You have to steal it from EQ imperium

Yeah, I'm thinking we're back

>>2847986
is this more fun than legends?

>>2850110
yes

nvm thought this was the eq legends rebake
annoying grift

>>2850118
it sounds awesome, so everything is the same as classic? traditional spawn points, same faction systems etc?
I haven't played legends yet but reading how dumbed down it was really made me not want to buy it, I still want original EQ but I want the fun twist of multi classing and still exploring the world.

>>2850125
>completely free server hosted by an anon who doesn't even take donations
>grift
brother you paid a box price and sub fee for a half-baked rehash of THJ made by troons. that's the grift

I'm going to give it a try, now when it says all class/races available does that mean you can be any class as any race? so for example I can be a ogre bard or a barbarian shadowknight?

>>2850129
Yep, classic zones and all.
>>2850177
All classes are available, meaning you can be a Berserker and Beastlord right away. Iksar and Vah Shir aren't available because you don't have access to their starting zones until you unlock those expansions. There aren't any non-standard class/race combos.

>>2850246
Ah, still sounds kino I'll be on soon after I finish cooking dinner.
I never played a berserker before I might go with that

remort system sounds needlessly complicated and unfun

>>2850269
What do you find complicated about it?

>>2850147
kek it really is impressive how eql managed to be worse than thj which was already a low bar

>>2850343
NTA but when we remort can we play an off race class combo then or is it still only specific classes for whatever race?

>>2850443
Nope you have to pick a valid race/class combo.

>>2850379
>worse
such as?

EQL just sucks, little lad.

>terrible class balance

>box fees on top of sub fees
>cant even make alts
>microtransactions out the ass

>>2851526
seconding class balance, box+sub fees, no alts and the usual hyperjudaic monetization (like $5 for a SINGLE bag or basic convenience slots for innocuous things)

half the classes are just pointless and of course you have your legion if "i love everquest" boomers who will defend the game with their life if any criticism rears its head; you can't even offer feedback on their discord or forums without being immediately banned for slandering their religious cult icon
basically it's shit now and it's doomed to be shit forever going forward because they've created a position where progress has become impossible by design

Sad thing is I would have loved vanilla EQ with the cool modern/QoL aspects from EQL like classic playable frogloks, dressing room to wear whatever armor, more class/race options etc

EQ classic+ would be kino

server anon make it happen!!!!

>>2852276
I read in the main emu discord that you can get robes on all races in rof2 by copying and pasting EQL's global_chr.s3d and global4_chr.s3d, but I don't have EQL so I haven't tested it. I imagine classic Frogloks will get ported too. Maybe even the whole client.

>>2847986
How do I get the original midi music to play on this client? I tried deleting the mp3's but now I hear no music

>>2853072
nm I got it working

>>2853086
how'd you do it nigga

Started working on GoD. You'll need to kill Quarm to unlock it and it's going to be much harder than Classic to PoP content, balanced around 2x remorts (or groups if you have a friend).

>>2853110
Just delete all of your mp3's and it auto switches to the original midi songs
and make sure your volume isn't set to 0 in the ingame options (mine was)

>>2853359
Also using a midi enhancer program like virtualmidisynth makes them sound better

The only positive thing about this shitshow and its cult success with nostalgic boomers is that i hope it opens up business idea of licensing your server side for third parties to run community servers. A lot of decripit mmos will strongly benefit from that.

>>2859228
bro they shut down a 3rd party server with the same idea to make eql. they arent going to allow any competition

>>2860036
The fuck do you think EQL is if not daybreak licensing out rights to run private server? Ofcourse they will be going after 3rd party that aren't doing business with them. My whole point is that this is a good precedent for legacy mmo license holders to start doing the same. I fucking wish funcom would leased out Anarchy Online, AoC and ogTSW to people who would be willing to run them properly for example.

>>2860689
I can't wait for project rubi-ka to be complete, it's very playable atm but there's still a lot to finish.

So nice playing the game the normal way, no end-less bots, infinite credits, everyone is omega twinked 24/7 etc

>>2861823
Same. Also you can still play OG TSW if you ever had the game/can find a working key. There's like 10 people online at peak, but TSW may as well have been a single player game anyway. People coordinate raids in the Discord.

So is EQL a crash or are people taking tranny discord jew dick up their ass and liking it?

