Yes every thing is as close to real everquest as possible when it was released. CR's-Exp loss-Slow exp-Prolly alot of LFG-the whole thing

[cassarubi]

Sounds like the best server ever, doing things right the first time. Everyone ought to be there!

[Joebrew]

Do certain races get exp penalties like old times, example being half-elfs being slow levelers? Awesome work by the way and I cant wait to play.

[Tantalar]

yes lol half elf ranger, troll sk... they will be brutally hard to level up.

[Morgo]

Good. I'm glad things will be as difficult, or "classic" as they once were. No 2x exp, no porters or soulbinders indeed. If you really want these things, go play somewhere else - there's lots of servers with custom rulesets.

Hopefully the need to 2box never arises...

[Manix25]

I will definetly be checking this out.Been waiting for the official release.

[eq4me]

Ooooh. My fingers are twitching and this time not from RSI. That is one server that could lure me out of hiding.

Well, if I only could remember one of my login passwords ...

[fender07]

I can't wait for this to come out, I've been waiting for EQC all this time!

[Secrets]

Good luck guys, It isn't a classic client, but it's the classic content, which is probably the next best thing. Best of luck on your server!

This is exactly what I was looking for when I joined the EQEmulator community, and as soon as I heard about it I began beta testing for it. I'm very happy to see it finally being released, and it seems a lot of other people are to.

Cheers!

Yes, racial and class based experience penalties will be in place (as far as I know). Personally, I have argued against keeping class based penalties but for keeping racial penalties, but I haven't heard any change in policy yet.

If I remember correctly, half elves have no inherent penalty or bonus. Halflings get a small bonus, ogres trolls and iksar get a large penalty.

[nilbog]

As far as penalties are concerned, I responded in the other thread but not this one.

Here's a copy of the information

29 //experience modifiers based on race and class, used if USE_RACE_CLASS_XP_MODS is defined
   30 //                            hum     bar     eru     elf     hie     def     hef     dwa     tro     ogr     hal    gno     iks,    vah     frog
   31 float  race_modifiers[15] = { 100.0f, 105.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 115.0f, 95.0f, 100.0f, 120.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f}; // Quagmire - Guessed on iks and vah
   32 
   33 //                            war   cle    pal    ran    shd    dru    mnk    brd    rog    shm    nec    wiz    mag    enc    bst    bes
   34 float class_modifiers[16] = { 9.0f, 10.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 14.0f, 10.0f, 12.0f, 14.0f, 9.05f, 10.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 11.0f, 10.0f, 10.0f};

legend: if smaller numbers are faster exp, then halfling warrior is fastest!

[Traul]

Rangers being heavily penalized when they're already the worst class makes zero sense (and Sony eventually admitted this).

But hey, Classic = Perfect right?

[nilbog]

Sucks to be rangers in the story of classic. :(

Classic isn't perfect. It did, however, provide the fun and footwork necessary for sony to still be leeching money, 16 expansions later.

[SilentCurse]

Yes I do hope that you guys still try to keep a sense of balance, even though you want it to be 'classic'. Don't think 'classic' was the end all/be all of Everquest - the game is far from perfect, just don't let the quest for 100% classic destroy the fun for certain players.
