open beta testing for classic legit pve

Great stuff. I remember Fizzealot as well as Tylendel.. look forward to seeing you soon!

Estimation on how many players you are honestly looking at if your server went live today?

[nilbog]

Today? 50+ unique people. I cannot say for sure, but I know probably 30 rl people.. as well as the people that have tested my server, I'd have to say by the end of the week I would need a dedicated machine and some type of hosting or business class upload speed.

I'm assuming all of these testers are going to want to play

Well.. after the password fiasco, my original email didn't receive the password change information. So, until/if that happens, I cannot respond to PMs from it, so if you want to contact me via these boards, please use this forum name. (same one, with an underscore _ after it)

As stated before, you can contact me or post server specific questions on our beta forums located at

thanks!

I am new to EQemu and I'm very thrilled about a classic server. In fact, I stopped playing EQ because, like many others, I think they got it all wrong after Velious. So count me in for beta testing this! I know old players that would come back anytime for a true classic server (my husband for sure and about 4 other friends).

Call us masochists, we liked old grinding, death penalties, slow leveling and all the BAD that made EQ the BEST. After trying a lot of mmorpg's I still think EQ was the king and not because it was new at the time. It gave us a real challenge, it was tough and community was very important. I learned with time that nice graphics and fancy particles doesn't make a game.

So good luck and see you soon (off to create a character to beta test).

looks awesome. cant wait for server to launch.

Wow. This server has peaked my interest. It could be awesome going through and doing everyone's quest armor (Totemic, Crafted etc.) I took a look at your boards and everyone seems very enthusiastic. It looks like I am going to play on both Storm Haven and on this server!

Any ETA when you will be launching?

I'm game sign me up
got 6 classic players down to contribute some time and knowledge towards building the game we all love and remember

[nilbog]

Greets, thanks for interest in the server.

A LOT of work has been done over the past month and it looks a lot more like classic eq Beta testers are doing a great job of finding obscure things, and the details on some of it is simply amazing.

Mostly done with everything prekunark now.. working on aethestics and tweaking things

Currently looking for :
- a little scripting help
- someone familiar with eqinterface to help/advise a project
- and, as always, classic information. as great as waybackmachine is, some of the information we need is simply not available. spawn timers, which mobs see invis, and any other minutiae you feel you can contribute.

Come by our beta testing forums, currently located at
http://classicbetatest.guildlaunch.com for any questions, comments, or suggestions!
