Hosting A VZ/TZ Box

[Zahovoon]

Willing to host the Box indefinitely if it is active, if it is not I'll work on it till I get bored and leave it for a bit and re-try. Red99 is dead, ROT is garbage. Most of the hard stuff (Leaderboard, PVP melee source code changes, spells, YT, Classic Animations) is already done and I have it permanently.

+ / - 4 Level Range

FFA

2 Box

Kunark

4x EXP

Leaderboard

YT

Legacy Items are In

Nothing custom, everything tuned to Red99, Resists, Melee Code, Spells.

Everything Classic. Skeletons, Spell Cast Animations, Wolves, Snakes, Items, content.

[Zahovoon]

Everything freshly wiped and clean as of today July 1 / 2025.

[Zahovoon]

Birdop can you please remove your shit box from the list, you drunken fool. Thanks.

1.0 Inny with loot table + epic, no Mini Bosses. Inny spawns at the top of the Ramp and Patrols ideal for PVP and Classic.

Loot is I think ideal, not too rare and not too common. I will test my Box against the most beardiest of beards bring it.

Hands off GMing, that goes with Quests, unless it was broken and I can verify it doesn't work I guess. PvP, Corpse Camping, Griefing, Training, Free Speech.

Sand box.

[Zahovoon]

I also won't play unless it's under the name Gaanon or Stasis and it will be obvious. Truthfully I'm old and shitty anyway miss most of my jousts, chatfont 5.

EQEMU PvP is a 3 pronged war. First you have Red99, population 30. Undying, rotting, empty. Second you have ROT PVPINO(PVP IN NAME ONLY), PVE grind, 3% a kill lvl 1, TAKP bluebies, Custom content, feels like garbage 70 populationish. Third Too many shitty boxes, people have no faith anymore, it's been too many years since Live they don't remember how fun it could be. Red99, the endless ROT failures, and it just getting old.

[Zahovoon]

And I promise you, the ether I shout into, I will out last them all.

[Darlore]

I would play solely for the pre-nerf OOT.

Crowns. I need my crowns.

[Zahovoon]

Everything is fine tuned to the proper way it should be, it's truly the best PVP box since Red99, and it isn't even close.

Mana stone, Guise, Pre Nerf Fungi Staff, Pre Nerf COS. Not sure if the Trak Monk thing is in not sure if it should be, no Bowquest, no gay Velious PVE, 2 box.

It's not one thing, you play ROT, the current ROT, there's mages at the Nek spire, there's the new Orc camps and wayfarer tents. It's like out of the box total pile of shit lol. Then the mechanics are all fucked and it plays like some 2005 EMU shit.

Ours? The current model of PEQ runs as good as Red.

- Thoughts from the Dev

[Zahovoon]

Other thoughts for end-game PVP is I will implement Variance which is easy to do in the DB, to make essentially PVP windows for end game mobs. One of the major flaws of Red was no variance, all mobs dying on schedule, Their argument, show up and PVP. In reality it doesn't work that way one guild is usually stronger. Variance will enhance end-game Kunark world PVP.

- Thoughts from the Dev

[Zahovoon]

I played Tallon zek for probably the entire glory days 4 years up until Luclin or whatever then fell off. I played the first EMU's like Devnoob/Images Guildwars, and weird Kings and Bandits. I won the one that had Harney, Touch, Harrison, some old TZ PDM names. I played a couple of the VZTZ boxes but missed the real good ones apparently.

This Box will stand the test of time. This is the foundation of a future EQ PVP ecosystem that has not been seen since the release of Red99, when I won the Qeynos Hills BETA PvP event.

You guys are not optimistic enough about the future of EQEMU PVP. Do you know how good things can be with a proper GM and Dev team? I also have a coding tech guy if the population starts building and we want something changed.

[Zahovoon]

- No Downloads, no Spyware, no "Anti Cheat" program to download. If I can witness anyone hacking they will get banned easy enough that being said when Burgerking accused Nizzar of hacking I defended him and figured out Burgerking was a retard and it was the broken Earth Pets. MQ maps are probably unavoidable if you can't avoid it on Red for select nerds like Tune.

Just a Titanium Client / P99 Patch and you can load into "A VZ/TZ Box" and play, it's that easy!

[shovelquest]

Do you have an ELI5 instruct ions on how to like, install it?

[Zahovoon]

Deport.

[Zahovoon]

Main thing I've found so far is End-Game Kunark drop spells seem to be non-existent on Seb Emp, any of the world dragons, or the Cliff Golem/Ancient Wurm so I need to find a Kunark Spell loot table and start adding to that to Kunark Mobs.

[Zahovoon]

Summoned some Epics and they're all cloth chokers, just an easy DB fix icon change, the stats and everything else seem good on them maybe I'll do a runthrough on one later.

[Zahovoon]

https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33865

Full list of someone with my exact issue, and the corresponding Epic item ID's. The EQEMU community is really what made this box possible and anyone can do it if they have the drive and my high iq.

[Zahovoon]

And big TAKP comes through with a Kunark Spells 59-60 drop table. I'll have to take some time and make sure the appropriate mobs have that table added and do some research.

[Zahovoon]

Have you all forgotten?

Last one for a bit taking a break just a few of the features. That's combat for 60 war with epic, rogue with lvl 60/skills and just a ragebringer. YT/Leaderboard appears functional.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/m2cCdznT/Corpsesummoner.png (https://postimg.cc/xc2X8CYZ)

Sorry sorry real last one then I'm off for a bit. The only custom feature I have in-game, well two of them in the same area. Research Spells because they will be broken I think? And Corpse Summoning.

One is a Corpse Summoner, the other one buries your corpse, so you don't have to wait for it to rot. Anytime you want you can retrieve your corpse in EC, to prevent people from getting bugged out and losing their body and needing me to help them. GM's normally do it I automated it whatever.

[Zuranthium]

The only custom feature I have in-game

Needs more custom to have a good game.

Resists and most of the spells in game should be changed. Resists should cause a % decrease to the effectiveness of a spell, rather than creating an All-Or-Nothing scenario and invalidating the majority of spells as soon as people get decent gear. Roots/snares should be very short duration and have recharge times so they can't just be spammed by a single player. Clerics should be all about casting in-combat protection spells that require field awareness and positioning for maximum effectiveness. Most buffs should be short duration.

Auto-follow and weapon swapping hotkeys for melee combat.

And no 2-boxing allowed.

[Zahovoon]

Everything spell resist value wise is taken straight from Red and will be the base line of "Classic" which we will adhere to strictly.

2 Box is Classic I 2 boxed to 60 in the Hole on Live Shaman/War. I don't understand that other than you don't want Box armies, so I made it 2 which was basically the limit of what computers could handle back then.

Everything will be in alignment with Red as the model for classic, I might have to add sow indoors someday maybe not but that'd be the first thing I'd go for. I will most likely adhere as a strict Brad's vision loyalist like Rogean(BOWQUEST).

[Zuranthium]

No point playing there then. Let me know if you want help making an actual good server.

[Zahovoon]

The real next problems would be zone / PVP limitations. I mean it's a designated PC with an ethernet cord, those fucking data centers suck my ass I tried one for fun it was total laggy dog shit. That being said I'm not sure if this PC can handle it. 30-40 people in a zone ETC. I really don't know how it will handle it.

[Zahovoon]

No point playing there then. Let me know if you want help making an actual good server.

I'm a bit of a wizard myself.

[Zahovoon]

If you want Stasis the retard to buy a new box come play A VZ/TZ box and make it lag out so I buy a new PC. Skies the limit, up to a few k.

