WHAT IS RETRIBUTION?
Retribution is a free to play, customized private EQ server, and is not, nor claims to be affiliated with Daybreak Games.
Retribution allows players to relive forgotten memories of their Everquest conquests in nuanced ways through a unique mixture of rule-sets, quests, and items.
WHAT IS THE RULESET?
All players start in Classic EQ and can progress through Planes of Power by killing raid bosses or collecting certain items from each expansion. Progression is account based, meaning YOU have to participate to unlock each expansion for yourself.
WHY IS RETRIBUTION UNIQUE?
Each player starts with selected class defining AA, the ability to origin to the ORIGINAL bazaar (with a working arena), and access to new, powerful versions of their starting weapon.
Enemy strength, exp, and loot tables are all as you remember them… for the most part. As you relive memories of camping your favorite pieces of gear and slaying your favorite enemies, you will also begin to remember how strong you really were as you find rare versions of all wearable items are available. Like our memories, all gear can be found as Rose Colored (1.5x Stats) or Apocryphal (2x Stats + Bonuses).
With the access to class defining AA and tens of thousands of new, incredibly strong, albeit familiar pieces of gear, players may be able to clear most content with a single group, and therefore will be limited to three boxing + 1 Bazaar mule.
OTHER NOTABLE KEY FACTS ABOUT THE SERVER:
All wearable items have had their required and recommended levels removed.
All items are tradable, with the strongest Apocryphal versions being attunable.
AoC’s (instanced raid content) exist for every raid zone with a low 22hr lockout.
Classic versions of many zones have been restored.
Enemy and named spawn rate increased.
