New world.
Everything is KOS. SWARM commences 30min from server uptime or random interval of server admin choosing. You level when you kill and/or survive, top 5 in zone left = a whole level (based on mob/player kills).. Max level 50.. if you make it to 50 you get a shard... once someone hits 51, server/zone reset Randomizes you into new zone, harder sht. Shards buy cool sht that will carry when server/zone (custom clickies anyone). NPC's will have randomized spell tables, agro ranges, and hp/mana.

Once your character has 50 shards banked.. ported to harder area... boss mobs perhaps?...content fun, new, different.

How outside do we want haha, im sure therr are some straight out crazy ideas. I like the swarm theory, JC has always been pretty creative.

Jesus, if someone made that server, I'd sell my left testicle.

New world 2
I've always like a "sick" world where there is a source that needs to be eliminated.
I also like the idea of this sickness to impact all players.. aka All your spells are weakened until the server as a whole is cleansed of the threat.. /plaguestatus "60% contained" As players level, zones are eradicated then at various intervals you can spawn bosses based on player level to regain %'s associated with your personal spell lines.
Plenty of ideas.. ;)

I just want a server where every mob drops 100% random loot. A decaying skeleton could drop a bat wing, or the top tier raid item. That with some stat scaling, and maybe some randomly generated loot.

Nothing too crazy, but that's what I enjoy.

Karana Reborn runs a 3% script that randomizes loot as you're describing.
In fact alot of servers also use the Diablo script from what i recall..

I did it better with PERL.

Mine was actually RANDOM drops, each kill. LOL

Nothing ever dropped the same shit twice.

Never did put up that server I spoke about.. "You Win", I guess the NPC was as close as I would get to doing that.

custom perma death servers are fun.

God damn troll server would be hilarious.

sprinkle3 10-25-2017 11:42 AM

sounds like population would peak at 5

meanwhile agnar and phinny peaking at 10k +

people like progression servers, most people are playing on these emus because they get 1 expansion per year

most of us gamers are older, I would like another EQTitan or PEQTGC that starts at classic/kunark/vel or luclin and stays there for at least a year before pop

pop is so played out

AUD, but if you wait for the correct month it could turn out to be a little more than .76 of the usd.

Sorry, you get a slab of beer as rejuvenation.

I am obviously too late for this discussion, but, I am sort of back to Emu and finally plan to put my server plans to work.

The idea is a 100% ultra-custom server, that is sort of EQ in Vision (or rather my vision of EQ), but completely remade in all of the content, from new world map to new classes. Its a grand scale project, so don't expect anything remotely complete for at least a year from now. However I plan to open the server for public testing as early as the Alpha stage so people can poke it with burning needles and I will tell them where it hurts ;)
Difficulty wise, it will be NO-Box NO-Bot server, that will offer solo, group and raid (2x group) content. Most importantly it will be a server where new content done from level 1, giving you an opportunity to be "that EQ noob" for a bit again when you have no idea where to go and what to expect. ;) While some of the modern quality of life improvements will be present (no pointless time sinks), there will be 0 hand-holding. This will be plenty of BIG quests, but they will be ambiguous as hell ;) This will be a very slow progression server, but there will always be something to do, so you always feel that your character is advancing, even though you don't fly trough levels.

Stay tuned ;)

PS. To have a quick idea what type of content to expect you can see sample of my previous work on THF server in the Alternative Progression line.

Say links are such an abomination.

I like to not have people know wtf to say to an npc, and also provide 50 different conversations based on keywords.

Not click dis so I don't read lore.

but ya, lazy af.

I partially agree with you, but there is two sides to this coin



How it was in vanilla EQ:

Player A: "Hail NPC Bla!"
NPC Bla: "Hail Player A! Nice weather today, but I fear it will rain soon and left my [umbrella] at home"
Player A: "What umbrella?"
no response
Player A: "Where is your umbrella?"
no response
Player A: "Where is your house?"
no response
Player A: "Why is it going to rain?"
no response
Player A: "Can I help you in some way?"
no response
Player A to OCC: "Ok npc Bla doesn't give me quest what do I have to say?"
OOC: "You have to say 'I will go to your home to your wife and get your umbrella from her'."
Player A: "Fuck..."


How players play WoW today:
Play A walks to NPC - click-click-click- accept quest
Player A runs to X mark on the map. Kill everything in sight, but don't get any quest updates.
Player A to OOC "Quest X is broken. I killed all goblins here and no quest update"
OCC : "Did you collected the flower?"
Player A "What flower????"
OCC: "Did you read the Quest???"


In conclusion say links are needed so #1 doesn't happen. But quests themselves should still require reading comprehension so you HAVE to read them to understand what you actually need to do. ;)

Thats a good way to define this game as it is now. One side of the coin has the "old school" die hards that are pretty much
"set in their ways" and don't like change. The other side of the coin is filled with the modern "been there done that, don't
want to do it again" gamers. But that's the best part about this project, it can accomodate both sides, for the most part.
It's really a matter of what the individual player finds "exciting" in a good game of EQ. Some would enjoy the challenge of
trying to figure out a new quest or discover the unknown. Some may think it boring to log on to any server, knowing
there is nothing they can offer that they haven't seen or done before. Myself, I would find it extremely difficult to come
up with something more exciting, unless one wipes the "Everquest" right out of EQ. But even Super Mario has evolved over
the years. For me it works out like the sequels in a movie series. The first movie rocked my world, but as usual, the sequels
(2, 3, 4 ....) started to suck bad and got too carried away. (Think Smokey and the Bandit), lol
Just the other day, I fired up an old game, the original Halo game. I don't remember a damn thing about progressing through
it, but that's a good thing. I get to figure it all out again :)

That's not part of the actual code, though.

TIL! Thanks :)



"A common misconception is that the code ends with Start or Select Start. In many titles, the player must press Start after entering the code in order to start a game, or press Select to switch to two-player mode and then start the game, leading to the confusion."

New World: Faction Winning.
Each zone has a king/queen you need to fight/uest for to control that territory. But you'd have competing guilds/players doing the same thing in each area. You'd need to use leaderboard code and create new factions for each zone, etc.
Beyond winning the zone/area you build and dominate the entire world.. also makes others KOS to areas as they enter. NPC's will scale upon zonein.
Vendors/bosses become available to you as you unlock/faction up areas. You'll need some handicap randomizer to help lower level factions catch up.

think u get the point... ..sigh i wish my kids were older so i could fire up a new server.. haha
