SoloQuest (EQ)http://discord.gg/Ct3HFSHZBj>ClientYou'll need to get a copy of the RoF2 client. It's not as widely available as it once was, but if you google "EQ rof2 download" you should find it.Download and extract the server's zone and client files into your main EQ directory: https://mega.nz/file/jERTiJTJ#hGN4fu1DmpidmidL3TvaNWI22ZX0kwTvP2ZAtWzfh9IAlso, delete or rename bazaar.eqg, lavastorm.eqg, nektulos.eqg, and highpasshold.eqg>ServerHost=login.eqemulator.net:5999 in eqhost.txtMake a forum account at eqemulator.org. That will be your login account.Find SoloQuest in the server list and connect.As you can guess by the name, it's EQ re-balanced for solo play with a hardcore mode and multiclassing via the remort system. There are a lot of changes and you can read about them all here: https://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverinfo&worldid=4400
>>2847986You have to steal it from EQ imperium
Yeah, I'm thinking we're back
>>2847986is this more fun than legends?
>>2850110yes
nvm thought this was the eq legends rebakeannoying grift
>>2850118it 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>griftbrother 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?
>>2850129Yep, classic zones and all.>>2850177All 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.
>>2850246Ah, 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
>>2850269What do you find complicated about it?
>>2850147kek it really is impressive how eql managed to be worse than thj which was already a low bar
>>2850343NTA but when we remort can we play an off race class combo then or is it still only specific classes for whatever race?
>>2850443Nope you have to pick a valid race/class combo.
>>2850379>worsesuch as?
>>2851526EQL just sucks, little lad.
>>2851931trvke
>>2851526>terrible class balance>idiotic people in charge>box fees on top of sub fees>cant even make alts>microtransactions out the ass
>>2851526seconding 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 iconbasically 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 etcEQ classic+ would be kinoserver anon make it happen!!!!
>>2852276I 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.
>>2847986How do I get the original midi music to play on this client? I tried deleting the mp3's but now I hear no music
>>2853072nm I got it working
>>2853086how'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).
>>2853110Just delete all of your mp3's and it auto switches to the original midi songsand make sure your volume isn't set to 0 in the ingame options (mine was)
>>2853359Also 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.
>>2859228bro they shut down a 3rd party server with the same idea to make eql. they arent going to allow any competition
>>2860036The 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.
>>2860689I 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
>>2861823Same. 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?
>>2862007It was always just a cash grab. They certainly grabbed some cash, but it's already crashing. https://everquestguides.com/legends-population/
>>2861823I have a some issues with PRK. Namely their refusal to run the latest AO patch and weird stance on multiboxing that ironically incites multiboxing.
>>2862457>but it's already crashingkek no, they'll all be back to pay for kunark
>>2862457Wow it's worse than I thought. That's an insane drop.
>>2860689they arent licensing anything. its just daybreak getting retards like secrets to likely work for free so his shitty private server doesnt get shut down
>>2863387>some come back>get all the loot in 1 week>crash againa good indicator is quarms population now they will be at 50-200 range in no timeif you make EQ too easy the longevity just isn't there anymore
>>2864006yeah 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"
>>2864035Agreedalso 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.
>>2864070pop 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
>>2864070The 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.
>>2864378all 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
>>2864387i checked the wiki and most shit still looks like eq just with renamed abilities
>>2864466the wiki is player ran and outdated majority of the time it still has info for quests from alpha tests from 2 years ago etc
>>2864466forgot 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.
>>2864387Yeah instead of 1:1 EQ it's 1 part EQ 1 part WoW
>>2865004Worse, it is EQ2.
