• 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

Hey everyone new to MQ2 looking to get an understanding of how things work before the new TLP drops. I've watched the red guide videos some other set up content from various creators.

What's your number one "Don't forget to..." Tip for a new user? I have boxed manually in the past and I just don't have the desktop space so I'm going to check out very vanilla over the next little while excited to play around.
 
Getting Started / Returning user

Welcome to RedGuides, fellow EQ multi-boxing enthusiast!

The best place to begin is our "New User Guide" video series, click this TV to watch:


This step-by-step series will teach absolute beginners how to control 6 characters at once while highlighting Nav, AutoLogin, and DanNet, which are fundamental plugins that will enhance every aspect of your game.

Returning users check out - MacroQuest Release Party: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/macroquest-release-party.80628/ for information about changes from the legacy MQ2 to the new and awesome MQ


Unfortunately that is a tall ask - because eq is a big game, and by extension mq is further comlicated.

The best piece of advice i could give you is be patient with yourself - you'll have "tiers of success". things can be really frustrating when you start figuring out *what you dont know* and it feels as an unfair layer to already feeling lost and helpless.

other tips:
- join the RG discord
- be willing to *hear* (not necessarily accept, but at least hear) that maybe the ways you do things, or things you "prefer" might not be the way folks might otherwise suggest - mq and just the age of eq has changed a lot of things that "used by be"
- remember you're playing eq to have fun, if it starts being unfun take a break
 
The RG community is fantastic. Don't be afraid to roll up 6 chars, then another 6, and another 6 to mix and match. There is no wrong way to enjoy EQ with Redguides. You will never experience EQ the same way again. Welcome!
 
#1 tip....download your maps. Goods and Brewells, linked elsewhere on this site

Start on test server cause MQ doesn't work on TLP

How can you not have the desktop space, unless you mean the top of your desk is messy. :) EQ runs on specs of lint and takes up no space really. I mean some players are still running Win 7 so you know they have less space

I became a long-haul truck driver about 5 years ago so my gaming space is now a single laptop that is usually very bouncy.

Been a brewalls fan forever 8)

Welcome Mike. Redguides is great man. Still a lot of daily interaction and new information.

Probably the best tip I can give is to check out Sic's signature and watch all of the "Other Videos:" as a start.

Also, if you're planning on starting on the upcoming TLPs, and they are going to be true box (I don't know not my type of servers), then MQ won't be supported. At least until they drop the true box.

Enjoy man,

BB~

Edit Spelling- "as a start" not "ass a start"