>>2864006
yeah which is why they are charging for every expansion because they know the longevity isnt there lol. its a textbook cashgrab under the guise of "bro we are just like you, the player, we resonate so well with your needs"

>>2864035
Agreed
also I don't think later expansions will do as well because monsters & memories release is going to overshadow them hard.
I think they will have a core group of boomers who stick with it but the majority are just going to never return.

>>2864070
pop and velious will do okay i think. kunark is in a weird spot because theres nothing to do after you get your epic. we all know how polarizing luclin is especially if they dont adjust the hp sponges.
cant really say a whole lot for god and oow because thats usually where theres a huge drop off on the tlps

>>2864070
The issue with mam is that it isn't eq.
Who in their right mind wants to play a game that isn't eq but plays like eq?
That's retarded.

>>2864378
all of the classes are/have been revamped, it's no longer 1:1 EQ like before, thank god.
getting rid of nick from the dev team has been a blessing

>>2864387
i checked the wiki and most shit still looks like eq just with renamed abilities

>>2864466
the wiki is player ran and outdated majority of the time
it still has info for quests from alpha tests from 2 years ago etc

>>2864466
forgot to mention a better example is to look at the dev deep dives they're slowly releasing recently for each class, it explains what's changing as each class is receiving their changes slowly it's not all being revamped in one go.

>>2864387
Yeah instead of 1:1 EQ it's 1 part EQ 1 part WoW

>>2865004
Worse, it is EQ2.

>>2851526
They're literally planning on charging the Goyim for expansions that were released for free as part of all officially sanctioned private servers + the actual base game.

>>2860689
You are a colossal fucking retard, Daybreak aren't licensing shit. Game Jawn are all but a subsidiary of Daybreak and have already admitted it by the fact that Daybreak are handling all monetization in "their private server" directly including micro-transactions. If this was a liscencing agreement they would be allowed to handle their own monetization and would either be paying a commission or liscencing fee as opposed to what's happening now (not mentioning the NDA that officially prevents anyone talking about how the profit is being officially split). My guess is Daybreak took these mentally ill troons/fags and set them up as their patsies so that when they inevitably flip out and nuke the server/there is drama their hands are technically clean + they can take all of the profits with their free Reddit Admin stooges doing the dev work for them.

Yes. Is it crashing or kicking you to character select? If the latter it's because you're making an Iksar or Vah Shir without having those expansions unlocked in your account progression.

you were right, it was the race thing (sorry for skimming over the eqemu page) - oddly enough though, it was actually crashing rather than sending me back to char select

I know this is for a server, but as its similar, is there a good EQL combo of classes for Kerra? They seem more limited than other choices.

>>2922910
surely one could do something with the bard or shaman choices as primary class. warrior is there too. any of those would make a strong foundation.

It's just a regular online private server balanced around solo play, not an offline client. Only real issue you might have is because mob health/damage are neutered so stuff can be managed solo, 2+ players will crush just about everything short of raid targets without much hassle.

>>2925962
>2+ players will crush just about everything short of raid targets without much hassle.
"Group" content is balanced for solo without a bot, yeah, but if you're leveling with a friend you could just kill higher level mobs. Player only groups don't get a group XP bonus either; they just split the mob's XP evenly. A bot in the group incurs a 50% XP penalty on top of the split. Mob scaling is coming for 3+ player/bot combatants in raid zones.
>>2927049
XP is eqemu default (already way faster than P99), but you're soloing mobs meant for groups so leveling is a nice pace.

>Bots were ignoring discipline stacking rules AND timers completely. This means they were able to have all of the disciplines available to them at their level running at the same time **permanently**. This was a stock eqemu bug that has now been fixed.
>Harm Touch and Mana Burn/Blast can now only be applied once per encounter from any source. The blocker is only cleared when the mob's HP is full again, regardless of how it gets there. Attempts to cast these abilities on a blocked mob don't trigger a cooldown or in the case of manaburn consume any mana.
>>For example, if Player A is a Wiz/SK remort and casts HT on Grummus then attempts to cast Mana Blast that will be blocked with a message telling the player why. If Player A commands his bot to cast HT/Mana Blast that is also blocked. If Player B attempts a HT/Mana Blast, that too is blocked.
>>If engagement is broken the blocker isn't lifted until Grummus' HP is back to full. If a boss enters a second phase that resets its HP bar, the blocker is lifted. If a boss is healed back to full the blocker is also lifted.
