New EQ server.

[GreenTurnip]

Well that just blows... maybe if there is a huge turnout to play on the server they will decide to keep the ruleset...

[Hoofhurr]

Hmmmm. Not cool at all.

[Hoofhurr]

Hold one second. It says when "This cycle of Discord ends". The first month of this server is the promotion but I get the distinct impression that it will continue with more cycles after the expansion has been released.

[Zeel]

I can see what you mean, but it is not really clear... I'm still going to play just because. If it stays up afterwards then it is a bonus.

[GreenTurnip]

The server will exist for a finite time (until Monday, January 12th, 2004).

Methinks that since they the srver will exist fora finite time... the whole server will be gone 1/12/04. If it were the contest only, I think they would have said 'The Contest will exist forafinite time.'

Maybe I am wrong, but from the way it is worded... i think we are screwed.

[Hoofhurr]

Lol you are totally right I missed that part. Well I'm not buying EQ for one month because I know I will get hooked again if I do and damn it I don't want that.

[Zeel]

Cmon fool! buy it!!!!!!

Crack!!!! Need Crack!!!!

Hard to tell what's going on with this Discord server. It's still part of TestEverquest.

I think the message about it being up until the 12th is just part of the testing. I imagine when it opens for real, they'll update that to the real date. There's nothing on Everquest.com that suggests that the contest is currently running, just that the server is still in testing.

I don't think they're actually running the contest on the test server right now.

I'll be on EQ this weekend either way. I've got a free 30 days, so what the hell, may as well.

/who "Lost Society of Decadence" all if you happen to swing by Vallon Zek 8)

[Slamz]

Discord is now live.

I'm on there as Riblit, the froglok wizard.

[Zeel]

I'm on as Feliix. Also Frog.

[Hoofhurr]

so? is it fun?

[Zeel]

It is fast. I'm already 7th after one morning of playing. PVP starts at 6 so I havn't seen much action yet, but there are some level 14 people running around already.

I havn't played EQ in a long time, so just getting back into it has been fun for me in a nostalgic kinda way. The new GUI is pretty good when you get used to it, and the game runs way better on the machine I have now compared to my old 800 machine.

I'm having fun.

[Hoofhurr]

Ok I freakin bought it. Installing now. Im going for Panzi the Froglok something dont know what the classes are.

LDoY will be a new expansion for me. No idea where the good items are.

[Veraphim]

LDOY? =) I guess you mean LDON and LOY.

From the origional post:

The server will have the old world (Antonica, Faydwer, Odus) plus the Legacy of Ykesha expansion , and will only allow characters to reach level 50 with no AA.

This leads me to believe that there is no LDON, Kunark, Velious, Luclin, or POP. Aside from the new lands from these expansions, the sub-50 spells offered from these expansions wont be available either(ie, the velious spells were bought from the gnomes in Iceclad, and POP spells were from the library), unless they put them on new special merchants.

As far as the good items from LOY, I don't think there are any. When I still played EQ, most people had LOY, but only because you needed it to dye your armor =) The only new things offered by the expansion afaik were playable frogloks, and grobb as the froglok town. I'm not aware of any decent dungeons/items from that expansion.

[Hoofhurr]

good to know. I won't be at a great diadvantage then.

[Iceheart]

A bunch of SZ people came to the server all massed up already. 15-25+ already and hunting down everyone who is 10+ basically. Half hunt while the other half exp it seems. They have buff bots too lvled up to keep buffing and helping anyone who drops back to lvl 1. Will take some good team work and people helping each other to deal with these guys.

[Hoofhurr]

sick lol. Ya I met a few SZ people former iggles as well.

Not sure I can hang with this server it's frustrating to say the least.

[kynloadz]

its a contest and ima slay everyone
