What was eq classic server?

It was an EQ project trying to bring back true classic, UI and all. It ended up folding up, but they completed a lot of code & made significant progress.

http://eqclassic.de/wiki/Main_Page

These LanternEQ folks are making use of some of that hard work:

While we are not directly associated with any other projects, EQClassic developer Harakiri has generously allowed us to use a local test server for reverse engineering. Without this, progress would be much slower and in some cases impossible.

The future is Lantern EQ because faction can't even work classicly and right, especially under titanium or other closed source clients. This was kinda the last straw for me and emu. Even if as a player the proper classic configuration would be a hinderence. And the source and proof is dead. It died sometime after 2018. The ppl with all of the proof and data sitting in their laps want it secret. And they don't want to fix it here. Can't say as I blame em. It really isn't worth the time. Especially not for the green and blue raid scene. As it just doesn't really effect them anyway enough to fix for them. They'd not even notice.

They should contribute all that backend data and evidence to a FOSS project tho b4 they completely abandon it.

I'm in two minds about feeding it back. Obviously it was a lot of work, so I can see how they would want to protect it... but on the other hand, the community has provided a constant >1000 volunteer play testers over a period of 10 years so it would be nice for the server to give back something to the wider community for that service.

They keep the titanium hacks secret for good reason to stop cheaters. And there's a point that if everyone sees the database of drops it just makes it easier to automate farming and quest exploitation. So to discourage it its not easy to get. Takes a lot more effort to scrape the wiki. And that doesn't give exact locations pathiing data triggers and tags generally.

More notes:
I bought SoW, but it won't let me scribe it to my spell book because I already have SoW scribed.
When I get an NPC to like 50% health and zone out then zone back in, the NPCs health goes up slowly - on normal EQ once you break agro the NPC health goes up really fast.

Which character is yours? Shamz? I'll fix your SoW spell. I'm surprised there are so many characters already I guess people have been stopping by. I am focused on the "ClassicEmu" project so haven't been updating things on the beta server.

Should be fixed now.

Probably never been so concern about someone in my life than this wall of text guy.

Thanks for your concern.

Thanks! I am not sure when I'll be able to log back on, my laptop died over the weekend. Maybe I can get my desktop to work again, we'll see.
