RoZ 2.0 Review

[Nirgon]

Hitboxes are very classic.

Resists are more balanced than classic, I liked it enough.

2 boxxing allowed so you anti social types that wanna start as a pure melee, go ahead.

Selo's range is nerfed to bards gotta stick to who they want to give it to a bit more, seems like a cool change.


Should be a fun season even tho I already won it.

[Tassador]

You’re not playing anything classic but I am glad the pvp classic stuff is fixed. Hopefully pop is fixed and you all have a real healthy time fighting over dragons.

[Nirgon]

the hitboxes are very good, light years ahead of red launch

[iamnotsalem]

Pretty underwhelming review, didnt really touch on most of the issues 1.0 had

[Nirgon]

What is the issya? AC works, hitboxes are straight, resists seem alright....

Antisocials can roll pure melee to start....

?????

Issues on 1.0 were pets didn't get any aggro and you could send them on targets with no line of sight, charm worked for full duration every time even on red con mobs... and well plenty of other stuff that was super broken.

Not sure what that has to do with 2.0 review though.

[Tassador]

This is the best part of the forums now to be honest. These kiddos spamming for a possible +1

[Nirgon]

Any chance you can post your review on the ROZ forums no one reads? We dont care and we arent playing

Any staff able to ban nirgon for promoting a non p99 server on p99 forum?

thx wrankles, PVC empire going strong I'm sure

how many forum accounts is this now? lol

[iamnotsalem]

All the things Raclen said and more.

During classic 1.0 RoZ mob pathing didnt exist, combined with how strong charm was dungeon PvP was kind of ass. Every mage or charmed pet was sitting in a wall or floor attacking me for huge damage (melee damage still super high?) while I couldnt get LnS to CC IT. Training from frenzy to dead side ZL ? Not a chance on RoZ where it was pretty easy on red99. Once you hit the undead tower your entire train just sat inside the stair well attacking you through floors and walls.

When I came back a few weeks before velious pathing somehow got worse with all the mobs from most out door zones being clumped into static piles of 30+ mobs, never moving.

Is there still velious loot on classic mobs?

Is xp still ridiculously easy to get?

Is charm still broken?

Its going to suck for that "lonely" melee if he cant level up an enchanter and cleric to 50 in a few days and solo plane of hate mobs for resist jewelry

Can you still hit people high above you on the Z axis?

Target rings? AoN name plates? Awful item loot? People four boxing?


Actually




don't bother answering because im not going to play

[Nirgon]

I'd tell you to ask that in RoZ discord, but you're not going to read this

Simply my review of things after some pvp

Nice work nigron, wish i had more time to keep espn updates for roz

maybe after the holidays

Hi Salem pal - I miss playing with your presence. I'd like to address a few of your points if that's alright.

Our pathing is significantly improved though admittedly not perfect. We have gotten really good at addressing any issues with it, and we don't hear about it too often any more. We employ a navmesh system that actually stops mobs from pathing through walls and under the world when correctly implemented. While I personally prefer the problematic traditional node-based EQ pathing, Navmesh just makes more sense. And it should be noted that all servers have pathing issues. I was in LGuk live side on Green just recently and mobs were roaming through walls everywhere.

Fixing charm was something I completed in my first thirty days. Our implementation is quite classic, and while there are those that miss the days of full duration charm with 60 charisma, we are pleased to have corrected this powerful high risk / high reward mechanic. Charm has a sweet spot for effectiveness in terms of level disparity that scales through the levels, and the amount of Charisma required to give yourself the best chances of charm not breaking scales up with the level of the charm target. Tash, Malo, and other MR debuffs are appropriately effective tools for increasing charm's duration.

Mobs and players were limited to a specific Z-Range for melee attacks quite some time ago.

Pets require LOS to send on a player target, and pets independently aggro hostile NPCs; this has been the case for quite a while.

Our database is pretty clean and all the significant out-of-era loot has been corrected. We don't have 10 years of polish into it, but we've done a pretty bang up job in the time we've had.

Our melee damage is fully perfect and classic with some slight modifications for balance in Vanilla currently on 2.0 - pure melees get a significant hit rate boost, hybrids get a small hit rate boost, and both melees and hybrids attacking targets with lower defense skill get a further boost to hit rate. I personally handcrafted our melee system using the data acquired by Torven that I find to be extremely reliable. Come Kunark and Velious we will once again address these buffs in the name of balance.

