I too wanted to thank you for the great work on getting the live patch working with EQemu, great job there!
Anyways, I just dinged 65 yesterday, and will agree with Drak above me, alot of screwy things happening with the live version.
I do have a few tips/suggestions for people growing frustrated with the few bugs on the server.
First- healing, particularily with healing spells, you can heal others with your own healing spells, but targeting yourself, you get the <spell requirest target> msg, and spell does not cast. I would suggest doing an #itemsearch for healing potions.
Buffs - same as healing, few do land, group buffs work as long as you don't target yourself(I target npc's to buff myself)
As Drak stated, buffs do not appear in buff box till you zone.
I found a nifty way to see spell effects, I'm not sure if its related to me having a pet, or will work with someone without it. Anyways I go into options/filters/ and toggle show pet hits button when im in the zone, I am then able to see my pets dmg, monster dmg to my pet, and see spells cast by npc's.
I would suggest all new players make a hotkey, that says #zone nexus. When you die, you'll get the <you have lost experience> msg. when you see that, hit your zone button, will instead of returning you to bind, you will pop in nexus. Now, the reason I did that is everytime I died, and went to zone back to bind, I would instantly LD, and upon relogging in , I would be randomly placed in shar vahl(starting zone). I would sometimes be 20000ft in air, and fall to my death. When that happened, especially when I was still low levels, I would just lay there after I did the 20k dmg fall to death thing, unable to heal, etc, would just lay there, and have to /q out.
Upon loading back in game, I would ld on that character(must get bugged), and have to start the character over.
Well, thats all I can think of now, if I have anything else I can remember, I'll be sure to post it.