[Zahovoon]

I removed the Fine Steel weapon loot table from Blackburrow, and removed the new custom blackburrow hide armor I forget the name. Both of which were future expansions. I did that in Guk CB and Mistmoore actually, for the lower end mobs.

[Zahovoon]

I fixed every zone line to be optimized for PVP, no coming in at a 60 degree angle upside down facing the zone line, going back and forth shouting fuck sakes.

[Zahovoon]

I'd post some skeletons but I have FP vision on and can't if anyone else could that'd be great, I also have name plate and hit box for skelly form? I'm not sure, but it's not pants on head retarded like Red 100 skeletons running around no one has a fucking clue what's happening rofl that's peak retardation holy fuck. I go back and watch a kunark video and cant literally tell who one single person is a bunch of no name skeletons lol. I remember one time I was on Danak the one time Az beat Nihi I was epic maged on poop mountain just sending my pet and nuking kids down it was probably 10x more effective than a melee.

Also hit box will be on the older side of things not fucking colgates dick.

[Duik]

Im, so, ronery. So ronery and very rarone.

[Zahovoon]

You misunderstand me I don't care about people.

I just can't play on shitty boxes so I made my own. Red99 is Bowquest it's like a shitty old mans FPS. Nothing like EQPVP actually, and with the amount of windies around now the PVP is completely disfigured.

ROT is dead, I don't think any of the older PVPers even play there, it's just TAKP bluebies and the druggies, endless grinding, I'm not sure it's like the iron curtain but I think it's basically dead. If anyone spends the 200 hours to grind a toon to 60 on ROT with titltes, the nexus, pvp points I think you're probably low IQ.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/ryrqqVWj/Halflinglove.png (https://postimg.cc/Dmn9gKx4)

You get Max HP on each level up and for the lower levels with 4x it's one/two kills per level then full heal. Feels good looks good I am going to level up legit and try to do some content. It feels immersive in the character building but not overburdening. This is the final product, contents good enough. Last time I tried this I had no CT, No Lavastorm, No Leaderboard or classic animations, no YT, tons of unclassic structures and items and augments. All content reverted, I didn't have 1.0 Droga, the PVP melee source code was fucked. All of this has been fixed.

Really TAKP and Bamzal were the big break throughs and this is officially what I'd call Early Access Launch. VP is not done, The Hole is not done, I still need to test how everything runs and need to see what kind of set up I need for bigger populations.

[gangsta]

Isnt this like the 30th time you've tried this

[Zahovoon]

Stop lowballing me boy.

[Zahovoon]

I played ROT btw, the two new ones Dragon whatever and real ROT.

DDDDDDDDDOGGGGGSHIT

[Zahovoon]

I am genuinely sorry about the racist spam on the box and shitting up ur guild pal, I was dealing with some shit irl that I was pissed off about I can understand that in hind sight I was wrong.

[Duik]

Flagged as lonely/sad/mad.

[Zahovoon]

Adding spells to merchants in OT, I need to add 59-60 spells loot tables to those mobs, also need to verify that spells are dropping in the 51-58 range or w/e. Spells in general in Kunark need to be fixed.

Today is day of fixing the spells. i generally focus more on content and mechanics, and we were using the instant 60/spells script b4 so now that it's a legit VZTZ box I need to go over all of that.

[Zahovoon]

No mobs in Kunark drop spells, 0, in any zone.

I think I can tackle this by looking at the TAKP Kunark spell drop loot tables, and just look up which mobs they applied them to. Actually if the mob ID's are the same it might be simple copy over but probably won't be that easy.

[Zahovoon]

OK so not that easy but still pretty easy. I copied the Lootdrop Entries, and the Lootdrop IDS over from TAKP clean, just pre deleted the out of content drops in their spot.

Copied them over from TAKP. Checked, the Loot Table ID's don't match with the same Loot Table ID's on PEQ so I'll just manually look up the mobs under the TAKP Loot tables write them down and add the spell loot tables to the proper synchronized mob id's.

[Zahovoon]

Bam 59-60s Spells are implemented will keep going on the lower ones.

Tola, Emp, world dragons, cliff golem, guardian wurm, ancient wyvern. Juggs, umm there was quite a few more, Chardok mobs Overking.

Will keep going on the lower end ones.

[Zahovoon]

I'll still have to go through each boss in a bit and fine tune it, drop rate for world dragons is the same as the farmable shit, I'll put the dragons at 100% maybe a couple spells or something like Red.

[Infectious]

Please keep us updated. Let's communicate else where. I will contact you.

[Zahovoon]

I will, but I am a school of Heartbrand, no Discord, no community building. It ruins the immersion for me, because once you hear half of these gremlins you don't want to be associated with them anymore, or at least for me.

Other people can make a Discord for my box, it's really the peoples box. Just no one is capable of making it like I did. You're welcome biznatch.

[Zahovoon]

I've spent a lot of time experimenting with the best way to level up and progress a character. I think this is the optimal end product for garage box. Basically, you kill 1-3 dark blues and level up. If you know what you're doing and have done it 100 times it can be done really quickly, or if you are a mage etc, but once you demonstrate you can handle the content you move on to harder content without grinding.

I think it's the optimal design for building and developing a toon without being given it freely without any work or progress such as with a 60 with a spell book etc. People starting that will not have an attachment to the character, might not even really know how to play it or do any of the end game content.

- Thoughts from the DEV

[Zahovoon]

I am brainstorming, and considering doing a population tiered HP reduction of end-game Kunark mobs.

32k hp is the standard Kunark dragon, maybe something like 15k like a King tranix if the box is Low Pop. Then scale it back to full if people start playing?

Something like

> 20 people 50% hp

> 60 people 75% hp

> 100 people 100% hp

[Zahovoon]

I'd really like to make it one groupable for the initial group lol. If there is 10 or under make it like 8K hp mobs. Add them to full value if people start playing, if no one does it'll be some weird one group box lol.

Either way for Garage Box I'll have to make the end game easier, at least to start.

Did Mistyt ill 17 or so, went to Highpass harmony killed some orcs, now to Befallen for a 2hander, eventually I may make a comic roleplay thread of my adventures showcasing the potential of my Box.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/wBDznt6S/Ancient-Dreams-in-a-Modern-Land.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Zahovoon]

Going through for feel good vibe testing today. Went to Befallen and for some reason the Troll Shadowknight is level 25 instead of 15, 1500 hp etc, so I reverted him to what he's supposed to be 15/475, bone bladed claymore drops 100%. 10 min zone timer.

Runnyeye I adjusted the warlord down to level 16, he can drop the Blackened Iron Bastard sword 20/47, I also removed the two elites from his room.

The orcs in Highpass drop the Shiny Brass Halberd at 100% if you can spawn him.

There's nothing I can really do for Halas/Qeynos area, I'm not going to lower Karg Icebear a lot or something.

There's easy to access lowbie weapons now that are functioning fine. Misty will flow right into Warlord/some gear a weapon. I might put the 1hnder on the warlord too actually. the 10/35 or whatever.

I am just maximizing flow state of levelling today spells need some work still but I'm too sober for DB grinding.

Very casual two days both toon 41, most of my plat went into Druid spells, War/Druid combo no GM assistance. Blackened Iron Bastard sword, Split paw mask and on to Specs.

[Zahovoon]

Level 40 was like 3-4 specs, then 2-3 each level, probably could do 39-49 or so in a couple hours if that. Prove I can handle the content, I have the spells/gear or whatever needed to handle level 40ish mobs and move on.

Not sitting here for 4 weeks to get through level 45 just to have your box shut down (Quarm), gotta be out of your fucking mind.

