Can someone please start a new pvp server

[Samsonite]

Why can't someone just start a new legit pvp server? The community of Dead99 has spoken and we want a wipe but P99 won't wipe it clean so we have to take matters into our own hands now.

[Izmael]

Because it takes years of work by dedicated and talented personnel to construct the database and software needed to run a P99 server.

[Baler]

Wipe it clean 2018!
Bring in a leader board. Wipe red every year

[Topdog]

lets crowdfund a couple of btc and send rogean paying him for the source+database

i can indefinitely host red99 free of charge on powerful equipment and unlimited bandwidth... will give root access to whomever wants to run the show, dmca notices from daybreak llc will be sent directly to the trashcan

[Kohedron]

I actually downloaded all of the stuff from EQEMU to get started, and I was blown away by how easy they made it to start your own server.

Unfortunately my programming expertise is severely lacking in the database department so I gave up on whatever pointless goal I had in mind

[Tassador]

Yeah p99 has the best code and rogainz gets it. Really eq is not for us who want to come in tornado through content while talking shit and killing each other. It's for the blue fucks who sit back and socialize through games like my good pal skarlon. After hanging on for a few years after that awesome classic experience, I came to the realization "why?"

Hope this helps.

Would be nice if mods here started banning and or locking, wipe it clean threads.

No wipe kid, make a char or go play on another premier everquest emu

Can GMs ban this spaz that cries about every wipe it clean thread?

This forum is dedicated to wiping the server now. If you want to talk about current Red99 go fuck off back to in game /ooc. Can you imagine posting on a forum for a topic you don't even participate in? Pathetic.

other boxes are so corrupt.

speaking of DBs I know Salty has the VZTZ DB.

however since P99 the VZTZ DB isn't really all that. There were several failed attempts to run a box based off the VZTZ DB that went nowhere.

No idea why you all play the corrupt Zek DB but shunned the VZTZ DB servers.

i disagree with rogean having the best code, at least how the server runs-wise. a lot of emus run a lot smoother, less lag, no stuttering ect. p99 has some anti-cheat throttling shit going on that really make the game run like shit. seriously if you try some of the other trash emus, their servers run so much soother, even when latency is worse.

it does have best code if you are talking classic mechanics though. pathing is def better here too.

[silo32]

there will be no wipe

sorry you are mad and lost

over 100 players online

while you 15-20 players that probably havnt logged onto p99 in years keep crying for that fresh server, the reason you want a fresh server is because you lost the first time around

i remember you trying to water dodge me hippo on your rmt'd out rogue, it was so funny killing you hahah

ps

no wipe, sorry but make a new thread about it

[Tassador]

Yeah the people who aren't playing on locked server so called thriving 120 pop lost. Dem drugs are good boys.

[heartbrand]

Was part of almost every server first kill, have BiS gear including 2 SoD’s, have over half a dozen mana stones, four sleepers keys, woke sleeper.

Plz wipe.

Also lol at 100+ people online being a positive thing

[Beastagoog]

100 toons logged in with about 25 been boxed aka It's fake numbers.

Boxing was so rampant even when I last played...it'd be out of control at present.

P.s every alt I had was pretty much box PLed as an example.

If I was sirken I would just pop in to ToV one day as the major guild kills a hard dragon and just instant kill the dragon and suspend all toons where they stand then line them up and do a massive box test. Any toon that goes LD gets an auto suspension.

i have screenshots of me killing this nub

a few times, the global YT is what got me an invite into nihilum

true story i could post ss's but it would blow my cover

[Kaino]

everyone hear that? this guy earned an invite into the exclusive project 1999 red raiding guild "nihilum"

lol I got one for being level 55 I guess you had to kill checkraise, Hebrew, or hb if you were a druggor..

this might have also been after nihilum and checkraise was in empire, maybe he had all the sod's primal bis, wich makes it even worse i coined him

could have been all a dream

but i will go with

[ x ] drugs

[Complexity]

Wipe it clean.

I earned it, I deserve it.

[Phenyo]

Wipes not gonna happen and noone will be host an even remotely competent private box that isnt corrupt and or drugs

[AzzarTheGod]

good point any box created with the VZTZ DB has been run by a very corrupt dude (and I love the guy) but my earlier post wasn't really a good example of VZTZ DB launches since none of the hosts were legit.

[Jazzy]

Newsflash

R99 never had exclusive guilds

[heartbrand]

I’d host it but the coders aren’t there to make it work

[heartbrand]

Also since when did killing me become an impressive feat lol? I stopped caring about YT the second velious launched.

[Lulz~Sect]

i'd play on this mensch's server

This definitely never happened. I never died water dancing. I only died a couple times on that char and it was in KC and my bind point.

[Tassador]

And you definitely died to specs in oasis :/

[Palemoon]

If new server: ONE account per player, verified by real life info. Not shareable or tradeable.

Oh and revert to server start pvp rules/pvp level range/ SZ style xp loss on pvp death (or RZ style item loot, choose either but one of these is needed to give death extra sting it needs) etc.

[Lulz~Sect]

Sign me up
If you hack you get doxxed

Or if someone from the gm team gets kicked and kept a backup of everyone's info.

Never will happen.

That's not how internet works though?

unrelated note: Box pop is lowish because of training/griefing (it's been hovering at a player density that's just boring enough to discourage consistent fuckery for a couple years now). Reset wouldn't have any effect after a couple months and a reset cycle of a couple months would quickly kill the casual population.

