[EQ]New Server Poll Up!

[NMTS]

I forgot the answer to this, but why don't they make a server only up to velious again?

[Saladus]

Most likely because with today's mindset of MMO'ers, everyone would RUSH straight for 60, only a few guilds would form to down content ASAP, and everyone would be bored in less than a few months.

EDIT- Oh and of course lack of profit due to lack of interest after a matter of mere months or less.

[NMTS]

alright, whats wrong with that? just put exp back the way it was.. it will take awhile to level. I liked the game more before 60 anyways

The reason that they give is that they don't have the code for it. They would have to devote resources to re-code all of the old school zones/spells/classes etc, and they aren't willing to devote the manpower to do it. And even though I would love such a server, I don't really blame them.

I just logged on to the server select screen and Mayong is flashing gang signs at you.

o Start with a complete set of Flawed Defiant armor and weapons (Recommended level 50)

Flawed Defiant Breastplate
MAGIC ITEM ATTUNEABLE INFUSIBLE
Slot: CHEST
Purity: 20
AC: 65
STR: +14 DEX: +8 STA: +14 CHA: +21 WIS: +13 INT: +10 AGI: +17 HP: +106 MANA: +97 ENDUR: +98
SV FIRE: +11 SV DISEASE: +15 SV COLD: +10 SV MAGIC: +6 SV POISON: +12
Shielding: +1% Spell Shield: +1% DoT Shielding: +1% Attack: +4 HP Regen: +4 Mana Regeneration: +2 Damage Shield: +2
Recommended level of 50. Required level of 37.
WT: 11.7 Size: LARGE
Class: WAR CLR PAL SHD BRD
Race: ALL
Slot 1, Type 7 (General: Group)
Slot 2, Type 13 (Energeiac: Group)

So basically people get to start level 51, with 50aas and ornate+ armor. As the wise "Ryhian" here said, it's like the first 5 expansions don't even matter. This server is still managing to piss me off.

[Bristlebane]

The first five expansions pretty much wouldn't have mattered regardless if you start at level one with nothing. The only thing they're needed for is a few hours of leveling.

The only way old expansions matter in EQ is if you're forced to stay within them, i.e. another progression server.

WTF is "Attunable", "Infusable" and "Purity"?

Attuneable means it's tradeable until someone equips it. The infusible and purity has something or other to do with the power source system, but I never played enough in the later years to really know what it all meant.

Some items give you greater stats or some shit if you have a power source equipped. Someone can explain it better than me.

[Kuro]

Infusible means you recieve Item Stat Bonuses from your Power Source on this item. Different Power Sources generate different statistical bonuses and penalties on gear with "Infusible." Purity is a scalar on how much of the bonus/penalty is applied.

Magical Make-em-up Example:

Godstone of Fuckwin provides +50hp, +10STR, and -10INT to each piece of Infusible gear. Your Pants of Pantsening have a Purity of 50, so they only recieve 50% of the Power Source's modifiers. So when you equip your Godstone of Fuckwin, your Pants get +25HP, +5STR, -5INT. Also, Power Sources slowly decay while in use. It takes quite a while for them to run out.

Power Sources are their own item type with their own Inventory Slot, and they can be Crafted.

Server is up.

Huh. That sounds pretty awful.

In honor of Independence Day and the opening of the Mayong (51/50) Server, EverQuest adventurers will be surrounded by a magical experience increase from around 11:00 a.m. PDT on Thursday, July 2nd until around 9:00 a.m. PDT on Monday, July 6th. Those nasty mobs will be worth an extra 51% experience points (on all servers!) through the holiday weekend. Happy adventuring!

Let the grindage commence.

[Tyen]

So how is the server? I want to hear all the details and drama~
