Progression server launch

[Itap]

So Everquest Live's Progression server Ragefire was scheduled to launch at 6:00PM EST. At 5:30pm I decided to take a shower; my last for what could be through Memorial Day weekend. Server is launched at 5:35pm.

Then, players exploit a pay-to-win feature on normal servers and instantly start with level 50s, begin transfering the free plat and powerleveling alts. Server is immediately locked but players that got in (even with exploits) are allowed to keep playing.

Something tells me if this was P99 the devs would be smart enough to shut it down immediately, wipe it, and start it right. I guess you don't always get what you pay for...

I love p99

[Thulack]

Lol pretty sure the exact same thing happened last time they opened a "new" server. People leveled to 50 using their boost at the start.

Half-elf bard's broke #Everquest. :( We're looking into it. All insta-level-50 half elf bards on Ragefire are asked to sit on their hands...

Don't know what is more sad. People who actually feel the need to attempt to exploit that on what is supposed to be a server locked on classic for 6 months, or the fact that they let it get through.

Suppose they are deleting it all single handed since there wasn't that many. But still 200+ 50s

[Itap]

Not sure why this was moved to off topic, it was a flame towards live servers

[Swish]

So tempted to post up a "Consider P99" message in the flame thread(s) on the forums but I won't... too much love for the agreement etc.

[Millburn]

There's lots of misinformation going on here. People weren't creating Heroic characters intentionally but certain race/class combinations were starting off at level 50 with no drop gear and no plat (unlike heroic characters who do start with plat). Most 50's were booted off manually pretty damn quick. Looks like the highest level on the server before the server dropped was level 8.

It's actually not hackers. People are just creating characters or logging in, and sometimes getting boosted as if they bought a heroic character. I only know, since it happened to me.

Since it also appears it's affecting pre-existing characters, I don't know how they can't wipe it now.

[pharmakos]

i created a few characters to see if i could reproduce the bug. seemed to me that everyone was starting with Heroic gear (the gear you get if you pay to instantly boost a character to level 85)... all of which is not tradeable and has a level requirement, meaning it was totally unusable.

the possibility of people using casters to buff lowbies, though, is real. and my level 1 warrior that started with full heroic also had a Jungle Raptor Saddle, which boosted his hp to 336.

they're probably worried that Columbus Nova (Daybreak's parent company) will pull the plug on EQ now. lets hope they fix this shit and everyone keeps giving them money.

That's the best part. It's not even an exploit, it's part of their system they can't turn off for some reason.

i know not ALL the 50s are hackers, but a good deal of them know the bug and exploited it instantly. others got caught in the crossfire. has something to do with religions i believe

I shouldn't have started drinking at 2:30 when the server launched.

From Roshen:
Hey guys,

The team is still hard at work resolving the issue where some players are starting at level 50. It will be at least a few hours until Ragefire is ready.

To Wipe or Not to Wipe... That Is the Question

We're exploring the option of wiping the server. The benefit is it gives everyone a clean slate. The disadvantage of a wipe is it clears all Marketplace purchases on the server.

If we do move forward with a wipe, it'll take some time to replace all purchases for players. Players will also be able to get a full refund for Marketplace items they don't want through customer service by using /petition in-game.

If we need to wipe, we'll be able to reset character claims. No one will lose any beta bags that they already claimed on this server.

More Updates Are Coming

Keeping this thread locked for updates. Feel free to discuss in any of the existing threads below.

All spells are "not classic" for levels etc. eg: Enchanters get clarity at 24 I think. You get spells every level, instead of every 4. Its just live EQ with some quests stripped out and content removed.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

...Its just live EQ with some quests stripped out and content removed.

And that is what baffles me about people wanting to play it. The basic concept is messed up. It's like saying, hey, we fixed you up with a date with the hottest girl from your high school days, except now she's 70 and in the advanced stages of dementia! Hubba hubba!

Unless of course, one actually enjoys those mechanics, and wants to box, and wants to MQ, wants lots of nerfs, wants exp potions, wants quadruple exp weekends when server pop droops, etc.

I think it boils down to boxing. From what I have read here and on other forums, I wonder if the only reason people are playing Ragefire is because there is a substantial # of people who like boxing. That's the draw.

I'm not judging, people play diff, but if p99 ever allowed boxing, or shared banking, or put in universal channels -- all these things this team took care to strip out -- I would have my eyes peeled for another emulator. So thanks to our top eq-nauts for creating this space. You are always welcome at my RL house.

You do know boxing IS classic right? People seem to think just because they weren't aware of it, it didn't happen in classic. It became mainstream from Velious onward but it was around since day 1.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

You do know boxing IS classic right? People seem to think just because they weren't aware of it, it didn't happen in classic. It became mainstream from Velious onward but it was around since day 1.

I know, although it was not common in a competitive environment simply because the player had to be able to vouch their connection was solid enough they could keep more than one box going without fail.

The tech limits of the day made boxing a second and third resort for competitive play, as a general rule, even though of course I remember my guild leader boxing his cleric and his brother's retired enchanter during raids *if* we needed the extra enchanter.

As the 2000's progressed, boxing became more trivial to do. But it was not something you liked to hear -- Hey I am boxing this other char -- during the first couple years of eq. 95% of people's setips and connections were not reliable enough for it. And *that* is classic.

But it is just a matter of taste, and to each their own. But to suggest that boxing was common in classic is just not true. I had 2 boxes -- ie, two computers -- but the lag and random bullshit that just made it a hassle kept me from playing them unless I was just doing something casual. And that was the norm. Boxing was a hassle and a second-resort for raiding in classic.

Lotta people over on the official EQ forums makin threads about moving over to P99; how ironic.

The cool to hang out with people here hugely outnumber the jerks, and cranky souls like me are usually embarrassed enough at our crappy attitudes to keep quiet and enjoy the game when we're logged in. P99's got some douchenozzles and sandyvags for sure, and plenty of saltiness here on the forums, but the cancer is mostly pretty well contained between VP and the red server.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

jeez *everyone* knows the endgame on p99 is kind of ... strange ... but that *is* classic. EQ attracts some strange folks and always has and the end game has always caused hair to grow on the necks even of lady players. If it is not something you want to deal with, there are other ways to play in the sandbox -- truth.

And then there is the bonus. The server is up, gm'd, not broken by rampant haxes and boxes, and the mechanics beat anything Daybreak can or is willing to put out.

We got it damn good. Enjoy the weekend of doing pretty much whatever you want to do on p99 with a drama level that all of a sudden, thanks to the Ragefire fiasco launch, seems very very minor. Seriously. Have a good weekend!

So right......it's absolutely retarded.

There was a guy from TL posting on the TLP forums talkin bout "we worked hard and remained dedicated to reach this accomplishment. we each spent over 100 hours practicing levelling on the TLP beta server before launch"

Yea. These guys literally PRACTICED LEVELLING for the TLP server lmao.

Me personally? I just cannot play EverQuest for that long without losing my mind. No amount of a combination beer, cannabis and caffeine could keep me interested through 100 hours of "practice levelling" followed by another hundred CONSECUTIVE hours of actual server levelling.

Then again word on the forums is that many people saw these guy using bot programs to level their toons; so I suppose their actual time at keyboard was far far less.

[pharmakos]

lots of botting going on
