A solo-able server
 

I am setting up a server for my young son and I to play EQ on. The problem is there is no way that the two of us by ourselves can take on a large percentage of the game. Is there a way to edit the npc_type database to lower the HP of all mobs by a certain percentage?

Nevermind
 

Nevermind. I figured it out.

When you changed the the hp, was that the only change you had to make to make the server soloable/dualable?

You could add bots which help a ton soloing if you are looking for a group experience solo (plus you can collect items for them)

I like the bots, sometimes they do some stupid things though. I have never tried to raid with them.

update npc_type set hp = hp * 0.8 where id => 1;



that will reduce all npcs to 80% of their hitpoints, change the 0.8 to another decimal value for different percentages if you want it lower or higher.
