I took a break from wrestling with the emulation database to mod the global textures to enable the "daniel" face for all races:

You can install it yourself: https://filebin.net/sljstknb1fzxzqkw

Only the "daniel" face for each race enables it. If there's an interest in an ultra-daniel pack where all faces are the daniel I can make that too.

Nice, it looks AMAZING

I was super close to making all hill giants have the face of comedian super star Louie Anderson but it kept not looking right.







The next thing I would have changed would be turning the cyclops into this




I started up an EQEmu server for myself so I could run around boss zones and just kill everything with a sword I made that was 10000dmg with 3 delay and proc'd Cazic Touch (Thule's death touch).

If you went LD while zoning, you never appeared in the other zone. It was basically like logging out at the zone line. Happened all the time on Rallos Zek from vanilla to Luclin (when I quit for good).

I was in college in 99, and our network normally seemed fine, but it hated EverQuest. Literally half the time, zoning meant watching a loading screen for 2 minutes until I got kicked to server select, then back in. It was miserable.

Edit: At home for holidays / summer it was fine, of course. Something with the campus network.

I was a nobody on RZ. My brother was involved with some more noteworthy folks, but I honestly cannot remember the names of the guilds he ran with, and I can't ask him because we no longer speak (not a big loss :v:). Was PoF an EQ thing? My lovely memory says that was a UO guild, but, as I said, my memory is poo poo. Maybe there was another China-themed guild on the Atlantic server on UO that I'm conflating it with.

pof was a taiwaneese guild on rz, they were the main faction behind conflict. the na ( ascending dawn) and eu factions didnt want to pvp they just wanted to raid, then pof was like gently caress you were fighting for the planes and it started a huge war between those 3 factions. pof beat eu into submition and eu joined one of the other two then burn out + ad eventually beat pof into submission but im pretty sure it was more that most of them were migrating to daoc. i was also a no body but i tried to stay up on the politics so i knew what to do to avoid being kos to any side.

Yeah that sounds familiar. I'm pretty sure my brother was either in Ascending Dawn or raided with them. I think first he was just associated with them, then later joined.

Are there any SA guilds on green? I just started on there and It's a little lonely, especially so as i'm on GMT time

I am absolutely loving how packed it is, even if i'm struggling to find mobs in certain zones as they've all been picked up by others (Trying to get HQ bear pelts atm to get some bronze for my Bard, only level 6 though!)

I don't think there are any dedicated goon guilds unfortunately :( I may be wrong though!

And it gets rough, I think green also has lower prices and drop rates for some stuff, compared to Blue. On blue I started a bard in Qeynos and made bank collecting and selling bone chips early on, and then when I leveled up a bit I made more plat than I've ever made as an un-twinked newbie doing the bandit sash quests! I'd easily made a few hundred plat solely from the bandit sashes. On Green when I tried doing the bandit sashes, the drop rate was WAY lower, like only getting 2 belts in an hour and a half of bandit killing low, and stacks of bone chips were going for cheap. This is likely to change once the server ages a bit, if it hasn't changed already!

I'd really like to get back into it, try leveling up my ranger some more - last time I played I was hanging out in crushbone. I'd also like to play my bard on blue again, but I've been stuck in the overthere too much of a pansy to try to get out (because it's got so many mobs that can see through my bard invis!) , and last time I tried nobody would run to the WW zoneline to help me TP out :(

Green server goes Kunark next month. I've been playing this game off and on for 20 years and I've never gotten a character beyond level 20. I told myself- quarantine, I'm at home doing nothing, gonna do it this time. Gave up just shy as 20, as per usual. :effort:

Oh yeah - thanks for the reminder. I’ll probably hop on at least long enough to bind myself at the firepots for future utility.

I haven’t touched Green in a good six months. The Teal/Green merger followed soon after by the quarantine caused such a population explosion that I stopped finding it fun to log on. I was reminded that I like the idea of endgame EQ a hell of a lot more than I enjoy the actual experience of competitive raiding.

If you're trying to ruin your life do it the right way and at least get to level 34 when the game really starts sinking its claws into you.

I only got 1 character past 20 on live, I made so many alts.

I vowed to stick with it from there on, so I hit max level in wow and I've since gotten to 40 in 1999.

I'm guessing to prevent people from speed-leveling iksars? They initially killed the lowbie mail quests on green's release but restored them a while later, so I guess they're doing a similar thing again?

Edit: not sure why the gently caress it matters, but grogs gonna grog.

Might be a way to limit the amount of players all doing the same content at once, and prevent the drama of max level characters camping midlevel spawns? You have a month of everyone going down there and doing their camps, and hopefully a month later they'll be done and it'll free it up for players starting their iksar? Though at that point it probably would have just been smarter to disallow iksar creation for a month.

This is the kind of thing that really only impacts players in the middle who have enough plat to buy bone chips etc. but don't have high level friends/can't afford a PL.

Also sucks for the higher level players who can actually get really good XP from parts of their epic quests.

Not classic and dumb as hell if you ask me.

Yea it's super dumb to punish 99% of the player base for the 1% who would exploit it. It won't even slow them down as they'll just PL in other ways. Rogean is seriously a moron and can't stand it when people play the "wrong" way in a 20 year old game.

Part of why I gave up on p99 is the super selective non-classic tweaks. These are just arbitrary decisions about how the game is "supposed" to be played, but not how it was actually played. So what if people know exp quests? They were known by people back in the day. It would be like changing boss mob strats because oh look, people are rushing Trakanon and killing him in mere hours- that's totally classic. :getout:

Exactly. With Rogeans logic all raid targets should be disabled for at least a month as people weren't killing Trak on day one on live.
