There's a very high chance

That I may be bringing back the VZTZ server (Garage Box v1 Daxum Edition, Pre-Voidd) myself tonight.

It's not red99, no, not by any stretch of the imagination. But what it is, is EQ PVP without some stupid system added. You guys wanted a form of classic PVP, you got it.

Some things to note:

Quote:

*Null's resist system is in
*Melee is adjusted to be exactly like VZTZ
*The exp rate is not horrid, I want people to get into the action as fast as possible but still give some incentive to group. (1.6 rate)
*It's hosted on a pretty good dedicated box.
*All the fixes and features of EQEmulator are in. If it gets popular I will finish my anti-cheat and add that in too. The anti-cheat will be REQUIRED to play.
* Titanium is REQUIRED right now to play. SoD/SoF/HoT/Underfoot/6.2/Anniversary/Live will *not* work
* It's bound to be buggy. If a crash issue arises, I have ways of fixing them.
* PVP loot is exactly like it was during VZTZ.
* If the playerbase demands classic, it will stay classic.
* Level cap of 50 at all times, classic zones initially during the testing phase. I want to do something custom content, but still in the mindset of classic. If the playerbase demands it, though, Kunark will be finished.
* The database is VZTZ. It's not PEQ, it's not P1999, it's VZTZ's release modified to work with 0.8.0 EQEmulator.
* 1 box limit. I find that boxing 6 characters in PVP ruins the fuck out of things.
* Spellfile is VZTZ's spellfile. If you have the p1999 spellfile, god help you

It may happen today, but if it doesn't it will happen soon. I want to give this community a test whirl and *maybe* get a chance at developing Red99. I doubt the latter will happen though.

The server won't be on the green list, however, it'll be on the whitelist. If I get the go-ahead from Rogean i'll switch it to green provided the population and eqemu devs agree with it.

The reasoning behind all of this? You guys are begging for a home for over 2 months now and have no home. I want that to change. Let's be pals, okay?

Pre-wipe or will our legend status characters remain intact? No qualms about starting at level 1, but would be sweet dunx if my cleric was there

Probably within the next 15 mins, just ported over everything in about ~5 hours.

No, legend status characters will not be there.

It's a fresh start for everyone.
