Scars of Amerous?

[Kingly_Krab]

It seems this server is returning, as it was online yesterday, however, how is it still Preferred status, it seems unfair it can have such a long downtime and still maintain its status, I'm not bashing the server, it just doesn't seem fair to allow for such a downtime and maintain that status whereas other servers, as I've seen in old posts, have been demoted from said statuses for being down for maybe a week.

Also, I would love to see how this server is going to play out now that it went from 0.7.0 to 0.8.0 and is compatible with newer clients. I personally never played due to Titanium restrictions, but may give it a go with the newer compatibility.

Thoughts, anyone?

[Maze_EQ]

If this is true, spider is working again, I will move back there, this used to be one of the top servers around and since it wasn't updated i never felt like logging in, I give this my reccomendation

[Kingly_Krab]

It's true. http://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverinfo&worldid=770
I see it's 4x EXP, 5x AA, anything else about it that's nice?

[liquest]

This actually makes me kinda happy its returning, by far one of my favorite server to play on. And if its going to be compatible with new clients woot woot lets go

I've met many, many, great people off of Scars of Amerous. As well as many asshats(hi Razorgimp/Crabs/Spike <3). And I've been pretty busy since SoA went down last, so I haven't really gotten into another server as much as I have SoA over the years. Spider/Aerlys/Keolis/Logic(and more) have always done a really good job at what they did and provided us with a great server. Although at first, I didn't particularly like having to do evasive rotations, it actually became quite fun after awhile as in the higher end raid zones it was quite a challenge and you had to always pay attention or you could wipe the whole raid pretty easy if you weren't able to recover in 10 seconds or less heh. But hopefully all my old guildies see this message or see that SoA is coming back and still check in from time to time and we could get things rolling again the second SoA is up up :D. Pugly, Suki, Bloodshot, Tave, Rampage, Slipknot, Shrek, and there are at least 300+ more I'm missing that I hope return! Hope to see you all soon!

Haha i was in your guild and i believe i still am. Not quite sure if my rangers name is Liquest or Mongo but idk if any of those ring a bell

[Esildor]

Assuming all our gear/characters remain, will be curious to see if new content is finally released. Was a huge let-down when we killed everything but Cazic Thule because he was like .. a fucking truck.

If the database was saved and Spider/Aerlys doesn't have to start from scratch, then you should still be in as I neverrr removed anyone, I don't do that :P. But yes, I remembered the name Mongo as soon as I read it in your post :D. Weren't you a monk? But regardless, I am so glad to see an old guildie still around and hope to see you back when the server is back up and back in TPE to help me restart things, cuz TPE WILL make a triumphant return when the server does, you can count on that! :D.

That's because the code on Cazic was an exciting one, every 5-10% he'd change from Spells only to Melee only, to spells only, and back and fourth again, towards his last 10% his damage increased a bit, too. If I'm not mistaken.

I was a GM on SoA for the longest time, then he shut it down without notice and I pondered where it went. As I've taken a new project, I most likely will not be GMing for Spider. =/. Will be sad not to, but... Such as life.

Yeah. We fought him for 5 or 10 minutes at a time but only ever got him to 85% or so, the rest of fear we could clear no problem .. CT was just, ridiculous. Was intended as such to be a cockblock though imo, seeing as how they were too lazy to develop anymore content(i.e. finish Sky/VP). But, Ikkinz was amazing .. I loved raiding that place.

[Burningsoul]

Making me REALLY miss this server - I joined a guild and just started getting geared up right before everyone had a mass exodus from it. Think we did one ikkinz raid and killed the named in Dagnors - won his monk claw. Can't wait to play it again..

[Esildor]

Brother and I started right as the server basically died, Warjoe was running a crew of 10 or so people for a couple months while we were around. Then it was pretty well dead besides us, we boxed everything but Cazic Thule though .. definitely a really fun server.

[TheTillan]

Fenken!! It's Shrek yo!

SoA kicked ass, loved playing on that server. If it comes back I will too. I might be living on a Naval Ship and not have internet, but as soon as I do, if it's up and running I'll be boxing like whoa once again.

Fenken I know you said 300+ more included but I just gotta throw "Bored"'s name out there. I don't imagine he's around these forums anymore.

Character wipe would be cool in my opinion, start everything from scratch.

[Kingly_Krab]

I'm glad this topic brought everyone back together and helped this server out, I'm sure the owner will appreciate it.

[Esildor]

Fuck a character wipe. I donated to get the best shit for some of my toons.

[Kingly_Krab]

I'd think with proof of the transaction you'd get back whatever you put in, you know? I mean, you'd get items due to the fact you donated.

[Esildor]

This back yet?

