VZTZ is down indefinitely. Bane of Life (Custom Classic PvP) entering beta.

Oh dude that was like drama from a month or so ago. It was taken down now because the GMs couldn't police all the insta-camping and freezing player clients shennanigans that was going on. That and like two new dupe bugs were found and spammed all over the forums. People need to learn not to shit where they eat, because look what happens. Searyx, one of the lead GMs, said he wasn't going to let the server degenerate into a server full of hackers and exploiters.

It's still in hiatus as you said AFAIK, but there is no ETA on anything. :(

We'll see... :/

You guys can come PVP on Raid Addicts but be ready to get your asses handed to you if you do

Though most of the server is PVE , there are several PVP zones, and also a Priest of Discord so everyone can be PVP all the time if they want to be..

Casters pretty much rule the domain but I have seen several melee do exceptionally well.. Depends on your skill and your gear with this server.. If your under 100,000 hp well your a n00b...

See you guys soon

I love the constant server advertisements in almost every forum/topic.

Bane of Life has already fixed most (if not all) of the things VZTZ has failed to and has a stable financial (and emotional) backing. Greener pastures imo.

Bane of Life looks sweet and all, but it's not even released yet. wait a few months after release before making comparisons to vz/tz.

What I've seen in BoL alpha alone is millions of years ahead of what VZTZ was at it's peak of development.

It's not pure classic, but mostly classic. I had a pretty "classic or go home" mentality until getting into it with Yeorwned (BoL dev) a few times. Everything that's "custom" on BoL is necessary for one reason or another. I haven't been this excited about a game... let alone an emu... since the Vanguard flop.

I'm using classic mobs and zones but I'm not trying to recreate classic EverQuest exactly as it was since a true classic server is too bland. Fine steel at level 40 anyone?

There will be plenty more of those servers coming and going as usual so for you die hard classic fans, hold out a little longer and I'm sure someone will launch a server to fit your needs soon. There is no server for everyone!

The server isn't live yet. There's a huge difference between alpha and live as far as how well anti-cheat programs work and how fairly the GMs manage things.

You can't compare BoL to VZ/TZ yet.

No one on emu has the staff or the capacities to test 1000s of items for balance on such a large scale as the real thing. Even on eqlive they did a half-a$$ed job of balancing the game PVP wise... Mort nothing against your server but using custom spells and the thousands of hand crafted items that are currently present on your server wont suit PVP. Maybe you should consider running a secondary server like PVPaddicts or something =P. Dont run the chance of ruinning your 7yr server into the ground... <3

No offense taken but my server has more than 5500 custom items and years and years of work making ALL 16 CLASSES totally balanced...

My idea to make the server PVP popular is to fix it so that these custom spells are scaled down in PVP situations only... That way it's balanced in PVP as well 100% ..

I have seen many players PVP and like I said we used to have tournaments.. I know it's balanced to a point but I need some skilled coders to help me scale things down in PVP situations only..

And it won't run it into the ground because my server has always been Optional PVP well not always but for a year or 2 now anyway... So nothing would change at all if you were a PVE player you would notice no difference... It's totally optional... Now maybe once some PVP players started in there and made it popular they would switch too ...
