Well not even one has ever dropped on Al'kabor, and only three Steel Hilted Flint Daggers (I own one). About the same number of those short swords that proc darkness.

The rare drops from Howling Stones are VERY rare on Al'kabor. And yeah I know all the place holders of ever named in the joint. When you are stuck with the same expansions for half a dozen years.. you have to find things to amuse yourself with.

Isn't Al'Kabor the Mac server? LOTS of things are different there. You guys kill Quarm yet? /snicker

Temerity is close last I checked. We had killed Fennin and Xegony when I was there and I heard they killed Coirnav after I left.

PoE is very buggy. Rock ring is broken.

Backflagging is a bitch and the server wasn't didn't get the patch to kill it. The flags also have to be done in the specific order because Alkabor didn't get that fix either.

There are not "Lots" of things different there. There are some relatively minor bugs there that didn't get fixed during that time line. At a specific point support was cutoff and the server was stuck with no patches or updates.

The server is as close to Classic as SoE offers right now and the Devs would be well advised to use it as a model for this server.

Yep, thats why I reference Al'kabor so much, its the perfect model for this server. EQ did not change that much at all between 1999 and Al'kabors client. It was only after that timeline that things started to get crazy/ez with huge pet ravamps, zone revamps, spells all revamped,etc.

If only Al'kabor could somehow burn Plane of Knowledge to the ground.... it would be the perfect server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (minus a few bugs that later got fixed PC side)

(oh, and make a red clone of itself..)

Tem beat warlord ginklo..wtf his name is too. So only rathe council left, unfortunatly we have the version that was never beaten by anyone, anywhere so... yeah.

all PC eq bitches who think temerity is inept need to check themselves. The PoP version we have is almost impossible at EPs+ and it is _always_ a struggle to even get 40 people in a raid considering the population and flagging requirements. FPS and latency are a huge issue; literally no computer exists that will run an EQmac raid above slideshow fps. We're playing the version before the version Furor was playing when he made his famous weepy rant about dev cockblocking, so feel free to shit on FoH's pve skills instead while you sit on trak's bind with 75 people mr. eqexpert.

It's for the best anyway - server would seem a bit more pointless (a la p99) if all the content was being farmed and all we had to do was jerk off and spam image macros.

Hobart has been asigned by SOE to work on EQmac since the latest mac OS is not compatible with it so... if NOTHING ELSE we (I) look forward to the day in the near future where we get some huge performance boosts.

heh, I may even finally work on getting GM crafting skills if there is mouse lag improvment.

And if he fixes a few of our 7 year old bugs while he is at it, great.

Fixing the perma pac bug on lvl 66+ mobs would be nice.