[SamwiseRed]

Bro what in the world is going in here?

[Zahovoon]

Still remember one shotting you zoning to Feerrot as my only encounter with you in EQ carry on lil Samwise from Ferris Buellers day off.

[Zahovoon]

But to answer your question, take this thread as my Everquest social media page, that I keep you updated on the best EMU on the list and our improvements, we are "Early Access" but not yet 100% finished product.

[Zahovoon]

But to clarify the best means I am not a complete custom TAKP source pile of shit like ROT, and I'm not, "single class PVP server fatty bower".

It really doesn't take much to be the best.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/8z6hk4jX/OOT.png (https://postimg.cc/HrTJBQ0b)

Wish u were here Cameron.

Also, do you want to know why ROT uses TAKP Source? It's because when they made all those shitty ROZ boxes they were using Guild Wars source or old image/devnoob garbage. So them upgrading was like I guess we'll go all in on TAKP, even though it runs and feels like shit.

CONCLUSION? They won't do what I did and make it from scratch ever. They can't, or they are unwilling to spend the time. You guys call me crazy like it's a bad thing.

[Zahovoon]

July 8 2025

- Hill Giants were out of whack, they had an extra 1k hp and their damage was 77-125 instead of 24-98, reverted to P99 values still feel strong like p99 2400 hp.
- Orc Lumberjacks removed in Misty.

[Zahovoon]

Not sure how it happened but all the Kunark spells were wiped off merchants, and Mobs loot tables. The out of box PEQ spell drop rates and merchant lists. I think when Bamzal reverted Spells to Classic that might have been an unintended consequence. I just fixed the Merchantlist spell lists, I remembered they worked before was confused. All Kunark Spell merchants are fixed.

I already put over all the TAKP Kunark Spell loot dropped tables (55+) so I will just adjust those, in a way it gives me a chance to really deep dick it and make everything reasonable for Garage Box, I'll start by making the Cliff Golem kind of the standard place to farm spells, as it is on Red, then add 2-3 guarenteed off dragons and work down from there.

[Zahovoon]

Not sure what I should put spells to % chance.

5% each? Base starting TAKP odds are 1% each. Yeah put them at 5, and they're already added to all the mobs that drop them so Juggs will have 5% each spell, Cliff golem 5% each spell, etc.

To make static ones on the world dragons I'll just have to make a different spell drop table with 100% chance 2 drop etc, I'll do that next.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/mZ9byZmn/Cliff-Golem.png (https://postimg.cc/qgkVkrVc)

Spells will be on the easier side of things, compared to Red. I think that's in line with our vision.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/y8cwStNM/COM.png (https://postimages.org/)

Root rotting basically in COM the war helps 10% maybe, each fog golem is 1 yellow in 53-54.

Day 3 or day 4 I can't remember, I wasted some time at Manastone and HBC neither dropped, one day I died to the troll shadowknight in Befallen and afkd for the rest of the day.

Ultra casual I'm still like cruising along 54 duo going to crush some exp for a bit then grind some gear.

I can buff/port anyone that wants to try on my druid, everything is l3git, I am anti PVP and caretaker of the dream.

[Zahovoon]

Was thinking about how I'll go about VP, and it really wouldn't be that hard. I think I can just go through and adjust the mobs stats to p99 stats, and adjust the loot tables to be right, and then just revert the items myself manually, instead of copying TAKP over and fixing their shit.

It's only like 8 mobs tbh, probably would take me a couple hours, then maybe run through on a rogue make sure it feels and operates right with Silverwing/Hoshkar etc.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/wxnbHz5h/Unrestreal.png (https://postimg.cc/QVkqkRyt)

Story time. I played ROT garbage box once. I was in POFear and Zechariah killed me with his gorilla pet, which is typical for his kind. Then I came back and tried to pell his pet and kill him etc on my druid. He cried to Titanuk and Gangsta immediately, I got called out and kinda had to stop. Then I went to a Hate raid. Zechariah was on his Wizard Narc or something, 0 deaths on the leaderboard. Gets resd into Hate I backstab him make a comment about being his 1st etc. Then later in Erudine our guild bind Gangsta comes to me on his warrior and says you're too abrasive etc we have decided to kick you, proceeds to kick me from the guild. The next 5 minutes I spend running in circles around him taking no damage just for fun. Then I say ok bye I guess, I run to kerra ridge. ZECHARIAH ASKS ME FOR HIS BLOODSTAINED MANTLE BACK thus proving stereotypes are 90% accurate. I start calling them faygates and stuff, Engelburt shows up in OOC and starts saying I'll be suspended lol. I call Engel a faygate, then decide to go full scorched earth and spam the word that will get you reprimanded by any boomer the N word. That ended my time on ROT.

And basically sums up my view on the box. The people who couldn't hang on Red99 made their own unloseable box with GM benefits. Which is fine I would play it's their home but it also sucks. The Red99 loser table who got their ass spanked by Nizzar. The real reason I can't stand Colgate or any of those phonies, I was there when they got their ass spread by Nizzar and will never forgive them for it. That may sound crazy but I just dislike phonies. I wouldn't like go out of my way to screw anyone over on my Box, this is the open competition box, I made sure of it myself. Not 1 single person can sabotage it, and I never would. It's my 5th baby.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/j2v1RnRv/Bereal.png (https://postimages.org/)

They had Terpentine or W/E on VZTZ being a pocket GM, got bitchslapped on Red99 by the Bluebie king Nizzar(Edit) #2 equal king Tune, then ran to their own box with Engelburt pocket GM. You know it, I know it.

[Zahovoon]

If anyone has any questions about the Game of Chickenbones Lore I can tell you. Also I am recruiting and looking for a tradeskill person. I have never done Tradeskills umm I just need someone to go on the merchants be like this whole batch is out of era, I'll look it up and delete it type thing.

Looking for a Tradeskill manager. There have been some buggy npcs in towns that spam weird emotes like digs up the ground and shit they're buggy lua scripts im going through and removing any of those just for immersion.

[Zahovoon]

Grimtoad was on my box, or an imposter Grimtoad and mentioned there was lots of out of era Alchemy in Grobb. It's been eating away at me so. I have never done it, and apparently everything is fucked. BUT I think I found a solution.

The one on the left is P99 the main alchemy merchant in Grobb, the one on the right is an Oggok Alchemy merchant on my box. So I only need to remove the out of era merchants and copy this loot table to the Grobb dude.

I have the exact p99 NPC Alchemy list in order. I also went and removed out of era mobs in Grobb and Oggok and Rathe MTS that human on the main stretch I got him Grimtoad I know that's the one you meant I ran past him a few times.

In another hour I will have 100% classic P99 Alchemy merchants.

How we started.

https://i.postimg.cc/ZRwWd3zX/Alchemyupdate2.png (https://postimg.cc/tZVR0sTz)

Removed out of era merchants and added the Classic one like the P99 list on the left above. I still have to fine tune the list which I'll do now, was easier than I thought I just switched Grabahs MerchantID to Garakbars and fine tuned Garakbars a bit.

When I started all those merchants including Grabah had like crazy weird shit nothing like the P99 list lol.

This fucking Troll is fucked on my box too but I remember it's very similar to the one I have in Rivervale so look at that exact match I'll just switch the MerchantID of the fucked up troll to that standard one.

I AM THE MASTER OF MERCHANTS BOW DOWN HEARTBRAND.

[Zahovoon]

Ok so figured it out basically. There's an alchemy merchant in Grobb with one set of shit, and one in Oggok with a different set of shit, and then in Halas theres two npcs with one of each. That is all fixed 100% like p99 all out of era items and merchants removed. Fixed the pumice vendor in Grobb, and the gem merchant. In Oggok I removed out of era npcs and made the alchemy merchant a perfect match. Did the same in Halas.

