Anyone remember that EQ custom server Sony released?
Back in the day I remember Sony was offering a "Special" server that was something like $99 a month and was supposed to offer a "High-End" experience. It touted custom GM events, special loot drops tailored to the players, different raid events, etc...
I was always curious about it, but of course was not about to spend that kind of cash. I can't find a single mention of it on the net, nor do I remember the name the server had. Anyone else remember this, or know anything about it? Thanks! | ||

Stormhammer, the Legends server.
It was a joke and shut down shortly after it launched.

You could transfer characters to that server, and then back if you decided you didn't want to stay on it. You could also rename your characters on that server, whereas you couldn't really do it on any of the other servers at that time. Honestly, it was mostly used as a $50 fee to rename a character that was bought. People would buy the character, x-fer them to the server, rename the character, and transfer them back. | |||

The whole idea was just kinda ridiculous, but I'm sure it made SoE quite a bit of money.

I remember a few guildies transferring over there, raiding a bit in a big guild (i dont remember what guild it was.... but they were well known), and then transferring back a few months (weeks?) later.

Found a link with some solid history on the server if anyone else cares to read.

There are a few TR guys in this server. I transferred with a bunch of Vindi guys to TR on Stormhammer. Life priorities kept me from taking part in all the fun after the transfer. However, there was a ton of GM interaction on that server. They would spawn a raid mob for a guild to kill and if they could kill it they were put into that tier so they were given access to that raid content. It was really really controlled. In a good way though.

I liked the server. There were some damn good players on it. Some of the best I ever seen. And you pretty much could always get into a pickup Raid. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||
