The Last Stand (PvP)

[Voodoo13]

The only thing that i see will be a problem is the xp rate.

[klamath]

Xp will be as it is may be taken down to live if the server fills.

We have added a new testing pvp rule, you will now have to kill 250 players to attack Lord nagafern, If you drop below 250 kills. It will fall by 150 a week, You will get ported out if u get in LoS of the Lord , 300 for Lady voxx 500 for Cazic thulle.

This new rule is to keep the pvp balance for everyone, If it does not work out it will be change back.

PvP will now be a 8 level range 4 level range for 50's so it will be as follow.

1 to 9 no pvp - 10-18 18-26 26-34 34-42 42-46 46-50 hope it works out.

At 50 u can attack anyone you so wish under 46 but if u kill a level 23 or below you will fall an whole level attack anyone under 46 and over 23 u will lose half of your level. /anon will work so be on the look out and look aftar your level's a little evil twist i know but its fun. If your under 50 u have to stick to the 8 level range so your ok untill you hit 50 so its best to stay around 49

An evil twist if u wanted to kill Lord / Lady / Cazic i know but it should just add that little bit more time befor everyone gets uber twinked .

A new flag base game is in this will happen every night at some point to keep pvp a live and help you get to the 250 or so kills you need. what this means is the server will shout so and so as got the flag and is now worth 2 kills per a death when he dies the flag will go on to someone esle and so on for 2 hours so lots of action.

The server is now headed for a late opening we have lot more todo so we hope early july i am sorry.

Closed beta will open befor then tho so keep your eye out Website coming soon.
Thanks.

and is there exp for killing people? And is there a xp det for dieing?

[klamath]

No xp for killing a person in PvP and no xp lost for dieing just xp loss at 50 if u kill someone to low.

[Voodoo13]

Whats the gain from pvp then? Besides just killing people.

[klamath]

Read up i said we might add something else.

[Smedy]

sounds cool, just abit worried about the lvl 50 being able to attack all people. They better get alot of exp loss for cock blocking people around lvl 30

im sad to hear you guys are deelayed, i hope everything goes well, i would be highly interessted in joining the closed beta when avaible! keep up the good work

[SmoothiE]

1 item loot... no no drop items... Like rallos zek and firona vie combined!

[Z.Wylde]

Looks like fun, i'm sure I'll check it out when it opens =)

You should either make 1 item lootable per kill, and/or a pvp point system where you can buy items with points like guildwars.

World of warcraft has a cool pvp aspect too... buy items per rank, maintain X amount of kills per week - and maintain 'X' rank in which you can buy a certain MR or common pvp item.

I hope a lot of people play! I miss guildwars, but this look like it will be fun!

The 4th is still the planned date we going full out trying to get everything done please bare with us as everything is a bit chaotic atm.

Our website is currently offline atm don't know why we are looking into it.

If anyone wants to run a basic forum watch untill ours is back up feel welcome to.

To answer question's from early post here they are.


As we draw closer to the opening of the server, and after talking with some people a few more important questions came up.

1. First, just to get clarification, for spells like Ice Comet, Lich, Bond of Death, Life Leech and many of the Necro pet spells, which were previously research/quest only- you said they would be in game, but have they been put on normal spell vendors in cities? We just want to confirm that they are in fact available from a vendor.

Damage on all these as been reduce in damage by alot doing 58% in total damage on any player doing a full 100% on a npc. and i can say they are avilable but where you got to find your self.

2. The only available Mage pet spells for many of the mid-levels were on a vendor in OOT... Is this still the only place to get them, and do the boats work, or is there some other way to get to the vendor in oot for these spells?

All dark races of mages will be able to buy there pets from mermaid island. at night time only. Light classes will be able to buy there pets and high level spells from willow wisp island.

3. Ice Comet. It is extremely important for wizards that this spell is done right because, lets face it, without IC wizzies in vanilla EQ are little more than Mages without pets. Additionally, IC has been majorly tweaked numerous times in both Live and on emu servers. At this point its hard to know exactly what you are going to get with IC, or if its even worth playing a wiz. In order to figure this out, can you tell us:

Ice comet will do 810 max in pvp and will be very hard to resist at level 50 1010 in pve.

A. How much does IC do pve and pvp?
B. What is the mana cost and cast time? Ice comet is a special spell so it will take 400 mana.
C. Is there a -10 to the resist modifier like on l ive?

Again, I only single this spell out because it is such a contentious and unpredictable spell on every server, and there is no way to determine what you are going to get without hearing it straight up from the guy running things

4. You mentioned that Jboots were a custom quest. Are there other custom quests, and are there custom mobs and items, or is it mainly exactly like EQ circa 1999?

Jboots is the only custom quest atm. but it will be alot of time befor someone picks up a pair of these.

5. I think you mentioned that you removed all spells for the early levels that came after original EQ, (for example the lvl 44 Shaman spell Stoicism, or the lvl 37 Druid spell Ro's Firey Sundering), is this correct? Are there any plans to implement them at a later time?

We will maybe plant the later spells during the kunark era if we come to that.

6. In Live Wizards have a natural % chance to crit with thier DD spells, is this on your server as well?

Wizards will have a 2% crit chance over all classes.

XebeknSZ ---- Also, if I want to double box, will I need more than one set of CD keys for more than one account? So far based on the server overall you will be able to 2 box untill we see fit to cancel any second account.

XebeknSZ i don't know how many people this server will pick up due to the slow leveling or unless your a pvp fan.

Server specs are as follows duel pent 4 4.2 gig 500 gig harddrive 3gig ddr2 ram. 100 meg connection will handle around 1000 people but we have plans for a pve version of the server.

Any questions please reply to this thread thanks.

Go make a coffee or something the main coder is finishing something up.

How do you drop below 250 kills? If you can drop Im guessing you can lose kills? How does this happen

So its not your level range +/- 8 levels (IE im level 30 i can attack 22-3, you can only attack people in your level range stated above (IE im 42 and no one high level than me can attack me besides a 50 but i can attack anyone between 42-34)

BTW if you check out eqforums people are settling for a progression pvp server when 99% want a classic EQ pvp server. You are giving them what they want not meeting them halfway. You said after 250 play you will open kunark which makes me think that you dont expect the population to be huge. I think you should advertise this and get a ton of people to play. 250 seems kinda boring to me. I think Zek has more than that now and I quit when there were around 1000 or so elft (just a guess) because it was hard to find pvp. Get the word out there and attract a ton of people.

PS. If you can enlighten me on those rules im confused about i would greatly appreciate it.

Its specificaly stated you loose 150 a week, =)

Thats the quickest way to a C&D from sony, the second you advertise and are mentioned on lives forums they will send you one, its happened a few times before.

Do NOT advertise, do word of mouth.

[XebeknSZ]

Prophetsofsz.org has a post about it. You can ask Hemick to take it down and give him a reason and he will probably do it because the server you offer is one that he has been pushing for, for quite some time. http://prophetsofsz.org/viewtopic.php?t=413

And what about my level range question?
