Veeshan's Peak: The coolest place I've never been to.

[Hottbiscuits Dreadmuffin]

80% chance I won't ever see it, but I had some questions..

1) How many people go to Veeshan's Peak on a regular basis?

2) Is a raid required to go?

Bonus Question) If I got keyed and had dubious or better faction with Ring of Scale, could I casually stroll into Veeshan's Peak and make fanciful tea time with the Dragon inhabitants?

Old times required that you finished the whole thing. You couldn't port out nor exit the way you entered. Sort of an all or nothing expericence, but they changed that (Luclin-LDoN time frame?) All that being said not alot of people have gone through there except for big raiders, others were worried about losing there corpse/gear.

[Hasbinbad]

1.) none
2.) no, since it's not open
3.) who cares?

1. None atm, but 24 ish 4 groups was the norm iirc

2. No, unless you want to kill stuff.

bonus: no, the drakes/wurms are KoS to all

Thanks! I was hoping that I'd be able to explore the place at least if I couldn't find a group/raid to go.

[Ektar]

the top guilds should make friends with each other incase one wipes so another can raid and get their corpses back.

I don't see why this is can't happen.

oh but you can sir, on a different EMU server! lot of fun cruisin around Ntov, vp, velks etc

That thought had crossed my mind. I've always wanted to see all of Plane of Mischief (I always got lost around the Chess room) and places I'd never seen like VP.

I'm just weary about spending hours-days of my time building a character on a server that I don't plan on sticking to. I suppose though it may be worth it, I really want to see all those dragons and stuff.

Also, that sounds terrifying.

Teeth monopoly. Won't happen.

You'll probably see some vox staffs seeing some heavy usage, though.

[quellren]

Yo can get to 60 in about 6-7 hours of playtime on EZ server, and use the bot to port you into VP if you want to look around. You don't even need a key. I think.
The effort isn't a total waste. I have a 60 mage on EZ server that I use once or twice a month to scout out zones. I used it this week to to check out the easiest way to get to the permafrost animal pits.

I haven't looked at it a while, but if it's still up, Ashenback (the practice-raid server by P99 players) auto levels you to 50 with all visible planar gear and epic 1.0, the exp rate is absurd. You could probably level 50-60 in a few hours. (I duoed mag/clr 50-54 in like 90 mins)
You'd just have to get the key =(

[Tiggles]

Devs take as much time as you need dealing with RL things and don't listen to the people crying for VP to be released. Real life always comes first and foremost and when that is settled take all the time you need to make a fine tuned and polished encounter.

Besides this gives TMA ample time to farm keys

I for one would drag corpses for TR any day of the week if it meant we could be civil to each other during raids rushes.

I have a feeling you're not the only one with that thought. The problem is, eventually one of you will have to concede the race to a target. Someone has to physically lose at some point, and the reaction/aftermath from that loss would drive future sentiment.

Thanks for the info! I'll check those out

there was heavy sarcasm and resentment in my tone :P

As a child all through out high school and into college I played in some sort of athletic league usually wrestling. (no homo)

When ever we had a meet we tried our hardest to win and/when we lost I never got upset at the person who beat me. Keep in mind this is not sitting at a computer hitting buttons this is some 7 foot mongoloid manhandling you on the mat in front of your girlfriend, and if I ever acted like a sore loser both my father and coach would kick my ass.

Now i'm not saying I don't get mad when we lose Trak and i definitely will call out the reasons why we lost such an encounter but I would never seriously rage at another guild and deny them a rezz or a drag during a CR unless the mob is still in contention.

You don't see professional athletes rage at other teams after games and that how i would like to see this server behave.

Now you might ask "but Tiggles you talk the most trash out of anyone in your guild" And I would agree with you, but none of it is with venom I enjoy the competition and what I enjoy more is eliciting a reaction out of people who think we are sworn enemies.

I did an experiment the other day when I got my sky haste belt.

I linked it to Hasbinbad and called him a scrub and he replied in the same joking manner and when he got his via the GM event I called it Charity Haste. He knew i was ribbing him on and we had a funny back and fourth conversation.

I linked it to Shiftin and he blew up tells/ooc flaming me linking items from his guild and explaining how he passed on that belt 8 months ago and why a RBG is better and i'm a scrub etc etc to the point where the GM who was hidden in the zone mentioned something to me.


I would expect Hasbinbad to drag my corpse if needed but Shiftin would probably drag it under trak if given the chance.


Both guilds have their Hasbinbads and their Shiftins

Who are YOU?

[Skope]

jesus christ, can we get a few more options in there? i don't think i want to be sinbad or shiftin.

We just bound our guild together, dueled, died, dueled at bind, died, ressed in for corpse, resed out for exit.

[Doors]

I think TR and TMA should merge into one super zerg guild with intentions of completely monopolizing every single meaningful item camp in the game. You could call it The Mystical Tranny Ascension Rampage and not let any other guild on the server claim a single target.

[guineapig]

There is at least 1 server floating around where most GM commands are fully enabled.

