Marauder's Mire

[Xelris]

This zone was one of the exclusive "rewards" for transferring to Stormhammer. A look at the item stats suggests that it might be in the classic Velious era, but I'm not sure (might be Luclin as well).

Anyhow, I never got to see the zone (I liked my server), but I was curious as to if this might be added at some point?

[MaksimMazor]

No

Maruader's Mire was added in 2003ish, I believe, so it's not classic content.

Furthermore the concept of going to this zone was based on paying $35 extra to play EverQuest on their own special server. This content goes against the spirit of classic.

im curious. are the files for this server located in the titanium client?

Yes and no. Marauder's Mire was a duplicate of Erud's Crossing. If you run a server all you need to do to zone in is copy and paste your erudsxing files and rename them to erudsxing2.

The zone was a gimmick to get people to pay for the Legends subscription. The items dropped were too good for the difficulty, so you basically just went there for the free loot. After they got people on the server they closed Marauder's Mire and opened Jaggedpine Forest, which was actually an original zone that got pushed to live servers.

Wow, I'd never heard of Marauder's Mire. Crazy :p

What if there are things in EQ players still havent discovered... :O

I heard it took players 9 months to find kedge (could be an internet rumor) could you imagine being the first? Crazy to think about

ooo, is this true? That's pretty cool...

[Daldaen]

Kedge wasn't properly itemized or tuned on launch. There's a picture of Aradune saying he is glad it's itemized to some group there on the interwebs.

Found it!

So would everyone's damage spam go into that single window along with the chat?

[gortimer]

Back in the day there wasnt as much damage spam.

(nah it was a pain in the ass to scroll up and read. you had to make sure you read fast)

Yeah, or you could turn certain things off completely.

[Coridan]

Oh man that UI was so awful, but very reminiscent of games like Wizardry. All the zones were discovered by the end of beta (likely the source of that screenshot).

Speaking of itemization though, Vox didn't drop anything the first time she was killed =p

[Man0warr]

That screen isn't from Beta - it's at least a few months after release since FoH wasn't created until then.

Where's Elderan in that pic? He was the first person to box, first character created in EverQuest, first level 60, and first person to turn in his newbie note. Surprised to not see him there.

Damn!

[Coridan]

Stoemhammer was awesome when it launched, there were gm events constantly. That lasted maybe two months.

I think that was the essence of what made me fall in love with EQ way back in the beginning. The world was so huge and there was this feeling that there was still so much to discover. I remember being 13 years old having sleepovers with the friend who introduced me to EQ and we would have these long discussions about what we thought might be at the bottom of OOT or if there were dungeons still waiting to be found. I loved it.

They're all wearing planar armor too.