We're not offering the same product R99 is, nor are we trying to. Rise of Zek is for the more hardcore-oriented player looking for a true sandbox experience. You're not getting banned for rooting a bard. We embrace making minor changes for pvp balance and to increase variety. We are attempting to create the sort of PVP server we'd enjoy playing on, so if you'd like to play, we'd love to have you, but even if no one played on our box, we'd still continue to work on it.

Best wishes, friend.

Your Pal,
Jeremy

[Tassador]

I just don’t think there is enough new targets to entice anyone to play your custom shit box. And you can’t get new players. Same old shit heads that no one misses playing with.

[quido]

I just don’t think there is enough new targets to entice anyone to play your custom shit box. And you can’t get new players. Same old shit heads that no one misses playing with.

We have a bunch of new players.

[Rushmore]

I'm one of those new players enjoying myself.

I would like to see an end to hot zones. Or please for the love of it ALL do not give the neck beards a hot zone post 30.

[quido]

No one shall prey upon me.

[Tassador]

I pray for the delusional all the time.

[quido]

Y'all seem really upset someone tried our server, had a good time, and made a post here to briefly talk about it.

[heartbrand]

I don’t play on RoZ hut I don’t get how someone could hate on Jeremy for trying his best to make a fun PvP server when there currently are no options available.

[Kohedron]

Wowow Planes of Power pvp on a jankass dead server wowow I CANNOT WAIT

Going where no jankass dead server has gone before!

1200 kills in 4 days - I'm having a good time.

[Tassador]

By all means have fun like I am laughing at that 50pop server. We all can have fun :)

[quido]

I'm sure that both your life and your gaming experiences are much more fulfilling than everyone else's.

[Tassador]

They are not and I do judge things by those manners however I do judge RoZ a complete failure and will continue to get tremendous joy from that.

Deal with it papo, but I’d first deal with the issue of 60 people playing.

[Raclen]

Sounds like tassador rolled and got his ass kicked, better luck next box kid.

[Tassador]

Yea lost really bad 2 mins into the server cried uninstalled and became bitter on the forums. I can fix that and be less bitter the question is can you fix the pop?

[quido]

We are very pleased that anyone is able to enjoy our vision. Our server very intentionally targets a small subset of emulated Everquest players. We could have blued things up to increase our casual count, but that's no fun.

Take the number of people that want to play emulated Everquest - then take the number of those players that want to play a PVP server at all - then take the number of those players that want to play a PVP server with item loot - then take the number of those players that want to play a PVP item loot server with no rules where training and bind camping are legal. Like I said, we're very pleased to have a hundred nerds battling it out in classic for the 13th time.

[Nirgon]

The level cap is 30

No one is in raid gear

You didn't miss anything

Band against Dentists or avoid them if encountered in even numbers

Pro tips from #1

[Jeni]

I thought about playing this but PvP is hard I much prefer to sit in 33 hour lines for my pixels

[Tassador]

Quick update here 118 players on with 2 box legal. Lvl 30 cap and lots of fun being had by a lot of people.

[quido]

Rise of Zek 2.0 is the most popular Everquest PVP server in the world.

[Tassador]

That’s a way to spin it with facts! Much calmer, you don’t seem as mad and you’re not trying explain to people, why they should play on your shit box.

Going to give the post a +1
Going to give your pop a double thumbs down. But if you 40 guys are having fun then that’s all that matters.

[Tassador]

90/2 - login screen = fun pvp stuff

[quido]

Rise of Zek 2.0 is the most popular Everquest PVP server in the world.

Sorry you lost.

[Fame]

Roz should launch a longer term emulated r99 server

maybe rog sees it and feels sorry for us

[Tassador]

I’d play red99 2.0 tomorrow and would never play roz. I am the majority :)

[Nirgon]

Band against Dentists or avoid them if encountered in even numbers


proof why red failed even fight? avoid it, if you cant zerg to win dont bother

hey everyone lump into 1 guild since we are garbageLOL

Thanks for your expert opinion

[Tassador]

120 on with boxing. 6 million recorded pvp kills. Fun had by all players.

[nottitanuk]

Only on p99 forums will you see others being mad about someone playing the same game as them . The only eq servers I hate are the ones I can’t win ( haven’t found one yet )

Thanks for the support p99 community(all 3 of you ) , we will keep you posted

[Tassador]

Just checked RoZ pop cause that’s my new daily amusement and it looks like maybe 60 people playing. Not sure with boxes and logins hard to get an accurate count.

