Not bad actually. Too bad spell crits are complete trash. I think it's only an extra 10% damage? Kinda dumb considering melee crits are like either 50 or 100% more dmg.

Lol my bad I just digged through a lot of old forums where it was basically unanimously agreed to be a myth. No public parse data exists to confirm it was actually like this on live tho so I wonder if it's unique to takp.

Listened to your Dramaquest episode, was a good time. I really liked the idea of de-making TSS and I hope you give that a try. I think SoF could also be de-made (and like TSS would fill in a lot of the classic world's map). Would definitely focus on those two as future projects. TSS at level 65 would work pretty well, going by Vaniki where it was largely quite doable. Would just need to compensate for spell resists (Vaniki obviously messed with those) and the cure spells needed for Lethar that aren't available yet at 65. SoF would be more work for sure but I think it'd be worth it. Always kinda thought Kerafyrm should have been the final boss of the game.
Other zones that might be interesting projects, but would have to be made from scratch:
Antonica
-Unkempt Woods
-The Northland
-The Frigid Plain (I'd really like to see these northern zones actually exist, the Everfrost/Permafrost part of the game is really memorable and needs more to it)
-Winter's Deep
-The Hatchland (A whole expansion could be made out of just the northern reaches of Antonica, really)
-Greenblood River (this could be a Stranglethorn Vale type troll land)
-Clan Deathfist (west of Oasis is a huge unused part of the map that seems like where a mid-level Crushbone-type dungeon was supposed to go for the Deathfist orcs)
Faydwer
-Ranthok's Ridge
-Wayunder Lake (wayunder what? What's lurking in there?)
Odus:
-Whatever Underfoot zone would be off of The Hole
-The Vasty Deep
-The Grand Plateau
-Barren Coast (repurposed from TBS...would be great to see this zone actually have some purpose besides just a flyover to get to that expansion. I'd give it the red sky that TBS started out with on live)
There are a bunch of unused lakes on the map, but I don't know how much can be done with those. Vasty Deep is probably the most interesting, due to it being in an underutilized part of the world and (IIRC) having some lore connections to Qeynos and Erudin. Also Winter's Deep, due to being another northern zone and the bridge between the Everfrost region and the Lavastorm region.
Oh yeah, there's also a structure on the map between Wayunder Lake and Ranthok's Ridge. Not sure what that's supposed to represent:
It's probably Castle Mistmoore, but I don't think we know for sure and it could be something else. Interesting things could probably be done with that whole area as part of an SoF de-make perhaps.

So, for the Quarm holdouts that haven't seen yet... a community member named Salty (no, not THAT Salty. I made sure) made an extension/addon named Zeal that vastly improves the mouselook, adds cycle through nearest targets (PC/NPC), adds a mana EQType to the UI, and more.
The full list of features are below.
The program is also open source on Github, located here:

Thats part of the problem, sure. But unless I missed some news, Im still not neutering my 4090 just to play EverQuest.
dgvoodoo works fine and allows you to use your 4090 w/ everquest.
We also fixed the issue with higher speed AMD CPUs.

Looks great but how about scrolling with the mouse wheel to enter/exit 1st person? Didn't really show that in the video.

thats cool but should it be a part of the quarm official dll. shouldnt you have some type of key exchange so people arent using a modified dll. not saying any of the stuff in this is game breaking but clearly this is demonstrating someone can have unofficial functionality in their client only
That's been the case since the server launch. We've banned double digit players for cheating since launch. Most are respectful. Those that aren't are forcibly removed.

We will be performing server downtime today at 2pm to release Patch 1.6, as well as introduce some 'fun' elements to the game. Estimated downtime is 1 hour.
***Welcome to the Ruins of Old Paineel, also known as The Hole! ***
This zone is being released ahead of Kunark, which is a major departure of EQ's original timeline.
It's our team's personal opinion that the items contained within The Hole aren't significantly powerful, and that releasing The Hole early is quite a treat for folks who are historically used to having to play it in Kunark.
* Most Epic NPCs will be disabled in The Hole ahead of Kunark. Please expect any Epic items that have snuck past our grasp to disappear at some point before Kunark.
* Master Yael is considered a raid target, as is Nortlav the Scalekeeper. Nortlav will spawn in Kunark.
* The Hole (Instanced) has appeared, and the book location will be in its normal location for those familiar with official EQ's Time-Locked Progression servers.
* The Hole (Instanced) is subject to other instanced zone experience penalties.
* The respawn time on The Hole (Instanced) is 18 hours across the board, except for Nortlav the Scalekeeper and Master Yael, who are 2d 18h respawns and are subject to loot lockout for the same duration. Loot can drop in The Hole.
* Most Kunark epic NPCs will be reduced to 15 minute respawn time in The Hole, or spawn more frequently in some way, shape or form.
* Rock golems are notably absent until Kunark.
* The Imbued Granite Spaulders are restricted to Kunark for drops due to their power within the era; however, Druzzil may have moved them to another, alternate timeline until Kunark...
* The undead still wander the caverns of the Ruins of Old Paineel at their original strength. Beware!

From what I was able to piece together:
- players girlfriend upset that gypsies were in game
- player asked to have them removed
- player got bullied in discord for the suggestion
- player had a breakdown
- a staff member called secrets a hypocrite for not taking action, so secrets felt compelled to. there was a long post that more or less said it is their duty to protect all players
- all posts deleted
- bunch of people banned, NPCs/factions/items changed in game, another long post from secrets on the topic. key message "don't fuck with me on racist shit"
- many more posts deleted (including post from 7 and 5)
- some people unbanned because they offered an apology? not really sure, hard to get a real pulse on where this whole thing landed

Just the recently I was called a barbarian for eating meat barehanded, without utensil or plate. It's so hard to hold the tears back; my people have infamously hunted and gathered north of the empire.
