• 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

Portables and EQ

My portable died and I am in the market to buy a replacement. I would like some suggestions on which laptops can 2 box (or more) without much lag. Suggestions from people that are actually using their portable for EQ is what I really would like.

Thx
 
I'm running a Dell Inspiron E1505, 256mb nvidia card, 1gig ram, and I can 2box easily. I could probably run a third box if I turned off other programs and dialed down from full graphics.
 
I'd say you could probably run two to three accounts on a number of laptops as long as you realize the resources you need. Each instance of EQ runs about 400+mb of ram so for running two accounts you would need more than a gig of ram for sure to run it comfortably. Intel's built in video cards will not work for this it needs to be a 6800 type nvidia card with like 256mb of ram or something like that (or a similar ati video card) in order for it to function well. A mid to higher end processor offering, I'd say an 80gb or larger hard drive and have separate folders for your separate eq sessions. Other than that I'm not sure how much it matters as they're all going to be networkable, etc.