[iwarfare]

Enigma owned that server for months until it went to shit with gear for cash and all that nonsense. And I personally know that all the scripts for posky were done and were absolutely awesome. Sucks they got too lazy and just stopped giving a shit about the server. The competition for Ikkinz brought that server to all time high populations. Good times..good times.

FU Fenken.

Love, Gimp.

Hey man! Pugly here. I may come back and give SoA another whirl if it's truly been updated to 0.8.0. Would've been back sooner, but I can't stand titanium anymore.

[Nerdgasm]

He was a rather difficult fight. I enjoyed watching people wipe on him, as I enjoyed them wiping on a raid event that I had started, a dragon with 10 mil hp, healed to full health after 2 minutes of combat, you had 5 minutes total to kill him, two complete heals, if you couldn't down him in that time, AoE wipe. Ahhhh yeah... Had like, 30 some people there trying to down him, lowest was... 5%? OR something... Was ages ago though... The best geared people were... Gone, sadly. =/

Ha, never found that dragon, where as he at?

Far as I knew CT was the only thing with 10mill Hps, closest to that were golems with ~7.7 or some such thing.

My favorite zone on SoA by far was Ikkinz, loved raiding that.

[Nerdgasm]

I think we spawned it in Dreadlands. This was about a month before he shut it down.

It was a one time GM event. xD

[iwarfare]

I'll sell you the best geared warriors on the server :)

You must be the guy that spent $1,000 on donor gear on that server. Lulz.

[nbkr1ckynbk]

You must be the guy that spent $1,000 on donor gear on that server. Lulz.

I always laughed at those "Pay to be ubah" people on SoA. Shit was laughable. My brother Xav said hi btw Razergay ;). We need to get together sometime on some server and go to SFG to argue for hours like old times haha. Too funny.

Also, I am pretty curious as to what Spider is doing. The server has been down but up on the server list for a couple? months now with 'coming back soon' next to it, I wonder if he had a surge of interest in bringing the server back when it first came up on the server list then as time went on, he gave up on it. Would be cool if he was able to post on here and post what his plans were with bringing the server back etc so we kinda knew what to expect instead of patiently waiting to see if the server is magically up one day, or it disappear from the list for good :(. Miss that server and all the great people who were on it. Met a LOT of great people there and I would lovvvvve to get a TPE(The Pwny Express) round 3 run on the server and see who all we could get back! Crossing my fingers and have been since I've seen SoA first make an appearance on the server list, that it will make a triumphant return.

It's good to see almost all of my most loyal/awesome officers on here posting, glad you guys are still around and hopefully I could get you guys back playing on SoA if it does come back and get TPE off the ground once again. And see if we can't make the guild even better than it was the first and second time and enjoy whatever Spider has planned for the server. Pugly(fu and the DT in Kithicor that one night still, lol. My brother and I were just talking about that the other day and were laughing. I still hate you for that. :D), and eff'in message me back/email/text me or something you ass. Quit ignoring me haha. Shreky boy, hopefully you and all 80 of your rangers make it back, we could use the DPS haha. I'd love to get Tave back and dunno if he reads these forums or plays anymore, but I'd love to have him and his 80 some odd alts back to help keep raids smooth and fill in any spots that were needed. Guy was a powerhouse, plain and simple. Always solo'in Grummus and doing his own evasive rotations with his 4 wars and running his own mini-raid basically which no one else was able to solo Grummus and he made it look easy but it would take him over 30-40 mins to do haha, just to help a person or two to get their flags, guy was very selfless and one of the best damn guys I had ever had the pleasure of meeting on emu. Rampage, Suki, Xuanzang, Bloodshot, Jimbo, Bored, if you guys read this, hopefully Spider is on the verge of opening the server up and he's been workin on it all this time to bring us some great content and I'd love to have you all back as you guys all were what helped make TPE what it was. It had one of the greatest atmosphere's of any guild I have EVER been apart of since playing EQ since beta haha, and we were always real good at raiding and you guys helping lead the raids and keeping people informed/in line were the reasons we always did so well. But I'll end this post before it gets anymore longer than it already is, just had so many great memories on SoA and again, met so many great people there that I hope it comes back and that Spider/Aerlys can keep it going for a long long time. But alright, if you used to be in TPE and you read this, shoot me a PM on here and maybe we can get a reunion run going on another server til SoA is up, that would be pretty cool, I work a lot but we could make it happen. Hope to get bunch of PM's and see SoA up soon! Hope everyone has been well(minus razorgimp of course...jkk :) )and hopefully Spider gets the server done asap!


PS. I know I repeated a lot of what I already said in a previous post but SoA was a great place and it really gets me excited that it could possibly be returning. I can't wait!

