Newb Question ::Curls up in a ball::

[foreveragain]

Thanks for the quick reply. Now since you said:

'PEQ The Grand Creation' server is about as close to live as you will come. They have a ton of live quests, and almost all mobs from live up to I think Luclin? May be off but I'm sure you wont find any other server closer to live.

does that mean the zones in the expantions past luclin are non-accessable or they are not filled with mobs? Also do the planes of power work on any of the servers. Always wanted to try out the planes... never really got a chance to.

On peq itself those zones are non-accessable. On other servers they may be but without mobs. On still others they may have mobs or custom spawns.
However..If I were serious about playing I would always start with peq. Its been there for years and will probably be there for many more.
I wouldnt trust any other server to be there a year from now.(I dare say Innoruuk will be there though)And you dont want to lose all you have worked for.

You will get a lot of people say this or that Server is better, but the truth is you really need to check them all out yourself before commiting to a Server.
my Server has spawns up to OOW.
we have a lot of spawns taken from live that look exactly like live.
plus we have 8x experiance gains.

the low population Servers <LPS> are ALL different and have weak and strong points.
my server is geared twards playing solo and I setup most of the boss mobs so that they can be took out by one person if he is smart.
but I have seen a few grouped people play that say it's very challengeing also for groups.

This about the 100th post I 've seen from people asking this question and
there really is no Best Server. if you like to be around a lot of people PEQ is you best bet but if you want custom content, then shop around a bit.

I would have to agree if you want a more live like game play on PEQ. Innoruuk, is mostly for soloing and multi boxing, the most people that play on it are old guildies from the Original "SOE" Innoruuk Server.

Dude. You have been in there solid for a looong time! You deserve some mention. You know they should have a way for the login server to record uptimes on all the servers that log in. If a server goes down for more than 15 minutes then it starts its uptime all over. The servers that have the most uptime have a chance to be on the preferred server list. And if you are a preferred server for for a certain amount of time AND you have the most population base of the preferred servers you can become a legends server.
If some rules and a system could be worked out like that I think it would make for some solid servers with an easy way for noobs to choose.

Wouldnt that be great competition? I know I wouldnt want to give up my preferred server status too quickly. I would be trying to make the best most stable system I could.

There is no such thing as getting on a perfered Server Listing by keeping you server uptime over 90%....
it's if your liked or not by the ServOp.
theres a little admin login button on the main server listing.

So what are saying? The loginserver OP logs in there? If so then what happens? What about the program itself? Couldnt that be added to list the servers the way it wants to? Or just make its own decisions?

Doodman controles who get perfered Server status, and to quote him "people keep complainin but not one person has asked me"


If you ask he ill set it up to track you uptime and player average then decide if it *popular* enough for it.


In other words, talk to Doodman and stop talking crap when you dont know whats up, he is the most impartial and fair person in this community.