Basically we have a fully classic and p99 verified Alchemy set up kinda proud of myself.

This is basically how the box will fix itself we will be a borg union where people will bring their specific expertise and challenge me on why my box sucks and I will absorb their knowledge into the box. I will learn and fix it immediately.

Thank you Grimtoad.

[Zahovoon]

Sandalwood and Sumbul are apparently only in Cabilis on P99 but I have them added to the Oggok merchant and Halas merchant as well. Not even sure what it makes but if it's in era I'll keep them standard in each 3 places. God damn my Alchemy merchants are classic.

[Zahovoon]

UPDATE spells_new

My first self made MYSQL script lol made all my spells in SPells new have no end of cast LOS check I didn't have to go through each one like a retard.

[zelld52]

Does this work on the titanium client>?

[Zahovoon]

Titanium / P99 files, you need to delete Lavastorm.eqg, and Nektulos.eqg, and arena.eqg technically.

P99 has some way to bypass those files in their code but it doesn't work on my box you have to do it the old fashion way.

Also some guy was raging at me with some real bile, you can play my box pal whoever it was I ain't mad at you. Also whatever I did I am sorry, in theory.

[SamwiseRed]

Sir you have kids. Leave garage box life.

[Zahovoon]

My 4 year old girl swims all day in the pool with her 9 year old sister and my wife likes reading and shit out there. My boys are gamers like me with better computers actually, they like FPS games like Rainbow6 siege, Rust, that type of shit. This is too old for them. One of them got a top 3 academic award from Middle School. The other one is into Football and shit. They're aight pals. We can play some VZTZ too.

Also I can't fucking get this #traindisc to work, Discs aren't working period. I've read some threads but doesn't explain it. Was thinking I'd add a script in for #traindisc command but that doesn't even fucking work, the tomes don't work. But I'm working on it.

[Zahovoon]

I want to get a little philosophical for a moment if you guys will let me.

This box will be the healer of all boxes. I am literally EQEMU Jesus, died on Red99 for training... but still crucified. Rose from the dead and made a proper Box.

The reason this box will be fun is the chillness. You have 2 boxes. It takes like 5-6 days to get to 60. The PVE is Kunark, you want to Raid, its a Fay or a Sev or a VS etc, its a couple hours if that. Trak is the worst at a few hours until you get into VP.

The PVE on Red99 is like 5 to 6 hours several times a week if you want to do that content. Its a total different ballgame of time investment, trash clearing, dealing with people.

If there is an up and comer guild on a Kunark PVP box the gear gap really isnt that much, even with a Rile etc youre still only up a few hundred HP etc and Epics are accessible by all. It is truly the best and most timeless expansion for EQ PVP. Unfortunately the Non-variance aspect on Red ruined it for us. I promise you though, this is the promised land eternal box of heroes, where PVP is fun and slightly balanced and skill based not based on gimmick mechanics.

[Zahovoon]

Found the Discipline fix. God damnit I'm taking the rest of the day off after that like an hour of just staring at threads and the DB.

Eventually it dawned on me, there isn't a problem with the #traindisc command, or with disciplines. It wasn't scribing the discipline for my warrior, I found the Discipline, which is actually a Spell effect. It had all classes at 255, the only problem was it wasn't scribing it to the warrior it was 255. Changed that to 55 hotfixed and bam it shows up under alt-c and works.

I'll take a break maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll go through them all and set them, then set up a merchant in EC tunnel to train them for people.

The specters(corpse summoners) werent working either, but it worked before on a higher status account not sure what's wrong with those scripts need to go over them again too and remove the account status req.

And buried in your bones, there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealin' your mind
And all that was real is left behind

Don't fight it, it's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feelin' takin' over

It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open

It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion

There's somethin' breakin' at the brick of every wall that's holdin'

All that you know , so tell me, do you wanna go?

Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

We light it up, we won't come down

And the sun can't stop us now

Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

I play Red99 as I work on my box and it's just dead, even with 65 people. Everyone is scattered camping random shit they don't need, no one talks, no one really PVPS. It's really just lifeless and dead. There's maybe 10-20 low level rando's just doing obscure shit. There's a couple groups of people who need nothing just want people to grief that don't exist. Then there's a few stragglers camping shit.

Really depressing.

[Zahovoon]

I've been brainstorming on low-pop end game content. The best I can come up with is allow 4 boxing. tank/healer/dps/utility. 5 people can do Trak if you min/max 20 characters. All Kunark groupable content can be done with 4, fungi, seb. The way content is, it feels and plays like Red99. 2 people probably would struggle doing group content. End-game is completely out of reach.

I don't want to adjust mobs lower custom, or make custom damage items, this seems like the best I can do.

I'll revisit the rule once there is lets say 100 people online, if it ever happened.

[Zahovoon]

Also this is a totally different topic, but Epic Mages on Live were actually good. I won't allow the bard poofing nonsense like Red. Also, Epic Mages had significant MR, they were almost unrootable/snareable, and fast as fuck with sow/velocity would stick on you like shit. How they work on Red is just an absolute travesty I would not let continue.

[Zahovoon]

Made one last final custom adjustment under the "Low POP PVE doability" initiative.

I had it in before, took it out made it classic, and now putting it back in, which makes all PVE trivial and doable by smaller numbers.

- Charm is now permanent duration.

If guilds get big enough to do content without it I'll consider removing it, or making less than permanent.

Removed Eirod something out of era, bunch of new age robes I need to adjust and make it less colorful like Red.

I kind of want to put Mayong Mistmoore in as a 7 day. Will do some research first.

Samwise - you may try to act cool and hide your weird. But deep down I know you are a nerd like me, and your lies don't make you happy and normal.

[Zahovoon]

Anyone remember Lovely aka Masterkova, not to be confused with the shitter Paladin Love. Way too much shit see's invis in MM too that's not right I need to adjust robes, remove see invis, then I'll keep going.

[Zahovoon]

I'm basically performing the autopsy on Grimtoad playing my box as a timeline. Broken Alchemy shit in Grobb/Oggok(fixed), Kunark Spell merchants empty(Bamzals fault all fixed), Out of era weird trigger mob in OT (removed), out of era mob in RM (removed). MM see invis apparently killed him when there shouldn't be any lol fixing now brother I am sorry for these failures.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/br5PZ6zm/MMfixed.png (https://postimg.cc/T5nFSJ5b)

All new robe textures removed, just had to adjust textures to 1 for all the mobs with a new one, also removed see invis from all those casters.

The way it actually works, from experience, is you don't get broken until the undead mobs closer to HBC those undead girls.

The plate ones show their Bronze pieces they have I might try to fix that sometime but not urgent.

[Zahovoon]

COM needs a tad bit of work. Minor alterations in missing/misplaced mobs, no 51-58 spells itemized yet. That's my next job but I'll take a break 1st. 57 each Fog Golem is 1 blue? it's a bit grindier than normal but probably with a decent group a couple hours 57-60 if that? Depending on the spot.

But Stasis, why do you spam all day about how much time you spend on some insignificant shit box. Isn't that a bit crazy.

Well yes, good question, the reason I do it is so people realize how long I've spent on this box, and that it isn't just some simple bait to troll.

It is actually the VZ/TZ box we all deserve. Because no one can or will.

[Zahovoon]

COM is fixed layout replicated from Red99 perfectly, although while levelling I noticed Fog golems hitting for 130 which is a bit out of range so I might have to adjust some stats down.

