Anyone who says there is no lag from zoning, has never tried to AoE kite in Butherblock. I can tell you when the boat arrives from anywhere in the zone, before it is even visible.

Ok try taking that lag you're talking about, and doing it in any zone when any person zones in/out/levels up

Thanks!

it's VERY hard because the hit boxes are larger than classic .. just keep practicing. practice in eruds crossing with wisps

Diggles can confirmed kite on bard.

had blue freeport locked down on practice run at level 2.

Instead, I died over 75 times to mobs. That's what my logs say anyways, I contend it should be a lot more, though I didn't necessarily ragelog all that much so I guess its close...

It takes a bit of getting used to

But if your pc lags like mine and causes a 180 everytime someones zones in, you might want to set your clock to vampire hours

This is solvable if you have 4GB+ of ram. Run a Ram-Disk load the entire EQ (get rid of non-velious stuff, should be about 2gb in size) into this disk and launch the game from there.

Viola any disk access is the same as ram access i.e. no lag.

Eq was unfortunately designed to stop everything the moment it needed to show/load anything.

Interesting, thanks!

Thought I'd add a how to do this in easy to follow steps:

1) Trim your eq installation or a copy of you installation (if you want to log in to other servers with post-velious material) using Duxa's Installer

2) Get ImDisk, allows you to make a virtual disk from system memory (ram)

3) Create virtual disk with 3GB of system memory, it only uses what it actually uses, 2gb disk can give you low-mem warning.

4) Copy the entire Everquest folder into the new virtual disk, (should take a min or two). Run that EQ version.

5) Remember to copy your UI or other changes as once you shut down your computer the ram copy will disappear.

Side-effects: 1) You will zone insanely fast. 2) You may have to fiddle with UI every time. 3) You have only yourself to blame for kite deaths now.

Yeah windows reserves about 1gig for itself. You will typically hover around 2.8gig used in the task manager. That said if you open too many other apps (browsers can be massive hogs), you will start using the page-file which will grind your computer down to a halt until you close things.

EQ installation 1.96GB, EQ ram usage up to 512MB, system usage anywhere from 300-750MB. You can use classic themes to lower usage, but you shouldn't need to do this.
