Looks like test would be best for you then, if you dont know what a raid copy is look at my posts on page 205 to see what it is, basically a character with all the top raid gear, xp potions, illusions and whatever else, makes it really convenient if you dont want to poopsock for months to get gear and augs to stand a chance against TDS nameds or missions. You start at level 1 but all the stuff is put on you to use when you are ready, if Im really bored that day I can pl somebody to 100 in a day easy, but you dont need to get a raid copy for me to do it, Ill do it either way.

Hey VAW. I've been thinking about trying to get some casual EQ in on Test again. I've got a few chars already but don't really have a boxing team that can PL very well. I'd love to get a Necro up to 100 to check out some of the ROF stuff I never got to see. I don't have a raid copy (or anything to speak of on live) but would be super appreciative of a PL if you're kicking around bored any time soon.

This may be the first time I make a non-agnostic monk because having Freeport be my home city for the Origin AA and the Return Home button on the character select is just too drat convenient to pass up. If I join the bandwagon and make a caster it'll probably be a dark elf for similar reasons.

Oh Lord, I just remembered how overcamped the AC camp in OOT is on P1999, even after so many years. OOT should be a shitfest on Ragefire, with "first DPS wins" rules. I wonder if the community will self-police and behave? I know I personally will respect camps even though the play nice rules say it's not required.

Each server has its own General (plus any extra generals that spawn for having 400+ in the chan), you can join other server chans with /j server.general. One of the Zek guilds seems to love having people in all the general chants for recruiting and/or trolling. Getting into test and beta chats can be sketchy from live servers, and beta sometimes blocks you from joining UCS chans.

I think Flavahbeast means server wide in the sense that everyone on one server is in the same General chat, rather than segmented by zones (the answer appears to be yes).

A year or so ago when I was dicking around on Test again it got pretty annoying, but that was mostly due to the same 5-6 people using general chat as their personal springboard instead of using it to sell/whatever (since it's Test). I imagine that on a live server it'd get annoying, though I don't know how Ragefire will handle that.

For the new people looking to play on ragefire, I've still got about 15 kronos to sell. I've been doing $8-10 each depending on quantity, and have sold around 20 to people in the thread already. Quick turn around time and paypal for payment.

Kronos are an in-game item that clicks for one month of all-access game time, they're account wide across EQ1 and EQ2 servers, so the trade can happen on any non-test/beta server. Basically I'm selling in-game time for less then soe charges because I don't need 5+ years of game time banked. My email is my sa name at gmail.com.

I'll buy 1 if you have any available still. From anyone for that matter.

I have just about done everything on my enchanter that I can reasonably do (gently caress the shawl quest, all those bloody tradeskills) and now I have bags of free time. Would any goons be keen, on Test, to maybe level up some RCs starting from level 1? I thought that it would be a fun project, and cheap.

What is a raid copy?
A raid copy is someone on Firiona Vie server, where almost everything is droppable will put high end raid equipment, raid currencies, rank 3 spells, a billion double XP potions, illusions, epic items, big bags, millions of plat, top end augs, most important clickies for each class on a level 1 or higher character and then type /testcopy, which makes a copy of that character with all of that stuff on the test server.

Is this safe?
Yes, raid copies have been a part of test server for years now and nobody as far as I know has ever been banned for it. You will need to give the person you get one from your account info so they can log onto your account since there is no way they are going to give you a thousand bucks worth of gear to do the copy yourself. You should change your account pass to a default pass that isnt the same as your paypal, SA, bank login, goat porn subscription site, etc just to be safe. Never heard of anything like that ever happening but play it safe anyway.

How much does this cost?
That depends on your method of obtaining plat or kronos.

The official way is to pay DBG 18$ for a krono, then sell that krono on FV server for around 1 million pp using /barter which will show you a list of people who have set up characters to buy kronos instantly and for what price. Then use that plat to buy a test copy.

The RECOMMENDED way is to buy a krono from goons or offsite places for half the price of DBG. Jetz0r posts in the thread and sells them for 8-10$ depending on how many you buy. If you get your krono this way, sell it for 1+ million PP, then purchase a raid copy for 700,000pp. Your effective cost for getting it is around 6-7$. For comparison ONE 4 hour XP potion in the market costs 10$.

This sounds retarded, people are going to mock you, you will have a terrible reputation and Santa will not bring you any presents this year?
Raid copies are an integral part of test server now, easily half the population have at least one. Nobody cares. If you make a magelo for your character and post it on the forums to brag or in your dumb allakazam signature then yes you will definitely get made fun of you dumbass.

You sold me, where or how do I get this amazing deal?
There are two people I know of that do raid copies, first and probably best is a player named Sseventya who even has their own website where they put up an interface that you can easily see what gear they have. They have a full set of level 1 twink gear, full set of 60-85 gear, raid gear from 85+. Their website is https://www.fvraidcopy.com . They charge 700k plat, if you buy 2 copies you get 1 free, for anyone wanting to box it is pretty good. Meaning you can get 3 raid geared, twinked characters for less than 14$, while ONE heroic character is 35$.

The other person is someone named Testcopykid, I have seen him online a lot but have never known anyone who got his copies.
