A poster from that thread:

Any solution must ensure that all guilds have an unmolested shot at raid targets.

Unless you come up with a way for a casual raid guild to have a 100% unmolested shot at a target, all you've done is create a way for the hackers, sockers, and RMTers to get more targets without addressing the problem.


So much nostalgia.

Lol. Guild poopsocked CT in Fear last night for 6 hours prior to his window opening because they didn't have his correct timer. Can't make that up either.
Pffft, was more like 1 hour. I woke up and reviewed my logs and realized the guy who batphoned couldn't add. The real funny part was when Apok showed up after we left and sat there for hours thinking his window was up too.

In no way is this the classic experience. The moment they even allowed the concept of Krono to enter in, it no longer became about actually killing dragons. In that context, that comment makes total sense, as they're allowing armies of mages to do whatever they want. They need to follow the P99 paradigm: one account per ip.

It's weird how this same shit just happened on Lockjaw too... A guild came in and socked CT for like six hours when CT was not in window. We showed up later and then they left... Like, thanks for clearing fear bro's.

If Necros/Mages were banned at char creation, the 6 months of classic would be cool. Or maybe no pets over lvl 20?

Three things would've make this server a bazillion times better:

1. One household per ip
2. Removal of Krono / cash shop
3. Nerf dmg of pets.

Would've taken a developer less than a day to do all of those things, but Daybreak wants their RMT money, regardless of the health of the game.

Would have been nice to have seen this actually... I'm curious how this would have actually impacted server population? Would have been cool to have a server completely full of actual players.

They said the pets damage was nested too deep within the code. I'm sure they could have put a buff on the server that applied to pet that took a percentage of their damage and then just removed it at the proper time.

EQ's cash shop is nothing like EQII's. EQII's house and appearance stuff is actually very nice. It looks good and the shop is very fluid. Not even sure if any of their EQI stuff is worth looking at...

Simple solution: Remove all pet spells from the server. Create new identically named spells which summon more properly tuned pets and put them in the proper locations etc. May be a lot of "busy" work but it's certainly not difficult. Of course you'd have to have done it before launch, so it's moot now.

Some of the weapons and shields are nice. Some are designed by players. The housing stuff is all weak though.

I would sub if there weren't boxes. I don't hate people that choose to box. I've done it plenty of times. I did it on normal servers when I last played because it was either that or be unable to play when I had the time to sit down and log in. I just don't enjoy it and don't enjoy the impact it has on playing with other people. All of my best memories of EQ are with a group of real players individually doing our utmost to be excellent with limited resources.

I'd heard 3 and felt bad about that - 6 would be even worse.

Still having issues with crashing in OoT, any suggestions? PC is completely freezing, have to reboot each time. Have only had this happen in OoT and the revamped Highpass. Only happens in these revamped zones it seems.

Any TL pals have good screenshots of the Vox poopsock?
I have a good one of Qulas raging at the end telling me to eat a dick in shout.

On a side note, RoI's leadership and members sat their like juvenile kids spamming any possible text they could think of to set off our members audio triggers. I was actually kind of surprised with the way they handled things. Qulas's rage at the end made it all worth it though. I was a little held back when I saw their guild initiate the sock too.

So far we've had Rosengard/TL/RoI sit on raid spawns so far, hows LJ holding out?

Edit - This is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better, I've already seen shadow knight box armies in the making.

If any chanters want to do the solro mask quest, I've got the 3 runes. The quest giver gave them back to me, so someone must have turned in the 3 runes without the mask from guk.

So all you'd need would be the mask to turn in. Assuming we can be online at the same time.
