems nice. Me personally.. I enjoy playing more because of bots.

[xexllama]

Quick Bump...

Inny down.

CT on the chopping block next! Then I'll open Kunark.

Kunark is nice and ready to go (Thanks for some of the help So_1337).

[xexllama]

Hi,

-FV Rules now set
-Kunark open!
-Zerkers available for play, and AA's available.
-All epics are working, Greenmist quest working

[Redik]

Bumpage and stuff

Wonder where you got the MM idea :rolleyes:

I had to ban this guy from my server because of his drama. I hope you have better luck with him..

[gnode]

Well, I changed my mind about my above post and thought it inappropriate to do in your thread. Apparently, I am unable to delete it or edit it.

So, what has been said has been said. But I apologize for being immature in your thread.

Good luck.

[xexllama]

I don't mind your opinions.

Ah well I run the server, so...also all feedback I've received has been 100% positive and if you ask my players, I run what some have called. The most stable emu server they've ever encountered.

As for MM, your far from the first to think of putting him in, I do believe Verant developers first put him into the game around June 1999?

Thanks for the good luck, and good luck with yours! I don't force my players to "play nice".

p.s. I'm not banned, guess you didn't figure it out like so many things.

<3

Like how you used shared bank to dupe and mq to warp...

[xexllama]

Wish I knew how to dupe, that would save a lot of time.

Do you have any actual proof to your nonsensical allegations or are you still depending on frivolous logs Oneeye submits when he's not busy crawling up your asshole?

Anyways...Velious will be opened soon, Nice job everyone on coming together (though I haven't mentioned a thing or even played lately) and getting stuff done!!

[eqtest]

I love this server. xexllama has done an awesome job. Thanks for all of your hard work.

For anyone looking for a classic server, this is, in my opinion, the best one out there right now. It is progression, but at the moment I can't imagine playing anywhere else.

[xexllama]

I enjoy keeping things spicy for you guys, and appreciate the warm feedback.

Thanks man!

[Jmele]

Whenever I try to zone, via Paulie, from the Nexus I crash to the logic screen and can't log back onto my characters from the char select screen - any ideas why this is occurring?

[Jmele]

Nevermind, solved. Thanks FAQ.

[rusher5]

What is the name of this server and where are you guys at as far as progression?

Thanks
~n!ck

[Vae]

Piddled around here for a few days and am eagerly awaiting the server's return! :)

[xexllama]

The server's ISP didn't appreciate me using a box as a private game server.

So I am in the process of bringing it up now, just waiting for the last newegg stuff to arrive and I'll assemble the bad boy.

-Devguy

[Sultan]

how is it you are downing bosses so fast , is it really that easy on this server ?

[eqtest]

When is the server coming back up? I'm starting to get the shakes

Are we there yet?

[pasiv]

[Toriad]

Did the server go down already. :(?

[eqtest]

What are you guys talking about? Is this server back up?