Still haven't added 51-57 spells maybe tomorrow prob leave things there for tonight.

Fixed some minor stuff Lizard healers in CT from TAKP have insane mana regen so greens were chain healing me. There's a problem with the AOF spawn where sometimes it bugs, I thought it was the globe but I put it on the ground and it keeps happening, I looked into spawn2/spawngroups/spawnentry changed a few things we'll see. Retesting, the steel golem mob wasn't up in the lake either I have to deep dick this to make CT reliable.

Single box Red99 is boring, for the smoothest of brains. Bowquest, Velious PVE. It's boring. It feels 100% dead and playing my box is more fun at this point, and I get to fix things and fine tune my project.

I won't be pvping on my box it wouldn't be right, but I'll help people with the toons I lvl'd legit. I'll be the Samwise the noob PL roleplayer of this box, yet he's a hardcore cool gangster now I guess. I'lls tay true to the nerd Samwise.

This is the way EQ is supposed to be played.

Imagine being Love, on Red99. That's the joke. Think about it, he logs on, lets say it's a raid, he goes and does like 10% the dmg of a rogue. Doesn't heal. Maybe LOH's a tank for a clutch heal? OK PvP time, he runs around doing no dmg, and that's it he just runs around. Logs off.

Just a thought I had.

COM was one of the revamped zones, where it basically looked good, they just had some non era loot, non era mobs they added, and it seems like they beefed everything up to deal with the scaling of Live.

I went through each mob and reduced their Max HP and DMG to P99 values. Mist golems had 4k instead of 2k, Fog Golems/Gyrating Goos same thing, some goos had 6k hp same with the golems and greater warbones.

Everything P99 values for every mob, I also went on Red and placed everything exactly right on the lower level will need to do the top now maybe a little bit but it looks OK.

Checked Black Reavers, didn't verify Shaman epic mob stats yet. Now onto adding Spell Loot tables onto all these mobs first and this will be the main lowbie spell hub that I can expand upon.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/cCxLP07P/COMSpells.png (https://postimg.cc/Fd6vLtBx)

Spells applied to fog golems, gyrating goos, and greater warbones, upped the percent in the tables to 3% each spell a chance, from like .136 so I don't know it'll probably be commonish and might need to be adjusted.

[Zahovoon]

I'm not going to do anymore today, but spells are very easymode currently and I might dial it back down a bit to 1% a spell or something, then maybe adjust the end game ones a bit.

Not sure how I want it to work yet currently. I'll have to feel it you know. Anyway done for today later friends.

Also I've said this before and I'll say it again, if I shit talk you, or you hate me, who cares? My box is still the best. Abusing GM powers or even taking part in the Box PVPing would destroy all the work I've done - never going to happen. No favors, No intervention, No GM abuse. I also don't care who plays, who calls me a retard, or really whatever they feel they want to do on my Box it's not my place to judge.

AIGHT maybe tomorrow I'll get to Seb like I planned. PEACE.

I was thinking the Colgate's of the world, the everything is cringe people, the if you play Red99 you're a loser I go to Music Festivals. But then the second Nizzar got banned they raided Velious like 5 days a week lul.

It's a little joke for myself when people try to act cool and normal. I know you guys aren't lol.

Duik you're just a nobody, it's like, give me some examples of shit you've done I just know you as my ball strap sniffer.

[Zahovoon]

I'm going to put the Runed Figher Staff in, Maybe the Moss covered Twig and stuff,

I'll leave out the Trak staff since it's just a beefy Tstaff, I'll put in the rod of annihilation, the ringed mace of ykesha, I'm going to add some of those today maybe.

[Zahovoon]

OPTION ONE - play on Red grind easy solo dark blue mobs endlessly, solo, slow, wait for regen. Empty box. With the goal of reaching broken mechanic boring end game?

OPTION TWO - Play my 4 box group on VZTZ, go farm Seb, Disco maybe, Bugs maybe, Fungi? KC? Armory? Epics? Hate Gear? With the end result goal being PVP in Kunark over dragons?

No brainer.

[Zahovoon]

If you think about it, like 90% of Velious content is out of reach of Red99. And the only stuff that can be done is because of Charm or mechanic gimmicks lol like Captain Dictate or bowing rooted yeli.

[Zahovoon]

Which actually is a good purpose, a classic Live like PVE challenge box. I don't mean to knock it, I want to exist alongside it as the premier PVP garagebox.

[Zahovoon]

Froglok Hunter and Froglok Forager were way passed the wall in TT, they are part of the cycles like live/modern p99. Just really unnecessary and not how garage box was.

I took a random green frog roamer near EJ to the right like normal and turned him into a 100% chance of spawning Forager, that roams around the area like he was. Did that same thing with the Hunter, they are from EJ ZL off to the right a bit near the water maybe or closer to EJ/TT.

I'm going to go to SK and revert Quillmane to "The Golden Calf" trigger mob near the Aviak Ramp, with a 60 sec spawner, and a trigger function to spawn Quill at one of the 4 spots. It's still challenging and technically Garage Box Classic. I'll get a pic here soon. 55-60 was a little grindy for my tastes but if you have an Ench like I did they just lawnmow it down. Permanent Charm duration, easymode.

IFS legit is 6% chance, I put the RFS at 10% the same as Manastone, getting the frenzied to spawn with a 10% is brutal, but my game is accurate and brutal end game. IFS still drops 6% chance for jousting if anyone wants it so you actually have a bit of a bonus % monk weapon chance.

https://i.postimg.cc/13cPJQQ6/Cryptcaretaker.png (https://postimages.org/)

Rod is 10% like I think will be my standard for Legacy Items.

https://i.postimg.cc/VvCPMygJ/Boogoog.png (https://postimg.cc/64tPJmDK)

Never used it, it's at 100% which the post nerf staff was 100 I'll prob put at 10%.

[Zahovoon]

Can't edit the previous post, the Hunter Forager was done differently, I reverted everything. Then just added 2 spawns, a Hunter and a Forager, 10 mins. Between EJ/TT and Swamp/TT that roam around that area.

NVM couldn't help myself. Currently with "Low pop initiative" Pacify doesn't crit resist, and Charm is full duration no breaks. PVE is doable(easy), and PVP potential is alive. It's basically how people camp shit legit, just with more deaths and frustration.

- Sneak Pulling enabled (makes Trakanon pulling not take forever, it's handy for FD pulling anywhere really, I liked it personally.
- Classic Mechanic Triple attack for Monks/Warriors enabled based on succesful double attacks.

Son, I haven't played Red in a year. Wild you still bringing me up after your berged yourself out of a good guild. Keep making terrible servers that no one wants to play.

[Zahovoon]

I was talking about Red actually, and how 3-4 days a week raiding 4-5 hrs is unbearable because some people like you are there to socialize, and I'm there to win and rub tunes nose in it lol. I really don't care much about you personally.

Also Love. The power of the snub has no effect on me, I do it for the love of EQ, but if I'm being honest my box is amazing lol. Mechanics and content are running perfectly.

If no one plays I'll keep fixing it and blogging to myself. Keep playing Red I don't care I played it lots. ROT is total garbage I don't know how they do it, but Red99 I get it at least.

That's how I am I shit talk and act like a retard, I expect it back, I dunno why people are so sensitive, lots of boomers here? I don't care though I'm right about almost everything and I'm right about Red.

[Zahovoon]

I'll never play Red again after Lewis app'd GM, he broke the one line I think that is really unfortunate, but doesn't surprise me and I don't really miss it. The guy played in Nihilum and Holocaust when Red dropped though, does it really surprise anyone that he can wear many faces?

