Description:
Introducing SoloQuest; an account-based progression server that actually discourages grouping. This server is tuned for solo play by scaling mobs down based on level, as well as some manual tweaks where necessary. Unlike other solo servers, this one does not remove the things that made EQ a challenging investment: corpse runs, XP loss and travel times exist here. At level 20 you unlock 1 bot spawn slot, but bots are limited here compared to other servers. In the (old) Bazaar you'll find NPC merchants selling a large selection of crafted gear and potions, as well as new NPCs in the starting cities that sell tradeskill items for those of you who want to take up crafting. This is a work in progress and I'm just one guy, so if you play here please use the /bug command (NOT /petition) to give feedback, suggestions, and of course report bugs. I will check these every day.CLIENT FILES into your main EQ directory.Solo Play
Mobs progressively scaled down based on level, with higher levels receiving harsher scaling.
Aggro radius halved and social aggro limited to 2 mobs.
Mobs should no longer death touch, banish, or summon (unless permarooted).
Raid bosses are more susceptible to CC.
Player HP/mana regen doubled.
Rest regen enabled, 15 seconds to activate.
Melee can bind anywhere a caster can.
3x AA XP rate.
AAs go up to The Serpent's Spine and can all be purchased at level 51.
New characters start with select AAs. See the list below.
World
Nexus and the Bazaar are accessible in Classic.
Books TO the Plane of Knowledge removed from every Classic zone.
PoK is accessible starting in Kunark.
Respawn times longer than 1 hour were divided by 7, with a floor of 1 hour. So, 1 week is now 1 day +/- variance (also scaled down) when applicable.
Rare drops have had their drop rates conservatively increased across the board.
LORE,NODROP,NOTRADE disabled.
Grouping
33% PRE-SPLIT group XP penalty.
4 members max, including bots.
Raids can't be formed.
Bots
Can spawn 1 at level 20.
Can create up to 5.
Bots only buff group members and when removed from the group the buffs are canceled.
To keep player class choice meaningful, bots can't port, rez, pick locks/disarm traps or summon corpses. They can still bind.
Bots don't receive any AAs until level 60 and their AAs don't go beyond Luclin.
I recommend keeping a bot geared up for help with tricky corpse recoveries and eventually raids.
