i only had a handful of groups levelling up my paladin here, but i didn't really look too hard. there's levelling groups around though, if you're proactive. soloing my pally to 50 wasn't too tough, so either one is an option.

i currently am levelling up/boxing a necro alt, using one monitor. its not too tough, though i think my alt+tab keys are maybe getting worn out. =p

Sorry bros I tried.
You probably need to be in the same zone as them and possibly have them targeted as well.

Back on tangent, how tough is it to group here? I haven't boxed in years, which was part of the appeal of P99. I really stopped that after DAOC as I wasn't enjoying playing 3 characters at once. I wouldn't mind doing it to level, but I like to play during the day with one of my 2 monitors set on my work stuff. How feasible is it to multibox with one monitor?
I think boxing 2 on 1 monitor isn't bad, due to the nature of alt+tab, but 3 seems cumbersome.
Grouping is only getting better, with the rise in population.

Meh, as it is every time I go to play EQ again, having a tough time deciding what to box. I know we can box up to 3 but honestly I think i'll stick to only 2 - 3 just makes it a headache for me, personally. Probably going to go Necro/Mage and a Wizard for easy transportation. Or cheese it up and do the obvious tank/healer combo. Hrmmm.

re: Wizard for transportation --

there are NPCs that will port you between all the starter cities for free, and druid/wizard NPC porters in EC that will port you to all rings/spires for some plat.

ISBoxer is excellent for multi or single monitor. Extra clients are minimized where you want them - along the side, bottom or top edge if single monitor and swap with the main client window just by clicking on them.

i'm not sure though, can anyone confirm/deny?

Clip from server rules:

Third Party Programs

MacroQuest is permitted for TWO purposes. The map and /stick.
ISBoxer is permitted for the screen set up
>>Any use of MQ or ISboxer to control toons is NOT ALLOWED This means using EQBC or the like (or ISBoxer) to broadcast key strokes to other monitors while your not on that monitor is strictly forbidden. We ask that players maintain a fair and even atmosphere, and remember, its 3 toons max. If you need to broadcast keys for 3 toons then you really need to rethink things :p<< This provision is under review. Will update after Developer discussions
Keep in mind this is coming from a 24 boxer from other servers. I love boxing, but good knowledge of these programs can give you a massive advantage over others. MQ2 and ISBoxer are allowed for their Quality of Life experiences only.

Extended Enhancement extends Lesson, not sure if it does the same on live but a lockjaw hide tunic adds 5 minutes onto my Lesson which is quite nice.

Using the live->backpatch method I did need to turn off advanced lighting in the advanced display options. I think it was clashing with the way that clip plane fog is displayed. Basically at the edge of vision when clip plane fog begins, my character was surrounded by a solid black bubble. Turning off advanced lighting made that go away.

Inspect Buffs leader AA doesn't seem to work, but Target of Target does. I've seen spell awareness from someone else, so that should work.

You can also delegate MA, Puller, MT, etc. in group as the leader and then align those with the XT's target and target of target features. Anyone given main assist will put a special ring around the feet of their target, arrows surrounding the target's name, and the % of current mob health within the arrows. This is probably client dependent, but it has nothing to do with leadership AA as far as groups go.

Raid leadership seems to accrue much faster than live, so I'm hoping someone gets delegate MA and target of target for raid leadership soon. I'm only at 4 points of raid leader AA so far, mostly from fear trash.



A very few players have had weird issues with their XT windows, and this may be due to the allegedly sloppy way how raids are coded on emulator servers. I've googled the issue and come upon a discussion of that sort. If your XT gets bugged out you can resolve it through your character's .ini file.

There are also problems with raid invites, but sometimes zoning resolves the invite issues. It's generally easier to invite single players than groups when you're being affected by the inviting glitches. So rather than have bugged leaders/members re-log trying to fix it, have the members disband from their group and be raid invited individually.

The best RL AA by far is health of targets target. After that delegate main assist and mark npc.

You guys seem to be having fun so I will be starting up on this server as a Bard with an SK and Cleric box. I really just want to see any the content again without poopsocking or huge time investments because you know, I'm no in my early 20's without a life maintain anymore. I was in Echoes of Elysium for a short time but I really looked down upon Damdor and what he was doing to that server and I'm glad to see TMO got called out on in this week too. See you all in game in a few days!