[Zahovoon]

For the record Twainz or Colgate could come on my box and shit it up, shit talk me, call me crazy, etc and I wouldn't consider retaliation, I live for it, I love this shit.

A box for the people.

[Zahovoon]

The thing with Red99 and people, and my Box and people. Is the content is much easier in Kunark, and you don't need that many reasonably competent people, you just need like 3-4 good people running a few boxes and all Kunark is relatively trivial and chill.

Red is simple and chill also, but Cleric chains will fuck up, or tanks will fuck up basically. So it's easymode with more chances to screw up with critical people. Just waste of time fuck ups someone standing in a wrong spot or doing something dumb pulling etc will delay it a lot.

On my box you're not as tied into having to deal with all the retards, you don't need 7 clerics 4 tanks 15 dps, basically every single person playing the server to do a raid. The population just doesn't support Red the way it needs to for that style of box either, and the people there are just the evaporated scum lining the bottom a pool or something. That's why 90% of the content stays untouched, if not higher 95%. I mean I'm not wrong sorry guys.

Long one got a bit rambly THOUGHTS FROM THE DEV.

[Zahovoon]

The whole single box is a joke too, imagine being one of those Shamans I forget their names I liked them both actually fuck I'm so bad with names.

Show up to a raid and just buff relentlessly for 4-5 hours, single box. Just shoot me.

[Zahovoon]

All the people I fought on Red that were good, like Useful, Ordaga, etc all had full buffs everytime we fought, and would load in green clerics and shit to CHEAL out of range lol. Then there's me, jboots. It's just a sham anyway everyone was boxing like a mutha fucka.

[Zahovoon]

Sorry I am going hard today, just coffee Love sorry to disappoint you.

Raiding on Red in a nutshell is administrative work, you need to make sure you have enough Clerics and they know what they're doing. Oh shit one of them is drunk he's fucking up waste of time. Tanks do you have defensive are you ready, oh you forgot to click defensive you died. Oh the Cleric didn't heal you died, wipe. 30-45 mins rebuffing.

Also Raid times no one showed up on time, routinely an hour late to get started because no one parked, or gave a shit.

It's really just dealing with retards. That's what it felt like to me. I am sorry like, it was a good guild or whatever but it's not my cup of tea, so fuck it I'll go make what I want.

Where my box really lacks is credibility, and trust. Which I'm not sure if I can gain it, maybe if I'm the only box left, or people get tired of shitty of boxes being run by retards? Tough 2 say. I think the box is finished product now at least with fine tuning left. So there's that. Everytime I try this it gets better and better and maybe the tire kickers will stick around, maybe not. There won't be anymore wipes though I am sticking to that, this is the final vision I always wanted. I would do Teams but Bamzal kinda said for 0 people playing nawwww lol.

Short form, empty, edgy, and super cool. No one really plays any of the EMU's, that's why I'm doing this, because mine will be fun and restore the quality of VZTZ type EMU PVP before Red evolved people into psychopaths, basically due to how miserable and unfun the experience is lol. I legit laugh and hope people play there forever.

[Zahovoon]

Contrary to popular belief, I am not a psychopath, or sadistic. I am an asshole who gets overly competetive with videogames Dota / Chess as well. That results in me wanting to crush my enemies dicks into the dirt and griefing. Once I get bored I do tend to have a burn it down type of attitude but it's just boredom. I am not really a griefer.

Using GM powers to grief people isn't my style, in fact, I don't think I could get involved with a clear conscience other than maybe helping the first settlers do some PVE with my toons. It wouldn't be fair sport.

Most of my endless Red99 forum posting has been discussing different mechanics that were relevant at the time. The 18 second Tstaff, the unresistable earth pets, the no variance kunark mobs, etc etc. If the boxes suck, which they all have over the past decade I can't help but insult and laugh at how shitty it is. Do that to mine I dare you to find something shitty. I'll fix that shit so fast.

I do it for EQ, not because I want to suck your dicks. Much love.

Only Colgate could try so hard to show he doesn't care. Only 4 letters, no Capsd first letter, no period. Random account with random letters and numbers.

But you still posted lol.

[Zahovoon]

Just playing with u man, I think that era should die honestly, and everyone cringe max
/ full retard.

It's not 99, no ones impressed by the elitist EMU EQ player anymore and I don't think anyones feelings get hurt here anymore.

[Zahovoon]

First time testing Moss Covered Twig seems totally fine to me, you eat a shit ton of extra riposte dmg, and if someone has a dmg shield you'll shred yourself, and the DMG doesn't seem overpowered currently so fuck it it stays in.

I guess it was overpowered for Hate generating reasons PVE shit? I still think you'd get fucked on raid mobs with riposte.

Anyone OG enough to see one of these? I'd like to find a way to introduce GM event items that were limited, but tough to say how a proper way to do it would be without favoriting GM events, and one time items.

This post didn't get enough attention, I saw this on I think The Tribunal or something, in 1999, a Dwarf Paladin in the guild "The Elitists" ironic but true, I was low level just infront of Perma there was 100 of them and I was amazed by it all as a kid not taking part. I think it was The Tribunal can't remember, fuck.

Don't think I saw one on Tallon Zek but Brommix probably knows better than me as the resident pro of TZ/Red99.

[Zahovoon]

Teleported my group to Lavastorm, was running up to Solb, and somehow they all ended up in the lava and my mage died, and I'm done. Be back tomorrow for more quality EQ content.

I'm working on cleaning up the loot a bit starting by deleting all the Research items, they're broken, I have a research vendor in EC, and the itemization of all the pages/runes are weird sometimes you get multiples etc. Instead of fixing them I'll just delete it all.

[Zahovoon]

Best thing I ever did, all the Words of, Rune of the, Nilitims, Salils, etc just wiped out and what a difference, all those pages and runes just shit all over everything multiple on a mob bigtime aesthetic improvement and really took me like 3 mins.

Going to go through each Kunark Raid Target and make it + / - 12 Hour Variance. The idea being one guild cannot "Nail everything down" so to speak and show up on the spawn time with their force and kill it, forcing the PVP to be a sort of British Warfare stand off and whoever really has the bigger force wins. The large variance will make it so people can have more numbers, at a random time, than the bigger guild. Guilds might be able to search for raid targets if people are on etc that are in window, or win a fight at an odd time.

Nihilum on Red99 farmed Kunark on time for a couple years, imagine if they had + / - 12 on each mob, had to be able to show up at night, in the morning, only one mob to feed their massive bloated lazy army etc etc.

With this Variance, you kill a mob on Tuesday at 6PM, basically the mob will spawn next Tuesday at some time for that day.

Good stuff.

[Zahovoon]

So you're telling me I need to grind 2000 hours of Dark blues to reach level 60, to then depend on Retard group 1, or Retard group 2 for buffs, ports, Raids, gear. Riiiiight.

How about I just go make a box that is fun to play and do that instead.

[Zahovoon]

KC looks pretty good, no issues, the Ringed Mace is pretty good at 3%, plenty of drolvarg sentries.

Warlord and the Jail function differently, the Warlord can spawn anywhere with multiple versions all over. I'm fine with it.

Functions/feels like Red.

[Zahovoon]

I see the Off Topic thread about Duik being a homo, much love from the only content creator from the Red/PVP community.

[shovelquest]

There's nothing wrong with being a homo.

https://i.postimg.cc/tTwydtdR/poh2.png (https://postimg.cc/YG6JMFyT)

I don't judge tbh I shit talk everyone.

[Zahovoon]

The PVE is easymode with enchanters like this, I don't mind that one bit. Fuck up and you get one rounded though.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/2SQRtLvG/Immersion.png (https://postimages.org/)

Immersion rank up.

