PEQ Grand Creation Down? - Page 5

lucid.reverie · #61 09-16-2008, 04:00 PM

It's not just approaching perfection - there isn't a server I've played on that even comes close. We did find a couple that did okay but there were either lag/zoning issues or we couldn't get an admin to get back with us regardless of how many petitions/forum posts we put up (you know who you are). Frankly unless something seriously detrimental happens my buddies and I won't even bother with other servers.

Mega-kudos, Cavedude.

That being said, I'm quite curious - was the initial inability to access the server actually because of Obama being in the area? Don't mean to sound naive but you sounded serious. Let me know - I can totally rub that in someone's face if so.

Theres some decent servers out there. I played couple characters to 18 or so on Order of Hassan. It's rock solid stable but lack of PoK is kind of a bummer even though what they did with nexus was pretty good. If they could just populate it with few more vendors or mess with the starting factions wouldn't be that bad. The edge is just a blast for a couple weeks but doesn't hold you, played that a bit before i found Grand Creation.

Murdersmithy has some promise but being an Old School server with hardly any working quests is going to be a problem. The community has ironed out alot of quests though It's just matter of them getting them in and working and that server could build a nice community.

But nothing is complete up to POK EQ like grand creation. Lots of people do lots of good work on it.

Whenever it gets running again is good enough for me. Every server I've invested interest in so far has wound up tanking, and for a few weak moments I was worried the same had happened. But it was foolishness, since PEQ is the real deal.
You guys over at PEQ make a damn fine server,
damn fine cherry pie, too.

Sorry to hear about the temporary server woes, but I'm bummed too. Just yesterday I went to walkthrough a PEQ forum post called "HOWTO: EQ Titanium on Crossover Mac". Any chance someone has this set of instructions mirrored somewhere? Or does anyone remember them?

My weekend project got a little stuck in the mud :P

I agree with you, Krikk. There have been some good ones but eventually something just goes down.

Sure hope PEQ doesn't tank - if that happens I'll probably end up just running my own (which I wish to avoid at practically all costs) and probably have to limit it to few users due to bandwidth. Plus, I just don't want to administer a server. Only get about 5-6 hours a week to play as is.

PEQ isn't going anywhere, they're just gettin ready to knock your socks off when they come back

Who knows, all this spare time. Maybe I'll get around to finishing up those few Elemental events.........

Screw you lucid, I'd give up 4 days of EQ some national health care.

Wow, now I have another reason to say F Obama

Chimpeach him Now!

lucid.reverie · #71 09-16-2008, 08:37 PM

Not a big fan of national health care. Don't know if I can afford it - might have to sell the biz and go on welfare ...

Wait, that's the point, right? See, I am astute now and then!

Since this thread continues as does the Obama discussions in it, I thought I should mention this; Any type of racism on these forums is a bannable offense. Some of these posts have been at least borderline, so I figured it is a good idea to give a warning now. I don't care if you are joking about something, or if you are just reciting what someone else said, the N word has no business on these forums (even bleeped partially out). I also don't think that anyone should be talking about assassinating a presidential candidate even in jest.

I'm not trying to cause any problems, but I figured I would mention this before things got any worse in this thread. Political discussion is perfectly fine (even though they would be better off in the off-topic section), but some people can get very heated quickly when discussing parties and candidates etc. Didn't want anyone to say something too stupid and get banned for it.

I am not going to quote all of the posts that lead me to make this post, but there are enough in here to warrant it I think. Hopefully PEQ comes up soon and puts an end to this thread lol

The website is up, could it possibly mean?

**cavedude** · #74 09-16-2008, 10:57 PM

I'm uploading my newest source now, and updating the quests. Game server will be up soon once I'm done. No more than an hour or two.
