Well last night was an interesting time. We had about 15 players logged on, and thats the most I have eve seen on this server. So we're deffinetly growing slowly but surely. xSUFIx ran a pvp event in the arena and asked everyone to create a level 1 pally to attend it was fun to watch, the hightened regen on the server made it almost impossible unless they teamed up and some random weapons were spawned to help out. This is the first of many little events we hope to have

The winner last night was Goodloona, and she was rewarded with a title, and epic 2.0 for the character of her choice went to Loonie
Congratulations!

Some things that came up last night I want to address here.

Gear and content. The vendors are carrying what I felt was good gear for level 70... it's by no means the best, simply because I dont know what the best is. If there's anything that you would like to see added, please message me on these forums and I'll add it to the vendor, or your inventory.

Special Items. I will probably be added things like J-Boots and other gear to the vendors, but really unique items that exist in live and are really rare will be reserved for prizes and quest rewards. I will also be adding some server special items in time that will be added to the pool of reward items.

Server Forum. I didn't want to do it, but I think I need to start up a website and forum... We're getting busy enough that I think it would help.

Zones. Yes many zones are closed, and although I can open them... they simply aren't done and for the most part have no loot tables setup. I opened up Timeb and wallfoslaughter last night so you can explore, but don't expect a lot of action content. I really don't mind opening them all up, but I don't want complaints that the loot is missing, when I know it is.

Events. Right now I have one extreamely active GM, I can't tell you how much help that is! We will be planning some little social events with good rewards, and here are some ideas we have discussed.

pvp event - happened last night, and it was a good time.
Naked Gnome Race - Start a level 1 gnome and run from one area to another. (With zoning speed due to peoples computers we might have to keep it to one zone... maybe even make it a swimming race across iceclad or something watch out for them turtles!)
Bounty Hunt - We place an NPC somewhere in the world and give you a clue about where he is. The player that returns with his head is the winner

Any other ideas that poeple have are more than welcome!

I've really enjoyed running the server, and with cold weather coming I hope to have much more time to devote to it. We're not going anywhere!

One other thing to mention... I want you to think of this server as your sandbox. It's meant for fun, and hopefully a place you can see and do things you didn't get to in live EQ. If you want to level its a good bit faster, and if you simply want to auto level to 70 and gear up to kill stuff in high end zones, please feal free to do that! Anyone not happy with the way things are should talk to me or a GM about it and see what we can do for you. If we can't or don't change things the way you like there are plenty of other servers out there being run by people with much more skill than myself. I'm simply an Everquest fan that wanted a server where I could explore a zone before going to that zone on live (Yes I still play live EQ... SOE All Access for the win!). Thank you

I just wanted to say I'm very pleased with the server. I'm doing the planar progressions now.

Default Thanks

Just wanted to drop a thanks to Treshu the GM for "escorting" some of us around last night and spawning some stuff for us to tangle with. My personal favorite was the Boss that hit for 8k and knocked you unconsious...heh, needless to say I lasted all about 1.5 seconds. On the plus side though, I dropped so quick my Cleric didnt even have time to get a heal off so never drew aggro and managed to survive the encounter with her

On a side note, for any planned "encounters", as much as I hate to say it, its probably best we leave that Uber Sword in our bags. It really seemed to make things hard to balance for the GM when you are quad hitting for 4k and is probably unfair to the Pure casters....just a thought.

Thanks again,

Brachiator

You are certainly welcome.
I'm glad you and a couple others got to have some fun, and see some content you couldn't see otherwise. That's the purpose of this server!
Also, congrats on the loot .
It wasn't as hard to get as it would be normally, but you still had to work for it! Sounds like a good deal in my book.
