New Server - Retribution (RetributionEQ.com)

Being an old school player, I never got past Velious and always went back to TLP Live just to relive the classic era.

I've been looking for an TLP style Emu server for a long time. I do not have the time to do 50 men + raids anymore and really wanted to experience more expansions but at my own pace. I was so happy when I read about this server however it really it hooked me in when I started playing.

Not only was the community amazing and helpful in every way, but they make you feel at home. My buddy Cork and I have been playing on this server for about 2 months now and we cannot get enough. Playing almost every day just to work on AA or Best in Slot gear just so we can try and 6-man Sleeps tomb or Emp in SSRA.

We all have those memories from EverQuest that just stayed with us over the years and I am very happy to share a new one that was made on this server.

Cork and I (Lozz) where down in sleepers tomb about to kill the 4 warders and we had the whole server rooting for us and even offering help. we really wanted to test our self's and our group setup, when we finally killed all 4 Warders just his 3 toons and my 3 toons it was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. One of those old school EQ memories I will never forget and it all happened here on Retribution.

Thank you
Lozz

Good afternoon, friends!

Retribution is proud to announce its first Season of Retribution.

Starting June 21st at 8EST, Retribution will be launching Seasonal play!

Every character created after this time will be opted IN to Season One.

What does this mean? Well let’s start with the fun stuff.

Seasons of Retribution is primarily an opportunity for new and old players alike to come together and experience all that Retribution has to offer in a fresh, time locked, personal progression playthrough.

Seasonal characters will benefit from:

Increased drop rates for Rose Colored and Apocryphal gear.
A class specific, auto granted, AA at level 51 that is unavailable otherwise.
The “First Orb of Retribution”, a no trade All/All aug that fits into any slot that scales every day you login to play.
A 20 Slot, No Trade, bag that can be upgraded as players unlock expansions.
Unique titles for players as they unlock new expansions.
Special progression instances in which enemies do not respawn.
Access to the rarest class of item in EQ history, Artifacts. Very rarely a looted, quested, or tradeskilled Apocryphal item may become an Artifact. This can occur only once per item, per Season. These items have improved stats vs the normal Apocryphal, bear the name of the person who looted, earned, or created it, and may be freely traded between players without Attunement. However, they cannot be dropped on the ground or sold to NPC vendors.

(No trade items will become Lore and attunable at the end of the season)

Seasonal character restrictions:

No more than 6 players will be allowed in any DZ.
Progression flags may now only be gained in a DZ.
May not join a group or DZ with a non seasonal character in it.
May not trade with a non seasonal character.
May not access non seasonal traders.
May not access the shared bank.
May not pick items from the ground that are not natively in the groundspawn table.
May not purchase items from vendors that are not natively in their merchant list.
May not loot a corpse their group did not get awarded exp for.
May not receive parcels.
May not use the buff NPC for regular non-server-wide buffs.

Note: Beastlords, Berserkers, Vah Shir, and Iksars WILL be available on launch for any account that has already unlocked them… so if you want to start with one… hop in now!

Personal, time locked progression:

As Retribution is a personal progression server, so will its first season be. Players are expected to participate in certain raid kills or discover certain items in order to unlock the next expansion. However, players must also wait the designated amount of time for the next expansion to open.

The time locking is as follows:

2 week lock in Classic
2 week lock in Kunark
4 week lock in Velious
4 week lock in Luclin
8 weeks in PoP before the season ends

This is incredibly exciting for us! Join us in Discord and play early to unlock Iksars, Vah Shir, Beastlords, and Berserkers in time for our first Season of Retribution!
