They'd put you in jail for linking [Squirrel].

Really too bad it turned into a Brazilian ladyboy fund for Woldaff after they left.

Yep, now even people on the new server do the Squirrel shit in OOC. We didn't know how good we had it.

Ultimately, the game went in the shitter when Woldaff and Slaariel held the Admin positions hostage and ran off all the talented devs (Marza). Woldaff's semi-annual appearance from the ether to nerf a bunch of shit and disappear again took a toll on everyone.

Still, Shards of Dalaya was the alpha EQEmu game, with custom content, lore, and encounters totally untouched by anything else in the scene, in terms of both sheer amount of encounters/lore and the quality of it all.

I mean, they turned Skyshrine into a 7-tier spanning raid zone with all custom Lore and secret dragons in disguise. *chefs kiss*

I played on SoD for about 6 months in 2005-2006. Frauzen the cleric and my 2box was a Warrior that ended up with a title - Lequox the Nuisance.

I really enjoyed that server, wish I could remember more of my time there.

That's awesome you got a title, back in the early days things like titles and race changes were actually possible since there was Dev interaction. My shaman was turned into a Dark Elf.

Fomelo confirms your story :] https://shardsofdalaya.com/fomelo/fo...hp?char=Lequox (and mine)

It was such a blast in the early days when we had 600 people online, and dozens of people contributing in their own little way. It's really a testament to what a passionate community can create.

A few months ago they started a new fresh Dalaya server with new admins if you're interested. https://dalaya.org/

Cheers Azeth, hope you're doing well.

Prison was a remarkably well-developed zone. Marza did it right? I hold Outer Sanctum and acquiring a Masalavir for my ranger to be the pinnacle of my EQ experience. I was fortunate enough to join Pheonix Rising as an applicant just before things went to shit. I experienced that sweet spot when players like Nuchre and Lleoc were in the same guild, before everything fell apart, and had to raid with Sema, Jarh, and Vitali in Chaotic Winds and be in a guild that exploited Forest Gloom to keep up with Exodus in Spire.

Servers are maxed out in both paccific and eastern during prime time.

Not bad. Looks like Pantheon's back on the menu!

Just checked out a unity 6 demo.
They got 3d graphics engine covered.
Many scripting lingos are in widespread use. Perl, lua and go to name 3.

The eqemu devs have cobbled together a great hook system that allows even dumbies like me to make indepth quests/encounters possible, my mediocre skillz not withstanding. Better peeps would yield better results.

It seems to me that it's ideas that are lacking in this game.

Here is a model proposal. Release an API that hooks into their game engine with various lvls of access.

Need tradeskill recipe ideas? Give a speci sheet out outlining the goals of tradeskills. How strong they should be. How difficult they should be etc. No access to combat manipulation, factions etc.

Release that and pay (or freeplay options for) open source devs with actual imaginations to make them. NDA's etc blah and blah. Then release that.

Zone design?
Speci sheets. Frigsample, Make like eq unrest. Make like zoneA in wow.
Come up with something new! Losely based on:
Aquatic. Underground. Desert. Tundra. Alien.

Quest ideas? See hook system above. There are alot of DMs out there with shit hot ideas. Then they may release more than 6 zones and a few concepts of a plan for classes.
