Looking for server recommendation ..

askyn · #1 05-07-2009, 03:36 PM

Hello all,

First off I have done a search and havent found what im looking for.

Mainly im interested in what the people PLAYING on the server suggest ( altho the one running it would know best I guess rofl )

Im looking for a solo friendly, bot enabled, pve server that contains a lot of the "feel" of the original eq. ( Not really into raiding a lot, but if bots were available, looking for 2 group content or some thing like that )

I would love for it to be velious +++ ( one consideration is I REALLY want to play a Beastlord )

I do have a friend that id be playing with reguarly ( almost every night ), we are looking for interesting quests / zones and fun.

would any one be able to recomend a server simular to this?

Thank you very very much /bow

My server Raid Addicts has been around nearly 7 years, and I have played Live myself leading raids since January of 2001 it has a VERY old school EQ feel..

Even though the server is called Raid Addicts and there are lots of raids there are also tons of solo aspects of the game... You can do solo / group stuff or trade skills ect.. Lots of things to do of course given all the work put into it..

Lots of the players will agree some of them have been on the server upwards of 5 years.. People who even started out playing EQ for their first time on the server..

Stop on by and check us out! If you have any questions in game I am on all the time "Mortenson" you can send me a tell...

I think this is what your looking for .

The Realm

http://www.cerebus.net:8080/

The server is owned by the developer of the bots and is updated frequently.

Legit EQ PVE with some really nice touches,

Really, I would recommend any of the servers that have more than 20 players on them. They are all great. Each server has it's own touch. It probably wouldn't take you long to get addicted to any of them or to be able to tell if the server is not for you. Maybe try playing a few hours on each one and see what you think. The first impression is usually the best one

VZ/TZ is always a good choice, pussies need not apply.

LOL, that would make a good slogan :P

Trevius said it best. if it was me, i'd try out all the servers with 20+ people at your normal play time.
each server is truly unique and offers something different, whether it be communities, raid encounters, XPing, etc.

personally i like VZ/TZ because i always thought waiting in line for things was dumb :p

(Disclaimer ~ yes im on the staff, and yes im bias

)

If you are looking to play solo I'd recommend Irreverent's server. It's a good server and is very live-like. I also have a solo server, Pelican's Solo Server which has a little more custom content than Irreverent, but has a pretty small player base right now.

Sorry, is Irreverent the server name at the server select screen?

Reason I ask, is I dont see it listed. I do see Pelican's but not Irreverent.

and on a side note:

How do you access the bot system on Pelican? I was tring to find a quest npc to activate them etc. just wondering.

Pussies and Emo's are Welcome... But only if you suck at VZ / TZ

I guess irreverent's server is down right now and there is no bot system on my server. Its solo in the sense that all mobs are weakened and you can make enough armor to be able to solo basically anything in the game

I tried out most servers, except the ones that have standard exp gain (I just can't handle that level of grind again). This one is my current favorite and Pelican is pretty active and welcomes ideas, and seems to be continously creating new content/quests.

It is not too easy, and far from that dreadful grind feeling.
