Fun EQEmu - Retribution

[Ella`Ella]

Hey pals!

Been a while. I wanted to introduce ya'll to a fun EqEmu I found a while back. The name of the server is Retribution and it's a pretty cool twist on actual Everquest with some pretty neat changes. The server includes some pretty non-classic content, but does an excellent job of preserving the actual spirit and feel of classic EQ.

Tomorrow, June 21st, at 8PM EST, Retribution Season 1 will be launching!

Retribution is a custom EQEmu server that has been worked on for over a year and is now ready to launch its first season.

Retribution is a time-locked progression server, starting in Classic and running through Planes of Power, that requires every player to participate in the unlocking of the next expansion for themselves. For instance, everyone is locked to classic for three weeks; after those three weeks, anyone that kills Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox will be allowed to move on to Kunark. Players will not be allowed to move to the next expansion without participating in key raid kills OR finding key “Apocryphal” items.

Apocryphal items are the highest tiered version of an item available on Retribution. The same mobs drop the same items you remember, but they can also drop a Rose Colored (2x stats) and Apocryphal (2x stats + Heroic stats) version, at a lower rate.

Each player starts with pre-selected, class-defining AA, that allow them to fulfill their intended roles immediately, the ability to teleport to the original Bazaar, which acts as the main hub, and access to new, powerful versions of their starting items.

With the access to class defining AA and tens of thousands of new, incredibly strong, albeit familiar pieces of gear, players are expected to clear all progression content with a single group, and therefore players are limited to three boxing + 1 Bazaar mule to encourage community play.

Here are some other key facts about Retribution:

• All wearable items have had their required and recommended levels removed. If you are strong enough to get the item, you are strong enough to wear it.
• All items are tradable, with the strongest Apocryphal versions being attunable.
• Instanced zones exist for every progression raid with a low 22hr lockout.
• Progression instances which have NO respawns allowing for clearing at your own pace.
• Classic versions of many zones have been restored including their original drop tables that include items like Manastone, Moss Covered Twig, Rubicite and Lustrous Russet armor sets.
• Spawn rates decreased to 10 minutes in almost all zones.
• Enhanced Out of Combat Regen
• /OOC and /AUC chat feed our Discord server, allowing for players to chat with their in game friends while offline.
• Level caps match retail OTHER THAN Classic, which is capped at 51 instead of 50 so you can grind AA while farming gear.
• All AA through The Buried Sea are in game and ALL attainable starting at level 51.

Are there any pixel packages available? I might be swayed.
