EverQuest Classic Progression

I don't see where Semedaien called Daxum out. Yet, I do see him saying that he understands where Daxum is coming from in not wanting to hand out the db due to the sole amount of work Daxum and his team have invested in building a great server.

Also Ueguvil, Semedaien may be new at what he's doing, but he has put a lot of time into attempting to learn how to polish up his db, from the time I was able to participate in testing what he had been working anywho.

Anyways, hopefully Semedaien will be able to work out his kinks with anti-hack detection, limiting the number of accounts able to connect from a signle IP, and the what not. It's always nice to have the option to enjoy the old world from a PVP persepective or a PVE perspective depending on what the player wants to invest their time in. So I atleast think it is noble that he is trying to provide that experience for user's who wish to do so.

After reading page 2 of this thread, I definitely felt like I was getting attacked. Though Semedaien didn't come at me directly, his post did come across as an invitation to feel sorry for him and implicate evil Daxum for stealing from the project, and drilling oil wells in the Alaskan wildlife reserve (with a drill fashioned from baby seal bones). Of course, EQ4Me was the first to bite on that low-hanging fruit, so I felt obligated to inform him that the fruit, is in fact, smeared with bovine feces. And as such, it would be ill-advised to eat any more of it.

If I misinterpreted this situation, then I withdraw my confused rage and will go back to my hole.

Oh and one suggestion with this whole "Progression Server" idea. I know where you're going with it (we tried it too), but players will (without a doubt) chew through your content, before you'll have a chance to get the next expansion ready (unless you give them a miserably long grind for xp - in which case you need earplugs and an umbrella (ella-ella-ella) for all the sweet, sweet baby tears). If do you intend to do this, I hope you're happy with your database before you launch, or else have thirty or so 24/7 plat farmers that are constantly working on and refining your database. I guess it all comes down to the level of detail that you want in your zones, but if you are trying to roll everything back to old world, it takes a lot of dev time.... a lot.

Even with all the shit that we've done, we're still a long... looooong way from having kunark ready.

Hello all.... just recently got a laptop and internet access back, and was looking for a server just like this one.... was an original EQ player from 99 to 07, ended up playing on progression, then I left for boot camp and when I got out... progression was ruined : ( Just thought i'd say i'm looking forward to this server.... downloading EQ titanium right now, been downloading it for like 3 days now :| wtb titanium discs :|

Can't wait for the server to open up.... look forward to seeing you all there

first of all i didnt post anything for people to get into an argument, and i definantly didnt want the whole db. I asked if I could have pits and peices and i offered to pay. Again i understand why he doesnt want to give out certain peices and im completely fine with that. When mine goes up i will be posting various codes and queries that my devs and I created. If anyone does support me and either offers to sell or give any information to me from their server(s), then I will ask whether they want it to be posted or not. Again I will be contributing a lot of my stuff out for the PEQ db. For instance, I'm re-doing peq's coin drop as we speak... about 25% done so far.

Hope everyone reads this and understands it, sorry if i pissed anyone off, really didnt mean to, and I wasnt sure if i should've posted my private msg with daxum on here, sorry dax.

Oh and thank you for the link to the IP Fix, very much appreciated!
