There's some level 50 NPCs in Neriak Foreign Quarter that you could switch to. They're better suited to charming enchanters as they've got substantially more HP than what you're killing now, but a mage can probably do them. You really want some mobs that are 45-49 with lowish hp though, and most of them are in spots that are tough to break into or hold as a solo mage: perma pits, Efreeti area in SolB, bugs/jail in Seb. I have no idea what people are camping for XP in Velious but you could also do conceivably do Fe`Dhars in Skyshrine, random spiders at the front of Velks, geonids in WL, or phase spiders in DN.

Ashenden posted:Spent the night down in Najena trying to get a Shovel of Earth with no luck. If anybody has one laying around I'll buy it off of you. Shaman pet just costs too much mana to try and get a high level one without reclaim. I might be able to help you with this - I usually just AE all the gators in cazic a few times and typically get a drop or two. If you REALLY want a shovel in particular it might take longer. If I have time tonight or tomorrow I'll see what I can do.

I can solo black dire on my monk, it's not like you need a full group of 60s for it or something. And I'd love to help both of you but I don't get a lot of time to log in right now - usually I just try and pass out UG officer tags. Next time I see one of you online we can at least check to see if it or advisor is up, that's all I can promise. And Pyro, you crazy (but I'm kinda jelly). Velious raids are my favorite but there's no way I can swing that schedule anymore.

This is a pretty old hat with new tinfoil on it. The DLL is what allows for most of the cheat detection. I don't know what sort of magic it uses, but I've been on the server as long as anyone and haven't had any issues. The short version is, there's some fancy detection poo poo packed into this game which keeps it from turning into the steaming shitpile that is most other emulated MMO servers. If you're worried that the admins can see your porn browsing habits then stop going AFK in groups to jerk off. a real jerk posted:if they're doing nothing shady with the dll, why does simply mentioning the scope of their access get you forum banned? This is pretty obvious. You don't want to provide a bunch of internet nerds a forum upon which to reverse engineer your security measures.

If anyone is interested in an official response, here's what Rogean said on the issue over on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999/comments/3pcrbi/project_1999_dsetupdll_scans_your_open_programs/cw5bqjv quote:Let me go ahead and put this to rest for the 100th time. The DLL and Anti-Cheat system will ONLY forward information about a program, it's name, and path, when AND ONLY WHEN it has identified it to be a program that interacts with the Everquest client. Other than that, the program does NOT collect information on your other programs, file paths, web browser tabs, etc. It doesn't even have the capability of taking screenshots/captures. That is false information being spread by people who have obviously been caught doing shady things. Also contrary to the belief on redguides, we do NOT utilize ANY information obtained by the anti cheat system in the process of RMT convictions. We have several methods of linking all types of tranactions server side and can easily follow those trails without needing anything client side. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me here or on the forums, but understand that the details I will give out about our anti cheat system will be limited. Thanks. Make of that what you will. iNteg posted:Maybe it turns me on when Rogean watches the porn I'm watching? You naaaaasty.

If you're not already on/aware, there's a Halloween event going down on both servers. It's an NPC scavenger hunt in a bunch of different zones with clues leading from one to the next. Porting classes definitely have an advantage but you can hitch a ride pretty easy regardless.

As a some time red player, now is great time to check it out if you've been thinking about it. The no-lifer types who had nothing to do for the last 2 years but delevel epic/VP geared alts for lowbie PK grief should be busy for at least a year or so with Velious pixels before they start deleveling ST/NTOV geared alts for lowbie PK grief.

NotWearingPants posted:If Everquest PVP sucks, and PVP almost never happens on the Red server anyway, and the Blue server has a much larger population, what are the reason to play on Red rather than Blue? Blue has a much better community for most players (less toxic shitlords at all levels), a much more live-server-like population (600-1400 vs 50-200), more groups available in more zones, and the raid scene is much improved due to Velious - there's 8 or so guilds getting kills on a regular basis (vs 1 guild getting almost everything it wants with 1 other getting some scraps). Also, it doesn't have PVP which is a plus IMO, as EQ PVP is largely unfun unless you've got the resources to group/gear up and gank/harrass/grief other players for your own enjoyment. I've played on both and prefer blue long term, but red can definitely fun in shorter doses.

Bybus Slago posted:Anyone familiar with any of the blue guilds? I started playing my 55 mage again, and I've had a couple people try to recruit me, but I'm not sure what any of the guilds are like. I don't really want to get into poopsock raiding, and my schedule can be rather erratic at times. Don't really want to join a guild with the wrong expectations. Rampage is poopsock tier and also gets the most nice things. Forsaken leans towards poopsock tier and gets the next most nice things (joint raids with a variety of other guilds to make this happen). BDA Asgard Taken Divinity are all more casual but still compete for most mobs. There are poopsockers in all these guilds but there's a lower concentration and you could conceivably get loot someday as a filthy casual. Azure Guard OMNI and Anonymous all get some kills too, but aren't nearly as competitive. These might be more your speed if you would prefer to have mostly casual guildmates, but you could also end up frustrated if you're hoping to have a shot at killing all the big cool Velious mobs.

Enchanters are one of the best solo classes once you get some levels and enough cha gear to charm reliably. Clerics can solo undead for XP but that's about it. Warrior is definitely a bad choice for a first class if you actually want to do any tanking as you won't hold aggro worth a drat without gear. SK/Pal are much better first character tank options. Druid is a great first class to get enough plat to finance gear on other classes, and they can make money using track and their outdoor solo skills to farm items or just port for donations. They solo quite well outdoors and even charm solo using animals in a select few areas at higher levels. However, they are not very desirable in groups, especially at higher levels. That's what I'd recommend to play first, you can always switch it up later.

P99 is officially sanctioned by Daybreak now (unique among any emulated MMO afaik), but only as a non-profit operation. "Taking donations" for in-game rewards is a fast track to losing that status and a lawsuit.

TheShazbot posted:So I started an iksar necro, and jesus leveling is slow and monotonous, worse than the warrior I have. So I just will continue to level this assling warrior of mine while playing on Live as well, lots of downtime since I don't think there are sub level 10 groups anywhere? You may also be occasionally dicking yourself out of XP by letting your pet do 51%+ of the damage. You get something like 25% of the normal XP when this happens. Be sure you've got enough mana to nuke/DOT things mostly to death. Note - when you group, this is not a concern.

Xantares posted:I rerolled on red after getting to 14 with my necro on blue. Kurn's was pretty camped at all times of day and from what people on the forums say, that's a good zone that's not overcamped. Also, it felt like there were a dozen silent players all focused on soloing instead of grouping up (twinked, etc.). Good for picking on newbies with low resists and no dispel consumables, pretty bad in real PVP at higher levels. You can be a skeleton without an AoN though so there's that!

I can get you an invite some time this week if you'd like. Also happy to hook you up with some starter stuff. Cleric is fine for a first character assuming you want to group - you'll have a relatively easy time getting groups in a few more levels, and by then a weapon isn't really that important. Honestly, as a new caster the most important thing to save money for is spells.

Gear is almost completely meaningless for a leveling cleric who is grouping. Mana regen is the only thing that really matters much, and that's not on any reasonably available gear. And yes, someone was trolling you and it's actually pretty rare to get attitude as a grouping cleric once you're out of the early levels.