This is unnecessary brutality, I myself would recommend updating to A 0.8.0, but he may have custom code that it would be too much of a pain to transfer over, also, it gives the server that nostalgic feel, taking a server off of Preferred because it's B 0.7.0 is dumb, Project 1999 is A 0.8.0 but only allows Titanium, so should they be taken off? No. I'm sure you can find a cheap copy of Titanium on Ebay or Amazon, but the harshness is unnecessary towards a returning server and is rather counterproductive to the server operator reading your post.

Too long; didn't read: Don't hate, appreciate. Get Titanium if you can, if you can't, that sucks.

SoA has been off market for MONTHS now. And it's still on preferred, that's why it should be demoted. Not because of it's B 0.7.0.

[samismallz]

WOW, I've been thinking of getting back to playing EQEmu when I came upon this post regarding SoA. This is Sam the Ninja btw. I was around since the beginning of the server and one of the co-founders of Enigma. (WASSUP GIMPY!)

Anyways, I came back to the server after you guys had all left and basically brought server numbers up to as high as 60 (although 24 of those were boxed between myself and 3 others). It is also I who has contacted Spider and doing my best to try to get this server back for you guys, but apparently it is taking longer than I would like it to. Here are a few things for you to know:

1) There was an attempt to bring this server up to date with current, but it was delayed for now due to the amount of time it would take to get everything working correctly. It may (or may not) happen, but for now, the concentration is on getting the server up, not updating it.

2) As you former-players are aware, as great as the server was, there were quite a few bugs. For example, Paladin's Cleanse ability (along with doner 2hs) was creating an unfair increase in damage for Paladins. These "bugs" along with completion of Sky and VP are the changes we're pushing for most.

3) As for the "best warrior" comment, I'm not sure when you were last logged in, but before the server went down, the warrior I played with was at 10k+ AC. In fact, I was given access to Crabs (Razor, if you have his contact info, please PM it to me) and I got him up almost 10k AC. Not to mention, my rogue has around 9k AC. This was due to us being able to test Sky and VP. We kind of... found a way into both zones... and by the time we got caught, apparently Spider didn't care enough and said, what the hell, just try it out before it goes down.

Lastly, I have no idea when the server will go back up. I know this isn't a priority for Spider and none of the other former GMs are around to help. I will do my best to bug him about it, but lately he has been ignoring me on Skype, so I'm guessing the dude is pretty busy. I just wouldn't count on it coming back to full active status with frequent updates, unless someone decides to take it upon themselves to take on that burden. In any case, even if it doesn't last long, I would love to get back together with you guys and do a SoA reunion raid in Sky or VP, even if it includes Fengay and his pink ponies. (Love you, man).

[eamxxx1]

yeah, evasive discipline is useless now...what a shit...

No, it is exclusively Titanium, I don't even know if it's open to the public, I see 3 people online, however that could just be the staff testing things without it locked.

It is 0.7.0 at the moment, the db for 0.8 is going through testing...It is open to the public at this time...

Spider was one busy beaver, also, sup Sam =P. You were apart of my GM event when Spider first hired me on. =P...

Anyway, he's always been busy, between the server and his real life issues, he was talking about the server going under, because he had no Game Masters to help out, which is why I was originally brought on... If for some reason he does bring it up full time, I sure hope people do attend and bring it back to the popular state it was.

[HandOfFate]

SoA is now 8.0

[samismallz]

Known issues:

1) Mob accuracy is EXTREMELY high - Mobs are (almost) never missing and hitting for max damage at a much higher rate than before. Trash mobs in Tipt are *easily* killing some of the best geared players. Example of this: My rogue with ~9k AC was killed by Maestro of Rancor. He swung at me 38 times, 26 were hits for about 3k, 7 were parries, 4 ripostes, 1 dodge, 0 misses, and a partridge in a pear tree. He had an accuracy of 100%, it's just that I was able to dance around him for 12 of those 38 hits.

2) Flag mobs are bugged - An attempt on Avatar of War was made last night and he becomes invulnerable at 0% (1 hp to be more accurate). You can swing at him all you want at 0%, he just won't die. He'll still attack you though. Strange thing is, he still spawns gatekeepers. Yes, plural gatekeepers... like a LOT of them all on top of each other and all wielding scythes. Hailing one of them will still flag you, but hailing is pretty difficult with the AOW still alive at 0%. This was tough to do... so imagine how difficult it will be for say Overking in Chardok or even for Ikkinz flag. Those have not been tested to have similar "symptoms", but surely Battlemaster and Rikabi will be tested tonight.

3) Rogue backstabs capped at <1k damage - Those of you that know me know that this is a MAJOR issue for me... Prior to 0.8.0, my rogue was doing in the upwards of 40k backstabs sin crits. After the update, my backstabs are hitting for ~1k WITH crits. This is even after I use Daggerfall (rogue disc that ensures 100% accuracy of backstab and almost guarantees a high damage from it). I have tried this on multiple mobs trash, midtier, raid mobs, you name it. Not cool. Just... not... cool...

