Gnomish Proving Grounds (progression, minor customizations)

[newlich]

I have to say I have had more fun playing eq on this server then I have in anything Everquest related in the last 8 years ish.

It is a total blast with a great population. Grinding is not difficult leaving a lot of time to just explore, quest, camp and just help others get stuff done.

I've had a blast and will continue to be a part of this server till Tiny turns the lights off.

/bump.

Luclin is almost fully open. We need three more raid wins in Velious to open it up completely.

For a fun environment check us out .

old thread - we've progressed into ssra and are working on emp keys. it's a bit of a process. the vt key will be simplified without requiring the shard camping.

we are still running velious raids and kunark raids at random, helping folks with things and gearing up new players (ntov is like candy land for them).

I think one thing that discourages folks is that they start in the arean and don't know what to do.

you can use #peqzone once every 20 mins to zone whereever - blow your first one to nexus, and ask the giant gnome for a trinket. the leveling rate is super quick, you can catch up easy. lots of friendly folks here to help out as well. aa's are pretty normal speed.

you can box up to 4 toons but we prefer more people over more boxed toons. raids usually max out in the mid 20s so don't be surprised if you can't bring an army everywhere : P

if you have any questions, I'm in game pretty often as Koii and Marglar.

Hiya! I've never been to this server, but am always looking for a good legit server to try out from time to time and was wondering: what's the size of raids on this server?

GoD was awful at it's inception. Uqua and Ikkinz 4 were fairly big cock-blocks.

Altho we enjoyed GoD on the whole later as a source of 2 x 3 box loot for our bots funnily enough.

Omens was awesome in that it offered PoTime/EP gear from tough group events, so you no longer had to sacrifice your life to get some decent loot, if you were a decent but casual player.

DoN had amazing group content that I really enjoyed and it succeeded where LDoN woefully failed. Amount of points to get items was less troublesome, you trade crystals for PP too and sellback items for 66% of the crystals. Along with the great selection of weapon proc augs, charms and even a WR bag.

It lacked a little on the raid side, but then we 2 x 3 boxed Rikky and that other dragon in the same zone later to get bot loot. My friend Joks even figured out a way to beat Yar Lir later on.

DoDh wasn't bad either for group content, a wide selection of rewards to be had, some a little random and crap, but the wolf mask quest gave an item that could last a long time. DoDh raiding was awful though, I'll give you that. DP was a slow raid which it took ages to gear up from.

PoR, short and sucky in many ways not a real exp, but again, a great source of loot in many places for the boxer.

And then it all went horribly wrong in TSS where loot mudflated ridiculously and the culture of having to do 3832787843 quests outside of raiding to progress was instituted.

So I think, not everything after PoP was so bad when played in the right context. I really did love DoN for grouping, since it was everything LDoN should of been. Probably the biggest reason lots of people say PoP+ sucks is because GoD was a level 70 expansion put out to a level 65 player base and a lot of people quit right there and then for WoW.

Anyone else experiencing constant crashes just minutes after loading and zoning in?

I keep getting an error saying my display adapter atikmdag has failed but recovered on its own

If I joined this server would I be able to raid with you guys or some other pretty good guild on the server? It sounds like a lot of fun from the comments I've read and it seems super easy to catch up since there's an increased leveling xp.

Sorry for the late response. If you are not already playing, the answer is yes. It only takes a day or two to get in the 50s and you are welcome to join the guild and raid.
