Semi-Classic

Will this server strive to become more and more classic, as it continues to move forward? Will some, or all, of the above-mentioned aberrations be changed to classic, over time?

Lots of your questions would have been answered by simply knowing more about what you're playing. It is fairly well-known that spellbooks, boats, and other things are simply client limitations. I have NO idea how you didn't know this by playing on an emu server for 5 months. We will fix things as soon as we have fixes for them.

If this is to be an eventuality, I would be willing to devote effort and time to run down each and every bug or inconsistency and report them individually on the bugs forum. I don't generally waste my time on forums as I generally see them as worthless trolling logs, but if hard work and reporting really will lead to the creation of a classic server by the developers, that would alter things.

Again, I do enjoy playing on the server, that's why I am here. I can enjoy the current Semi-Classic server, but I would love a Classic server more.

As I feel most of the other questions have already been answered, I'll chime in on this part. Report the bugs you find. I also find forums to be "not worth my time" sometimes, but hey, I have more posts than anyone else. It's not like I woke up one day as was like.. I'm gonna project manage an Everquest server, let me get to work! It's all volunteer-based and I put in more hours than I should. If your questions yield cynicism, I hope you see why. It's like showing up to the Salvation Army and asking.. are you guys *really* gonna solve world poverty? I'll donate some food maybe, but only if its worth my time.

You should try reporting things, *then* see if they get fixed. Or looking through resolved issues? I don't know why you asked if reporting issues would yield a classic server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Speaking just for myself, I have been playing since October, about 5 days after the server launched, and I currently have a magician, necromancer and cleric at level 50.

Now why wouldn't you have mentioned experience being too fast .. prior to your leveling of 3 lvl 50s? :P

But I would ask Aeolwind, or other developers actually doing things to move the server forward: can you answer my question? Once the myriad bugs and non-classic elements are eventually removed/mitigated/worked around/whatever, is there the possibility of some kind of relaunch for those of us interested in a functionally more classic server, or more preferably the possibility of a second server?

I'm not sure if this was just worded poorly, but it has a tone of unappreciation. All developers "actually" have done things to move the server forward. There are hardware limitations with servers. These are uncharted waters though; I don't think there has ever been enough people on a single eqemu server to test its potential. If this is prekunark and we have ~600 people playing, I assume if the server was more popular, or continues to grow at its current rate, that we would be forced to open another server.

I look forward to your submissions!
