Chardok bridge (XP) group...

[Swish]

Any interest in an XP group tomorrow night around 8pm EST? These are good on red, but this one is on blue.

Hoping to bring my level 51 enchanter, 57 cleric or 58 SK along for some good times and levels. Level range 50-58 probably the kind of thing we want.

Example vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6eaztnu5c4

Saturday night: 8pm EST

If interested please leave your IGN, class and level below...

Pretty sure thats the whole reason Swish exists.

[Swish]

My cleric has been 57 for about 2-3 years, it's time I moved him towards 60... or SK, or enchanter depending what the group needs.

[Jotei]

I should like to join you for this, though I am not certain I will be on :c I shall endeavor to be on though at that time and will join you if you've room and need of a 58 monk ^^

Lol...was gonna say how long has Kriven been 57

[azxten]

I'll be there, 58 Druid

[Erati]

I'll be there, 58 Druid

there will prob be some former Forsaken running the AE group- this endevear could have bad results for their planned fun, hopefully you are OK with that since you were guilded with them

They're pretty understanding of putting yourself first so it should be okay.

[indiscriminate_hater]

I always wondered how much money you could extort from chardok aoe by setting up camp on the bridge. Kudos to Swish for taking this passive-aggressive swing at the entrenched (read: can't physically leave their chairs) elite

[Priceline]

keep that group going all weekend, get a list started, make em pay for what they've done to the server!

[Swish]

Assuming so far I'm playing my cleric which is no bad thing. A slower/CC, would be awesome, add your name below

57 cleric (or 58 sk, or 51 enchanter)
58 monk
58 druid

...who else is in? Might be streaming it.

[Sorn]

Can't tonight, but would be able to on Sunday if you decide to do a second day.

[Swish]

Yes it is likely

[Swish]

bump - starting in an hour... turning up on my cleric.

Send a tell to Kriven if you'd like to join us. Logging in shortly.

Will switch to another character if a cleric wants to come ^^

[Tupakk]

If ur still rolling by the time I get done with the second show I'll swing by on my 57 Bard. With a 60 Rog in my pocket as well

[Swish]

Bard would be great, see you soon Tupakk :p

[Baler]

15 minutes,. Hope someone records or streams this. :D

[silo32]

Ruthlessly trained by Lifelock / chardok AE group after we said we were clearing down. I do hope the GMs will do something about this zone disruption and deliberate training.

http://i.imgur.com/wlhShkd.jpg

[Swish]

Lifelock initially said he was waiting for us to clear, so we carried on. Then the train came, and I did say in ooc/shout a bunch of times we were still clearing (so not in a safe spot).

After getting killed the lawyerquesting from the AOE group came out, and my group didn't like the bad atmosphere they were causing. If we're a community who enjoys classic EverQuest we need to learn to share.

[Tasslehofp99]

lol that guy nukin seems like such a dousche "your not going to just come in and xp wont go down"

god I hope I'm not guilded with that guy

[Droxx]

Leads chardok exp group to cause trouble; leaves because they don't want to cause trouble.

[Cecily]

Trained again, killed and killed again by the same train at zone in when the AE group wiped. These groups need to stop.

I'm watching the stream. You guys aggroed their train and dragged it past the AOE group and onto the people sitting at the entrance. This is pretty funny, but I don't think anyone, objectively, thinks you guys are claiming moral high ground.

Doing a Chardok Xp group on a bonus xp weekend is like walking into a Lion cage with a meat suit on. Shits going to happen to you but you brought it on yourself.

please and thank you

You might have died, but Swish ran it to the entrance (for what reason since its not an exit?) and ended up disrupting the pull.

Doesn't matter I guess, though, cause Sirken took the opportunity regardless of what happened.

are you questioning a staff decision?

[Swish]

Well we didn't get to the bridge but we did eventually get down to the castle.

The haters in the Twitch chat were numerous (like a live stream RNF), and we got intentionally trained again after Sirken left as an attempt to lawyer a "they died, the camp/zone is ours now"... but we persisted, and actually - once the mads went away, we went on to have a really good time...and I streamed it for over 5 hours which was good fun :)

Thanks to everyone who came along, that was a pure nostalgia trip for me... I hadn't grouped in Chardok since mid-2013 with an old enchanter pal while on my cleric. The best part was we had 2 people who saw this thread on the forums who hadn't logged in for a couple of years and they wanted to come along...so welcome back you both <3

To the Chardok AOE guys - please learn to share the zone. It's good for regular XP as well as your plat farm AOE stuff.

Thanks again,

Swish (Kippers)

[Swish]

Also a fun fact. Awakened came along about 3 hours in and wanted to pull the Royals to the zone out... guess what? We moved out of the way and let them do their thing.

