There's a very high chance

[Secrets]

That I may be bringing back the VZTZ server (Garage Box v1 Daxum Edition, Pre-Voidd) myself tonight.

It's not red99, no, not by any stretch of the imagination. But what it is, is EQ PVP without some stupid system added. You guys wanted a form of classic PVP, you got it.

Some things to note:

*Null's resist system is in
*Melee is adjusted to be exactly like VZTZ
*The exp rate is not horrid, I want people to get into the action as fast as possible but still give some incentive to group. (1.6 rate)
*It's hosted on a pretty good dedicated box.
*All the fixes and features of EQEmulator are in. If it gets popular I will finish my anti-cheat and add that in too. The anti-cheat will be REQUIRED to play.
* Titanium is REQUIRED right now to play. SoD/SoF/HoT/Underfoot/6.2/Anniversary/Live will *not* work
* It's bound to be buggy. If a crash issue arises, I have ways of fixing them.
* PVP loot is exactly like it was during VZTZ.
* If the playerbase demands classic, it will stay classic.
* Level cap of 50 at all times, classic zones initially during the testing phase. I want to do something custom content, but still in the mindset of classic. If the playerbase demands it, though, Kunark will be finished.
* The database is VZTZ. It's not PEQ, it's not P1999, it's VZTZ's release modified to work with 0.8.0 EQEmulator.
* 1 box limit. I find that boxing 6 characters in PVP ruins the fuck out of things.
* Spellfile is VZTZ's spellfile. If you have the p1999 spellfile, god help you

It may happen today, but if it doesn't it will happen soon. I want to give this community a test whirl and *maybe* get a chance at developing Red99. I doubt the latter will happen though.

The server won't be on the green list, however, it'll be on the whitelist. If I get the go-ahead from Rogean i'll switch it to green provided the population and eqemu devs agree with it.

The reasoning behind all of this? You guys are begging for a home for over 2 months now and have no home. I want that to change. Let's be pals, okay?

I figured it out bros. Chuckles lvl 1 clr has been born as well

[fiegi]

I can now play on both the new vztz and kings and bandits. Could life be any better right now for me??

[Lazortag]

Merchants aren't correctly itemized, so Bards basically can't start in Qeynos because they can't get any of their spells. No point in playing if I have to start out in Gfay as some pansy wood elf.

[Knuckle]

secrets is in game petition bugs hes fixing them pretty quick.

[Slashurr]

jack off break!

[eastadam55]

Did the server just go down? Because I can't get back in.

[Knuckle]

Server is pretty cool, small pop but lots of big names have been visible.

that was fast. my break that is.

How do I get the old eqgame file Chuck?

I want to play both vztz and k&b

Btw Searyx, I play on Crossover Games and the game runs great

[Jong]

i too need the old eqgame file

halp

[Pudge]

didn't voidd give rogean everything? like, EVERYTHING he had, so the server could continue as it was? why not ask him for the code, and then run that, but as a fresh start (none of our old chars). and no boxing. and slow exp.

except.. wtf is red99 i think it would be better still. o well. wont be able to play for another 3 or 4 weeks anyway. have fun bros

still wanting a red99 though. if it came out you know everyone would jump ship :P

i was going to play, then i realized it would have been the third server in a month i played on and that i have no interest in leveling/gearing again, maybe in 2 weeks or so ill hop on the next 10 day long pvp server vying to suck half of the 40 eqemu pvpers away from whatever server their currently on.

This box has over 50-60 people one boxxing at a time, lots of big names, feels like vztz

[lethdar]

Big ballers owning guards to 50, deja vu to vztz 3.0

[Rust1d?]

How long will this box last before people get fed up and move back to K&B? It is nice to see a real 50-60 people playing. I think we need at least 100 to make this box even close to old VZ/TZ. Just no boxing, 1 char per IP.

My issue is how long before someone hacks and the server needs wiped?

What big Knuckle said bros. K&B is shit and I would feel the same way even if I didn't get banned there. Secrets VZTZ reincarnation is a good fix as long as he keeps it running, works on bugs and gives the players a forum to use.

First night 50+ players all single box, lots of yellow texting. Plus it's classic with no bullshit custom elements thrown in and the xp rate feels pretty good, not too fast but not as slow as classic was.

