Using $name when its npc vs npc creates a problem;

" guard_soandso_001 You've ruined your lands. You'll not ruin mine!" the 001 looks out of place.

I was only using it as a placeholder. I didn't really use $name.

Guard Bob shouts, "Angelox, you have ruined your own underpants, you shall not ruin mine!"

Before I picked a server I checked out each one with anyone logged in that I could talk to. They all seemed fun but all were different.

I chose the peq server 'grand creation' because I wanted to play the game something like the way it was when I played it. And it is pretty close but there are many differences. To name a few: The #peqzone command is enabled for players allowing access to almost any zone quickly. When you die you are returned to your game starting point with all of your equipment and cannot be rezzed. No mob flees when low on health though casters do gate. Aggro has a different feel to it... etc.

Many who play EQEmu multibox. Often this helps because at times there may be very few actual people playing there and access to the different buffs makes things happen. On peq I think warrior/monk/shaman.. maybe a cleric too are a good combo.