Sharing is caring.

[Lune]

yea I don't really play anymore but it was worth logging in to see sirken DT a villain and do a lil chardok

Had a fun time xping with all you fellows, I was Doomsies. Fck Chardok AoE.

/mic drop

[Jmcwrestling]

I would empathize with people more about chardok aoe if i felt like people actually wanted to xp there. Everyone knows good and well they can xp there if they want and the staff supports the xp'ers. But I have seen a grand total of 2 (including swish's group) groups start xp groups there.

It will be revamped and become impossible soon anyway.

I don't see anyone complaining about Bard/Druid PL'ing so I'm not sure what the big deal is with chardok aoe.

Regardless, glad the bridge group had fun today and wish i could have brought a character to try it out myself.

[Morbo the Annihilator]

Chardok AE is a scourge that has done nothing but flood the server with incompetent level 60 characters, and is the realm of people who hate EQ and despise the standard levelling process.

However, to allege that today's group was a Bridge XP group is laughable. There was 0% chance that events would have unfolded any differently, and everyone involved knew it.
It was a day of rustled jimmies and needless petitionquest, when a legitimate xp group could have done very well for themselves in the halls below bridge, out of the way of regular AE activities.

Congratulations on unnecessarily disrupting one of the very few bonus xp weekends on the calendar.

To be fair, our group was killed 3 times by trains before we even made it to the fort. Diplomacy might have been an option, but the 2nd and 3rd train took that off the table. There is no justification for any group in any zone being subject to that. The server rules apply in Chardok as well. Thank you Sirken for backing us. We really did have a great time exping once the zone got quieter.

Common sense would dictate that one does not try to set up a group in known volatile positions. but whatever, you were in it for the laughs, and that's exactly what you got, so you win i guess.

I stand by my earlier remarks.
I would love to see the petition outcome if you insisted on your right to a peaceful group along the path of an FTE footrace.

[Baler]

Every exp weekend people have been forcibly unable to enjoy chardok as it was designed. The AoE PLing groups have been disrupting that zone time and time again.

I'm glad to see there was finally some attention given to this problem. For what ever reason, It was needed badly. I hope this sends a message to people that it is not okay to break rules just because people have done it in the past and gotten away with it.

[Cecily]

It wasn't just for the laughs. It was taking a stand against what MANY of us consider a game ruining institution, and I can only hope this inspires other people to realize that simply because Chardok AE is a thing it does not stop them from experiencing the zone the way it was intended.

[Swish]

After being rezzed by Awakened at the end of the night I made just over a yellow of 51. I think it would have been more if we weren't trained on at the start and that was the only thing that slowed us down.

I think the AOE group attracts the worst of people, unwilling to compromise or share for whatever reason. I'm still not sure why people spend hours per day hoarding virtual currency, why do that (or buy levels) when you can have a nostalgia trip and enjoy some casual grouping with pals instead?

A good point made about the revamp, arguably if you want to enjoy Chardok v1 as the original devs intended you should get in there before it changes and I encourage people to give it a go.

[Tuljin]

I saw this post,a few days ago and last night someone says to me "wow theres a group at bridge in Chardok and somebody doing AoE got banned"

I go "oh that much be Swish's XP group he posted about"

Dude says "yep, exactly"

Its comically pathetic how the predictability of the behvaior of the assholes on this server has transformed into reliable clairvoyance.

Fuck Chardok AoE, fuck the assholes on this server that ruin it for the rest of us, and fuck the "raid" hegemony

Is Chardok even a top 10 spot for XP for a actual group? I mean we all know what Swish's intention was here and he succeeded. You (Swish) cant deny the whole point of this group was disrupt the chardok AE(If you try too it just means you are saying you are a moron). When in reality i'm sure you could have found someone else to go to xp that would have yeilded better results. It was completely a dick move just because you dont like how chardok AE operates. I'm sure if you had your way EC would be shutdown too just because of your personal beliefs. This server isnt about peoples personal beliefs though. This server is about recreating a time in our lives where we enjoyed playing EQ. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean it shouldnt exist. Yeah rules are rules but maybe just using some common sense and not trying to screw over people making plat/getting levels(because EQ is a game that doesnt require any skill just button mashing and counting to 12.) to enjoy themselves in EQ would have made your Saturday more enjoyable too. Even though deep down i'm sure you enjoyed it very much anyway.

I've said this so many times I can't even count. Chardok is a major reason why this server is full of shitheads that shouldn't have even gotten to 60 in the first place then think they're hot shit cause they get in line to poopsock for dargon loots. Fucking unbelieveable.

