Zek is not Everquest. Red with the 6000 % exp isn't even Everquest. The fact that some people can't level effectively without disgusting bonuses or insta gear makes a huge fucking difference. I mean if you want to play custom caca that's fine, but it's not really Everquest. Don't sell it as Everquest cause it's not fucking Everquest. I loved Everquest and I loved counter strike. They aren't the same fucking game. EQ pvp is best when it plays out naturally. Like I zoned into misty to camp that orc camp. Oh what's this there is a fucking halfcuck warrior here. Let me wait until 3 or 4 spawns so he thinks I am just some lower level poop hunting bats and jump him at 20% health midfight.

You can say just some boots but the items on that server are ridiculous. It isn't like a normal server that dev/image give someone a +3 str +10 hps boots to get started. They have massive hps, shielding, resists and effects. It is really bad. The only balancing they do is adding in random +100-200 hps items to compensate for terrible design. That is a really bad way to run a server.

If they stick to classic/kunark I think they will be more successful but they also need to tone down how emotional they are and be less accessible to the community. Any rumors that they give items away to people hurt the server and it sounds like no one will contest that they have summoned some items and given out some favors.

I joined one of there servers a couple years ago and was leveling up. Then a group of players logged in, cried about having to start all over because they had played on the servers before and got dev/image to summon them max level chars with full planar loot, diamond rods for casters and full spell book. Then everyone else complained so they gave everyone that was already playing 1-2 max level chars. In this case it was even but it shows how emotional and naive the devs can be when players they know complain about stuff. They ruined a server they had worked on for months in a couple seconds with bad decision making.

it wasnt just some boots. as short lived as it was, one guy was cross-pelling (i'm sure you are familiar with the custom dispell mechanics on that box, team can remove negative debuffs without stripping buffs) with an instant click. he got called out on it pretty quick, within a week and he said he wouldn't use it anymore by his own free will.

He insists he got this item from a boss mob in a custom zone, but I have screenshots that prove otherwise.

i also have evidence that the server is soft on hackers, bans the wrong people for hacking (this is no surprise to Colgate and others, as we've seen this for years), and busts other hackers red handed multiple times while they maintain top 10 on the leaderboard and just get a "stern talking to" by devnoob.

Quake didn't have this level of cheating and corruption so I disagree with that comparison. It is not quake with elves.

Based upon the beta change log below, what would be considered a bug on the server versus working as intended?:

What is the consensus on what players would want in a new server?
I've been considering hosting a permadeath, full item drop server with modded abilities to balance classes as needed.
Leveling would be relatively fast and capped at 40 or 50.

Do players generally strive for the classic eq pvp servers? Or willing to stray a bit.

- No xp loss
- Item loss (1)
- No loot sets to offset item loss harshness (where the sets are average and the best gear stays droppable) The halloween event of 2001 is a good template for both event and no drop loots. Maybe a starter set, mid 20s early 30s set and end game set.
- Less focus on duel type events and instead events which players can fight over, organically (again halloween 2001 is a good template)
- If you have to have yellow text, no location disclosed
