If they attack anyone under 23 they fall an whole level attack anyone over 23 under 46 will lose half and the exp is kinda slow so u don't want to lose that much.

how exactly are mag pets going to work? are they going to behave exactly like old world? have you considered adding any of the new AA mag commands like /pet hold? This was one thing that mages have always wanted and believed should have been in since release.

Also, are mod rods going to behave as they did oldworld (insta recast) or post-nerf?

I have played EQ for about 4 years and have never played on a pvp server. Could someone give me some good aspects about playing pvp to get me interested? I'd really like to try out this server.

I used to play on Rallos Zek. I'll definately check out this server. I haven't played eq in years.

Looks like fun, i'm sure I'll check it out when it opens =)

You should either make 1 item lootable per kill, and/or a pvp point system where you can buy items with points like guildwars.

World of warcraft has a cool pvp aspect too... buy items per rank, maintain X amount of kills per week - and maintain 'X' rank in which you can buy a certain MR or common pvp item.

I hope a lot of people play! I miss guildwars, but this look like it will be fun!

The 4th is still the planned date we going full out trying to get everything done please bare with us as everything is a bit chaotic atm.

Our website is currently offline atm don't know why we are looking into it.

If anyone wants to run a basic forum watch untill ours is back up feel welcome to.

To answer question's from early post here they are.


As we draw closer to the opening of the server, and after talking with some people a few more important questions came up.

1. First, just to get clarification, for spells like Ice Comet, Lich, Bond of Death, Life Leech and many of the Necro pet spells, which were previously research/quest only- you said they would be in game, but have they been put on normal spell vendors in cities? We just want to confirm that they are in fact available from a vendor.

Damage on all these as been reduce in damage by alot doing 58% in total damage on any player doing a full 100% on a npc. and i can say they are avilable but where you got to find your self.

2. The only available Mage pet spells for many of the mid-levels were on a vendor in OOT... Is this still the only place to get them, and do the boats work, or is there some other way to get to the vendor in oot for these spells?

All dark races of mages will be able to buy there pets from mermaid island. at night time only. Light classes will be able to buy there pets and high level spells from willow wisp island.

3. Ice Comet. It is extremely important for wizards that this spell is done right because, lets face it, without IC wizzies in vanilla EQ are little more than Mages without pets. Additionally, IC has been majorly tweaked numerous times in both Live and on emu servers. At this point its hard to know exactly what you are going to get with IC, or if its even worth playing a wiz. In order to figure this out, can you tell us:

Ice comet will do 810 max in pvp and will be very hard to resist at level 50 1010 in pve.

A. How much does IC do pve and pvp?
B. What is the mana cost and cast time? Ice comet is a special spell so it will take 400 mana.
C. Is there a -10 to the resist modifier like on l ive?

Again, I only single this spell out because it is such a contentious and unpredictable spell on every server, and there is no way to determine what you are going to get without hearing it straight up from the guy running things

4. You mentioned that Jboots were a custom quest. Are there other custom quests, and are there custom mobs and items, or is it mainly exactly like EQ circa 1999?

Jboots is the only custom quest atm. but it will be alot of time befor someone picks up a pair of these.

5. I think you mentioned that you removed all spells for the early levels that came after original EQ, (for example the lvl 44 Shaman spell Stoicism, or the lvl 37 Druid spell Ro's Firey Sundering), is this correct? Are there any plans to implement them at a later time?

We will maybe plant the later spells during the kunark era if we come to that.

6. In Live Wizards have a natural % chance to crit with thier DD spells, is this on your server as well?

Wizards will have a 2% crit chance over all classes.

XebeknSZ ---- Also, if I want to double box, will I need more than one set of CD keys for more than one account? So far based on the server overall you will be able to 2 box untill we see fit to cancel any second account.

XebeknSZ i don't know how many people this server will pick up due to the slow leveling or unless your a pvp fan.

Server specs are as follows duel pent 4 4.2 gig 500 gig harddrive 3gig ddr2 ram. 100 meg connection will handle around 1000 people but we have plans for a pve version of the server.

Any questions please reply to this thread thanks.
