Whitch servers is better?

[Jibbatwinkers]

Mine is up 24/7 it's dedicated, cept maybe 10 minutes to backup/patch. Don't make me start a grudge!

yeah zebuxoruk is the best server ever. and they are up all the time. except umm this last week. but hey. jibs got a life toooo you know :-p. and a good server is worth the wait. go outside for a few days spend some time in the real world. then come back and play zebs.

Darktides has a very nice combined database of cavedude/peq/darktides custom content. Around 8 guilds formed already, we average 80-90 players a day with 30-40 on at a time. Helpful GM's, and special events occasionally.
Completely new zones most servers dont have.

Check us out =)

While each Server is fun to play on both of em has their unique drawbacks and quirks. So check out both and decide what you like best.


For me the best server to play on is the one whose admins are contributing back to EQemu.
It might be good for the ego of the server admin to have the only server with more working epic quests, zones, fear pathing or whatever feature which is currently missing or broken in EQEmu/PEQ but it makes me rather sad to see that the wheel needs to be invented over and over because of this. I admire people like Angelox who willingly give away their work for other people to build uppon.
The above is kind of off-topic and not a rant against Darktides or Zeb in particular.
Bottom line is: Instead of competing with each other why not work together?

Oh yea: Soulshot-A GM of Darktides-
^^^^
A GM? Doesnt Darktides only have one GM who is also the owner?
Soulshot(here) = Mardigan(only ingame GM I know of) = Rickandmary21(Darktides board)

On darktides we have 2 brothers Soulshot and Mardigan with GM abilities for creation and problem solving. I do more of the keeping up with eqemu releases, and in game gm events every so often. Mardigan doesnt really play =) He just world builds, loot edits, manages the database, helps stuck characters, connects zones with portals, makes quests, researches mobs etc. We also have some EQ support staff that can help with questions and our favorite developing assistant Zorp! Hope that answered any confusion.

What eq4me said is very true.
Try out every server and then make a final decision, Many servers now-a-days are very different from each other.
Many have gotton a major overhaul.

If you are looking for Semi-Legit Scars of Nalgora is quite fun.

A brief run-down on what it's like:

100% custom quests,
100% custom server,
100% custom items,
100% custom NPC's.

It's NOTHING like live.

You do a quick quest to obtain level 25
You can level to 70 in a day if you try hard, Usually people level to 70 in about 3 days.
Max level right now is level 72, Soon to be level 73.

Custom Epic 1.0's and 2.0's.
Adventure zones that are higher exp. gains for certain levels which include custom augs.
Friendly Player-Base, In-depth quests. "Evolving" Items.

Check it out at www.nalgora.uni.cc


The server is locked atm due to problems with memory, But it's usually up 24/7 unless there needs to be a reboot to fix something.

Cheers.

I have yet to play on the eqemu servers since I left the scene some 2 years ago (I used to run the Titanium Role-Play Server), but Shards of Dalaya (http://www.shardsofdalaya.com) was the best emulated server out there. All custom NPCs, quests (hundreds), and custom items, etc.

The sad part is they long ago quit contributing back to the eqemu project so I can't recommend them.

I quit playing on there due to the catering of the GM's and staff to all the high level players. The killed off powerleveling which is annoying when you have played EQ for as long as I have and want to play a new character Who wants to kill rats and bugs again for the 100th time? They slowly drifted back into what made EQ annoying - being a timesink. It was better back when it was Winter's Roar.

Anyway, I'm getting off track, but judging from what I've seen as far as posts here and the websites I've visited...I admire the PEQ team the most for contributing back to the community.

Looking forward to playing on a few servers as soon as I get Titanium up and running on Linux...got it installed and can get to server select, but it's not letting me log into any servers...so gotta figure that part out now...

To all the server admins/devs out there - keep up the good work guys.
