If anyone is looking to try new content

I would not recommend Rise of Zek. To start from the bottom, the discord is "moderated" by a member of the biggest guild on the server, who unquestionably demonstrates bias on what is able to be said and by whom. The previous version of the server, Rise of Zek 2.0, saw population climb from 200 to 10 within days when developers and "GMs" decided to implement changes catering to players spamming and lobbying for things to benefit their side. This newer version of the server, " Legends" currently has best in slot Luclin geared characters that were geared using bard exploits allowing members to 1 shot any NPC in the game. If you would like to play Planes of Power with 20 people 6 boxing instanced content, by all means. But I personally will be playing Reign of Thule. I would like to add that Rise of Zek has implemented alot of weird custom " Drugbox " changes which features weird things like guild camps, instanced content, and pvp vendors which really takes away from the classic element of the game.

why does downloading a proprietary launcher / game files seem like a bad idea to me... hmm...

So far this hasn’t changed my mind. Rise of zek still the best pvp server on emu atm even if you try and make up a few lies about it. Thanks for the comment and support in rise of zek!

Works great, haven’t seen any complaints about it

[Raclen]

Rise of Zek strayed from what they set out to be originally. It is completely different niche server at this point. If people like it good for them but it isn't something that people from Project 1999 or others who enjoy classic Everquest are going to like.

Instances
3+ boxing
Guild camps with buffing guards/teleports
pvp points

At this point it is just a playground for the devs to create stuff they think is interesting like a devnoob server. Very niche.

I played roz briefly. I didnt really have any friends to play with and didn't totally agree with the direction of the box but it was pretty decent i think it was a success. This time I am starting out with a guild and will have allies that are (hopefully) mature and resolute i'm looking forward to giving it a shot. I don't play anything atm i'm so invovled in rl I don't even know how I will pull this off hehe.

[nottitanuk]

i agree its not for everyone

some people are just tired of classic-velious content

emu pvp been around since 2008 and has never gone past velious so its a nice change.

i support all pvp servers tho in hopes one gets a good population

[Raclen]

It just takes out most of the good stuff with EQ unfortunately. I assume it was to fix the low population problem but that in turn just alienates more people and hurts the population more. If you want a good pve game with instances there is a lot of competition. There isn't a classic-kunark EQ pvp option out there right now so pretty much any new box is going to be able to get some attention.