Hate is not P99 like at all, the walls are perfect and nothing agros through the floors, there aren't roamers really and everything is just static in the houses and farmable basically at ease.

I'm going to keep it like that as the first stepping stone into Kunark Content leave it easymode instead of 20 5 min respawn rats and ice cometing liches.

I also might reintroduce the minis, also in Fear, I reverted everything to 1.0, I might leave it nerfed 1.0 stats for Golems (15k) hp and just put the updated loot table on them. Instead of rebuilding the zones. For the Hate Minis I would just need to put the NPCs back in and all the spawn info should still be there.

[Ekco]

nice.

[Zahovoon]

Variance is in. Changed Fay/Talendor/Sev/Gore to 7 day with a 24 hour variance. Not sure exactly how it works, if it's 7 days until the 24 hour variance starts will need to test. It just has the 7 day timer in seconds, and then a variance of 24 hours in seconds. Kunark sucked for years because GM's couldn't take 5 mins lol.

VS/Trak switched to 3 days with 12 hour variance. Guess I'll do the same for Inny/CT, and then add the modern Golem loot tables and fix that up.

[Zahovoon]

Should I make Planar drops droppable, VZTZ Classic?

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/9f26bJN1/Minis.png (https://postimg.cc/qNmDMXrC)

Minis are back on the menu. Haven't put their respawn time yet actually or gone through everything fully I was thinking 3 items on each guarenteed 24 hr repop?, took a bit to find the spawns that were them and what needed to be reverted. That's how you learn though break shit apart then rebuild it.

I will also need to add new age loot to Inny. Grinding the gear was easymode, but kind of rare, it's easy and rare, grindy.

It will be a mix of TAKP / PEQ, the stats/spells of the mobs are 1.0, but the loot, the minis, are revamped. Same will be in Fear, Golems will have 1.0 stats 15k instead of 32k and have the updated loot tables.

[Zahovoon]

(Interviewer) Stasis, you're just a mentally ill retard who spends all day on his VZTZ Box.

(Me) Yes.

[Zahovoon]

Minis 24 hr repop, 6 hr variance, inny/Hand of the Maestro 3 days with a 24 hr variance. Inny 7 day 24 hr variance.

All the trash is 8 hr.

Inny is Prevamp/Loot, with Minis up with the same loot. Kinda goofy but I'm not sure if I want to put all the racial armor on, or when that got entered into the game so I'll wait. I'll go fix Golems now though.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/NjqZDBNR/Golemsnew.png (https://postimg.cc/crhD4yGJ)

2 drops each golem, chickenbones rare as fuck had to repop like 10 times. Felt pretty accurate. Weird kinda dynamic where CT has the same loot as the Golems, is 1.0 stats/abilities etc.

I'll have to look at revamped loot to see if I can put it in same as Inny but at least Minis/Golems are doable and functioning good.

[Zahovoon]

I think a big thing for the easymode aspect of the box is the agro range, I tried looking up TAKP kinda classic agro range I don't see it yet but I'll keep digging and maybe online.

My mobs just don't have the agro range to add that chaos to the game, Bamzal noticed that in Kithicor too. To feel dangerous it needs to be upped a bit ill research that prob next. The feel is just too easy, without being a mechanics problem of the mobs.

I also have it so Greens don't agro, I kind of like that but it's another Garagbe Box EZmode problem.

[Zahovoon]

NVM it's under NPCs AGRORADIUS, TAKP uses 180 for POFEAR mine out of the box is 50, I'll start with the dangerous zones and work backwards I guess, end game back.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/c4FPq2Bb/Ididitlol.png (https://postimages.org/)

So I made Fearplane all the aggro radius of TAKP, 300 for scarelings, 200 for glarelords etc, scarelings are the highest.

But LOS was still working so it didn't have the live like vibe temple wouldn't agro, but if you remove the Base Map File for the zone that includes all the LOS and pathing and shit, and makes it how it is on P99. Fixing it by breaking it...

So all I need to do is thread the needle with Aggro radius for the Amyg Knights and the temple will come down on the other side of the Firewall, even though there's no Firewall mechanic itself.

Story time - I joined Yulaths guild on some shit box, I saw they were in fear was like ok I'll come fuck around went in ran to the north wall. Agrod Amyg knights through the fire wall, and got yelled at by Yulath and he was all pissy and ridiculous. I told him the Fire wall doesnt work right wasn't my fault. Then Colgate shows up hes like oh you can't let some guy do his small quest or whatever lol. Why does Jesus test me with such reet knights holy hay seuss. I was bro I don't know I was looking for something to do on this empty shit box. Yulath is a perfect example of why I don't use Discord anymore because the people who play here are the people I want to go against in a Polish Slap battle but like fucking Alabama Akinn Slap battle no rules, no rounds.

[Zahovoon]

Yulath and Letsjoe top 2. Twainz for top annoying.

[Zahovoon]

Army of Azrael, Army of Newly inspired Holocaust crew due to Nizzar being banned. Infront of POFEAR. Letsjoe on Grissle. On the first rock on the right as you run up to the fake wall Portal room. I sprint up the rock with selos first hit Tstaff proc and we drop him in 10 seconds lul WindyRanger. That guy can suck my shlong all day whenever I think of him that's what I remember.

[Zahovoon]

But in all fairness we lost to Gongshow crew, who knew my coked up puerto rican firecracker wouldn't lead me to Red99 dominance.

[Zahovoon]

Not much I can do for Hate the agro radiuses are the same, the houses and buildings just have superior whatever coding, I can't remove the mapfile like fear, everyone would get deleted through mass house agro.

I think the p99 experience is just lots of roamers liches/rats, big ice comets, and higher agro range, but on Live it was like shit through the floor no collision at all. So I can't really replicate that and it will be easy mode for people who take their time.

[Zahovoon]

About 30 Out of Era items removed from Crushbone, Orc Skull, Orc Jawbone, Orc Tibia, Orc Foot Bone Orc finger bone etc etc.

Crushbone is now Classic. Also, I remember doing Highpass and there was a bunch of static Orcs, and some with the proper grid so I just applied them all to the existing grid and fixed that up too.

Ty Grimtoad but try something more challenging too ez.

[Zahovoon]

Doing Jewelcrafting today deleted a bunch of out of era molds and books.

[Zahovoon]

Bam all JC merchants are classic or P99-like rather. Just found the Templates, found my working templates matched them, matched all the JC vendors on the wiki to those templates. Then went through and checked them each on a GM and made sure, found two wrong not bad. There's like 4 templates or 5, and some custom ones or slightly different ones repeated. All of them are done the rathemtn, steamfont, cab, there's like 5 in erudin, all of them. Not just reverted to classic 100% matching, actually except I have Fire Opals on mine I'd have to remove those from the Merchantlist tables but I might just leave them.

I doubt many nerds could do this, this fast, Less than an hour all JC is reverted to Classic?

[Zahovoon]

I don't use any of those editor programs either, right into the Matrix boys. The thing I'm kinda proud about is I had no idea what I was walking into, learned it, fixed it, under an hour, all out of era removed, all merchantlists matched. From 0 knowledge or experience in that specific area.

Seb is quick respawns I think it's 10 mins if I had to guess, I'm not sure if KC was like that too, the nameds spawn quick too already got an arbitor sword, and a deepwater bracer. I like it, leaving it faster respawn makes it more bearable. Loot feels great no surprises I have a list of out of era shit but not much and minor. Looks p gold.

[Zahovoon]

In fact I will probably make it 10 mins, except like steel golem in CT, and most zones will be 10 mins. This is the way.