[nottitanuk]

Damn dude I’m Sorry you’re life is that miserable you have to check on the population daily for a server you don’t even play on .

Praying for you pal

[Tassador]

Quick reply thanks for checking up the forums and praying for me man. I will make sure the 4 people here understand the pop over there LOL. Have fun tho not trying to stop your fun.

[nottitanuk]

4 ? Good to see you guys recruiting

[Bazia]

boxing servers are even more niche than pvp servers which are even more niche than everquest servers

no one who single boxes will seriously play a boxing server

[quido]

Many people can go either way.

I just checked - RoZ 2.0 is still the #1 Everquest PVP server in the world.

[Tassador]

Thread remind you of anything? Like when red had no pop and these same guys were like who plays on a 40 box server. Well now we know who those 40 are as they are playing on the worlds largest eq pvp server were the average pop is maybe 30. Maybe.

[kotton05]

I will prey for you all... sending my positive thots

[kotton05]

80 online monday business hours

same as primetime

hint none of these kids have jobs LOL

Grixus has found every incel left and decided to teach them how to hide on a pvp server to do pve

[Raclen]

Good luck with mith, too, heh. The king room is bugged as hell and stuff keeps falling through the floor and isnt repopped until GM gets around to it. And between the 3 people/groups camping king this last week got about 45 hours between them and not a single mith.

If anyone wants to do some classic EQ without the bugs RoZ has a great lower guk with a working King room. Merry Christmas everyone.

[Tassador]

RoZ population 44 desolate and desperate. Prayers sent post haste!

[Kokkusho]

All bullshit aside, I ran with it and experimented with no agenda:

Zek 2.0 - Population 120

Incognito for 3 days.
In those 3 days I’ve encountered 3 PvP encounters.
In those encounters, 1 yellow text (accumulation of all parties)

Red99 - Populaton 18
Incognito 3 days.
In those 3 days I’ve encounetted 4 PvP encounters.
In those encounters, 4 yellow text (accumulation of all parties)

Non-biased facts.
In both cases I started brand new, non-twink, self-reliant characters.
Overall, I blame SoW/buff boxes.

Moral of the story: boxing sucks.

[Tassador]

RoZ will never have a pop outside of the guys who play it. I think they are solely focused on retention and recruiting on these boards. Problem is people want red99 Classic pvp who check these boards and not a pile of dog poop.

I was hearing 250+ with boxes as the standard which obviously besides the servers obvious awful gameplay and flaws would of been something. But naw it maxes at 120 and like tomato says the average seems to be around 40-45 guys that just never log off and 2 box.

That being said the guys on there are used to playing with no one and I guess it’s fresh it’s fun.

[Danger]

RoZ will never have a pop outside of the guys who play it.

real big brain hours in here

but yeah roz is garbage, i'm not not investing my time into anything with boxing, at least the SICK and DEPRAVED minds of those like Tune are going to box on a red99 server they have to at least have the common decency to pretend like they're waking up their little brother to log on their druid.

red 2.0 is gonna be LIT in 2033.

[Kohedron]

Is the 2.0 referring to the number of real players on RoZ?

92 people divided by boxes and subtract logins playing week 3 of RoZ. What will week 4 and 5 bring? Obviously higher pop if you click that super intense pvp link.

LOL

[Mingo]

RoZ servers are pretty easy to figure out. The management/Dev team have fragile egos and abuse their power wantonly. Renly is likely to have his feelings hurt if you dont compliment him. Burt is likely to flex on you if his mountain dew rush is wearing off. Jeremy is likely to change the code punitively on a whim.

If you want to play EQ PVP it is your option.

Red99 2.0 is unlikely to ever happen but the chances that RoZ is a viable PVP server is probably more remote than the Red99 2.0 fever dream.

[quido]

Harsh words from a guy who left 1.0 in a fit of rage deleting items off his friends' accounts. At least we know the immersion was good enough to provoke that :)

You're hopeless Jeremy. You're the one here thirsty to promote your own server and thirsty for population when the 3 biggest strikes against RoZ are You, Skeeter and Renly. You're too involved in the trolling and community which is case in point with your post here.

As a developer/GM you lack objectivity and you become involved in drama, trolling and false information constantly.

