The server is not classic. If you want classic check out http://www.kheprigames.com/ someone needs to host that client and then we will have classic...

Tantalar, it seems that you have no understanding of either computer programming nor copyright law.

It is technically illegal to host old versions of the files, or new versions, for that matter. Which is why you a required to have a copy of titanium. Hosting any of the client files will get SoE to start sending take-down notices for copyright infringement, as you don't have the legal right to distribute their copyrighted works.

And it's not as simple as just using an older version of the emulator and database with that client version. There is a good deal of work that has gone into the emulator since then that has not been backpatched into older versions of the emulator. If you've never worked on a complex software project you're just not going to understand the sheer amount of work that would be involved.

You also want something that you're just never going to get. The past is gone, and you need to let go of it. You seem to also have a very warped view of what classic was like, and how hard it was. You are never going to find a magical time machine that will transport you back to 1999 so you can play the original game. And honestly, you seem to care more about the appearance of the UI than you do about actual faithfulness to the classic EverQuest.

I was referring more to the fact that Jenco is now apparently hosting that server, judging by the MOTD and the recognizable *GM-Impossible* tag.

www.eqclassic.org is using the old client. They are doing it. They think they can get away with it and have thousands of followers who think they can do it. They ARE doing it. I dont know if they are going to get away with it and I dont care if they are going to get away with it.

I never talked about myself hosting the old client. I talked about hosting a server like the CKV server. You twist everything that I say and then use it to attack me relentlessly and it is really fucking annoying so just stop it already. I am sick of hearing your constant bitching. If you cant go one post without bashing and or degrading me, just don't bother posting! I don't come to these forums to hear a rampant assault on me. I'm not here to harass you,attack you, and vent my frustrations about you like some immature child, so if you cant grow up then just leave.

Just because it's being done does not mean it's legal.

If you can't stand someone pointing out holes in your reasoning, then you need to find a different reality to exist in.

There have been EQ Emulator servers that have gone down because they were hosting old files.

Also, I might direct your attention to the forum rules:

Yes, its possible, but as stated already it infringes on the copyrights. Also would take a lot of time to actually set up a server that you are looking for. Most people have tried but ended up burning out after awhile. Only a old school server operators are still around.

I think the quickest way would be to use the PEQ release of the Luclin DB and block off the Luclin zones.

That way you'd have a little less work to do.

[edit] That and coin across the board needs to be alot less than what it is now.

please... please... please! You are the one who thinks that Phinny should be killable by 1 person 3 boxing each at level 50, with pre planar gear and prior to Vox and Nagafen... You are out of your mind... and you are saying that I am clueless when it comes to classic everquest?

I really hope someone locks this thread because that is the only way that anyone will shut you up. Constantly, just constantly you feel the need to point out every single detail that you disagree with and then explain in great depth why they are wrong even if you yourself are wrong.

Please go learn about logic, rhetoric, and debate.

If the Project EQ database is a reliable mirror of live, and 3 people are able to kill Phinny, then he must be killable on live by 3 people.

If you like, I can get on PEQ, de-level my characters, and go kill him with my pre-planar gear.

If you cannot defend your stance in a rational, logical, fashion, there are usually two reasons: You don't understand how to, or you can't because your position is undefendable.

Tantalar · #56 06-02-2008, 01:54 PM

If this was 1999 and you were trying to kill him you could never kill him with 3 characters and you know it. PEQ is not like EQ from 1999 and it never will be if people like you are in charge.

Don't say that it is just like EQ from 1999 because it isn't. If this was 1999 and you thought then what you think now, your 3 characters would be brutally massacred.
