Hey Taken goons. I've got an Iksar warrior (Skullmonkey) in BDA. When you're not raiding, hit me up - we should group some Dragon Necropolis or something.

I'm in for some DN. I haven't logged in yet, giving it a few weeks before I get my huge EQ boner on, but swashy is 60 and ready to murder things.

Yeah is everyone in a guild? I am in some guild from like 2011 and no one is ever really on it.

Most goons are spread out. There is a goon guild but it ebbs and flows with users. I need to invite a few people still on my alt or the guilds lvl 30 port whore, but you can find me in game and i'll add you to my list of people to invite. My toon's name is Swashy, though i've been spending most of my time hiding out in Kael and ToV at the moment.

I know there's 3 or 4 of us in BDA, but who knows any more. Skullmonkey is the only active one I know of.

I just got an app. invite to Asgard in blue a little while ago. They seem very relaxed letting people join and leave raids as life permits. I am only a level 51 Rogue working on my epic (no plat to mq) so I am unfortunately not able to make many raids since I am so low.

Other day someone won HoT Chain pants for only 1dkp point. I feel like I am so behind.

Don't worry about gear. Get your levels, work on your epic while you're LFG. You have the benefit of it being super easy to finish. Kunark is still gonna be your best bet for leveling I think. And just think about when you're 60 you'll be spending your 1 DKP on chain pants, because everyone else will have it.

Thinking about rolling a melee class to get a break from druid here and there, decided on SK, agonizing over race choice.
I really don't want to be a Ogre or Troll. They're hideously ugly and they're huge.

But drat, it seems like they're the way to go because of slam. That seems really good? Without it you've gotta wear a shield and bash, but 2h weapons seem pretty great.
Then Troll also has regen, which is huge. But that xp penalty hurts so bad on top of SK.

I think I've narrowed it down to Dark elf or Iksar, both sound like fun. Iksar's got the health regen but more exp penalty. Hm.
Is making an SK without slam a huge mistake?


I am all for this, but what about "its classic!" ? :cheeky:

Its been said before, but the devs are all for bending the rules on classic when it comes to loving people over, just not when it comes to helping people.

Still I can't afford epic twinks so I'm cool with nobody else getting them either.

I do remember Epics not being equippable before 46, and this was Velious era iirc.

I'm okay with this because it might be a big source of RMT on the server.

Cabilis is kind of a pain in the rear end at first, but it's also pretty small. Three rules: Don't go in the water unless you have to, stay away from the froglok slaves until level 6 or so, and don't go exploring in the SK/Shaman guild.. you'll eventually get stuck in a maze that's annoying to get out of.

Everything you need is in East Cabilis. When facing the SK/Shaman guild with your back to the water, Field of Bone is to the right behind the building. The bank is behind you, to the left. Food/drink can be found on the vendors near the West Cabilis zone line.

WinEQ2 limits your framerate to ~60 by default, which may seem choppy if you're used to 100+ FPS. You can change the options in the EQPlayNice area of the configuration to increase your framerate.

the EQPlayNice is awesome for that. I have my FPS set to 100 foreground and background, i can finally tab out and not immediately sink when levitated, however i actually take fall damage now.

I always hear that there ironically isn't very much pvp on red other than the griefing and ganking. Is that really the case? I've never quite understood the appeal of eq pvp, in what sort of scenarios is it fun other than griefing people if you're a griefer? Not trying to troll I'm genuinely curious cause I was thinking about playing on red, but it sounds like it's essentially just blue with the added ability to grief people if that's your bag.

EQ was never designed for true PvP. It's not balanced for it, and basically yes, it is strictly to grief.

People say ohhhh guilds can fight over mobs, but the zergfest and sheer numbers prohibit any sort of large scale guild on guild combat, so empire just takes all the mobs because literally no one can compete with their size (which is relatively small, but so is the population of red so there's no real way to compete)

Note: rogean hates red and pretty much everyone on it. He's stated repeatedly his disdain for the guilds and how they run off CSR staff, if that's any indication of the group of people you'd be playing with.

I'm thinking about getting back into this, just in time for a double exp weekend. I have a 55 mage and 39 monk sitting on blue, and back on live I never really got to experience anything in Velious, so I have no idea where I'd even start. I also have a 2nd account with a lowbie druid and cleric, around levels 10-15, that I might try to get some levels with during the double exp. Could anyone give a brief rundown of what I could start with on my mage for Velious stuff?

Velious xp sucks because mobs hit harder and have more HP. Stick to kunark if you can, it'll fly by in zones with a good ZEM like seb

Last night I completed my epic!

Although it is the rogue epic this was my first character I created on p99 a few months ago so 30k is still an awful lot of money for me so purchasing it out-right was never an option. It feels good to both have it (and not be disrespected for being a 51 rogue without an epic) and to have done it the classic way (solo fully-spawned hate sneak and all)!

Now off to earn XP.

I got a Sebilis key earlier this week with a group of friends. At what level could I reasonably get groups there? I have particularly fond memories of wasting my teenage summer days grinding in Sebilis.

Since the release of Velious, seb is mostly all leveling people and maybe a soloer camping crypt and a trio camping King, so thankfully it's usually open and anyone in their 50s can generally find a group now, though I'd still LFG in KC rather than evacing to seb to find out that there's no one there and you're stranded.

If you don't have one yet, I highly suggest an OT hammer, a WC cap, and getting your HS key. People need rogues all the time to open doors there.

Not gonna lie though, as soon as Velious dropped and since I was 60 I vowed never to go back to HS again, and deleted my key to prevent me from zoning back into there. It can be extremely scary.

Does anyone have good experience/perspective on the raiding game on p99(Blue)? I am interested in trying. I understand the old class rules and have read opinions on both sides, but it's hard to get a sense of what the actual average required weekly time commitment is of what would previously be called R vs C. I know this is going to vary based on which guild, but yeah if someone has experience and can quantify effort that would be super useful information.

With the release of Velious everything changed. There's an extremely large slew of mobs now worth killing and one guild can't get them all, so there's a lot more to do.

Most guilds work on two systems of loot, a council, usually officers distributed raid loot based on class/attendance/social status in the guild. BDA is a guild like this.

A less biased way is DKP, where he more you show up, the more points you earn, and you spend those points on gear you want. Rampage is a guild like this.

If your playtime is limited, you have good utility and you listen well, BDA Is a good fit for you.

If you want to be hard core, wake up at 3am for bat phones and show up for raids all the time? Rampage may be more your style.


The class system is no longer and it's back to play nice policy + FTE on all raid mobs.