If you enforce the rules and take out non-classic griefing incentives like global YT's, it would slowly go up on its own. Current pop seems fine though. I'd quit if it turned into another clusterfuck like blue.

I legitimately want to start the next real pvp server. I played SZ, VZ/TZ, and the other pvp incarnations including a bit of R99. What servers did you play on? Like your ideas. Need to get in touch with the hard corers and see what the interest level is.

[heartbrand]

The server doesn’t need complicated rules. It just needs antihax with limited to no intervention from “staff” other than fixing bugs and stopping trainers. The only custom thing I’d be interested in is PvP deaths sending you to east commons or something to add a sting for death while also preventing bind rushing. Maybe an option to summon your body with a two hour Rez effect debuff to act as an automated loot and scoot. If you could really find some immersion and coding then adding quests and itemization to underused areas of classic EQ would be cool.

I can't remember if it was VZ/TZ or LoZ but one of them had some amazing custom events. Everfrost caves raid? I'm not some purist, I want to capture the spirit of EQ pvp, not some cardboard carbon copy.

Been thinking about the idea of one toon per person, single box only.

[kildone]

I am a software engineer and database expert willing to work on a new server. I would admit that I am stuck on a 18 year old elf sim blah blah blah. Truth is there has never been a better MMO than EQ and broken/unbalanced as EQ pvp was nothing better has emerged. One or more might have but $$$ on the millions has trumped any attempt at making a game fun.

[kildone]

Side note my expertise is on programs but add in someone like Agatha appears to be to run customer service and handle that aspect then any problem you can post has a good resolution based on community control of the server.

[Chronoburn]

What is the tech stack that eqemu runs on? I know I love working on 20 year old platforms.

[Chronoburn]

To answer my own question ...

EQEmulator is a custom completely from-scratch open source server implementation for EverQuest built mostly on C++

MySQL/MariaDB is used as the database engine (over 200+ tables)
Perl and LUA are both supported scripting languages for NPC/Player/Quest oriented events
Open source database (Project EQ) has content up to expansion OoW (included in server installs)
Game server environments and databases can be heavily customized to create all new experiences
Hundreds of Quests/events created and maintained by Project EQ

I'm sure we can code up a new server in no time! Someone get going on creating a Docker image.

already doing that since devn00b is running season 5 of zek, I am just making the code changes he asks for. But you probably don't like his plans either haha.

[image]

Yeah the guy who people have been complaining about running it for the last 10 years is now running it by himself. how novel. I heard things are really looking up for S5 too with the degenerative snoozefest design. most of your fanboys have no idea what they are even walking into in S5. Can't wait to see them all get punked since you guys get off on that shit over there.


check the FOH archive from several years ago and you'll see stuff like devnoob taking his DB and going home. hes running it because hes always been able to threaten image any time the going gets tough. Its always been held hostage. The whole current working relationship is relatively new in the last 4-5 years.


Well for what its worth if anyone has any source questions on eqemu I gladly answer them on the eqemulator.net forums (sometimes I get private messages on discord too for eqemu) -- there are quite a few people that ask me about setting up PVP based servers, but id say a bunch of you are all scattered trying to do your own thing right now.

[RenlyB]

I've got a server setup w/ a mostly classic DB. Only thing that's missing is pre-revamp planes. I coded in a leaderboard (in-game.) etc. Just that nobody who played Zek seemed to care, they rather play Zek. Which it's fun sure. If someone gives me a reason to care I could continue dev. I don't need servers, bandwidth or technical assistance. I'm a level 9000 nerd in databases, C++ and cash. I need some people interested in being guides and era experts in regards to quests and things who are willing to do some scripting. Get at me.

Ayye id play

[shokar]

seen renly using stick on red before Do not play this man's box.

[RenlyB]

Server GMs won't be allowed to play on my box. Hacking won't be possible because I know all the hacks that are possible. Perma IP and master account-wide ban instantly when detected.

Network-side will be encrypted so no SEQ either, sorry.
Custom binary with memory encryption, no offset hacks either.

Don't care if you play, I can guarantee I hate hackers more.

you're thinking of the rile event from VZTZ 1.0 aka daxum's box

which was probably the most fun i've had on EQ but the community is way different now in a very bad way

i would be seriously impressed if you were able to actually stop everything that can be done to hack/exploit the everquest client

some sophisticated(invasive) antihax and forcing a filecheck on zone would probably be your best bet, but that would create a potentially very bad user experience if zone times are long

good luck, though

[SamwiseRed]

Just put no hacks in the eula.

[AzzarTheGod]

Just put no hacks in the eula.

works for the current zek server. just scold the hackers in /tells and discord and hope they stop.


not that anyone treats emulated boxes as a joke and will use as much hacks as possible or anything. the sheep grossly overestimate how much people care about these little emulated servers. Some of you guys really believe there is some sanctity to them or some brotherhood among pvpers like its 2007 again.

There is a no fucks given culture that maybe only Cwall understands in 2018 that didnt exist exactly in the same way during the VZTZ days. If you missed VZTZ you are clueless on box communities and clueless on why emulated boxes keep failing to hold together.

[Jazzy]

Wasnt Renly from GoT a fay gate?

[GoldScar]

I have figured out a way to create a 100% hackfree pvp server, I just wonder who is still out there that is ready for real EQ again. Knuckle, Smedy, old school VZTZers? Are they still around and wanting this?

[Chronoburn]

Guaranteeing 100% hack free essentially says you don't know shit.

Sure Renlybox will be a hack free environment :^)