Case in point:

I didn't delete a single item on RoZ on anyone else's account. I assume you're referring to Shody's mage. RoZ is a binary server, Shody got a mage epic with our guild, left the next week to power level himself a Beastlord for the opposition. I deleted the epic mage. It may have been petulant but i knew Renly would restore the mage, it was merely so he would be delayed in his power leveling.

Last week you were accusing Firenze of using MQ on S1 in Discord and publically claimed that his own guild had been asking him to stop cheating. S1 RoZ had public bans for cheating, you never suspended him, yet you'll slander him publically when your feelings are hurt when he's bashing your experience rates?

The thing is, you're a thin skinned child and your project is affected by your easily bruised ego. I'm sorry you're thirsty for population and you've alienated what few people might be likely to play in your sand box.

[Tassador]

In case anyone was thinking of playing RoZ there is currently 120 players on with 2 boxing minus login and shenanigans to the lite power.

[Nirgon]

Lol it's not true but I did it

Played with the guy for almost a decade. Decides to completely obscure the timeline to make it seem like elf justice was served. I didn't even leave Catalyst until Metroid said Catalyst was done and I didn't want to play under new leadership. Was nice knowing you Lewis, very glad I never have to play with sociopaths like yourself ever again.


Big Shody

[Tassador]

108 on now. Server pretty thriving I think. Might join all the fun after the New Years. Will see strong numbers tho! I thought I would be playing with the same people again. I was wrong and now can admit that.

Wow 108/2 - login. You guys did it!

Big Shody

Ooof. Big Shody, can you confirm or deny that Jeremy scanned your computer and then made public your browsing history and some of your personal information and mocked you infront of the community in the RoZ discord? That happened outside of Norrath.

Meanwhile inside of Norrath, your feelings were hurt over Elf Justice. If not being able to box your magician for 2 days has caused you this much pain i'm not sure what to tell you; Sorry pal, you may be a little too fragile for the internet.

[Tassador]

Anyone wondering why pop is 8 guys 5 boxing? Loving it!!! RoZ guys can kindly exit until 3.0 hype.

[Zemgus]

call of duty everquest is what it is, fun in small doses.

[kotton05]

Wasn’t shoddy the one who got ousted for havin a key logger to spy on his wife?

[quido]

It's a shame that some people can't separate my personal troll commentary from my commentary in an official capacity for our project. I guess when you're a veritable crazy (or stupid) person there's no good point in making such a distinction.

I don't think we're thirsty for pop. We have a pretty solid pop currently and if we build it, they will continue to come. Most of my remarks here regarding RoZ are simply either to counter-troll or to set the record straight on the good things we are doing.

Rise of Zek 2.0 is the most popular Everquest PVP server in the world!

[Mingo]

Wasn’t shoddy the one who got ousted for havin a key logger to spy on his wife?

Yeah. Jeremy used RoZ's anti-cheat to scan Shody's computer and then publically embarrassed him by inquiring why he had a key-logger. Then i think there was a discussion about Shody's ex being unfaithful and everyone made fun of Shody for being a cuckold.

You know, completely cool, normal, intelligent, and sane behavior for a server admin to do... Where do i download that RoZ install pack again, anyone have the URL?

[quido]

Incorrect. Do you think the reason you remember that course of events in the most damning light possible is a function of your own personal defect? Or was it something RoZ staff did?

I never scanned anyone (nor am I able to). I overheard Shody discussing his keylogger with someone, and I called him out with my own worst possible assumption at a time he was being particularly vicious to me. My assumption turned out to be correct, and I felt really bad about it and apologized. I think Shody and I long ago moved past it and reached a cordial understanding.

I acknowledge that I'm retarded - you basically need to be to try to enter the EQ development world, especially the EQPVP development world. It's not in dispute, and it's partially what makes our project so good. We're doing great work, and some day our EQPVP universe will be second to none.

We can and will do better every day, Lewis.

[quido]

:confused:

[White_knight]

Hmm, attacking someone for spending their free time creating a place for you to come play on is a low blow.

Sure, Jermey has his oddities, but it's straight up spastic to attack him over his works to help bring people a place to play EQ PvP.

[kotton05]

There is no safe space

[Tassador]

Well he is posting on the wrong project forum for pras for his shit server. By the way fatso you were 2-14 in pvp after 2 years with Jeremy not recording that nonsense LOL. Loser in eq I am sure you’re a killer irl ;)

[nottitanuk]

i wish red99 was as cool as RoZ

a real classic server that doesn't overtune velious content to make up for 4 years of kunark and force zergs .

