Shut up Crythen!

<me> ok

Good. Now that that's settled...

Heh, everyone here knows by now that GW is back up, under the leadership of MadCoyote. It seems that yes, Image did actually quit. Even though his post said , showing that he planned to not quit, only take it down and work on it.

I must admit though, that when I got on I was appauled to see the HP regen bug rampent, and, yes, people were exploiting it without actually petitioning it. Many petitioned it I'm sure, but I know that some people went out of their way to try and get it back and then deliberatly exploited it (as in killing stuff they normally couldn't). I'd have THOUGHT they would have learned their lesson but... whatever. Sure, exploit all you want. It's not like THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED IMAGE TO QUIT... assholes.

Another server to pop up using the GW database is Killspree's server. If you wish to make the transfer, however, you need to specifically request your characters be coded in. He didn't save the players database.

Alright, well, c'ya all in game!

If EQEmu can team up with Sony then it would make EQEmu a whole new world of adventures.

Good points Raguel, very convincing for a stance supporting cheating. While I do agree with a lot of it, especially that part saying the instability of these servers makes it so it isn't really worth your time to play legit, I'd still have to disagree on the rest.

Although the server is indeed pretty unstable, and you are risking your time being thrown away by playing on it, some things have been done to counter this. For one thing, the GW server's EXP is accelerated, and it takes only a week at most to get lvl 50 from what I hear. The loot is also a bit picked up from what I've seen, and I think monsters are more likely to drop goodies.

As for another part of your post, concerning the reasons we came here, for all I know it may be true for the most part, but i think many others (like myself) came because we don't have EqLive anymore and want to get back to EQ after years of play. Thats why a server as similar to live as possible is preferred.

Well good post anyways, even though i disagree with a lot of it.
And don't don't bother trying to maturely discuss things with these kids that are flaming you, they don't understand anything past saying 'what are you smoking' or 'your head is up your ass' so its really pointless to introduce reasoning to them.

Guys...if you really want the MOST legitimate server...the BEST support and events...NO bugs...and no zone downage...

I suggest one thing.

EQLive

13 bucks a month is nothing, hell you probably spend more than that than the lotion you use every night for pleasure.

Maybe you wouldn't be torturing eachother with server issues.

First, I would like to appologize for what I did and didn't do.

What I did do was exploit a bug that I had found when I had gone to make arrows with my ranger on GW .. I was able to make countless arrows with buying only a stack of each item that I needed.. I went on, figuring it out further .. and started making silvertiped arrows.. and made some pp from it...

What I didn't do was report it.. which is what I should have done as soon as I spotted it.. what really kept me from doing that is something about when I buy things from merchants, I seem to lose much more money then I should when buying from them... which kinda got to me at the time.

Again, I wish to appologize for that..

Sorry,
Dhamon

i'm glad the GW server is back up. i Usually play it when i get bored on live. and the haxed servers are no fun because you don't have to work for anything... but oh well. i lost my level 29, Walwein, but that's okay because he had crap.

Well let's see here...
 

Hullo there everyone, this is my -very- first post, so please be gentle with me if you find you must flame me or you have to defend yourself or if you are required to dismiss my post as a flame. Weeeeeeell, here goes:

I just recently found EQEmu, and you will probably call me a newbie for it, but whatever...I have been an EQ lover for a year now, and I despise the fee I have to pay for a fun online game which I go to roleplay at. It's ticked me off, of course, that Ver...er...Sony Online Entertainment has done such things, but they have a huge staff of people to pay who are constantly working on updates, expansions, and patches. Now then...onto this topic...

I just wasted about 30 minutes of my time listening to rants and flames and other such things, so here's what I think...I love Legit servers, BUT I enjoy the ability to summon armor, change levels, and all around help people enjoy the game as much as I do. I would gladly walk into Naggy's lair, inspect all the things going on, make a bug report, spawn Naggy and up his loot maybe just a little bit...then have a bunch of people come and whomp him while I smile and watch them, then maybe enjoy a bit of roleplaying afterwards.

I enjoyed EverQuest because I could be with my real life friends, while meeting other people online and making new friends. I think that many people complain way too much without realizing how privledged they are already. No one has the right to flame on this board right now...Everyone here is darn lucky that Sony hasn't sued EQEmu for copyrights or stealing customers. We have the ability to choose servers, even if they are unstable, make our own characters, summon items and uber lewt [if non-legit], or you get to have your own character in which to run around in a VAST area with friends or by yourself...How many of us can visit a tree city in which the guards smile and gladly dispose of any creature chasing you? None [I hope :D ].

You must all remember, this is a game, made for enjoyment and the feeling of success in one thing. I will be making my own server soon, named the Soaring Wind server, it will be legit, but I will happily appoint GMs and help anyone who needs it. Now then, I must get back to my computer class...good luck everyone, I hope my server will be fun for you all to play on :wink:

Eeeep
 

...I must be a newb...I was posting about the flamers on page two...heh heh :oops: :oops: :oops:

This topic is tired. Legit/illegit really doesn't matter. To be honest, there is no discussion. If you like one, host it. If you like the other, host it.
