Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

any of my FoH bros willing to come buff my newb ass in Greater Fey? Names Mendiin

what should I twink a bard with? level 7

It was great originally. The stats might not have been all that good but everything looked really cool, and we still didn't know all the drops.

VP suffers heavily from bad itemization. Anything you kill can drop multiple of a thing including trash common items or class specific items no one needs on top of some of the dragons really only having one or two chase items to begin with. Server first Silverwing was three druid staffs and some spells. Weapons fucking plague their loot tables in an era where almost everyone's epic is the way to go.

Didn't VP have some nutty death penaltys ot smth originally? Its like the only pre GoD raids i never did.

So initially the word from on high was that GMs wouldn't help you out if things got fucky on top of no key ring. If everyone died terribly inside well then good luck getting back in.

So far got bullied out of 2 camps by TEB just rolling in for VP keys. They don't even say anything anymore, just come in 6-12 deep and sit there and the dps race you until you leave.

Cancer to the server.

Retail EQ is the cancer

How do you use the old race models? (fat ogres etc)

VP, and Kunark in general, is by far the worst of all eras of EQ raiding. It's almost the exact same formula as VT in Luclin but unlike VT shards most of the VP pieces are single spawns/PHs per pick. And all of that effort is to get to a zone where there's about 4 pieces of loot worth wearing in the next same-level expansion and half the dragons aren't worth killing Day 1 of expansion.

Imma just chill on an iksar necro SSF and "miss" this era I think, Omens on Mangler more appealing than running across EJ/TT for the 60 trakanon batphones.

Kunark isn't about the raiding, that's where SoV shines. Kunark is about how goddamn much the leveling process is opened up and expanded over original EQ. That's exactly why all TLPs should at least start with Kunark enabled, especially since TLPs are always a shitfest when it comes to the initial leveling portion. Mob density sucks absolute cock in OG EQ, except in a few zones (which, no fucking duh, are the zones everybody is fucking packed into). Kunark expands that so fucking much and places like Chardok, Seb, and to a lesser extent HS are littered with mobs. In fact, most dungeons in Kunark are loaded with mobs (Karnor's is actually one of the exceptions to this IMO. That zone is small as fuck when you really think about it). Then you have the outdoor areas which are just as nice and you aren't spending fucking 10 minutes between pulls like you do in old world outdoor areas (what few of them there are that aren't ultra-concentrated in the level 10-30 range. OOT is about the only "high-level" outdoor zone available in old-world, unless you want to count shit like PoFear).

Luclin basically does the same thing as Kunark and blows the fucking doors off the leveling path again by expanding it. It also suffers from a shitty raiding game but unlike Kunark, it has garbage high-level dungeons (some of the lower-level dungeons aren't as bad).

Any FoH able to throw mid 30's bard some hand me downs? Managed to buy a smoldering brand pre-kunark and was gifted a SSB. Pimpin it with that atm! Oh and I totally forgot what leveling in Dreadlands was like, its been forever. And....it hasn't changed.
