@Darksinga, you already playing rise of zek beta?

it sounds even more pve intensiv than season 5 tbh....

Hey man, my last two weeks of work have been hell. But yes, I've put in some time beta testing.

Server is aiming for that Red 99 feel, not Zek seasons, so yes, XP will be slow.

It's x2 of Red99 so it will definitely be slow, but not insomuch that XP will be impossible (2 boxing is allowed.)

I guarantee with the amount of neckbeards that EQ brings, people will be 50 within the first 24-30 hours. Most likely solo wiz/bard that downed 10 energy drinks, mountain dews, and hot pockets.

As level locks were taken out (pretty sure they were anyway,) due to it not making sense on a pure classic server, the rush to 50 will be real.

With that being said, hopefully the server will progress even past Velious if the popular vote is for it. Though I'm highly against starting on SoL, if it progressed to it from classic, or even to PoP (maybe removing all safe zones except Bazaar for trading or something,) I think it could be a successful long term project.

TLDR: x2 XP of Red99. No level locks. Mountain Dews and Hot Pockets.

'm happy to announce Rise of Zek, a classic PVP progression experience*.

Rise of Zek has been under development for the past 6 months, and our goal is to bring the fans of classic Rallos Zek-style ruleset a place they can call Norrath. It's quickly become the best classic experience outside of that other classic experience. With even more attention to classic PVP mechanics.

Rise of Zek is a [95% classic] EQ PVP progression server. The other 5% is weighted towards slight balance changes in gear and resists. There will be GM-run BoTB events. Classic era will last for around 6 months before Kunark is released. Only select zones from Velious will ever be released in the timeline.

Fame, glory and pixels await.

RoZ has world-class coder(s) / operations and a fixed budget for servers, and bandwidth. RoZ is hosted on physical hardware in a datacenter. RoZ is free to play and GMs may never ask players for money or donations. Item creation logs and GM commands are public as anti-corruption measures. As well as a fully featured Character Browser which shows bank/bags/corpses so players may see everything transparently. RoZ is for fans by fans.

Features:
+- 4 level PVP spread
No XP loss on PVP death & spawn w/ 0 mana
1 item loot from inventory players choice (no no-drop / no bags themselves) & coin
[2] box limit.
Maps are disabled in certain classic zones.
Healing/buffing a higher level player will flag you for PVP for 5 minutes
Anti-plug mechanics
Tiered resist system

Changes:

Certain 'hot' zones will be FFA. These will change over time.

All instant gate effects have a cast time
Golem Metal Wands and various other instant clickies have a cast time
Roots in PVP have a higher chance of breaking

Rules:
Training is legal but do not petition me to retrieve your corpse.
Non-classic items gained from non-raid targets / quests / tradeskills (and in some cases raid targets) are subject to deletion.
No third party hacking programs, server-side AND client-side detection will be active and bans will be delayed in waves.