NO MOAR WAITING FOR THE REDHERRING99 GET ON THE BOX BRO'S


P.S. Secrets if you do actually know who I am <3 for no banz, otherwise lol at trying to bait me into telling you :)

[Nirgon]

Now comes the part where you decide if you want the pop to grow. Reports any bugs/exploits you can muster. If you want it to grow and go main stream or even get Big Secrets his title shot for devving 99red, you will have to want this to survive and be legit.

I'm 50-50 here on you guys doing that.

Might also need Big Rojay to come in and help you with some of the more classic elements, quests, ac/hit calcs on NPCs... would be awesome if he did.

Not a troll my man. Just wondering if this is vztz 4.0 set in stone, or if there's any consideration on implementing community ideas. Hot zones are fun for PvP.

For some of you, I'm sure it will be like that Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life". Except unlike that movie, you being born makes everything horrible. Have fun ruining another box and your chance at having a legit EQ pvp-emu.

when i get back to char select and enter world i get disconnected 9,000,000,000,000,000 times and can no longer get in da game.
EDIT
upon waiting about 10 minutes i got back in

[Bardalicious]

The insta-disconnect upon selecting your character and trying to enter world is from the anti-box coding. Kinda sux frans but you gotta wait a good 5-10 mins or something.

You have a completely fresh-from-install copy of Titanium and the spell file Secrets linked to? And u haven't accidentally patched everquest a.k.a. ur using the shortcut to eqgame.exe with the patchme argument inserted? Also you are using the actual Titanium release installation and not the EQLite custom installation that's been floating around right?

I would be happier if the level range was kept in, but the guild v. guild FFA was removed, I hate fighting the same 10 people that belong to the same guild structure over and over again.

2. horrible at gming, or would be if were one.
3. get owned by macken.
4. hate macken.
5. post half-naked pictures on men's gaming forums to get dates.
6. BIG hackers.

You two could start another 5th or 6th best guild dynasty on this new box.

At least until everyone levels above 30.

Searyx has no intention of actually being good. He just wants the image of being good so people will treat him like he is.

Guessing he is prolly more like 5-3.

(Not trying to rag Secrets in any way, guy is a stud for the effort and work he puts into the EQ EMU community. Just want legit box.).

Oh Knuckle, can you rig up internet tethering for my iphone at your AT&T kiosk in the mall? No point in single boxing with 50ppl on server, FFA pvp, and 15 of those 30 already boxing.

[Bardalicious]

Just wondering, of all the things to complain about with the box why the xp rate? Yeah it's kinda high but it also encourages people to play anything but solo classes on such a small starting pop.

Also, classic slow-as-balls xp + legal training + hell levels = fuck life imo.

You mad, bro? Root definitely works. The sample size was a bit small. See, you having to zone in 10 seconds before getting raped doesn't equate to many pet roots. Plus, I had 110 MR.

Hi I used to play on the VZTZ server in it's first edition(assuming 1.0) in Nature's Fury. I remember some of you guys vaguely, mainly just Knuckle and Xantille though. Is this server anything like VZTZ was back then, or would reinstalling EQ be a waste of my time?

[nalkin]

So is this server gonna die or what? I want to play it cause its fun, but not if its gonna be dead in 3 weeks.

Ya pet root works good. Was rooted 3 times by a pet, didnt even get a debuff icon, killed the mage. lol.

- Bolt spells (mage) nerfed by 20-35% depending on level

- Wiz crit chance nerf'd from 7% to 2%

- Tradeskills imported from PEQ (sans overpowered shit)

- Crash debugging is now possible

- Erudin porter is fix'd

Never played on VZTZ emu before so I can't compare, but it's worth installing again to play here imo. Lotta yellow text every day, more than I can say for some emu pvp servers lately. Plus it has the classic EQ thing going on, minus the intense xp grind. Obv. some bugs still but big Secrets is working them out pretty fast for doing this solo.

Population of around 50ish at primetime I think?? Hopefully when we have forums and such and people start to realize it's not going anywhere + R99 probably isn't coming out it'll spike higher.

If comet is doing 1110 (1120 at 50) and conflag is doing 614 (i think, not 900 like live) that should be fine. It's not about "balanced" for me :P and I play a wizard.

[SearyxTZ]

It's not the 1120 damage version here.


It's exactly the same dmg as Conflaguration - just more mana efficient.

[Nirgon]

Well what in the hell, fix that and take the crits out.