Swish is the smart one here. He's not the one who got smited. The AoE nubs fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Pras.

One would think its easy enough to go kill mobs elsewhere and get the bonus XP and have fun but the problem is the AoE nubs have been AoEing and poopsocking/buffing for DKP so much they can't even play the damn game. Also, their "easy money" fucks the economy and especially those who actually hunt for their plat/gear.

The level of P99 asshattery has reached unprecedented heights. GG everybody, keep it up

This isnt an RNF thread, if you want to rant about server ethics, what makes you upset and etc etc you know how to make a thread there.

This was a nostalgia run that started badly but yielded some nice XP at the end. If I was trolling I probably wasnt staying there for 5+ hours, honestly.

Thanks again to the good guys who I grouped with and those who helped with resses at the end (Cleritani and pals) <3

I mean...I kinda agree, but at the same time swish xping at bridge is within the rules, it's up to the ae group to adapt. Can't find a new pull spot really? Seems like there's a solution they could have come up with to keep ae going, even though OMG only 85 merbs instead of 125. Can't even imagine someone who played classic but just started playing here and hearing how "bridge group is just a troll" would react.

PS did someone get bant?

[Tuljin]

Is Chardok even a top 10 spot for XP for a actual group?

I don't mean to point fingers but I see this argument come up a lot.

This whole business of selective P99 rule lawyering is unreal. Whether or not its a popular spot has no relevance. Technically speaking, Chardok AoE is training and KSing mobs. Its hogging an entire zone. Its also an exploit. Period.

Before it was a 24/7 AoE machine, there were actually -plenty- of Chardok groups. It was never packed like Seb but there were multiple groups there nightly. It is a fine zone, and most importantly its -another option- to the already limited number of high level zones.

It should be an option for those of us who have a "playstyle" that involves ~~~actually playing EQ~~~ i.e. getting a group together and going and killing mobs in dungeons for XP, drops, quest pieces, and good times. This is not an unreasonable point of view whatsoever.

[Swish]

Compare it to 5 pullers running around KC all waiting for something to spawn so they can run back to their group with it? During busy periods its a great alternative that should be considered for sure - noticeable progress through 51 last night.

Lol this is about your ethics not the servers and wasnt a rant or a flame just a logical observation about how you act to things you do not like. Sorry it touched a nerve. Good luck on your future jimmy rustling since thats what you seem to enjoy doing.

[Raev]

Is Chardok even a top 10 spot for XP for a actual group?

Yes. The Chardok fort is pretty similar to the Sebilis Chef/Bar area in terms of XP, and loot is probably better (before the AOE plague the Stave of Shielding was 40k, the Sarnak Battle Shield was 20k, etc). As a L58 in Kunark looking for a reasonable combination of loot and XP, the only camps that are clearly better are the Crypt and King in Sebilis and Charasis South. I spent a good bit of time there when Kunark came out because Sebilis was so packed.

Plus, let's not forget that Chardok AE is not classic. It was not possible to AE so many targets without going LD on your 56k modem. Plus, there was special code that limited the number of NPCs that would attack one player at once.

We now have level limits on epics because it was getting so ridiculous. It's time to limit PBAOE spells to 25 targets and force the Chardok mafia to get actual jobs to pay their rent.

[Jimjam]

I don't really care for chardok AoE, it's not my play style.

That said, I know one of the arguments for the regular group here was to have a 'classic chardok 1.0 experience', but you could do this at any time (i.e. not xp bonus weekend). Indeed I don't recall xp bonus being classic, so you couldn't have chosen a worse time to have your 'classic chardok 1.0 experience'.

I have been amused by this thread, and would love to get a 'proper' chardok group sometime before the revamp comes in.

[azxten]

Is this group happening again in 2 hours?

[Swish]

Is this group happening again in 2 hours?

I wanted to do another group tonight but sadly I've got to be up early for work (yes, on a national bank holiday here). If people want to co-ordinate another 6-man venture then this isn't a bad thread to do it. I know there were a couple of guys who couldn't make it last night that wanted to attend if there was another one.

To further address some critical comments about "why Chardok? why on the bonus XP weekend?". Based on previous experiences of bonus XP weekends, there really hasn't been anywhere to go that hasn't already been camped. I fondly remember a guild group where we checked KC, Sebilis, HS, the Hole, Chardok AOE was of course running, and we ended up trying Kedge Keep. Every KK camp was taken, I've never known that before.



So based on that, combined with adding some nostalgia to my experiences in 2013 and on live... I thought it was worth a shot. Just because people don't XP in there normally doesn't mean you shouldn't XP in there. I think mostly people don't want to deal with what we had to deal with last night...asshattery and lawyering attempts.

