Back to K & B

Personally, I think the best option would be to put it on both loginservers like PEQ does. I don't think image trusts Rogean with his playerbase, thus, he's on another loginserver. A majority of people do trust him (p1999, ez, peq, thf, funhouse, storm haven) and a majority of people will play just due to seeing it on the list. I guarantee you'd have more people playing on K&B if it was on Rogean's list instead of their own login, not because one is better than the other, but because one is more popular and more accessed than the other.

As for the eqgame checks... that's at the worldserver level, not the loginserver level... store CRC32 and freeze people who dont have it past level x, simple solution imo.

Funny we were talking about this because it is now (literally from the last hour or so) also on the EQEmu Official LS, but still requires the patch.

So there's now two ways to log in: you can still log on through eqpvp log in, or your eqemu log in, but obviously characters are tied to their respective accounts. For anyone interested (at some time) make sure to make a copy of your eqgame.exe and keep it somewhere for when you want to overwrite it.

K & B is dead, sorry to inform you

You can take solace, however, in the fact that this new VZTZ will probably meet the same fate within a month or two

I've always been curious as to why you're so negative towards the PVP community. Who shit in your cornflakes bro?

If there's anything that I will agree with in this thread, it's the common hatred for classic that some seem to share.

I don't want to make a classic server, but the majority of people have been very vocal about wanting to play something similar to red99, and not custom stuff. As a custom server developer and supporter of custom servers, this irks me. Nothing creative can come out of EverQuest as a result, it's why I dropped my "Mythical Lands" codebase and started to work on a red classic server, because it'll actually attract people to start playing on it due to it being somewhat like classic.

I actually liked K & B PvP. I wouldn't agree with some systems, classic or not, but I have my own reasons.

The one thing that I hated that came out of K & B was the playerbase whining about dispellable effects acting as WoW-style "cleanse" spells. That put the nail in the coffin at any chance to make a custom PvP server, and even though it was one person whining about it, it sure did make a negative impact on the server. This is why we can't have nice things, I thought the idea was brilliant, it stops what I thought was the main issue with dispell.

About the attraction to my server... I really don't get it. I spent 5 hours on my server preparing it, and about 3 days fixing crash issues, and had a population of about 60 on release. That population will slowly dwindle a bit as people get bored of it/lack of things to do in classic/the half-finished DB boring them/exp rates being too high resulting in there being one pvp level (50), but again, I have made some custom servers and none of them have been that popular on release. That pisses me off. I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way.

I've yet to figure out why. Is there not enough repeatable or expansive content in a custom PvP server? I don't know at this point. Just wanted to put that out there, though.

The people who like classic like it because they know the exploits and advantages. They don't want to learn something new, they just want to basement dwell for 20+ hours then lulz for a day or so killing newbs and be done.

AG's original layout was very nice, it just bombed due to lack of endgame content, and a few balance issues (non-dark druids/rangers/pala's), cross faction, and some bullshit with the combat system.

If tarwine had tossed 2 or 3 sweet "boss" style mobs (2.5 group, summoning), and placed them strategically it would have been a really fun experience.

The problem is with that is again, there's no instructions telling you to get on K&B's website to download the client. People (ie; mindless zombie players that see LOL POPULATION) will try and log in, fail, and either: Look at the website (25% chance), or give up (75% chance)

The easiest way would be to funnel everyone who doesn't have the eqgame into their own zone, or restrict features without the eqgame.

Looks like image is going to allow the unpatched exe for low level combat soon. I wish him the best of luck, and maybe people will trickle into his server that otherwise couldn't.


As for me, well, I am also planning on giving up the anti-cheat idea until I can find a better method of prevention. With that, I am also enabling SoF/SoD/Underfoot clients soonish for usage.