Hi Tass,

You played a wizard and somewhere along the line you got your knickers in a twist thinking you were good at this game by pressing two buttons from 1000 z-loc.

If you were any good at this game you would have tried to translate your ability to other classes; i.e like Blueflower, or even Salem who could pick up most classes and function/excel with them.

But no, instead you tucked tail the moment wizards became less powerful in Velious and quit... and here is why:

Your capacity as an EQ player never exceeded pressing two buttons on a class from the safety of 1000 z-loc, or fighting people from the safety of groups. This is why you haunt these forums years later because you were never truely satisfied as an EverQuest player. To you EQ will always be some 2 button class that nukes a few times with a few other caster classes in support/assist then gates off to safety

Your ego/self image is so attached to this concept you're good at this game because I think you got to 60ish kills on a wizard (lol)...but news flash...

There were way better wizards than you both in "skill" and K/D... people dont even remember you that is how irrelevant you were on your wizard on the scale of things and how many other players used wizards as an easy killing class. People's port bot wizards had better K/Ds than your main (lol).

Enjoy haunting these forums for the next years as you carry on repeating the same 2-3 things over and over as everyone else has literally moved on, both in EQ terms and in their lives.

Ciao for now.

That’s your opinion and I value it as much as your bitcoins pops. Swish is a garbage player and poster this is not an attack on his personal character just my feelings on his game play and posting.

111 bodies/2 on RoZ right now man. You on it’s popping with the many pvp targets.

lulz

[nottitanuk]

110 more than red99 , thanks for checking the #s for us

[Tassador]

I guess it makes the server good that there is more people playing than red but it’s actually maybe 50 users lol. And everytime you post I will remind people what a failure that server is for the lulz :)

[Uuruk]

I'm 4 boxing

[nottitanuk]

12boxing here , probably more like 30activr players

[Tassador]

So dead roz

[nottitanuk]

Just an update, server is doing great . Active gms that help and fix problems - steady population to play with / against .. great job renly Jeremy Burt

[Nirgon]

Bunch of ingrates who got the PVP box they asked for

[nottitanuk]

Can’t wait to play in planes of power on a pvp servers . Renly making emu history that red could never achieve

[Tassador]

Can’t wait for that to happen for you and the other 30 people playing as well on RoZ. Glad you’re having fun but my point from the beginning was no one was going to play besides the same people and it’s basically dead99 with crappy server codes. I was not wrong but thanks for the updates of your fun. Unfortunately it does not bring people to play on Junkboxes.

[nottitanuk]

Thanks for the support pal , we appreciate your concern and will be having fun with the 200+ population that we do have . Just glad I’m not stuck playing on a velious locked non-classic server.

[Tassador]

So RoZ has a 200 pop? I guess we now know who the real troll is lol. Dude if you all hit 200 I haven’t seen it and you have boxes. You’re right about red but been saying your pop and server is shit but you have nothing but opinions not facts to come back with. Fact is there is not a 200 player pop average on RoZ no where near that. 40 average pop boxing is more like it. That’s the fact :)

[nottitanuk]

I don’t even play on the server , I just enjoy laughing at people like you who get upset when others are having fun . Stay salty pal and gl on ur red99 forum career , this is getting old so Imma let you keep doing you :)

[Tassador]

well you didn’t make any sense anyways and I am undefeated pops :)

[Swish]

So RoZ has a 200 pop? I guess we now know who the real troll is lol. Dude if you all hit 200 I haven’t seen it and you have boxes. You’re right about red but been saying your pop and server is shit but you have nothing but opinions not facts to come back with. Fact is there is not a 200 player pop average on RoZ no where near that. 40 average pop boxing is more like it. That’s the fact :)

✔ Retired years ago
✔ Still mad

[Tassador]

Never retired from a video game but you can ride the mad train. Either way you’re not entertaining that’s my point. You at least read my shit kiddo. Never reading your shit lol

I think i see what you did there Salty. That's a compiled complete database query of the characterbrowser? As the program owner can you query in real time? Clearly the GoogleDoc is updated periodically but does the program operate in real time? It's much more efficient to do that as opposed to manually refresh everyone's character page.

