Going through for feel good vibe testing today. Went to Befallen and for some reason the Troll Shadowknight is level 25 instead of 15, 1500 hp etc, so I reverted him to what he's supposed to be 15/475, bone bladed claymore drops 100%. 10 min zone timer.

Runnyeye I adjusted the warlord down to level 16, he can drop the Blackened Iron Bastard sword 20/47, I also removed the two elites from his room.

The orcs in Highpass drop the Shiny Brass Halberd at 100% if you can spawn him.

There's nothing I can really do for Halas/Qeynos area, I'm not going to lower Karg Icebear a lot or something.

There's easy to access lowbie weapons now that are functioning fine. Misty will flow right into Warlord/some gear a weapon. I might put the 1hnder on the warlord too actually. the 10/35 or whatever.

I am just maximizing flow state of levelling today spells need some work still but I'm too sober for DB grinding.

Very casual two days both toon 41, most of my plat went into Druid spells, War/Druid combo no GM assistance. Blackened Iron Bastard sword, Split paw mask and on to Specs.

Level 40 was like 3-4 specs, then 2-3 each level, probably could do 39-49 or so in a couple hours if that. Prove I can handle the content, I have the spells/gear or whatever needed to handle level 40ish mobs and move on.

Not sitting here for 4 weeks to get through level 45 just to have your box shut down (Quarm), gotta be out of your fucking mind.

Bro what in the world is going in here?

Still remember one shotting you zoning to Feerrot as my only encounter with you in EQ carry on lil Samwise from Ferris Buellers day off.

But to answer your question, take this thread as my Everquest social media page, that I keep you updated on the best EMU on the list and our improvements, we are "Early Access" but not yet 100% finished product.

But to clarify the best means I am not a complete custom TAKP source pile of shit like ROT, and I'm not, "single class PVP server fatty bower".

It really doesn't take much to be the best.

Wish u were here Cameron.

Also, do you want to know why ROT uses TAKP Source? It's because when they made all those shitty ROZ boxes they were using Guild Wars source or old image/devnoob garbage. So them upgrading was like I guess we'll go all in on TAKP, even though it runs and feels like shit.

CONCLUSION? They won't do what I did and make it from scratch ever. They can't, or they are unwilling to spend the time. You guys call me crazy like it's a bad thing.
