Just so everyone knows, if you're tagged as a Goon, we are only openly hostile toward pubbies who give us a reason. The server is far too small to run around doing whatever the hell you feel like with no regards to consequences. Do not jack camps from people unless you have a reason other than "I wanted the camp" regardless of their guild tag or one of us WILL boot your rear end. Now, drama over, back to talking about Fableds or Bluemist

Here's a little patch to my ZlizUI: http://www.2shared.com/file/yFBZKsUO/EQ-ZlizUI.html The old versions probably still load, but you'll miss a few new icons and the "Sent" column in the parcel window without the patch. The Live version is here: http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=6417 I'll update it when the patch goes Live.

I'm curious, is there a functionality benefit to having your buffs in the left-center instead along the left side? My mind automatically tries to place anything tall on the sides like this: |___| instead of |_|__| Am I just being OCD?

Soooo, I ended up deleting my FV character which had all my poo poo on it from every HoT/VoA aug to pretty much every piece of equipment worth copying that I'd Preload on a character and copy over so they'd be set to go at 90-95 and the GMs can't fix it. Easily 200 million worth of plat (by FV's standards) all lost. The sad thing is I'm kind of glad I did it because I never would've stopped making new characters, now I'm stuck with the bard who is the only one I have left on test with all the gear, thus the only character I'd ever truly play because gently caress camping all those augs again. I've probably deleted 20,000 worth of AA points in the last week going from bard, mage, necro, mage, wizard, bard, and I'm sure I've forgotten a few already. Argh.

If you're gold status, you should be able to get them restored via petitions. Just keep at it. If you're not gold, I dunno. I was able to get my bazaar mules that got deleted during the first and second rounds of server merges restored by keeping at it, giving some names and asking for every character I've deleted to be restored.

Between the two new Devs posting today, and the others that were mentioned last week, it looks like EQ is bringing in enough money to bump it up from being the lowest tier soe game that gets resources stolen from it. If we're really lucky, we'll get a new spell dev to help or replace Aristo.

SOE doesn't really have much in the way of dedicated resources, though. There's a few devs that appear to be dedicated to each game, but a lot of the rest of their folks get shifted around on a pretty regular basis. I'm still hanging onto my theory that McQuaid is being cycled through the games that people actually like as prep work for EQNext, personally. SOE originally hired him back for the Vanguard relaunch, but he vanished into thin air after like a month - now he's showing up here months later.

Comfortador posted:I'm curious, is there a functionality benefit to having your buffs in the left-center instead along the left side? I have experimented with putting buffs to the left, but I feel that watching buffs is an important part of the game. You're 100% free to move the buff window around though if you use the UI of course.  The move anchor is very tiny in the top left corner, just a few pixels to the top left of the #1 buff.

That buff window slots in nicely on one side of the screen. I put it on the right side and have the group window + clickies on the right side, a 1x10 horizontal ETW along the top, and chat windows along the bottom. I also like to have larger target and group windows because those health bars are where most of my attention is focused during raids. Having to swap out those watui styled windows to stretchable ones made for different UIs kind of sucks because they have a lot more wasteful space. But I play on a tiny laptop screen and last time I posted a screen shot, everyone flipped out over my layout  There's not really a good way to put 40 buffs, 17 health bars, 50 debuffs, ~100 buttons, 10 song, and 6 chat windows on a laptop screen without disrupting the view area.

I think the unchecked combination of his good and terrible ideas are the reason the original EQ was so...memorable. However, they are probably just going to put him in charge of some basic zone / quest design and not let him do anything revolutionary. My guess is he'll go work on EQNext or something like the other posters said.

Incoming changes (upgrades) to F2P: We are opening up ALL CLASSES. We are opening up ALL RACES. All bag slots are unlocked. All players can now use the shared bank slots. The quest journal restrictions are lifted entirely. Quest away! Additionally, EverQuest is allowing all players to send delivery parcels!

Unlimited heirloom xp pot copies for Test yay! Should've posted this last night, but some poo poo happened and I couldn't, so here it is for anyone who hasn't seen my GMOTD update - our scrubby raid alliance is starting tonight at 9CST. We're starting with Solteris for everyone to be able to buy raid PSs from NPCs and get comfortable together, then moving to Tower next week for our first "real" raid. Level limit currently is 80+ and will likely stay that, with a slight chance that we bump it to 85+ depending. I'm coordinating this with the leader of Holy Gnomon Empire along with a few other smaller guilds potentially. Nobody's remotely serious business, but it'd be nice if we had some goon turnout and didn't completely embarrass ourselves

I'll probably hop on a little later today either way to ask more about whats going on, but hopefully I can come help out/show goon presence. Also I'm pretty down to show up one or two times a week for mad EQ raidz. Will probably go on my shaman, Krintixe, but if enchanters or warriors were needed I could do that too.

