Old School EQ
 
Are there any servers out there that would be like playing Classic EQ? Y'know, level cap at 50, Short Sword of Ykesha was one of the best weapons out there, Planes of Fear, Hate, Sky, and.. something else were the biggest challenges.

A friend and I have been reminiscencing about how we met back in the good ol' days, and we wanted to try it again if its possible. Can anyone give me any information?

Apologies in advance if this has been covered.

Try Shards of Dalaya....best "live" type emulated server. Takes time and a good deal of work to get up to 65, even to get moderate gear you'll spend a good bit questing.

Shards of Dalaya may be a great server however it is not classic EQ at all. Shards is pretty much entirely custom. In order to have a classis only server one would have to host one because none come to mind.

The problem I see with having Classic EQ is that there is really no snapshot of classic. Also what could be classic for me might not be classic for you. Personally Classic for me is Original + Kunark. Velious was fun but never got into it.

I quit EQ shortly after Luclin so all the new zones I have no idea what is suppose to be in them. For that matter though I have no idea what should be in the classic zones either because the snapshot just isn't there.

Sure sure, it may not be the EQClassic zones/mobs/loot...may be all custom, but its the closet you will get to the "EQ classic" feel that everyone bitches about wanting.

Best run server, great management, good rule set, its a good server check it out.

thats what I am doing
 
sdabbs65 , Thats what I just started up my self. I started a server up to do this same project. The server is called Classic EQ and its a legit server.

If your server is spawned up to POP/GOD how is it a Classic EQ server at all? Classic would indicate only the original zones and, at most, Kunark.

That's why I said I just started this project. It goes great I will probally endiing up 2 servers 1 being classic the orginal server and the other being up to Omens. The classic eq which you see online now is being transformed as we speak.

mrea 04-17-2006 01:25 PM

Ah cool. Did not mean to come off as rude if I did in my first post. I was just kind of like, "What is he talking about?" Haha.. good luck

np mera, I just finally got 6.5 to compile last night so I started up the old DB. Had the idea to make a classic eq thats why I named it like that. But probally going to host 2 servers. will see though how it goes from there.becuase I just had a old school users now asking me to make a classic eq and also up too omens. so now scratching my head whats best. But yea have any suggestions please fill free to tell me.

mrea 04-17-2006 01:37 PM

I would make just one totally classic. It'd be a lot less to manage and to say the least, there are plenty non-classic servers. Hell, I'd play if it was strictly classic.

Are there any servers that has old school EQ items? Like Guise of Deceiver, Manastone, Big Fing Gun, etc. I would like to try yours kouhei but you're not running 0.7.0 so I can't.

sesmar 04-20-2006 11:29 AM

The old school items like Guise of Deceiver and Manastone are in the Database both PEQ and Cavedude sine they both get their items from the 13th Floor.

kouhei 04-20-2006 12:27 PM

Well, I am in the process of trying to move the DB over to 0.7.0 I hope to have that up soon. So keep and eye out for it.

progression server
 
I finally decided Classic EQ will be changing its name. I am in the process of working out a new game plan. I hate to spill the beans but will give a little peak into the server. I am going to be taking an idea orginally I thought was a good Idea until SOE made the Idea a good idea. The one way its going to work is that everyone will start in the classic and kunark zones. Then all the other zones will be locked until kunark Boss mobs is killed then once that happens it will unlock velious zones then the same thing all other zones will still remain locked. The only thing will be open then is classic,kunark,velious then wants the High end Boss mob is killed that will unlock luclin zones so then class,kunark,velious,luclin will be open and all others will be locked. Then once Luclin high end Boss mob is killed it will open POP(Planes of power) Then you will have class,kunark,luclin,POP. Once POP is cleared and the all High end boss are killed then GOD will open up and once GOD end boss are killed then OMENS will open up. I also in the process of upgrading the DB to 0.7.0 if it goes good we might stay with 0.7.0 if not might have to revert to 6.6 since its more stable so will have testing up when we go to 0.7.0.
