[EQ] Best Free Server (w/ Titanium installed)?

Angry Amadeus · 08-19-2009, 07:13 PM

Looking to tool around in Blackburrow for a while, maybe head over to Emerald Jungle.

What's the best free server setup? Someone help a cantankerous old fucker out.

I've got Titanium installed and not updated.

Thanks -AA

Shards of Dalaya?

SoD sucks, try PEQ for a legit server, for custom try stormhaven or ez server.

Hatorade · 08-19-2009, 08:00 PM

Have yet to try SoD I just see a ton of threads here about it.

BanquozGhost · 08-19-2009, 08:11 PM

Are Blackburrow and EoJ even the same on Shards? They changed quite a few things on that server. I'll second PEQ. Of the legit servers it seems to have the largest population.

Shards is pretty cool and it is the closest thing you will come to a classic EQ experience on a free server. Sure they changed up a bunch of stuff, but it still plays like old EQ for the most part and it definitely has the biggest and most dedicated community of all the free servers. Go in with an open mind and you will probably have fun. There is actually a lot of interesting unique content created by the guys who run the game.

How has there been three of these in the past week?

Goliath · 08-19-2009, 09:29 PM

And just come to Mayong. Modern EQ is actually good now, once you accept it. And there's tons of players to actually play with.

Angry Amadeus · 08-20-2009, 12:34 AM

On Shards - name is Plaxius. Tooling around Blackburrow - it's been about eight years.

Fun stuff.

My brother and I are currently working on a EQEmu server that we hope to start beta this Friday. It's a Hybrid PVP/PVE server.

Here's the site: Flame of Chaos

Here is the storyline/general ruleset of the server:

Good luck enforcing those rules

The source code has been altered and they are hard coded systems. No need for policing.

Vithe · 08-20-2009, 03:53 PM

What Bongk said. The server code is already in place and working, zone lockouts, invuln timers, etc..

Thrawnseg · 08-20-2009, 04:16 PM

Will this server be old world/progression or everything open at once?

It's a Hybrid PVP/PVE server. Here's the site: Flame of Chaos Here is the storyline/general ruleset of the server: Spoiler Alert, click show to read: "Flame of Chaos" "After many years in Norrath peace finally reigned over the world and its people. Even the Gods had a minor agreement to not interfere with the affairs of the people of Norrath as long as the people left the Planes and left the Gods to their own affairs. For 100 years this peace lasted until the event known only to the Gods as "Choati" happened. A brilliant yet insane human Wizard learned his magic quickly when he was young. He amazed everyone around him coming up with new exciting theories on how to extend magic beyond its current uses. His name was "Choati" and he soon became bored with wizardly studies. He knew more about magic than many scholors learned in their lifetime, and yet he was no older than 24 years old. Older scholors kept him at a short leash and he resented that and resented them. One day he just disappeared and was never heard from again until... Choati had been working secretly on a device he claimed would bring him the ultimate power. His plans were to rule Norrath and all the Gods of Norrath. His first attack came to the Gods. After 100 years of no person of Norrath entering a plane of existence Innoruk felt the presence of a human in his realm. The hate of the pact being broken caused Innoruk to lash out immediately with no remorse towards Choati. That's when the first God fell.... Innoruk was trapped in Choati's device along with a piece of the Plane of Hate. Choati then moved, from plane to plane capturing the Gods and pieces of the planes of existences they ruled. Some people called this device "Plavin" which means "Pocket Plane". It appeared that this device created its own plane of existance and he was able to trade Gods and create mini-planes inside this device. Choati then took charge of each of these planes he captured amassing an army from every plane to raid Norrath and establish his rule there. This is when the "event" happened. All of the planes and Gods trapped within the "Plavin" device started to merge into one another. Physics and laws from one plane merged with physics and laws from another plane. Everything eventually merged together into a new plane the gods have called "Chaos". Chaos warped everything it came into contact with and eventually warped the "Plavin" device itself. Once unleashed reality started warping and the "unthinkable" started happening everywhere. The Gods knew that if this wasn't stopped soon that it would take over everything that existed and reality as they knew it would cease to exist. The Gods tried everything to stop it but it was spreading faster than they could stop it, the effects were mind boggling. Every person who came in contact with it went insane. Animals went crazy, the most vicious animal on Norrath turned as tame as a newborn baby. Some places time flowed backwards and fowards in a neverending loop. Some places the ground was up and the sky was down. Chaos had consumed Norrath. The Gods final attempt at stopping this was to enter the Plane of Time and go back far enough and stop Choati from doing this. However when the Gods went back in time they found that Chaos still ruled there too! It appeared Chaos had no time barrier to its destruction. However one thing they did notice was the effects were less in the past than in the present. The Gods had no choice, they went back far enough in time where they thought the effects were gone. Before the people of Norrath had discovered how to access the Planes. Long, Long ago. However, the Gods weren't perfect, Chaos' effects are light at this time, but are still there, AND they are spreading.... The Gods don't want to interfere with the people of Norrath in this timeline, but emmisaries have been sent to warn the people of Norrath about this and are asking people to investigate ways of stopping it. The people of Norrath call the effect "Flame of Chaos" and it can be seen today..." That's the base story that will be of this server. What once was called "Hardcore" zones will now be called "Chaos" zones. These zones will have the same ruleset applied to them ie: PVP enabled Group vs Group, Guild vs Guild battles AA experience on killing a player Loot 1 item from the corpse Cannot leave zone for 1 minute after engaging in PVP Cannot attack someone for 30 seconds upon zoning in Only attack people within 9 levels 5x normal dungeon experience PVP events inside the zones (to be determined later) If you're interested, check us out on the site and register.
