I had a druid porting me so I was pretty blessed, although as an iksar I was able to run in and buy all the materials I needed(even from the underground freeport guilds a iksar monk was dubious so I sneak bought) for the gather shadow spells. I thought wc/ec would be a good idea, but even that is annoying as hell so I imagine if your on blue someone has those dead already? On red, I went straight back to sro and killed every spider in sight, and had enough silk for 10x combines by my like 8th kill. Not sure if its just bad luck, or something annoyingly lame but I had a tailor friend with 140 FAIL the first combine I gave him. I could not believe it. Then for me to fail a trivial 36 as it says on the wiki 3 times iirc.

Here's version 3 of my map tool:

Tool: http://www.zlizeq.com/Files/ZlizEQP1999Map-v3.zip
Source code: http://www.zlizeq.com/Files/ZlizEQP1999Map-v3-Source.zip
Readme: http://www.zlizeq.com/Files/ZlizEQP1999Map-Readme.html

New features:
  • Fixed incorrectly named Everfrost map.
  • Added alternative map for Trakanon's Teeth, useful for pursuing the Forager/Hunter cycle.
  • Moved active char label to window title.
  • Added Opacity (transparency) slider (minimum value is 10% to prevent the window from being lost).
  • Added the ability to make the application always-on-top (check the "AOT" checkbox at the bottom).
  • Added the ability to minimize the application to the system tray. The setting can be toggled under the Settings & Help form.
  • Added the ability to plot a waypoint on the current map. Enter a location in the textbox in the top right corner and click the Set WP button. Click it again to clear the waypoint. The waypoint will be shown with a small blue circle. The loc is in the format of Y,X and separated by a comma. Spaces will be trimmed, and both + and - in front of the numbers are accepted.
You will now be able to run around with the map as a transparent overlay. NOT CLASSIC! :ssj: I also implemented the suggested waypoint feature.



The only feature I have in the pipeline now is adding Velious maps, which will be an easy task and require no extra coding. Other feature suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy!

Definitely is one of the most annoying quests. I got really lucky on blue with my Monk's robe.. after setting up an xp group in lguk it only took two days of going there for him to spawn. I then walked into Solb as targain was killed, without any monks in that group.

On live I never saw Raster. I camped him for 40+ hours.. I would only wish that on a handful of people.

Ahh nostalgia, you cruel bitch
Hi I got tired of LFG personally so I found a solution. If you're also sick of P99 (lack of low level) group opportunities, you too can escape them and I'm here to tell you how!

First, download VirtualBox (or any other VM software you care to DL and use) from here:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Then install/download/whatever some version of Windows OS. Install it onto a new VM inside of Vbox/Vmware, whatever.

At this point, you should have a fresh Windows install inside of a virtual machine running. Now you want to copy over all your EQ directory files into that VM.

Once you have 2 copies of your EQ folder, you're ready to not hate life! You're one step away from leveling as you wish! Next, leave your normal install alone, do everything inside the VM version of Windows. Download and install http://www.hotspotshield.com/ then fire it up and BAM, 2nd EQ client that isn't traceable at all. Now you have a 2box with no chance of being banned. You can 2box via this method as much as you want, because there's no technical way of detecting it unless a GM shows up. Seeing as nobody gives a poo poo on P99 until you hit the raid levels, you can go nuts.

Congrats, P99 isn't as awful anymore until you hit raid level, when it becomes just as awful again!

After some persuasion, Fluttershy finally opens up, and Twilight's more than happy to oblige in doing her best performance as a nice, obedient wolf-puppy.
That works for red but you might get caught on blue since GM's actually go on that server and people will snitch you out. Red is kind of a don't ask don't tell situation since you really need boxing for ports and stuff, so the GM's let it go.

MrTheDevious
May 7, 2006

Yeah don't be a clueless moron trying to 2box in a group, it's for solo only so you're not relegated to sitting around doing nothing when you can't find a group. My post just gets you past the technical barriers...if you're still stupid, they'll catch you regardless.

If you want to be extra-safe, I posted a free version of IsBoxer in the EQ Live thread a long time ago you can find via that thread. You can make it run figure 8's or whatever pretty easily. At no point should anyone try any of this in a group though

I actually fixed that, another goon PM'd me that crash report. Simply download v3 again and it will have an updated .exe and .pdb file.

It happened in the case that the first /loc you did in a zone was off the map. I've now taken care of it (I can blame a code refactoring), and if your loc is off the map, it will show the red circle in the top left corner of the map.

There is kinda a mix of blue and red goons. Most the Red goons are spread out now, some are still in SLAMDUNKATRON, some are in Eternal Light (for now?) and other are scattered elsewhere.

Re: EL news, which has yet to reach the p99 propaganda machine known as the forums.. Something happened lastnight and I'm not quite certain the extent or what it eventually means. Near every EL officer and tryhard basically just left the guild, and are forming their own new, self described hardcore-neckbeard guild. I was approached about this and told it was going to be a 'ask darkhorn to step down, as he's a very inexperienced leader' and agreed it would be a good idea. I then learned lastnight as they told him about it in an officer meeting, that they were planning to disband and begin recruiting for their own brand new entity.

This is more annoying, in that it was brought up in the same meeting when Darkhorn mentioned he was going to start inviting Azrael members outright that wanted to leave Lite behind for good.

So, the guild choices on Red are now officially:

1) SLMADUNKATRON, for social and leveling needs amongst goons and friends to goons
2) Eternal Light, which is getting a new name, because Darkhorn doesn't want to be associated with being an AZ feeder anymore with its new ex-Azrael heavy member base. Ironic, truly.
3) WhateverthisnewEx-EL-HardCore-Guild is going to be called. There are really good people going into this, but gently caress
4) Holocaust, for when you just don't give a gently caress and want to afk on raids every sunday.
5) God's Work, whatever the hell they are doing other than killing everyone and anyone now, they recently split from their holo alliance because why not.

I don't think Blue has any sort of goon force now, which is sad cuz I had to join a lowbie guild which already blew up because of DRAMA.

In no particular order:

There's lots of goons on blue but very little goon organization - people are spread out among the various guilds or just doing their own thing.

The OP is fairly up to date. I tend to remove anything that is flat out wrong and keep major changes to both servers and general goon status up at the top of the first post.

Human monk is a terrible idea unless you want to intentionally thumb your nose at powergamers, in which case, go for it. It's kind of like rolling a gnome warrior.

I love that EL drama. Nothing is funnier than p99 guild drama, whether it be red or blue, especially when it doesn't affect you.

I haven't even logged into devchat skype for Velious in two months so I have no new insight on when that poo poo is going to be done, but I can't see them putting it off much longer than the end of winter. The meat and potatoes have been done for awhile, it's just basically waiting on dessert at this point.

There are goons in TMO (myself and a few others), IB, and BDA as well (that I know of at least. I'm sure there are more in other guilds as well).

I can also suggest Forceful Entry if you want to go the class R route. Shinko is, if nothing else, entertaining as gently caress (I also think he's a good dude, though I'm sure some would disagree).
