The Lockjaw Server

[Huppy]

Just to let everyone know, I've put my server up for public now.
The Lockjaw is there for the casual solo/group players. It is a work in progress but it will NOT
be a raid production server. It is simply an "out of the box" server with a few things added to
compensate for a low population server.
Bots and Mercs are enabled with no IP limiting. I have added some NPC's in the PoK and
Guild Lobby that will gladly hand out free buffs for the level you are at.
There is also an NPC in the PoK to port you back to Tutorial after you get buffs. He will also
respect your eligible level.
Some of the old zones that were revamped are back up and running. It is still being worked
on, but East/West Commons, North and South Ro, Oasis of Marr as well as Toxxulia exist
like they used to.
Maximum level is 85 and all EQ clients are welcome. (RoF/RoF2 has not been tested much)
My work on this server will be ongoing whenever I have time, but if you have any problems,
feel free to PM me on here. (Lockjaw server issues ONLY please)
My website www.thelockjaw.org is UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but I will be working on it
to provide outside support for the server.
PLEASE RESPECT other players by not interfering with someone else's fun. It's a video
game people. No need to fight over it, or I will have to send you to your room (smirk).
Have fun everyone

You had me at "bots" my man. Best wishes and see you on.

Thank You. The npc's that buff can do some group buffing as well. The ones in the
Guild Lobby buff 65+ (including bots grouped with you) with Gallantry, Unity and
Prescience.
The NPC's in PoK will will buff with temp, hos, sow, clarity for low level.
Others will cast Virtue, Foe, etc for level 45+
I will be working on NPC's to put in Bazaar that will sell summoned gear as well.
Should have that done in the next 24 hours.

I'm not too sure how well stealing live server names will go over.

Until I read your post, I didn't know they had a server with that name.
I've been using that name in my conf file at home for 4 years now.
There is one on here (now) called Firona Vie, which used to be a live
server as well. Not sure if they still have it, haven't been on live in a long
time. But if EQEmu admin wants me to change it, no problem, like I said,
didn't know live had one. I actually logged that name in here, once
back in 2012.

Your "raid" question is answered above in first post. But as for the level 85,
you level as far as you want to that level. (solo/group). The HoT zones are
there for access. This is a low-end server, not meant for raids. But if you
want to grab some bots and go hard. I will be looking at working on higher
zones, BUT it will be simple, loot/experience, etc, with maybe the odd custom
quest.

I am in game if you can talk there

Sorry for the downtime people, had some urgent issues to deal with. I also apologize to those who
have previously created BOTS, as you will have to re-create them again. There was an issue with
the client being disconnected when using the "bot create" feature.
But the good news is, the bots will now zone with you.
The problem with the AA's disappearing when you zoned has been fixed as well.

Its that holiday season again and to celebrate, The Lockjaw is bearing gifts for the
month of December.

NPC traders in Bazaar have FREE summoned gear, useable by ALL races. (Bots & Pets)

FREE beneficial potions are on an NPC as well.

There is also low cost Defiant gear that is not as defiant as it was. The "attunable" flag
has been removed.

Just simply use your "Find" button to locate these NPC's in Bazaar in the red quarters.

The desciples in the Guild Lobby are not charging a dime for corpse summoning stones.

Have a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON and BEST WISHES everyone !

Forgot to mention, if you buy a merc, they have no upkeep cost.
If you have a desire to have your merc renamed to something more unique than the
random generated name, look for me in game /who all, and send me a /tell

By the way, so far players using MQ haven't been a problem, as they don't interfere with
others game play. Also if your toon is AFK, it's no big deal, but if I have to restart the
server, (usually when it's empty if I can) one notice message will be sent to afk toons, so
if you come back to comp and you've been disconnected, you know why.
Thanks for your patience

Hotzones don't seem to be working. Went to Lower Guk and was getting atrocious experience.

I apologize sculler, lower guk was supposed to be flagged as hotzone, but I
didn't realize until now it was one I missed when flagging the zones.
I will be changing Franklin Teeks script soon, to reflect more on the old style.
But I can confirm, lower guk is flagged now. Thanks.

Just an update for ROF2 clients. There is little glitches here and there that are specific
to the ROF2 client. (zone points/doors not working for them sometimes, etc.)
One person was zoning in to guild lobby, where I was (and another toon), but this player
could not see us, or some of the NPC's in there. While that player and myself were in
the lobby, I had to "summon" him to bring him in to the same lobby zone where I was.
I put some porters on both sides of the GL/PoK door and he was able to zone in to the
lobby properly that way with his rof2 client.
That player has "aquired" (and is now using) a UF client and those problems went away.