That's fine, I never two boxed anyway. I usually played with my paladin friend Leth, but I'm not sure if he's interested in playing again. I'll look into it sometime soon though. This is super exciting; I had a lot of fun with you guys those three years ago.

Can you put the Temple of Solusek Ro zone in the game? I tried to enter it and it just dropped me from the sky in Lavastorm.

[Xantille]

A few things, Secrets pal:

1) Is pre-nerf Guise dropping? Inquiring trolls need 2 know

2) Armor/robes all show up as white, default. i.e. I have bronze greaves that look like steel all the time

3) Temple of Sol Ro isn't working. Not sure if this is intended or not, lots of 'non-classic' quests there.

It didn't sound to me like he was bragging. Depending on where you live (cost of living), 50k/year is more than enough to live off of comfortably. Obviously so if he has a decent house and has the luxury to play video games to his hearts content.

One of the funniest parts about making fun of all the monks i slayed so easily: wehrmacht, searyx, buhbuh etc.... is that they are all now trying to play a wizard because i embarrassed them and i make it look so easy.

[lethdar]

Doubt you've ran into geared out melees to be able to accurately judge the results of the 75% nerf.

Melees owned the shit out of guild pvp at the end of vztz 2.0 old world once they had resists. Only droolcups like mippo and others thought otherwise.

[SearyxTZ]

knuckle melee do 80% in pvp atm - that is what I'm referring to



it might be totally fine. I'm not sure. I know on live it was 100% for melee and either 66 or 75% for casters, but the formulas are of course not the same here as they were there

[Buhbuh]

Yeah, but you have to remember that the melee system was way fucked up on those emu servers. The only original melee system from classic is on P99. I'm not discounting the protest, just that the melee was pretty damn crazy back on TZ/VZ.

But so were resists, so...

[Knuckle]

you should log in before offering an opinion on this servers code.

[Buhbuh]

you should log in before offering an opinion on this servers code.

Nah, I can judge it pretty fairly without doing that. I'm sure you can agree that the root of the problem is rarely fixed on the PvP emu's. Mitigation of the same melee system isn't a fix (I'm not criticizing the dev's. I'm sure it's a difficult task to do). It might help to mitigate, but its still wacky to a certain extent. TZ/VZ had warriors crippling for 1700 with a 30 dmg wep. Rangers were bullshit, mages--same.

I will admit it was still fun, though =p.

[Knuckle]

thats not the code thats in place here, melee damage isnt nearly that high.

As I've suggested all long, you need to stop looking at the flawed program as a preventive measure to passive hacking. Rather, look for the program(s) exploiting it. Punkbuster style system comes to mind.

Just as there's always a way to prevent it, so is there a way to bypass. However, something of that sort would stop 95% of the script kiddy-style MQ users from using it.

[freakyuno]

When I was working on putting a classic PvP server up, I actually wrote my own patcher that connected to my server, did a binary bitwise comparison on the files in the EQ directory and compared them to versions I kept on the server to make sure they were the same, the was used to launch EQ after the check was done. After launching EQ it stayed resident in memory and monitored the EQ memory space.

Neither MQ nor MySeq is passive, the only truly passive cheating program out there was ShowEQ when it was run correctly under linux, with a true hub.

It was relativly easy to detect things like hooks into EQ's addressing, packet injection, memory space injection, that type of thing. It authenticated with a web server I had up, and remained connected for the duration of the gameplay session. If at any time it disconnected, I terminated the connection to the EQ session.

Then I got into project 99, and the VZTZ servers, and kind of put the whole project down, cause it was a lot of friggin work for what was probably going to be a no-population server.

If it gives you some sort of satisfaction to keep stating what amounts to "I told you so, I told you so!!" by repeating the same thing over and over on an internet message board, you should probably re-evaluate your life.

Plenty of people hacking on P99 and every other blue server. Only difference is they get caught less often because they aren't using it directly against another player.

I've talked with them before about contributing, and rightly so...they aren't really interested.

From what I gather, they've got all hands on deck to keep pushing out bugs, fixing content, and keep things moving forward. Taking time away from that to integrate code they have no knowledge of, into code I wrote with no knowledge of what they have, would be a big pain.

They've got the talent to throw something together from scratch like this in a mater of a couple of weeks if they wanted to.

The xp rate is double what P99 is for soloing. The group xp rate is higher. You can get to 50 within about a week of casual play depending on your efficiency and what class you pick.
