Actually I was planning on making the mega server normal... so no summonitem or other god like commands...

you will still need to play like normal on the sony servers...

Basically it is exactly the same as sony servers, just free :)

(allowing summonitem and other commands is great for a kick now and then but it makes it not fun for the actual players out there that want to play for real)

However the rules will probably be a little more slack than sony server :)

Thats cool, free too Hehehe thats better. more exp per kill will be nice :D i havent even been able to get past 32nd on EQ, thats why i wanted this Emulator...

Yeah I hope this would be a legit mega-server...I mean being God is fun for a few days, but it gets boring afterawhile....

--Aiden

Ive never been God though :(

Sign me up :D

But my webserver only is only a 2Gb P4, with 512Mb of ram. Don't no if thats big enough to be of any use. My router kicks ass though, (Overclocked & water cooled 100Mhz Arm-5 chip)
My downtime is 30secs a month (I like to clear out the routing tables)

The only major thing its doing is sharing a few thousand files on kazaa, and Id gladly shift that elsewhere to run some zones (Can I state a preference for the faydark?)

That webserver is P L E N T Y :shock: ! I can run upwards of 40 zones on my Athlon 1.4, but only if i dedicate it to that purpose alone. I think your 2Ghz can handle 2 or so :D .

but but but i like summon items :(

I like summonitem but i like item creation in general. When you are a lvl 65 warrior dual wielding 100dmg 5dly weapons that proc Strike of Solusek and Can o' Whoop Ass you are havin REAL fun.

Froak?
Fffrrroooaaakkk!!!

ya! or it would be real cool to have free weapons in each armory like in qeynos spawning on the ground :P and they should make realistic EQ like killing each MOB lvls you :P and if you kill a merchant he drops like 5k pp! and magic items should be uber like glow or burn and stuff and kill non boss creatures instantly :D

summonitem i s a lot of fun too cause the WORST part of eqlive was trying to lvl up from low levels :/ and having no money and no anything.

legit would be cool
 

out of the years i played eq i always waited for a new server to come out so i could be one the first people to create a guy on that server and have people the same level as me fighting all the way to the max level...but everytime some person would have there high level toon transfered from a different server and would screw it up for all the low level people that are trying to work hard to start over on a new server. if this server isnt legit it would be the same way...oh well just throwing out my opinion so there it is...later 8)

whens this "Mega Server" gunna be up? i got it working... or is it already gunna be up?

I'm go.
 

I'm willing to dedicate my computer to a mega server.
I can host 2-3 zones, if needed.

655MHz Intel Celeron
512MB PC133 Ram
1.7mbit download/256kbps upload Cable.


Ultra :twisted:

I would be more than happy to dedicate some space & bandwith to this, cept my present comp is just seconds away from being an antique :( In the future When I make my first comp, (approx 3 months from now) Id sign up then to dedicate some space.

As for the server, Yeah, EQlive should be the theme, But a lot of variations on that theme. Nuts to the #summonitem, But #zone would be a good feature to allow players to have, Along with rudimentary GM type features, such as #goto, Not for the purpose of making players Uber, but giving players the ability to take care of certain GM type problems, on their own. But nothing thats going to allow a player to quickly ding, or boost stats, or have unfair advantages against NPCs. Part of playing EQ is the challenge in it.

Content is Key, So with such, if there is a server like this, Id like to put forth the suggestion to have the content follow the expansions of EQ. Reason , and example, Guild wars is prolly the most like a normal EQ server, with content, drops, ect. But there are places , where the drops are not correct, and set up with either nothing for drops, or blanket, server wide, random drops. It takes a ton of time, to assign each NPC with appropriate loot tables, ect, So work on putting proper gear on right NPCs, of each expansion, Once your happy with EQ:Core npcs having for the most part everything they should have, Move on to RoK expansion, and code over time. Either that, or get really deep , down into it, and start creating new content, New items, from scratch.

Another suggestion, Quests from old expansions , Kind of got outdated with each new expansion, (with a few exceptions) So in stead of having to go thru a quest to get an item, that is going to end up being sub par, Place the quest resulting item, As a Drop, on one of the last NPCs involved in the quest. Example: Second symbol of innoruuk, for DE clerics, Instead of going thru a game of back and forth between nek woods, neriak, WC, neriak, Just place the spy halfling at the end of the quest, dropping the symbol.

More suggestions, things ive seen on various EQEmu servers, Is there should be a few select zones, that the second you enter them, You automatically become PvP. The arena becomes the most frequently used for this, But It would be very nice to see a zone such as PoWar also be given this tag.(rallos zek being god of war and all :)
It might also be intresting to tinker with the idea of making all city zones, PvP zones. Very in depth role playing aspects would come of this. PvP has its place, But it isnt at the zone line of a dungeon, waiting for weakened evac'ing groups to get slaughtered. Most people, are full mana, HP when they enter a city, So there would be less people crying foul, cause they wernt ready for combat. Sneaky lil rouges could pickpocket careless tourists, while there shopping the various wares of local town merchants.

But the more content created for this server, means the better the server will be . NE way , just food for thought i guess:)

I can donate space
 

on my box here.

Dual 1GHZ p3 :twisted:
1Gb Ram
Static DSL

I just need to get a new case for it, I'm having heat issues right now in it's rackmount case.

Sure, I'm up for it if needed.. I can host a few zones

AMD 1200 Mhz
762 Mb RAM