I'd like to join in on these as well when my work schedule permits. How does Solteris (which I see is a TBS expansion) stack up to modern equipment and levels? Is everything we do going to be pretty easy until we get to HoT/VoA/RoF? I know that robot fight we did the other night was easy as hell but that was a good thing since I was falling asleep and partly wasted.

Friday is my night off, so if I can be useful I would rather like to see this. I know that I am basically the lowest-level person in Roost, but I can bring my 82 bard/druid/wizard/SK/chanter at request. I thought that the enchanter might be the most useful as they are somewhat scarce these days, but can reliably CC things significantly higher in level (bards cannot, sadly). That would free up Ovidius to single-box Nazwadi and Creative Bicycle could focus on tanking, healing, or DPS. I am basically on hiatus due to work, but I would enjoy seeing some of this content.

Also I'm pretty down to show up one or two times a week for mad EQ raidz. Will probably go on my shaman, Krintixe, but if enchanters or warriors were needed I could do that too. 9CST like my post said Solteris will be entirely trivial unless someone fucks up the gimmicks, which we'll go over in raid before we start an event. It's not until the last couple that anything hits beyond 7k, which is as trivial as it sounds to anyone who's done HoT+ content. This is mostly a warmup romp to see how a bunch of various people who don't know one another work together. Bonus is that everyone who finishes Solt tonight can buy the Pure (good) powersources from NPCs instead of relying on bazaar copies. Assuming tonight isn't a clusterfuck of fail, we start Discord next week, which is still somewhat trivial though much less so. If you guys have been watching the Strontium cascading fail saga, they got assraped in Discord Tower, so if we don't suck entire rear end, by this time next week the alliance will be the top Test raid force. Mostly plan on NOT boxing, because most raid events (especially ones you haven't experienced) have multiple gimmicks that will kill the gently caress out of you if you try to box. We may end up with a couple boxes depending on tank/healer attendance, but in general this isn't something you want to box with no experience. We'll ask for specific boxes once we see who's attending and it will almost certainly be based on specific experience or levels, so plan on just bringing yourself. As usual, heavy emphasis placed on solo healers, then bards. It's looking like tanking isn't even a remote issue, so I may even be on my sham/bard instead of Kodaji depending on turnout. If you have a healer (and cleric in particular) that you like, everyone will love you more if you show up as that rather than misc_dps_793. Loot is all just straight /random for the first couple weeks until we see how this works out/build a core of people with actual attendance. If anyone else was on Test back when TSF alliance was active, we're aiming to become TSF 2.0 with nearly the exact same rules/loot.

Sk will probably be 98 at the time but my necro will be 93 and shits out some pretty awesome Dps. Are the purchased power sources no drop? Also if this works out it might inspire me to plevel a cleric.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=4220 That is going to be the hardest event in Solteris. Not because it will wipe you, but because 5% balance on those is really hard with 90+ dps and you can't just overpower the fail mechanic because it despawns the event. Most of the raid is going to be sitting around because having more than a couple dealing damage will ruin it. The first event still has an annoying time limit/dps check. The rest can be plowed over with your gear and levels.

I'm guessing the bank is still locked down because I can't withdraw anything. My SK, Shaman, Mage trio is all around 80 where I'm going to park a while and farm up some AA's and start to equip some real gear. I found a few items in the bank that I would like to use if it's not too much trouble: For my SK Zafty (currently 75, but should hit 80 quickly): Hammer of Greatness Terror Infused Linked Coat For my Shaman Xafty (currently 80) Neckguard of Purity Twisted Ring of Madness I'm also interested in a set of level 80 armor for my mage (Andydufresne) and SK if anyone has anything they can copy over. Devor hooked my shaman up and jesus it was like night and day when I hit 80 and equipped that set.

My offer's still open to anyone who wants, I can make the HoT Level 80 abstruse armor for Silk, Chain, and Plate classes on Test server. If there's a lot of demand it might take a day or two, but there's no line right now. Just hit me up in this thread with the class and character name.

Even after the F2P conversions went live, it's much more common for players to be subscribers than not due to the advantages a sub brings. Hence why both EQ and EQ2 have had constant, extensive development, and the rest of the products (excepting PS2) have gotten a fairly small amount of attention in comparison. They pull talent from both for new projects, yes, but like I said, SOE's staffing structure has been really fluid for a long time. Really the only product they have that is in any way competitive is Free Realms. Maybe Planetside 2, although I could write a whole book about how they botched that one.

I actually had a Station Pass until I played around with PS2 and spend some station cash on it. They screwed me over with the SC purchase, so I canceled my account that I had active for 8 years. I was pretty inactive with all the games, but it was easier to just keep it active. The subscription for PS2 looked pretty worthless, and I can get gold on EQ for free by playing on test.

This is pretty much exactly what I did. You can AFK in Ashengate post-80 as well although it may be a little bit riskier depending on your makeup. At 85 I started HoT content and have been going well since. Honestly, the 85-89 (current level) has been way more enjoyable than any other 5-level bracket. There's good quests, loot, and mobs are actually engaging enough to not feel like you're better off AFKing.
