View Full Version : If you are still on the fence on trying Zek.....

I've played this server pretty casually and so far it is a blast. If you are thinking about trying it out, just do it.

This server does everything it can to promote pvp.

* Best gear from pvp points
*respawn with gear (pvp death only)
*portals so you can travel to find pvp easily

The single biggest reason I think this server is a success at what it set out to accomplish, is that even if you die in pvp, you still get a point towards purchasing pvp gear.

This means it is better to just fight to the death than to plug...unless you really care about your KDR and run around with 6 nukers.

What this means is, even if you play casually and people get way ahead of you, eventually you will still get your epic and resist gear, and will still be able to pvp on the same level as others.

Don't mind any of the butthurt threads, so far this server is extremely fun and you can get to lvl 20 in literally an hour if you do it right.

ya I mean that reason is ok

for me, the thought of gearing up spending rl time, then having wipe soon is pointless.

hence why Im not playing. and why mad nerds take my names lol

You can max level in about a week, people wanted seasons so they can continue to enjoy the fresh servers.

with the recent lack of dev updates and progress on discord, it seems likely p1999 is going to pass away relatively soon

since the time i registered i've never had the impression that support was at such a low level

then again a lot has happened

You're not alone. Most people are primarily here to raid and gear their toons.

Server wipes only really appeal to pvp'rs

I chuckled, was a good post.

I got too much going on ya know both on red99 and rl. Hard to balance ya know.

the struggle is real

It is sad to see people playing on Red/Blue and Zek but these people do exist. If you are playing Zek alone you can have fun putting in a couple 2-3 hour sessions a week.

If you are immersed in Red99 right now then it is definitely not worth it.

exactly whats happening with me. this is good for me right now, catching up from the first 6 months of velious that I lost on r99 so, feels good

I play like a few hours a week, I don't want to put 50 hours into a game and then have it wiped. That would be like deleting my Fallout 4 save every time I get to Concord. (the first town)

As far as EQ PvP goes, Zek provides about as even of a playing field as it's going to get.

I'm confused - why this is sad?

Last night I lived my fashionquest dreams on zek as a high elf ranger in full rubicite slaughtering some of the good team and getting slaughtered by Dava, ran around farming poison making mats on R99, finished a colorado common grant application, made a grilled pork loin with a raw herb sauce, and skyped with my brother while we played a game of League all pretty much within the same 2.5 hour window.

It was amazing and probably the least sad thing I will do all week.

Will wipe in like 2 months, not 6. Also takes 10 hours going very slow to hit the level caps per week and rest of time is pvping in rags (the funnest kind)

C u tonight

actually requires a modified client to play so the mass titanium mq2 downloads all over the internet dont work. someone would need to recompile with updated offsets, which is possible, but there is no public download of it.


anyways, like p99 and other eqemu servers the range at which other players send their updates to you is drastically reduced, but even more reduced on zek. players wont come in range on showeq or mq2map until you can see them on your screen

and most of the cool shit you could do with mq2 has been nerfed on eqemu so all you can do is speed run / warp if you're talking about active hacks

I'd need selos test for confirmation of /stick. But it looks like hacks are in use for Jib.
