• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

This is one of those things that we can try all we like to log into EQ without patching, but ultimately it required downloading the new eqgame.exe file which will then requires the new RG VV being updated. Not all patches require new client files, but in both cases today it did.
Advising folks to not patch EverQuest is like advising them to just not play the game. The message should be something like "see if you can login without patching the game".

Days like these are good for catching up on tradeskills, or just doing some general toon organizing. There is always something to do if you are logged in.

Actually I was trying to do that today bit just as it selected the sever screen to go to toon selection it would say I was disconnected. Thought I might have been banned for the ise of mq2. When I closed them out thats when I realized there was a patch today and after patching and being able to log in I was so relieved.

I actually use this time like @BlankStare said - which is catch up on tradeskills, old quest, inventory management, etc..

...but what it REALLY gives me is a reminder what MQ offers and not. Coloring, maps, and more - it's easy to forget what the baseline features are.

Isn't that the truth. I instinctively typed out one of my macros to summon things and then was like, oh right. When you're using MQ2 non-stop it's features just become a core part of the game. I'm raiding tonight w/o it until a new release is uploaded, which is making me realize how many features I take for granted, lol. Luckily I should only have to single box tonight!
 
I tried to bypass the patcher today, but it did not work for me, it loaded the game without patching but then the game just disconnects you...
 
Very happy to see the new pick zones added.
"Have fun stormin' the castle!"... once we have ability to do so again.

I'm also very happy I finally finished with some ridiculously long quests this am between the patches while VV was working. Only needed some final handing in of quest stuff for all my toons. I will never do PoWar again...

Lol - yes...
As a completionist with most everything (showing my OCD)... I had to do everything!
The last bits were going back to finish up the Edmuund's quest which is not required to gain access to The Grand Master.

I do enjoy the challenges but damn... everything with PoWar was built to be a massive time sink!
