A work in progress - Non-Legit PEQ
 

This is a server for everyone who wants to play around with the PEQ DB (read Live), but doesn't want to have to put up their own server.

It is hosted on a fairly beefy server (see this) and is currently running 50 dynamic zones.

The server forums are located here and have a lot of the more specific information, like what zones are available, what commands are available (not listed yet, but some examples are #zone, #summonitem, #finditem, #level, #setaapts, plus some others) and what works/doesn't work. In addition, I will be integrating some useful tools, like item search functionality, character viewers, and other things via a web page so that you can see what else is going on with the server.

Once I can get CVS up and running, I will start updating quests & the DB to CVS on a regular basis so everything stays up-to-date.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post them on the server forums.

very nice.

also how do i enter the planes? or do i need to flag myself up from scratch?

thanks

It's currently Planar Progression required (so you have to go through the quests).

oh ok....

its the same quests as on Live?

hmm are they tuned to be solo-able? or do i need to LFG?

oh ya and what expansions do we have till? =)

It's pretty much a straight PEQ Ykesha DB/Quests pull (only changed the required level on 70+ items to 70 so they can be equipped), but you can summon items, set your level, set your AA points, etc. I'll be opening up the rest of the zones relatively soon, but they won't have quests, factions, etc until PEQ is at that point.

Because you can equip a level 70 character with equip much better than what was available during PoP, a lot of the quests shouldn't be TOO difficult, but can be a little interesting to say the least :-)

are the PoJ trials bugged currently? I would like to flag myself for PoValor =)

Fixed this within the past few days. There are some bugs with the higher flags (Bertox, HoHb), but they are being discussed in the forums.

For those who come around to the server, I though it might be worth mentioning that I finally added a spell scriber, which I know everyone has been DYING for :-)

Here's a link to the post about it on the forums.

would like to add that the flagging process for planes of power is really fun.

on that topic AndMetal > are the HOH trials fixed? =)

It looks like they should be now, but they still need to be tested.

I just tested it out, and the trials are working (although there might be some general aggro issues making it trivial at the moment).

zzzzz 70+ gear is broken, don't use it. all new item with graphic previously in the game works fine (like osh`vir, or random solteris or FC raid weapon), but high end raid weapon with custom graphic that you guys can't display (like embershank or sharpened talons of the lycanthrope) seem to cause a lot of porblem...

many many crashes on fridge's random loot server because of all the whack equipment that shouldn't be in circulation

just think about it, this gear was written to be used on the current eqlive client.... eq titanium uses archaiac eqclient and lacks even simple graphic option like radial flora that eqlive has now. another thing old client doesn't have is streaming item texture option.... i imagine that's how you guys can't get a graphic for embershank or STotL

i'd say stop worrying about loot from content you can't even play in and fix what you've got, first

why would you go thru the trouble of all this for non-legit? you gonna update quests when ppl can summon all item? only have up to LoY zone, too, so only faction for velious and you only can faction velious with one quest, really... and why would anybody faction velious in the first place if they can summon item from TSS expansion? seem the only point of quest here is for flag, and that's not very many quests...

sorry if it's rude i just don't understand. seem like you're gonna torture yourself....... QQ

I think my post on the server's forums pretty much sums it up:
If anything, this is more or less an unofficial test server for PEQ. As a result, the players on the server have helped uncover several issues with quests and spawns in the PEQ DB, including wizardanim fixing up the HoH trials, which now work pretty well.

As for your first post, I'm not sure if that really has anything to do with the server. The fact is that the client doesn't have the models & graphics files for the newer items, although you can patch in the item icons manually. You can still use the items, minus the spells & effects.

Anyone know anything on the status of this server? Seems to have been down the last 3 days. :( Dont know where it's gone...

Bring it back up Impossible!

He posted the other day that he's having climate control problems with the server and that it would be back up as soon as he could get it resolved. Maybe a few days.

hey i just logged into the server and i cant do any of the GM stuff, i can summon items, i can only set skills and level otherwise i cant do anything else.... whats up with that?... just wondering....

It took me hours to find a server where I had GM commands!

I just wanted to run through the lands and kill some baddies for nostalgic purposes and after looking through the guide for setting up your own server, my god thank you AndMetal, I really didn't want to do all that!

I had a blast on your server yesterday. I spent hours just summoning all kinds of items to play with. It's like being at the store and finally being able to get anything you want.

Nice to see that when other people logged they chatted so it didn't feel lonely and some even came along with me to kill some planer bosses. :D

Thanks again AndMetal and the EQemu team, you really brought back some good memories.

server
 

YES, thank you SO much for this server - you have given me what I wanted in a server also and am very pleased with it. Keep it running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you taking donations?

Does anyone know when this server will be back up?

Also, anyone know of any other servers with GM access and summon access anf everything?

I just rebooted, so it should now be back on the server list.

Not at this time, no. Although it is nice to hear that others feel it is worth a donation :-)

Coming soon, to a server list near you...

I hope my character is still here... do keep me updated :)