Some good things though from update:

1) New AAs! - All those AAs you guys had "banked" can now be used on about 5-10 new AAs that mostly help with damage mitigation and some other class specific things. There is however one AA that shows database error which is kind of weird.

2) Sorry paladins, but your cleanse-on-every-mob ability is now gone. This was one of the biggest complaints on the server for a very long time and lucky (for most of us) it has been addressed. As much as you hate it, even paladins have to admit that this is a good fix. A server is never right if the paladin is hands down the top DPS, and it usually wasn't close with all those donor 2hs. They still do a fair amount of damage and there have recently been improvements in knight (Pal/SK) gear that add abilities like hate generation and defensive ability to make them more playable. The plan is to incorporate more of these kinds of items for knights so that they can (hopefully, one day) join in tank rotations along with warriors. The cleanse ability made pally a DPS machine. Now that that's gone, let's make pallies what they're meant to do, which is be a tanking machine.

3) BOTS!!! - The new bot system is actually really awesome. The commands are totally different so it will take some time getting used to them, but the bots are much better at what they do (clerics actually HEAL instead of DD!) and they have much higher AIs and act much more like PCs. Right now, creation of bots are "free". However, this is gonna cause problems. As anyone knows, bots cause a LOT of lag. Already you can tell cause even though only 9-10 people are on, because each of those people can have up to 5 bots up at a time, that lags down the server a lot... Either we're going to have to take away the bots or the server computer needs to be upgraded, big-time. Sadly, it will most-likely be the 1st choice before the latter. Who wants a server full of a bunch of bots anyway, right?

Anyways, I have to say, 100% of the credit for update to 0.8.0 HAS to go to Rencro, who out of the kindness of his heart (or because he just loves doing this) took it upon himself to get this server up to date. Are there bugs? Sure. But the server runs a LOT smoother than I expected and he was able to do it in such a short time. Really amazing work. Please give him praise where praise is due.

If you haven't taken the dive and tried the server out, I recommend giving it a try. Keep in mind though, as I said, the server is pretty laggy, especially past 11pm EST. Some, if not all, is attributed to multiple bots... so if you're a bot user, try to keep it to buffing and then put them suckas down. Please? Cherry on top? Of your nipple? Thanks!

[Ozium]

can't you just make it only one bot called?, not perfect but works

and thanks for making the newer clients playable :)

[Burningsoul]

Who wants a server full of a bunch of bots anyway, right?

The same could be said about a server full of boxers having their armies permacamp everything.

I get the bots come at a high server overhead, but try knocking the max bots spawned count to 2 or 1, and see if the lag lessens. Something other than watching 2-3 people gajillion-box the whole server. Having bots enabled here helped me to FINALLY progress a bit today, since back before this went down, it was a ghost town that made progression damn near impossible. I found myself using 2 bots and had a blast, while seeming to keep my lag spikes under control.

My love of bots = your love of boxing. There. Just trying to ramble out the devil's advocate.

I agree wholeheartedly, but it's not for all. Personally, I'll love up and down any server that makes progression with one character possible and not mutually exclusive with alternate (and greater rewarded) progression with small groups. Others have their poison. I'm thankful that most of the play styles are represented somewhere at least :)

Btw, Proc spells and Group Leadership AAs are fixed!

The server has went down about 5 or so times in the last 30 minutes, is it being DDoS'd or is the hosting not viable?

I'd love to get Tave back and dunno if he reads these forums or plays anymore, but I'd love to have him and his 80 some odd alts back to help keep raids smooth and fill in any spots that were needed. Guy was a powerhouse, plain and simple

You silly children and your petty squabbling. Have you not yet come to realize -

Tave > All ??? :)

Over my time on various EQEmu Servers I've played with good folks. SOA was no exception. Fenken , DPS, Coins, Gimp, Suki etc etc etc . Ive run with so many people naming them all would be a pain.

I saw that the server was up a few days ago and thought I would check the forums for some updates. Managed to log in yesterday and saw 2 people actually online playing . What I did notice is now I have a ping of 1330 ms :confused: . All your old characters should be there My characters were available at login screen although I didnt bother trying to log them in.

My suggestions are as follows:

1. Stop making it necessary to have Evasive up to be able to tank anything.

2. Stop nerfing the damage of melee players into the dirt. I once ran a box group of three wizards and one enchanter and outdpsed a raid.

3. Put in some fun content :) .

Ill check this forum every now and then for changes . Ive been playing Lord of the Rings Online in my free time on the Servers Elendilmir (The Osgiliath GUard) and Brandywine (Knights of Dol Amaroth) . Looking forward to playing with you all if the server does come back up again in full swing and I have a good ping like I did last time.

Cheers Tave.
