Default Blood and Rank LEGENDS is having a New Year's Bash!

Blood and Rank is having a New Year's Bash! Extra GM events, special help for new players, and a big exp boost make this a great time to try us out! This celebration will last from 12/29 - 01/01. Take advantage while you can! Below is a bit about our server:

www.bloodandrank.com[1][1]

http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Play_Gu...etting_Started[2][2]

We are a relatively new EQEmu server which attempts to mimic the 2002-2003 LEGENDS server. For those who don't know what that was: It was a special server which cost far more to play on than other live eq servers because there was constant GM interaction. GM events, help with all kinds of things, etc. Now that the server is long gone we wanted to recreate that environment free to play for all!

Our server has 3 devs and 3 gm's on staff. We are averaging 8 gm events per week and we retain almost every player that comes to join us! We care for our members and encourage them to have fun! Here's some more info from our website:

Blood and Rank is an Everquest server set in the Kunark era with a custom Legends ruleset. We have a tight-knit community of seasoned EQ veterans heading up our staff, and we are striving to make this a premier place to play. Come and see what B&R has to offer!

Our simple Rules:
1.) No Hacking/Use of third party programs.
2.) No boxing, one account per person actively playing.
3.) Respect the staff. These guys are volunteers after all.

WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of friends who wanted an Everquest experience reminiscent of the old LEGENDS (Stormhammer) server. We feel this experience should be fun for all and this means that we don't give items to donators, we don't clutter you up with rules; and we aim to provide a place to play that is fun above all else!

WHAT ARE OUR CORE VALUES?
We strive to keep a "common sense" environment. We don't feel that a player should have to slow down and read rules every time they want to get something done. If you feel like what you are about to do would be wrong/illegal; just don't do it. We trust our members to do the right thing.

THE SERVER
We run an EQ Emulator system utilizing the current PEQ database(trimmed down to Kunark era) and a Legends Ruleset. This means that exp is a little higher, damage is a little better, and above all else you will have the opportunity to participate in daily events to further your character. For the most part playing on this server will feel like a Kunark-era EQ experience with heavy GM community involvement.

We offer an exp boost for both Solo and Group play that feels appropriate for the situation without allowing players to zip through content. We offer the ability to once-per-day flag yourself for PVP. PVP is dangerous as a player killer could loot one item from your corpse. We also have an NPC in town that exchanges special coins given out at gm events for fantastic randomized loot!

Come get started today, see why those who come here, stay here!

Default Blood and Rank

Been on a lot of emu servers over the past few years. I run my own private server and I'm a guide on a green server. This has been the first server I've been on where the GM's take an active interest in the player. Asking what we want to see on the server (and making it happen), asking what we need to eliminate the feel of the "grind" without just handing us the levels.

It's the first server I've been on where the community ~comes to you~ and drops a few pieces of decent gear on you to make the first few levels a bit less stressful.

So far, it has the closest to old days EQ feel with the GM hands on that we all wanted back then.

They hold, almost daily, GM events for all levels that brings the community together.

I foresee this server being around a long time.

I can honestly say this is a great server to be apart of. If someone wants to hear from someone whose brand new to the server, well here it is. The community is already great, and active for the amount. I started yesterday, was immediately greated by a player and offered help. Picked it up today, did a mini event, and recieved some buffs and womped orcs in CB. Good days to come. Come try it.

I've played on EQemu for years, searching for the perfect server... turns out I was searching for Blood and Rank! GM's always about and striving to help players new and old. Events Everyday!!

Other players are friendly and helpful, together creating the best atmosphere I've ever found.

Don't take my word for it though, come see for yourselves!

Default Best time in EQ in a LONG time

I honestly love this server so far. The GM's make all the difference. I came to this server to enjoy some old school EQ and was surprised by how much work the GM's are willing to put in. The GM events are almost nightly and they are a great time. We currently have a storyboard of GM events that are ongoing and the developing story is just another interesting part of playing on this server.

Please come join us and ports are always free from my wizard, Fynnius.

What a breath of fresh air.

Due to RL constraints, P99 just is not viable as it used to be from a casual player point of view, with kids, wife etc.

Blood and Rank has a nice XP bonus which really softens the blow, very active staff who often pop out of nowhere and buff you, and such a wonderful community.

Leo the Gold adds another dimension to the server too, giving you prizes for each coin you gain, 1 from just starting out!

GM events are fun, and everyone is allowed to get involved, be it a level 1 with a rusty bastard sword, or a 60 completely stacked in gear, everyone is equal.

a new place to call my 'EQ home' Long live this absolutely brilliant server!

Look at these reviews! I'm going to think of something fun to do tomorrow for all the great players who show up and make the effort worthwhile.
