[AlmostUnreal32]

The Gates of Time Server

GoT is now in Beta and a lot has been changed due to he community base and the overall change in the direction of the server. GoT is a locked Planes of Power server that is in FULL Luclin at the moment and is looking for a six month release of Planes of Power.

Here is a walkthrough on the server:

What makes Gates of Time different and why should I play here?

First and foremost, we are a transparent server: we actively encourage your feedback and allow everyone to understand the mechanics of their favorite battles. We have a completely open AllaClone (http://allaclone.gatesoftime.com) that allows you to see every detail possible about the mobs your fight and your chances of getting the items that you have long hunted. Our players will always know where we are going and will have a voice in how this server and community is shaped.

Secondly, we have a fantastic community of players that is welcoming to both new players, and returning players as well. If you haven’t played EverQuest in years and have found your way to the EQEmulator site, you have found the right server: we were founded on the pillars of cooperation and inclusion of both the casual, and the more hardcore raiding characters. It will not take you long to catch up and experience the end-game content with the great people you have met along the way.

Finally, we have an amazing server staff. We have active and responsive Customer Service Staff (Guides and GMS), community managers, and developers that actively destroy bugs and enhance gameplay.

How do I get involved?

Please go to www.gatesoftime.com and sign up on our forums to get started. We have instructions on how to get started, and experienced players that can help you if you run into any issues. In addition to our forums, we have a Discord server where you can real-time interface and communicate with both staff and players. Please don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help, and we hope to welcome you to our community, and look forward to seeing you in game!

What is the Vision of the Gates of Time server?

Our vision is to have a community focused server that will go from Classic content, through Planes of Power, and then beyond into custom content based on the wishes of our players. We will be getting YOUR feedback to shape the server and the story of Norrath after the Planes of Power expansion. This server truly belongs to the community; we are thankful that you allow us to run the server and help shape the world of Norrath for you. We believe that openness and fairness contribute to the growth of the community.

More importantly what is the Gates of Time Server?

The Gates of Time server is all about having fun, playing in fairness and enjoying the hunt for pixels with a fantastic group of players. We are currently in pushing through the Luclin Era, with all of the Luclin zones and raid encounters open for your enjoyment. This includes Acrylia Caverns as well as Vex Thal content. We are not another era-purist server, but have instead decided to take a quality of life approach to the game: we have Potion Belt, Bandolier, Autofire, Melody, Enhanced Trade skills, Buffs are not Level Restricted, and Advanced Research all available. We have community managers who will run GM events on a regularly scheduled basis, as well as community events planned for the enjoyment, and betterment, of our community. We will promote a healthy competitive raid environment so that all the community can enjoy the end-game content each expansion has to offer. We will be enforcing the EQLive’s “Play Nice Policy”, and we operate on the rule of “don’t be disruptive to other players”. We want you to have a positive experience on the server, and our Guides are available to help with any issues. Our vibrant community is also helpful to new players as they become acclimated to the server.

We operate under a three-box limit per player. If you have more than one player in a household you will have to ask for an IP Exemption. We have a 25% bonus to all experience on this server, and groups greater than 3 will see increases in experience as well as a significant boost for 6 people in a group.

We want this to be an equal opportunity server for all players, whether you are a single boxer or you like to run a group of 3 boxes we want it to be a good experience for the whole community. We encourage the use of Wineq2 for the improved ease of boxing your toons, and for quick window switching, but we do not allow any third party programs or mechanical devices that allow for non in game macros--we believe that one click should result in one action. We do not allow Macro-quest or any other third party programs that alter the game experience in a way that automates any of the EQ functions.

Are you revamping each quest like TAKP/P2002 are from classic plus, or just starting from Luclin?

If you are doing Luclin + are you offering /betabuff style toons for people who do not have any good emulated toons in this era to migrate that way we can be in the "starting" era?

Will you be re-opening server transfers since the last thread deterred a good amount of people due to all the substantiated claims of theft and server poaching.

Is AoE handled like P99 with limited targets or can we use unlimited targets? Is Low HP Target Agro AoE'n possible?

Is /shield in game? (these questions are to help decided what trio I would roll based on server allowed abiltities)

Is Manaburn limited to a single wizard at a time, or can I play with a friend and box a fleet of wizards? (obviously not past the 3 box limit).

Do rangers do appropriate double damage on non-rooted targets?

Is the Bazaar functioning?

3 box limit, will you allow a 4th box for a Bazaar Mule?

What version are revamped zones at? Grimling, AC, PoM, Sleepers, Paw, etc?

What out of era content (Beyond Planes of power) are in right now that may unbalance the game for specific classes.

Are the Berserkers in?

Previous post for reference, you can see I had asked many of these questions before the thread was locked.

Some quest have been revamped due to the rof+ client and quests and changes that was applied back to Luclin POP era.

If you are doing Luclin + are you offering /betabuff style toons for people who do not have any good emulated toons in this era to migrate that way we can be in the "starting" era?
No beta buff.

The server is done Xfering people, the reason Xfer was even in for Alpha was a large number moved over to establish and move from another server.

Is AoE handled like P99 with limited targets or can we use unlimited targets? Is Low HP Target Agro AoE'n possible?
It is at this time but may change once the server is Live. It is in beta at this time with quests and some corrections being implemented. Aoe group's like The Deep and The Grey + are able.

Is /shield in game? (these questions are to help decided what trio I would roll based on server allowed abiltities)
It is in game.

Is Manaburn limited to a single wizard at a time, or can I play with a friend and box a fleet of wizards? (obviously not past the 3 box limit).
Each wiz can use once per char until CD is up so yes you can have a fleet of wiz, it does have a 1 min CD de-buff btw.

Do rangers do appropriate double damage on non-rooted targets?
Yes, but for mobs that are perma-rooted they do not do double damage.

Is the Bazaar functioning?
At this time the new bazaar is not working. Many option have been thrown around even going to the old style. Waiting for more information.

3 box limit, will you allow a 4th box for a Bazaar Mule?
3 Box limit. Bazaar mule will not be allowed for 4th.

What version are revamped zones at? Grimling, AC, PoM, Sleepers, Paw, etc?
Paw will be changed to the old zone along with VP. Classic has revamp look and some quests are geing changed or looked into. Kunark to Luclin are close to PoP era with changes being added daily.

What out of era content (Beyond Planes of power) are in right now that may unbalance the game for specific classes.
Same content that Agnarr is allowing at the moment is in. Some have been changed or taken out i.e bard Aria of Innocence
The community at this time is taking a large roll on abilities and spells.

Are the Berserkers in?
Yes


Thank you for these questions.
