thinking of comming to the server

[icreepin]

I was told of the project from another form. Played EQ from 99 until 2009. Was talking with the wife and she suggested we start playing again. Additionally our 3 sons would play also. I played on prexus then sullon Zek then finally Zek. We are looking for a pvp server which this project has which is good. Few questions.

1. What expansion is unlocked on the pvp server? I looked but cant seem to find it. depending on what content is unlocked wll depend on the race we will be. (the boys want to be iskar but I told them we need a cleric)

2. What is the pvp rule set on the server?

3. Is joining a guild a mandatory thing? What I mean by that question is when I played on SZ you didn't have to be in a guild to exp and lvl but if you wanted to progress to the higher end you had to be in a guild. Same with Zek.

4. I understand you can only 2 box but I am going to assume that all of us playing in one house will be ok? Would I be able to 2 box even though everyone else is playing also???

5. We are in the central time zone, the kids can play more then me and the wife but we would probably average 3 to 4 hours a night.

Any suggestions would be welcome, probably wont begin playing until the weekend. I still need to find the right copy of EQ.

1. Classic. Only thing open is PoF atm.

2. No Training.

3. Joining guild helps a lot for leveling.

4. No 2 boxing. Need to apply for IP exempt asap.

5. Cool.

We are still in classic at the moment. Plane of Fear just came out with plane of hate and sol temple due soon.

Its level based ffa pvp. It starts are +-4 lvls, then goes up to 6, then at 42 its 8 level range.

You dont need to join a guild up to probably 35ish, but there is general lawlessness on the server versus the honorable system that existed on live. Most guilds will kill unguilded so eventually its best to apply to a guild or roll with a lot of friends.

You can't 2box at all. You can all play at once, but just know if you have IP exemption on your accounts you will be checked continually and when it even looks like someone may be 2boxing, you will have all your accounts banned.

Theres usually a decent amount of people from 4pm to midnight eastern time if that gives you any idea.

Best suggestion is to avoid any PVP forum other than wtb/wts or guild section. They are full of all kinds of strange characters who only try to grief and flame or claim everyone cheats when this simply is not the case.

Come join the party! Roll a well balanced family group and have some fun.

Any minor or possibly "suspicious" behavior warrants a ban (no warning), no questions asked and no due process. The attitude is that IP Exemptions are such a gift that you must go completely out of your way to always prove you aren't boxing. My brother and I got banned once because he went on a beer run and sat AFK while I continued to kill. He took about an hour because he stopped by a friends house on his way home. Anyway because the IP was flagged for exemption it was assumed I was boxing the characters because I didn't mind sharing XP with my brother for a short duration (<1hr). No questions asked, ban.

So just keep in mind that anything that can possibly be construed as boxing is bannable including just simply autofollowing while one of you use the bathroom. Most players seem to be on a witch-hunt for this behavior too so just be warned.

Are you serious? Even in classic EQ auto follow and quick afk while the group is pulling and killing was a "normal" thing. Well what about the cleric in the group who sits after argo is gotten and only heals after the fight?

[Peppers]

Using ip exemption to go on a "beer run" is abuse of ip exemption and you should have been permenantly banned as I hope you have been.

Yes, don't even think about going afk while logged on this server. Many people have been banned for trying to pull a quick afk during downtime in groups. If you autofollow it is common courtesy to constantly type in some way to let at least one person know that your still at the keyboard (for logs). The most common method is to just constantly spam a stream of consciousness to the person your autofollowing. Don't be shy, spill your guts about everything you can think of so there is no accidental lapse of time that could be logged.

Autofollow is fine. But boxing is not. The first boxer i busted on red had his wife's character on auto-follow while she got their kids ready for school. That would have been fine, but he was running around greater fay making sure to get orcs between his character and his wife's character, then he'd turn auto-attack on on her computer, then on his. He healed and nuked with his wife's toon. THIS is 2-boxing and it's not okay. I don't care that it was his wife's toon & her computer and if it was "Just for a minute" He controlled both characters for AT LEAST 30 minutes. (That's how long i watched before i revealed myself)

Don't listen to Abraham here. he's either trolling or misinformed. people who have grouped with my play characters have always commented on how often I go afk (i have kids and was guiding while playing for a little while) there is a difference between going afk and boxing.

The GMs here are great and very personable. For every innocent person who is banned for boxing, there are 100 that are guilty. The system works.

Well our boys wont be on the forums as there ages range from 10 to 14. But I can post character names ect if this is the route we are going. I know my boys and I can see one of them going afk to answer mom or run to rest room then get semi side tracked. Then from what I am reading face possible ban.

I think I will try and find a list of server rules so I can see exactly what we are getting into . I know I have gone afk for 20 to 30 minutes in EQ while doing this or that. I would be highly PO ifi came back and found i was baned. I think i will do that today.

As far as group and classes there was discussion if we went to EQ

Sk
Pal
Cleric
Shammie
Druid

Far as classes. Was my experience on pvp server in classic EQ that that make up will provide good exp and pvp squad. Dps heals ports slows tank ect.

Hiya - welcome to the server! DEFINITELY don't let your kids on the forums. You may also want to turn the bad word filter ON on their machines. TRUST ME.

I hope you manage to meet someone who will make a chanter or a bard (Or maybe convince the pally to roll one hehe)

Don't worry that you may end up getting banned for going afk. make SURE your kids understand the rules as well as the adults. Doesn't matter if it's the 10 year old boxing. I'll still ban. Here are things people do that they think they won't get caught boxing for:

Logging in another char JUST for a port.
Logging in a cleric JUST for a rez
Logging in a healer JUST for a quick heal.
Logging a second character to trade items.
Logging a trade mule in EC to complete a trade while grouping on your main toon.

As long as everyone understands they can only control ONE character on our server at a time (and log him out before logging in another one) then everything should be good [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i can vouch for this, i reported someone knowing they werent 2 boxing and they were immediately banned, it was amazing that dude must have been so pissed

When. Because supposedly you haven't been able to log into the server for a year. if that's the case you've never even been around when I have suspended anyone for boxing.

if you were lying then who did i supposedly ban for 2-boxing that wasn't really?

Here is the thought kn the classes wife = druid = can solo most of the time when needed. Me = sk or ranger (probably sk) = can solo very well.

The boys = need groupable toons since they are going to be playing together 99.9% of the time which is why I explained to them pally cleric shammy each class can stand on its own in pvp plus that trio makes an excellent combonation. Now the only thing that concerns me is the afk issue and baning and the like since the boys dont share there laptops / or any other characters from councole games ect. So there will not even be close to any issues about them "boxing"

Well hope to see people in game this weekend.

Who do I contact about the IP permission thing.