[Zahovoon]

Ohhhh fun fun, a hacker, is this a ddos attack? I guess I better get reading lol. Do your worst sir, I want to see it.

It seems when I restart there's no damage adn you have to do your thing again, prob flooding my network if I had to guess that would be the most obvious?

[Zahovoon]

The recurring EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes in clientlist.cpp:814 (SendWhoAll) in your EQEmu server logs (version 22.25.0) strongly suggest a bug in the SendWhoAll function, likely triggered by client activity, malformed packets, or server-side conditions like resource strain or configuration issues. The rapid client disconnections from xxx.xxx.xx.xxx and invalid session key attempts from xxx.xxx.xx.xxx(probably a vpn).

The crashes and client disconnections suggest a combination of factors:Network-Related Bug in EQEmu:The SendWhoAll crash (21:08:16) and EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (20:41:07) point to issues in EQEmu’s network handling, likely in clientlist.cpp or TCPConnection. These could be triggered by malformed packets, excessive requests, or unhandled edge cases (e.g., large client lists or rapid zoning).

I have the IP but prob VPN, is this why /who all is disabled on ROT? lol. You nerds I love you.

[Zahovoon]

Disabled some who features opening back up to the world. Grok will help me through these encylopedia crash logs.

OK I think the problem was on my end, or, I had a problem on my end, and got ddos'd lol. But anyway this could all be schizo shit and it was just an issue with who all modifications lol. It felt ddosy to me.

[Zahovoon]

I think my Black Reavers are broken son of a bitch.

[Zahovoon]

Oh it looks like Mass log in/disconnects from that account. Intredasting, and a who all bug that both culminated in a crash. I guess you just put a small timer on it like Red99 has if someone logs out.

The funny thing is Colgate, I don't see the world like you guys. If you had a good box I wouldn't complain and I'd play it. You guys want to snub me. I already told you the power of the snub has no power on me. I just don't understand why you guys would want to play on shit boxes. Same with Red99, if it had boxing, no bow quest etc I'd just play there. Single box is smoothbrain EQ though that's a fact, and not classic, and the population is all retards so tripple whammy.

I feel I just try to convince you guys why those boxes suck, but you're too retarded, or operate on a different frequency(engelburt pocket gm)

[Zahovoon]

Either way, I tried Dragonspear, and ROT, both sucked like 10/10 suck. Red99 is broken but decent PVE. Both unplayable so I will keep working on mine <3. I will ask though, if ROT was a success, and you were a true guardian of EQPVP, why do the boxes suck so bad everytime. I think you're con men.

[Zahovoon]

It's really a continuation of Red99, where Nizzar beat Holocaust like 3 times in PVP and they stopped logging in for like 2 years, then the second Nizzar got banned they all played like 5 days a week.

They can only play when they win, that's basically the thought process going on with ROT I am almost sure of it, I just don't play because of the shitty mechanics and feel lol(and 1 % a mob).

[Zahovoon]

ACTUALLY last post, Holocaust did come back 1 time but I put them in the dirt where they belongd at Seb Jail personally. Lewis knows what I'm talking about.

[Zahovoon]

It is kind of funny that ROT is like "no ones playing that" and I'm like, make a good fucking box and I'll just play yours lol.

https://i.postimg.cc/ncCDKfGt/Discotime.png (https://postimg.cc/bsfr8M56)

Seb suffers from the same disease as POFEAR, small agro range, other than that basically perfect. I am hesitant to make things harder as the pop will be crushingly low or only me.

People on Red99 will try to tell you the best way to play EQEMU is by doing none of the current expansion content, except the one mob you can charm gimmick with dictate. I don't want to follow that logic.

Easy PVE - Skilled PVP is the proper model, not the other way around like Red.

[Zahovoon]

My Myconid Reavers are lvl 56 actually which should only be 52 tops according to TAKP probably where the Paci issue came in. I'll go through stats actually and make sure everythings lined up, I'll need to remove some mobs too actually Krup Mages etc. There's some odd stuff, Dar wizard? doesn't seem right.

[Zahovoon]

His char name was Joejitsu, which actually sounds like something Joe would do, but I have no proof it's the real Joe.

That being said he isn't banned, come play bro, I won't punish people just learn and fix. Same with exploits or game mechanics and shit I may change and fix but I won't punish people, this is truly the pirate box.

[Zahovoon]

Final thoughts for the day before I'm off, training won't be a major issue for a few reasons. Kunark mobs die too fast mainly, trains will be effective and used all the time hypothetically, but to prevent a train as a raid is pretty easy in Kunark, with a 16 second Trak kill etc, timing is next to impossible to train that. Even in VP those mobs can die 20-30 seconds it's really hard to get your timing right. Maybe PD would be the easiest to train, but even then not easy a very fast kill done right. You can have people down in the halls catching them before they get to you etc.

Be back tomorrow. Knowing my box is nice and safe and unddosable by joe.

[Darksinga]

DBG has set all server operators free pal. Go live your life and start learning how to make games that aren't EQ. The amount of time and dedication you are putting toward your server is actually commendable. GL!

[Zahovoon]

Thank you sir. As a person I think you're 10/10. As my Box competitor, your box must die. You live in Hawaii you already won the spawn lottery you'll be OK.

[Zahovoon]

Guess I'll fix up Seb today, align stats get rid of out of era krups, and fine tune. KC seemed fine I mean it doesn't scale like Seb into Juggs/Mushrooms anyways. For some reasons the mushrooms are scaled up I'll check the juggs too. I'll probably make it 20 min repops for Mushrooms+. Then all the easy content 10. I'll do KC all 10 probably. It's just more manageable camping something not having to wait 30 mins or wahtever between pops i think KC was 30 on P99.

[Zahovoon]

- Fix Seb
- Fix Disciplines

Probably leave it there for a month or w/e a bit not to burn myself out but since my box is complete almost I will leave it up indefinitely.

Big things left

- The hole is still closed and screwed up.
- VP is still closed and out of era.
- Spells have Velious spells, and Beastlord spells and shit it's not cleaned up at all for 50-60. 1-50 is completely 100% perfect.

That's about it?

Still need to test

- Epics but I bet they're fine I've noticed along the way most epic items.
- Raids
- Network capabilities
- Hit Box
- PvP vibes

If we ever get a proper following I can turn up the hardness, which is basically adding agro range to harder zones.

[Zahovoon]

Sebs done, Reavers were over levelled, adepts were under levelled.

Juggs were 100%, prot/tola/trak/Reets 100%, the only thing they altered were the Mushrooms I guess.

Boks at the beginning of the zone had some higher level ones with 9k instead of 6k hp I toned them down a tad bit.

Removed the Krup mage, I think that zone is 100%. Removed some out of era mobs, and items.

[Zahovoon]

This shits all easy tbh after rebuilding the major 1.0 zones and getting all of the out of era shit out, getting bamz to do the Leaderboard etc, source code melee mechanic changes.

I feel like I'm coasting to the finish line now with all the hard shit done. And I'll never have to play a shit box again.

[Zahovoon]

https://i.postimg.cc/rp3GL0Yp/Disciplines.png (https://postimg.cc/06GKYQvg)

All Disciplines are input, and I have a basic npc I just created and put a script on to train them. I am officially a GAME MASTER, if people want to tell you, you can't accomplish your dreams. Remember the story of Zahovoon.

I can probably eventually do a global script actually where they are learned automatically on level up, which is how it should be, but I don't really wanna do it right now.

I have Unholy Aura and all the Velious ones enabled, so there's a bit of a blur between Velious/Kunark content atm which IDGAF.
