Imperium Server - Solo Level/Duo Raid
 

The Imperium Server is online now. It is an individual progression server meant for soloing to play through and 2-6 people to progress through raids.

Features:
- 100M Fiber Connection, 64G RAM
- Individual Progression
- Fast XP and AA
- Gear stat increase
- AA increases
- New NPCs, teleporter bot, merchants, augments to assist in raids, and a gambling merchant to acquire additional rare items
- Artifacts and rare items can drop from any monster (~1/200 chance).
- Raids adjusted for 2-6 players
- Bots enabled, mercenaries disabled. 6 person max raid size and group size, 2 bots maximum spawned in per person.

The server is setup for progression through raiding. In order to get into Sebilis, you must kill either Lord Nagafen, Lady Vox, or Venril Sathir. Upon their deaths, a ghost will spawn and drop keys you must turn in to the quest NPC in the guild lobby. Each tier has one or more bosses that drop keys to progress to the next tier. It is similar to how planes of power worked. Details are provided by Vinz in the guildlobby.

Raid bosses have been balanced to be able to be killed by 1-4 players. If you fight them without gearing up first, it will take 4-6. If you are geared, 1-2 with a healer bot can take most of them down. All scripts have been adjusted through planes of power to make it possible to win the fights with a few people.

Items have had stats increased across the board in a formulaic fashion. Each tier of raiding will have more and more powerful gear, required to be able to beat the next raid tier. AAs have also been added to make you more powerful.

Here is the link to the dbstr_us file that needs to be copied to your Everquest folder (for underfoot client):

this sounds EXACTLY like what I have been looking for!!! I cant wait to log in and check it out!!!

Is there a gate item for melee anywhere?

saw it up for a bit but disapeared

quick question: is there an IP limit on your server?

No gate item, but I lowered the throne of heroes reset time to 10 minutes, #zone is available, and there is a translocator bot in the guildlobby.

IP limit allows 2 accounts from one IP. I didnt want large box groups taking over the server, and it's tuned for a couple people to play through, at most with bots helping. It gets too easy fast with more than 4-5. I went through everything until time and tuned it with a friend to be beatable with 2 (some with added bots)

no that's cool! just making sure. was gonna try and 3 box, but its good to know that I wont have to :P

was good at first, but other than a handful of specific zones nothing is locked out progression wise. Why level properly when you can #zone to rof/ro zones and do 50-65 in 30mins?

Best of luck, but that kind of thing is no fun for me.

Screwed up on that one and didnt check the expansions flag, thought it defaulted to PoP. Fixing it right now, as well as the performance issues.

Not sure what your max level was already level 70s and people had underfoot weapons and such. So what is max content,level,etc supposed to be?

Max level is 70, content is supposed to cap out at LDON. I adjusted the expansions and got most of the zones locked out - I will go over them again tonight so next restart it should be fixed. (Right now 90% of additional zones are locked out)

I plan on expanding it later, but since I have to playtest each raid with 2 players, it takes awhile to balance.

is there a spell file that we need for the server as well? as it stands, I use the UF client and I am getting a few "Unknown Spells" when I scribe my spells. Is there one I should be using, and where could I get it?

The unknown spells are not custom spells (there are no custom spells on the server, the only change to any spell was to make ice comet do a little bit more damage), just newer spells than UF has in its file. Im going to copy the RoF clients spells file to my UF client and see if that helps.

What spells are causing that for you?

I don't know, hence why I brought it up :P I cant see any spell info. the spell "scribes" as unknown and its effects are unknown as well.

Also, noticed the new buyable charms, and the coward has evacuate, but the Heroes charm is an unknown effect as well. so there is a reference :P

Nm on this, it's MY spell file (pretty sure it's the EZ server spell file)...I have to find the UF or other compliant spell file...

ok, so have the correct spell file now, but still having an issue that I didn't post previously but have noticed on other emu's as well:

Spells like Spirit Salve (39 Shaman heal spell) and Kragg's Salve (49 Shaman heal spell, and just guessing this wont work either) keep giving the message that "Target is out of Range" even though you're right on top of them in some instances. was there ever a fix for this? I remember servers like storm haven and hidden forest having fixes for this, and was possibly server side / spell file based as well...

That's not server specific...

Got Stucked by Zoning into #zone 385 and crashs after few times can u pick u my char Blast to lobby plz

so what is it specific to then?

The default spells_us.txt for all servers has 0 range on these spells, when 100 would be what they should be. I'm not sure if servers have a spell table (been forever since I messed with that part on my own), but that'd need a change too if it was still there. Every new server will have that unless/until it changes from whatever the repo has.

server is down......................

/\ This...

I have enjoyed the server so far............not seen any GMs on in 2 days....I wonder if it will even come back up :)

yepp :-/ .....

ahhh alright, so it *technically* is server-side...good to know! but all of this is moot unless the server comes back up which *might* not happen considering the holidays coming up...but we'll see...

Server is back up, LDoN disabled. It keeps crashing the world server everytime someone starts a LDoN adventure with bots out. Sorry about the issues.

Youre in shadeweaver, should be able to login.

Ive been on every day, just slower right now due to the holidays (been hidden recently while working on quests)

Im going to see about giving guide powers out to some more people and give them my contact info so I can get the server back up if it crashes again - but hopefully disabling LDoN fixes that.

sounds good man, thanks for getting it back up

Can you post a spell file? I have a lot of missing spells

I can't, but I would try a copy from the rain of fear client. It should have the missing descriptions.

Yepp used at char screen the option return to home that fixed my problem :-)

Some Guide about the Progression would be cool

Right now progression works like this:

Unlock Sebilis (Kill Nagafen or Vox or Venril Sathir)
Unlock Veeshans Peak (Kill Trakanon)
Unlock Kael/ThurgadinB/Skyshrine (Kill Phara Dar)
Unlock Temple of Veeshan (Kill Dain or Tormax or Yelinak)
Unlock Sanctus Seru/SSRA Temple (Kill Vulak`Aerr)
Unlock Vex Thal (Kill Lord Inquisitor Seru or Emperor Ssraeszha)
Unlock Plane of Tranquility (Kill Aten Ha Ra)

Today you can bypass part of it because #zone is active. Next patch (tomorrow or sunday) all of POP will require flags and you can no longer #zone into them to flag without following progression.

Once I finish testing the plane of time I will look at unlocking more expansions, and expanding on the progression.

You can also purchase your way past some of it if you want to, but it's very expensive.

Hail the keymaster and right click the gatekeeper for more information

server down.............

Someone somehow started a LDoN adventure with bots out, I thought I had removed the NPCs quest options to start one. Trying to figure out how it was started.

You can go ahead and remove mud shield.

Thank me later.

It's been severely nerfed, I gotta test it after next server restart.

It was never a live spell.

Zephyr is doing great things with this server. Come check it out, it's going strong.

I originally raided heavily in EQ from classic through OoW. Since that time I've come back and dabbled more times that I care to admit. This server is exactly what I was looking for and I am having an absolute blast playing here.

All the players have been super helpful and polite, and I can see enjoying this server for quite some time.

So to the person that made all this happen I have two things for you:

My wife hates you because I'm on this server too much
Thank you for the time and effort put in to creating this server. I LOVE IT!

Keep up the awesome work. The rate that the bug fixes have been getting released is truly impressive.
