Default Dont make a new serve, help make THE server,eq original serv

You know what its about, its a pre-kunark server. Where a giant snake fang is a leet piercer and mino axe is something to gawk at. A server where you can wear your full leather set with a fine steel scimitar on your lvl 20 druid with pride. A place where magic armor with stats is uber, and doesnt come with newbie quests. Where you still have to rely on other players to bind your soul at citys, and theres no teleportation exept perhaps from a friendly druid or wizard.A place where people make safty groups to go from qeynos to freeport, and where you have to get you corpse at lvl 1, and half the days your group leaves blackborrow with negative xp.

so come help out, help rebuild old world content, even improve it, help repopulate the zones.

id like to talk in irc sometime with some more people here who want to contribute and help make this server possible.

I dont think that monalin crusader can host the server himself, i am willing to cancel my 4 eq and 1 lineage2 accounts to help pay for a server instead, how much are they for a 100 person capable server? if i put this moeny to use ona higher quality dsl id only be able to handle like a 24 person server max, what do you have now monalin i could donate 40 bux a month to pay for a better server if we ever need it

I for one would support a server like this if it were true to old world, experience grinding, junk items, slow drop rates...
Sure it sounds like a grind, but working for what you had is what mattered then... ofcourse even the best oldworld gear never made someone god like, so it was actually balanced.
I would be happy to make a small donation each month to this server, if someone can get something good going.
Get enough people willing to make a small monthly donation of 10-20$ and you can support it quite well imo.
Sure you end up paying to play, but imo having a team that will actually make the changes and run a good game is what counts.

Oh, on a sidenote, I would only actually pay or support this server if it were pvp enabled

We actually discussed having PvP, but we decided to hold it off until we have enough real people to vote on it. For know it is normal EQ Classic playing.

We dont need people to pay for it it would be hard to divide between everyone and would just cause problems i believe we are all doing this for a hobby. We already have a very nice server to run it on and evrythign we are in the process in deciding what version to use and everything because we have our own patcher now that i made we can go with whatever version we want to.

What we need more than money are dedicated players. We allready have a few like Benjij, Misha, and a few others. Anything else on this topic please view our official thread stickied on the top of this forum. (Thanks Liscadipesce)

A few questions since I didn't get to play long...
Is there a chance you will use new world graphics? I don't feel it will destroy old world content, personally, just looks alot better.
Are any of the # commands in use? I noticed that zone, spell and level are disabled, which is good.
What type of experience rate is currently in place and what is the plan for when the server is live?
Will all content be old world? Creatures, quests, items?
I feel a healthy mix of CONTROLLED new items could be healthy, so long as they are not any more powerful, plentiful or outlandish than staple old world items.

EXP Rate: .9
Group Exp: .1 (default)

Also, the server should be up 24/7 now, I fixed a little bug in the zones.

This was Dynadin Henseus O'Thuell's Original Server design, but there are so many things holding myself and everything on the server back that it just doesnt seem startable from this time, but if my assistance is of any use please pm me and let me know, this is also my ultimate server goal. To create a full time exact EverQuest as it originally, in my opinion, during its golden years.

www.EQClassic.com are the forums.
I had no idea about http://newhorizon.eqemulator.net/ until I read this just now. Is it the front end of EQClassic.com ?

As the first post said, help populate Circle of Elements, let's make the EQ Classic, server.