The most cringey was after Sirken left and a DE necro brought an unannounced train. As soon as we died the Chardok guys all zoned back in and were hastily forming a group...as if to say "you died, the zone is ours now".



If anyone is forming a group in there, don't be deterred by the Chardok guys - do as we did last night, keep them informed of where you are and what you're clearing. Hopefully last night is a lesson that they need to work with XP groups, not train them into quitting out of the zone (as happened with my first group).

common sense dictates surrendering to the chardok aoe madness, sure. but sometimes common sense sucks. I miss chardok, personally. I liked xp'ing there on live.

kudos to swish for standing up to it, something I do not say lightly. he put his money where his mouth was, something I didn't do.

Is Chardok even a top 10 spot for XP for a actual group?
it would be, if you would be allowed to use it. it's actually amusing to me that you don't even know. how could you? you've never been able to do chardok regularly.

[Jmcwrestling]

I am still confused.
The GM's are on your side of you start an xp group.
If you get trained because of aoe, /petition and you're in the right.
I don't understand why people act like aoe blocks you from using the zone.
Everyone is more than welcome to make a Chardok xp group.

Yes the aoe group will be upset if they have to call things off because of your group, but I feel like most people playing this game would be upset if they had to give up the mobs they were killing.
Yes, aoe kills most of the mobs in the zone, but it's similar to contesting spawns in a place like guk. Can't have AM / Lord / frenzy all at the same time if someone else wants to kill one of them.

[Wiff]

Just because the rules favor Little Timmy's pug won't make him willing to soldier through hours of repeated trains and nonstop tension in ooc for the privilege of killing mobs there for an hour or so after the GM rezzes go out and the drama finally settles down. But I'm sure his guildy who just spent plat on a dud AE would be more than happy to rep, not like he has anything else going on.

[Pope Hat]

Pathetic.

[Swish]

Any Chardok groups forming tonight?

Not planning one tonight but NostalgiaQuest wasn't a one night only thing - for other nostalgia seekers I'll post up when the next trip is happening...maybe try some Velious zones on some lower level characters too.

[Halfelfbard]

im down for chardok on a tue/wed, i can play for as long as you need me. 60 bard.

[Verath]

This is gold. I've made the transition to Phinigel and often xp in Chardok. It's great xp, and would take the burden off KC, Seb and HS. Chardok can support a ton of players, there were 32 people in zone yesterday and there was no shortage of mobs.

[Nixtar]

People ask me about Chardok. I love Chardok. One of the best places to gain experience.

#MakeChardokGreatAgain

Also, nicely done, Swish. These AE groups are on the same level as RMT:ers.

[Eabon]

Chardok is an amazing group exp zone and I made groups for there all the time when I was levelling up in 2011. This one time we had a drunk-only group and everybody was in Vent and it was a pretty alright time, however then Talendor spawned and so I had to try lead the raid while totally pissed but I ended up training us with twenty adds and wiping us spectacularly.

[Sodors Finest Poster]

OCCUPY CHARDOK

[Troxx]

During a double xp weekend over half a year ago, there was almost nowhere to xp that wasn't full for the 50+ crowd. KC was wtf-busy, seb was fully camped, kedge was even full. We took a group of 5 to Chardok and xp'd the zone out. We didn't have enough mobs as we intentionally avoided the aoe group pulling to zone in.

It was great xp, far better than KC. Per kill it was comparable to the better camps in Seb.

On a server that frequently over-camps KC - chardok is very close by and better xp. The mobs are tougher and the zone is less friendly, but it's well worth it.

[MycahDavith]

SOB I can't believe I missed out on this. Chardok is one of my fav zones, and even more so after the revamp. So much good loots! Maybe now is a good time to get some people familiarized with the zone before the patch comes thru?

I still need my Prince and Queen kills also.

Maybe I'll talk to the guildies and see if we can get a regular thing going ;)

egg fucking zackly dude.

the argument from the chardok aoers that the zone is no good for regular xp has always been a shit argument. at long last we have people with actual recent experience to back this up, since nobody apparently believed our tales from yesteryear.

Chardok AoE has always been full of shitheads. They blow hot air and the P99 nub hivemind buys it then with the passage of time we end up forgetting when the zone wasn't permanently hogged by the RMT machine.

Fuck Chardok AoE dude. It fucked this server irreparably.

I'd like to believe that Nilbog and Rogean realize chardok AoE destroyed their server.

All talking about the "old" experience in Chardok now (don't think about the 24h AOE-group). My question: What is different after the patch to chardok? Different loot? Monsters? I was only used to Chardok 16 years ago. And my toons on the server are to low to go there now. I remember a lot of good times beeing there with guildfriends from the past.