If you are just interested in looking around new places or getting the hang of certain maps it's a fun tool.

I was never able to get the GM invis command to work so things that are not green will agro but you can just level yourself to 85, summon any gear you want and use any spells in the game to plow through them and actually see the sites undisturbed.
Also many boss mobs will not be up by default. For example, most of the bosses in PoP need to be summoned via GM command.

While it is quick to level up on EZ server, since it's not a realistic EQ experience and you are probably not interested in investing time in the character, this is maybe a better alternative.

This is also a great server for making EQ movies or just grabbing fun screenshots of hard to reach locations and mobs.

That'd be awesome, I just want to ghost around and see the zones really. It'd be fantastic to fight in them one day though.

[Shiftin]

Tiggles, it was the second or third time in three days you had tried to troll me about the same thing, and you did it in OOC. You seemed unaware that any haste much faster than about 25% is equal to a raiding rogue at this point in the game. If you want to say you were aware and it was a grand social experiment in trolling and eliciting a response then that's fine man, tell the story however makes you feel better. This isn't RNF though, so go make a new thread there if you want to continue your weird obsession with me.

Hottbiscuits, there is also a server called "MySF Rev (GM Commands)" or something similar that you can get into VP safely in a few minutes. If you can't find it, let me know in game or PM and i'll get you the exact name.

When you make a character and log in, target yourself and
#setlevel 85
#setskill all 400

Then make a couple hotkeys:
/target yourself, #heal (i think the command is in the MOTD)

Do #findspell cazic. There will be something called "cazic touch II" on the list with a number. Make a macro that is #cast thatnumber. This hotkey will deathtouch anything you want for 500,000 damage. Even at 85 stuff will aggro you, so alternating F8 and that hotkey will keep killing all the trash that attacks you if it gets to be too much.

Now you're ready.

#zone veeshan

Once inside, immediately do
#invul on

You may also want to do #flymode 1 which will allow you to fly around the zone rather than walk. The mobs inside are untuned default versions of the revamped VP mobs, but they are all the same models as the original VP dragons and the architecture is the same as VP has always been. Happy exploring, this is a great way to learn and explore zones you're not familiar with before taking your main there.

edit: dang it guineapig beat me to it.

[guineapig]

Yes but you remembered the server name, got the level cap right (unlike me) and actually listed a couple GM commands so it's not as if you didn't add more information. :)

[Skope]

shiftin, i think his intention was to bait you and he did a damn good job at it.

You need to relax, broseph. Don't take EQ so god damn seriously. At the end of the day it's just an emulated server of a game that barely anyone plays anymore. You should be here to have fun not brag, boast and get all emotional.

[Ektar]

the difference between a wrestling meet and eq is that when IB got to every mob faster and killed it more easily, transcendence rationalized we were cheating. Like, they couldn't comprehend how we could not be cheating. They then used this as an OK to begin cheating. (and still lose hoho)

I use transcendence because they have been exposed and are gone.. that is all.

[Lazortag]

Both guilds have their Hasbinbads and their Shiftins

Who are YOU?

Good lord... that's like choosing between Creed and Nickelback.

And thats bullshit reasoning, when we lost Trak and a minority of my guild started complaining about TR I was the first person along with the leadership to point out the main reason we lost was we had a lock of mobilization because some people left Traks lair when he was in window or could not get down to his lair.

It's no ones fault and we are still having growing pains and we will get trak again this weekend for sure. But blaming the opposing guild for being more prepared is ridiculousness.

Shiftin: That's perfect! Thank you for all of the info :D I'll try and work out out tonight, if I hit a snag I'll ask you. Much appreciated

I just tried it in the last hour. Couldn't connect with either the Titanium or SoD client. It's up, but there's 0 people logged in to the server, and I got a timeout error 1017(i think?) and never made it to char select.

[Aadill]

Morrell Thule: The Resurrection has some GM commands including #level, #zone, #cast, and #summonitem (#search and #findspell are helpful here). There are a few problems with the server, though: Double attack and dual wield seem broken at the moment, so don't try fighting stuff. Pretty much everything is untuned and unpathed, but if you're looking to just explore a zone it's another possibility.

I've had brief periods where it didn't work for me. It's obviously not super reliable unforunately :/

If you ooc (world chat) for a GM/Admin I would be happy to help you get anywhere you want.

Ashenback is my server. I have all of the keys.

I'm on most evenings and I'm looking for other GM's to keep things going while I'm away. Right now we're in a semi-test and tweak phase. Everything seems to work fine but until we get a handful of people breaking stuff who knows.

Oh, Duie has keys too.

I didn't read this thread so sorry if someone else already posted, but only the named see invis. So if you get keyed, and aren't KoS, you can go in and invis past the wurms if you want to go check out all the cool dragons.

I used to pull VP on my bard in live.

[Duie]

yeah if you need any help on ashenback , just send me a tell on Duies or Duie on p99 and ill be happy to assist you as best i can.
