Dragonspear (PvP) will be launching tonight at 8 PM EST.
We are a small team that are passionate about EQ PvP. In July of 2020, we acquired the Devnoob/Image Zek Season 6 source code and database (and are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to carry on the torch!) and have continued to build since. Here is a summary of what our server is and will become:
The World: our world is set in the classic EverQuest world. We won't have custom or out of era zones, with the exception of the Nexus and the Bazaar. The Nexus will serve as the central PvP hub for transportation. Here you will find fast travel to other Nexus spires around the world such as: Greater Faydark, Toxxulia Forest, North Karana, and South Ro.
Though our world mainly uses classic zones, we have added in custom "classic-like" loot that is obtainable via PVE or PVP. These items will never be overpowered, and will always be in line with similar items from the era we are currently in.
Anti Grief by Design: Corpse camping and bind rushing is a major problem of EQ PvP. Thankfully, we have a way to overcome both of these obstacles.
On PvP death, you will spawn in the Nexus with your gear. Though you spawn with your gear, you will not be able to bind rush due to zone lockout timers. Zone lockouts are 10 minutes in most zones.
Though PvP death doesn't "corpse" you, PvE death will.
PvP Kills and PvP Points: PvP kills will net you PvP points and also a ticket that is redeemable in East Commonlands for PvP points. if you die in PvP, you will also be awarded one PvP ticket. This is to encourage you to PvP in every situation imaginable. Once you have acquired enough PvP points, you can find PvP merchants in the Bazaar.
Very limited GM Interaction: There is no Play Nice Policy. We will not police training or griefing of any kind. The exception to this is IRL threats. Check out the rules section in our Discord for more information.
Other Custom Content: We will have guild encampments (item is purchasable in the Bazaar with an item level requirement of 30 to use,) and city take overs. City raid boss events will also be a large part of the "raid/pvp scene."
Weekly level caps: Every week, the maximum level will increase.
