This server is very amazing and yet very disappointing at the same time

actually ive been fighting off the urge to move back to uthgard for awhile. i miss fighting over a little castle. and i heard they made it harder. no npc hasteners anymore and drops have greatly decreased. now classes like runemaster will be liked even more for their speed buffs. and theres always lots of people on. like 600+

They don't last time I checked and who wants to play daoc anyway? It failed for a reason.

Your right. They made the same mistake SoE did with EQ and made expansions for an already great game. Expansions that eventually killed it.

I got my shaman to level 14 then quit to much EU for me to get into anything at 50. Then I remember how you can't cast shit when a mob is on you rofl. I'd rather stay here or go play wow or somthing.

Sony sold out to make the game easier to get more subs and reach out to non-mmo players. Kinda the same path blizzard is taking now... weird??

Money does strange things to people.

Grouping with boxed players isn't so bad on EQMAC. I even had people drop a boxed toon from a group to let me join in. I just think the player base here would take it to the extreme and do all the bad things.

Good point.

Sad EQ and WoW had the game mechanics to run the mmo world. The only goal both company's had was to reach the top and crush everything below it. Once they got there they had no idea what to do other then branch out to new players to get more subs for more money to work on other games. Soon as the game hits it's peak just sit back and bleed it dry.

I like the idea of this server and it seems very polished. There is a decent enough player base, the website / forum is great, the wiki is fantastic, and the overall quality is spectacular for a free server.

But why not allow more than one character (box) at a time? It's a PVE server after all... I don't see how that would negatively impact anyone's experience... on the contrary it would actually allow people to level up faster, create their own group if they can't find one, and see much of the content of this game either solo or with a friend.

I used to play on the Vallon/Tallon Zek PVP server on EQEmu where they allowed up to two characters at once per player. Me and a friend of mine grouped up and our party of 4 got us to level 50 relatively quickly and we were able to see much of the game's content from 1- 50 just by ourselves. It was a great deal of fun. We would have played it much longer but the PVP aspect of that server really ruined the experience as it attracted a lot of douchey / elitist players.

I thought about coming back and trying EQEmu again and Project1999 seemed like the best option... until I read that you guys don't allow more than one box at a time. WHY!?!?!?!

I rolled a Necromancer and decided to give it a shot anyways, figuring that maybe there wasn't a lot of need to run multiple characters to level up easily. It didn't take long to notice that the exp rates are horrendous. It took 15-20 minutes to grind up to level 2 and after measuring the exp rates a little more closely I estimated that it would take another 1-2 hours and about 120 blue skeleton kills before I would get to level 3.

This is absurd!

We're all drawn here because we want to relive the classic EQ experience, but I think that experience has more to do with the harsh death penalty, lack of maps, lack of compass, etc... not so much the horrendous grind.

I by no means advocate killing 3 mobs and gaining 5 levels or anything like that, but not everyone has the time to dedicate countless hours every week to killing mobs just to level up on this server. I also don't always have time to find and organize groups either and it doesn't seem like you can do much on your own on this server since you are only allowed to play one character at a time.

This guy just comes off as a total retardo

The staff are ON RECORD as stating that two boxing will NEVER, EVER be allowed here.

These threads always turn out the same way, there should be a stickied post telling two-boxing supporters to not waste their energy whining

Yes... since some people don't already horde camps to themselves and camp the same thing solo, or duo or trio over and over and over.

The current anti social behaviors already are here whether you like it or not. People don't play this game to socialize, and if they did then groups of druid, ranger, paladin, bard, troll shaman and troll sk would exist. People only want to interact with others so long as it doesn't impede their progression (via unoptimal classes for group or hybrid/race penalties). Even then, most groups I see here are guild groups, atleast post level 30-40ish. Very rarely do I see PuGs of 50-60s forming.

Cool you interact with the same 30-40 guildmates... not much different than boxer guilds just they do the same stuff with only 15-20 people controlling 30-40 toons.


The server is a group of cliques, merely a larger selection of anti-social behavior imo.

Well stated. The whole "monopolizing camp" argument is b.s., when every high end camp is already monopolized by multiple people playing the same account. In classic, there were THOUSANDS of people online per a server. You could walk through guk or sebilis and not a single mob would be up between you and your group. You could find groups with relative ease. Stop pretending like this server is classic. Boxing plz.
