Why did EQclassic fail? The guy Yeahlight seemed to be a fucking retard though.

I did like the idea of a true classic EQ with classic UI music etc etc. Obviously, I think it would need a bump in exp, but would put everybody on even ground when it came to UI configs.

His story is that he would only release it if Sony hosted the servers for EQClassic and they laughed at him.

Most likely, he couldn't get things finalized or realized he couldn't deliver, so he closed up shop.

Making good strides!

After adding various era-based content items, I started classicizing Veeshan's Peak last night. VP presents some interesting issues that I wanted to get a grasp on.

Thank god we have p99 as a reference for some of the more terse issues like this.

While setting up racnars I noticed they didn't assist one another, so after some research I found that assists on the primary VP faction were disabled. Good to know. I poked around and deciphered the faction system in eqemu, I think!

Next is the issue of wurms. Wurms in VP present a number of variables. Some wurms are supposed to see invis, some wurms are supposed to have 1 of 4 different spell effects (fear, coldnuke/dispell, fire DD, AE frontal cone thing?), and wurms hit for 300, 700, or 1500.

One solution to this is to create 24 different versions of the wurm npc, each having a different combination of the effects and then setup a spawn group with the requisite probabilities. This sounds like a fucking nightmare, so I decided to stick with a single NPC type and just attach a quest to it that causes these attributes to be (somewhat) randomly selected.

Dragons present some challenges too. It appears that by default dragons with a lingering debuff (like Hoshkar, Nexona) won't recast their AE if the debuff remains on their target. I can get Hoshkar to cast his AE every 12 seconds using a quest script, but I figure there's an easier fix for this issue.

We are inching forward! Come visit us at http://classiceverquest.org if you'd like to join our dream team.

Well, it's really just about math. You see:

# of people who want to play Luclin or Planes of Power = at least half this server's population
# of people who want to play Jeremy's CustomQuest = Blondeattk
