[Ethos]

What more is there to say?

Sincerely,

Gm communication clearly not the reason server failed.

[lethdar]

Interdasting correlation between GM communication and population.

How much is it without the box'd characters?

[Tr0llb0rn]

How much is it without the box'd characters?

about 11, they already have some pretty heafty MQ bot army programs in operation, Sam Deathwalker would be proud.

[nabsev]

Still more than on d99

[Galilao]

Reduced to desperate lies about LoZ because no one is playing this server where 90% of pop is one guild.

I play there and less then half the people I know box (You're only allowed to 2-box), in fact I would say it's about 25% at most.

Boxing is 1. Tedious as fuck and not fun 2. Horrible to pvp with against non-boxers.

It's generally used by people who are leveling melees to help move it along with a box shaman or druid.

Also boxing is only enabled until population breaks 100 individual players, which with the generally 10+ players joining a week on LoZ should just be a matter of time before it's gone altogether.

[Tombom]

so many mads

[456]

2boxing wizards is pretty lulz

[Moda]

Lets all play Everquest =)

[Nirgon]

Staff thought riding Holocaust's nuts (see: ridiculous GM server wide message) would be what the pop wanted.

Didn't work out so hot.

My2c regarding LoZ:

Frankly, it doesn't have that 'legit' feeling to it, but it is undeniably more fun right now than red99. There were over 130 people on last night, even if 40 of those are additional clients, the server is still more lively and feels more alive than red99.

Is it ez? yeap, try soulbinders, 18-19% xp per yel/yed (havent even tried hotzones yet), vendors with research spells up to 50 for your class, YT, working ingame map, Global OOC, etc... it just isn't a pain in the ass to play, and although the diehard classic eq'ers will say blasphemy, truth is the majority of the eqemu crowd does not want to grind that shit out anymore or level without a pet because u cant find the words for it, etc

for the day and age in mmos now, LoZ is hittin the nail on the head in terms of playablity, will it ever be as reliable or stable as red99? probably not, but if ur goal is to logon and kill people.. its fun

[Tr0llb0rn]

Rifts and Tera and WoW have tons of subs too.

More power to them if thats what they want. I never got into ez style games and I am not starting now. I enjoy classic EQ and am happy the devs opened a 2nd classic EQ server with red enabled.

Just not interested in "modern" eq , at all. These two severs (p99 and red99) are really for the "dire hard classic EQer" as you put it. Thats no secret, thats the whole purpose of of them.

I guess what I am trying to say is its compareing apples to oranges. red99 and ez69 are not really even the same game.

Not troll post, thats how I see it.

I have to agree with this post. I want to like LoZ, but I can't help but feel as though I'm playing some cartoon version of EQ whenever I log onto it.

I'm feeling the same way. LoZ is fun and I do like some of the additions to break up the incredibly monotonous grind on r99. But the server as a whole is buggy and the population is, well, just what you'd expect from a pvp server (douchebags). I can't even log into east commonlands there, and no idea why. I may be stuck with the monotonous r99 solo grind on a dead server because LoZ doesn't work properly for me.

100 Tstaffs on ez69 already. No thank you

[bamzal]

Even though they call this classic, its not. Its custom and its shitty. LoZ on the other hand is custom, and its fun.

If you are stuck playing custom, then why play shit, when you can have fun?

[Moda]

Yeah, I'm not playing either server atm but having 25 people online is not "classic " so it's a pretty bad argument.

[Galilao]

Red99 on the come back, to quote somebody I know "No more excuses"

log on and send a tell to Maze in game to get started, offering kinda shitty PL

[Tombom]

100 Tstaffs on ez69 already. No thank you

why do people cry about amount of loot?

there are not 100 monks after you at all times

server is fun and doesnt take youre whole life

1-50 in a day, couple lvls a day after that, life is good pvp is fun, legends is nolifeing <3

[gnomishfirework]

I couldn't deal with the mob pathing. I like when walls actually mean something.

