New pre-kunark server coming to an EMU near you!

[xicross]

badwidth shouldnt be too huge of a problem I hope. If the server takes off and has so many people that it lags I might start asking around for a new host for the server and just turn over the files and run it remotely.

But until then... cable works

I agree.

(this would've been a really short post without that quote ... yay quotes!)

(and it would have been even shorter without that comment above)

(oh .. and even shorter without the second one)

(d'oh ...!)

yea... and lets use porters instead of boats... and then instead of quests we can just relentlessly kill mobs.... then we would have what eq is right now!

No. i actually enjoyed not sitting and killing mobs over and over again, boats add alot of character to the game and requires everyone to adventure.... atleast alittle.

I think this server sounds great.

Hello!

What is the status of this server build?
I'm thrilled about the EQ Classic format.

I understand TCS has boats working.

I'll turn off Luclin models when I play.

Thanks for the refreshing retro EQEmu server plan.

Can't wait.

Sorry but plans have changed folks. After some kids getting pissed off for me banning them for clearly violating rules the server was subjected to a DoS attack.

The server is now restricted to LAN use for now as I cannot have my internet connection bieng interruped as I use it for work. I may bring it back up for public use once I get some better hardware and a better firewall. So for now it will be running minilogin so noone outside can access it.

Sorry about the bad news folks. You can blame all the 13 year olds out there.

Sounds damned good! Can't wait to try this out....

[Volvagia70364]

Yeah I love this idea, the thing that killed EQ for me is shortly after Luclin when they made things so accomodating to the newbs.

Up with EC I say and the looking for the nearest druid or wizzie if you don't feel like walking.

Hey Volv, if you didn't know, that uber server "Guildwars" was pre kunark :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Volvagia70364]

*HURK* MY HEART.......

[Nova_Blaze]

Cant wait untill you get your sever back up.
WHat type of firewall were you using that let in a DOS attack??
And how are you coming on the DB? Think you could post it when your done so others could make Pre-Kunark servers?

[JohnRev]

Any ETA on the server release?

[Veragoan]

Sounds very nice.. should try to get the old UI in too.. that would rock.