I could see how that would be a nice advantage, hypothetically speaking, you're PVPing in Plane of Fear and a guild loots two AoNs and has them looted on a character. You would know which character immediately without having to search for "Destroy." I can see how that would come in handy.:D

I don't scrape realtime.

I could implement it on a webserver to scrape the info into a database and then feed it to the report or Google Sheets to the report.

I just use this, was quick and easy: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-scraper/jnhgnonknehpejjnehehllkliplmbmhn?hl=en

Not sure what the point of this is Salty, but quick scan seems to show user names and inventory possible identifying info.

Not allowing it.

If I lived in my mammas basement this would have been a fun server, but sorry I can't justify spending 100 hrs grinding the grind I've done 50 times before on an empty box.

Server review by Stasis = FAIL.

What a creative response! Did you just move out? All you gotta say is... I have twin boy's and I live in a socialist country. I don't have the time.

Just tip the cap to the people that put there free time into a game we all love. Is that so hard? You've played on emptier boxes!? A easy goal for you in 2020 stop lying! What you do in moderation your kids will do in excess.

As we speak 150 people online during the national championship football game.

[Tassador]

boxes are also people!

[Stasis01]

I have more time off than a teacher, I just think this box is a waste of time with no return on investment.

When the box is like 300 pop because it's so popular I'll return because you guys have proven me wrong!

I tip my cap to you good sir, but I'm walking.

[Stasis01]

Day 1 Red99 where we are given a 50 and some basic gear and I came out on top?

Sry I don't want to spend an unreasonable amount of time boxing myself up to show the stale no lifer crowd how to ball.

I guess this is aimed at the crowd of people that have lots of free time and like mindless grinding, because it gives them an advantage in an open world game - maybe helps their ego/they think they're good that way?

U aren't.

[Stasis01]

We're not offering the same product R99 is, nor are we trying to. Rise of Zek is for the more hardcore-oriented player looking for a true sandbox experience.
Best wishes, friend.


Skill-less no lifer = hardcore-oriented player

How do the top players reach level cap in a few hours when it's raised? :confused:

[Stasis01]

Probably bard swarm themselves,

I found between grouped and solo on my mage, even with good groups it was faster solo.

I played for like 3 days, 8 hrsish each day and got lvl 30, and I fucking hate mages. My melee will probably be like twice that.

Or I bard swarm myself.. pass pass pass pass.

Don't take my forum questing seriously, I actually like you and hope it does well, if the consensus of the virgin council is big grind, so they can bard swarm themselves and feel pro when I just want to roll a melee and get into the big leagues asap, then so be it but I'll be outspoken like I am and sit this one out.

[Tassador]

108 persons/boxes on right now. TaHriVeInG. Just wait to the super bowl just like national championship game they log in to the server in droves.

Dentists still the big dawgs of RoZ?

[Stasis01]

does not want to play , plays 24 hours LOL

I do want to play but the grind griefed me off.

Camping items can be fun and PVP over camps, even that should be made slightly easier/more common so people can fight back.

But if you enjoy the EXP grind of Everquest, in 2020, you're probably a retard. Samwise, Rushmore etc.

[Stasis01]

I played last season on launch too, exp rate is easy, i hit 30 fast, a day or something.

Everything is great, I go to camp an RBF because what else can u do at 30, I kill the squire like 30 times they made the RBF extra rare...

Then I have to wait a week to get 35, then a week to get 40...

The hype and excitement is BEYOND faded at this point and I log off for good.

These guys just make decisions that would kill any EMU box.

[Stasis01]

Fast exp, no level cap, faster drop rate in planes/world camps (so people can gear people up to fight for their crew) and watch people dabble and have some fun with multiple crews. Work on resists, hit rate, pathing, etc.

Design it for the few degenerates who live and breathe this shit, and all youll have are the same degenerates who live this shit.

You literally sat in cb for weeks and griefed level 10s and quit the server.

[kotton05]

They ruined 1.0 by making things super rare then all the sudden just making them super common. At least this time they kept xp the same so far.

I agree on these boxes they shouldn’t make things super rare so you’re not forced into being a bluebie faygate. Still not a bad time just don’t be to vested they seem to be catering away from the dentists as well with xp caps. I like the caps.

[Tassador]

146 players/boxes on right now. You all are missing a heavily populated eq server!

Rick misses RoZ

Most of these people say they want PvP

They just want the classic content with the option to PVP for camps

You act like you don’t use PvP to solve PvE problems. The thought of a list makes me puke.