Your playing on the ez server you guys are 90% of thr population....there is no pvp there.

When it comes to recreating the experience of Classic EQ, R99 comes a hell of a lot closer than LoZ. I wouldn't mind so much if LoZ was simply R99 with increased exp rate, but the entire server is so chock full of compromises and that makes it impossible for me to actually have any investment in it. I'm glad some people enjoy it, but I really don't know how.

Maybe so, but the difference is that there are actual several GM's/dev on LoZ almost all the time that are constantly on fixing and patching things, I think eventually it will reach a more stable playable state. It's just more fun that Grind99.

only ez cause our "competition" was so ez to beat and grief off the server.

We now control the only legit classic red box this world will ever see.

/flex


dont hate, you always have your lawl shitbox with the dupes/hacks/and scum of the internet to play alongside.

Classic Red EQ was just not for you.

It will still take him years to bring it to where r99 is.

On the other hand, the compliance of devs here on changing certain things (*cough-resists) sometimes leaves a bit to be desired.

[Nirgon]

What you have to understand, and we had the drawn out discussion before, is that there isn't a "wait for it to change" here. This is how it is going to be.

If youre going to use "complicated" words like compliance to sound smart, you should at least look em up first to see what they mean.

Uh, compliance is hardly a big word, and it was perfectly applicable and understood by the rest of us with an IQ higher than a house plant.

compliance [kuhm-plahy-uhns]  
Example Sentences Origin

come on fella, only 3 syllables, I know you can do it. Sound it out now, u can do it, good boy.

And a big rofl at the other ignorant tards that chimed in without looking the word up. No wonder they so bad at video games.

Here's my experience with LoZ so far:

-Log on, see lots of childish crap in /ooc. Not too big a problem, it is after all a PvP server and they tend to attract the idiots.

-Make a new character and level seriously fast, so fast I don't even have the money to buy my new spells.

-Make another new character in Freeport, try to zone into East Commonlands and it crashes me to login screen with a "Server is not responding" message. Make a dark elf and try to zone from Nektulos as a test, and same problem.

-Log off for the night. Next day log in and still have that problem with EC. No idea why. Asking in /ooc just leads to all the idiots acting like idiots, and the forum is dead so there's no help there either. Not only that, someone from ingame followed me to the forum and posted the same crap they were berating me with ingame in my Client Support thread, all because of the name of the character I used when asking in /ooc. Now that's what I call being dedicated to being an asshole!

-A few hours later problem just magically fixes itself for no reason. I can log in to EC now. I did nothing to fix it. I just tried to log in that character again and crossed my fingers.

-Log that character off to play my main. Try zoning him into The Overthere, and get "Server is not responding", just like EC. Retry multiple times before giving up in frustration for the night.

-Next day log on and see if the character and zone are working yet, since the day before EC fixed itself somehow. Nope, not working. Ok I'll try later. Later comes, still not working. Try about an hour ago and it's magically fixed. I'm finally in The Overthere! Took 11 hours and overnight but I'm there.

-Take the boat to Timorous Deep and translocate to Oasis (I need to get to EC to buy spells). "Server is not responding" AGAIN. Retry a few times in frustration with no luck and log off facepalming.

Wtf is the problem with that server? I've never had these zoning issues with any other game ever, including p99 and r99. After like half a day the connection problem magically fixes itself, but it's apparently guaranteed I'll just run into it again with another zone.

R99 may be dead, but at least it's playable still and you can zone without problems and without getting your characters stuck in limbo for who knows how long.

this sounds like you are running haxx bro, never had a server crash once in my whole journey to knighthood

[MrSparkle001]

Have you rebooted your computer

Multiple times. I also reinstalled and even tried disabling firewall and antivirus. The problem is not on my end, evident by the fact that p99 and r99 run smooth as silk. I installed Everquest twice btw since both servers are incompatible.

No hacks here. I have zero coding experience and can't script whatsoever. No, the problem is their servers. If the problem was on my end wouldn't you think I'd be experiencing problems on p99 or r99?
