If anything this change actually makes the server closer to classic, people definitely weren't solo pulling all the tov dragons and killing them at entrance. Now guilds will do what they did back during live, kill the dragons in their lairs.

Classic? Are you kidding? The classic I recall is 1 grouping Sontalak shortly after PoP came out. There was no need to pull him or any other dragon =P Sont has yet to be killed on red cause it's broke as hell. If ToV dragons are perma rooted, good luck getting close to them you obviously no nothing about their AE's. 255 MR and Vyem's AE will still shoot yer shit out into the lava 1 in 4 times. Ary's AE will simply drain all casters of mana, no shaman will get close enough to slow the mob, where do you place the clerics so that they are in range of the main tank w/o having trheir mana sucked dry? Pssh, and that naming only 2 =P Know nothing.

As long as Detoxx plays player agreements will never stick or last.

Ban Detoxx and there will be a near identical rules breaker replacing him in a minute. This has nothing to do with individuals, as hated as they may be, because all those individuals are just acting as the system encourages them to.

Getting rid of Detoxx, or even banning all of Aftermath, will change nothing in the long term (though it would be a nice few months for everyone else on the server). Ultimately as long as the rules/system remains the same, players will continue to act like assholes.

Welcome to the new staff! Look forward to interacting with you all!

Everytime i see a new patch i get super excited, just to be shot down. I appreciate all the work you guys put in but man my bard/sk/paladin are really looking forward to the melee changes, i couldnt give two shits about updated chardok and new tov rules these days. I just want to hop on every once in a while and kill stuff with my nasty 2 handed sword without double attacking a fire beetle for 27 damage half the time.

Some people are great with computers. Some people are not. I am not. I see the word patch and I know I am going to get pisssed off trying to make it work. Log in screen shows a noob ( 0 unknown class ) Unknown zone. ''Please visit project project1999.com and get the latest files from the getting started post''. Ok , easy enough. Rogean's post states ''The latest patch contains new required files. Download and extract the Project 1999 Files ( v47 ) to your EQ Titanium Directory.'' Ok sounds easy .. even has a quick link to the new files. I click link, stare at computer and wonder why nothing has changed. Than I notice a small box in the bottom left corner of the screen..hah version 47..cool. I click it and another screen comes up. Finally I see a button up top that says ''Extract files''...cool , I click it. Now the problems occurs... all I need to do is extract them to the EQ Titanium Directory , sounds easy. I browse and search all over for something named that and find nothing. Nothing is called that. No file in my whole computer is called that. How do I extract the files to the EQ Titanium Directory? Do I overwrite version 46? Do I extract to Everquest P1999 folder? And most importantly why aren't there instructions for something as simple as this? Not everyone is great with computers. What makes it worse is that I have done this process before and cant remember how!!

Sure, I can help with this:

1. Download the Project 1999 Files (V47)
2. Navigate to your Downloads folder (you'll want to empty this before)
3. Right-click and choose "Extract here" (I use 7-zip, but WinRar works great)
4. Copy all the files that were extracted, then navigate to your EverQuest directory (where you installed the game)
5. Paste the copied files in this folder and choose the "replace all files in this destination" option
6. Done!

Thank you guys!

It’s funny because no one who actually could kill the ToV dragons is happy about this. It’s only those who’ve never been up north who are excited that it’s harder for guilds they hate to get NToV loot.

Root all mobs, let’s call it a day. Crush bone crawl!

[heartbrand]

well this is pretty much RIP for ToV on red99
