Thought I would post some information on Emu Project Lazarus Sever. I've since retired from Live EQ and moved onto Emu due the random banwaves that seem to keep occurring. I find Lazarus fits my pace of play nowadays with kids and other fatherly duties. MQ2/E3 allowed for boxing (No AFK macros or Warping/Ghost killing). I personally switch between Redguides compile and Laz custom mq2 E3 compile. Both work effectively. Redguides compile just offers some more quality of life plugins (mq2 react etc) than the dated compile E3 is run with. However their new compile does include Mq2Nav which makes it much more tolerable.
Getting started on Laz wasn't hard at all. The global drop rates for plat/armor are unique and welcomed. Lvl 1's also can be buffed by level 70s so the lower levels tend to fly by quickly!

Code:
Project Lazarus is a OoW era server. With an overall goal of catering to a wide variety of playstyles, the server offers a healthy serving of rebalanced and custom content while retaining familiar roots to the base game. Many of the server features, offering something for virtually everyone, can be found below:
ROF2 Client which includes all available Quality of Life features
Boxing up to 6 (+1 for Bazaar Traders)
Out of Era Alternate Advancement
Custom currency drops and Raid gear merchants.
Tradeable loot (Attunable above 125 hp/mana, Epics are no trade.)
No level requirements on loot with the exception of certain procs and click effects
Custom Race/Class combos, including custom Beastlord pets
Bonus custom content aimed at both new and advancing players
Epic 1.0s buffed from classic versions for increased relevance ( Buffed 1.5 and 2.0s now as well)
Raid tuning balanced for 2 groups. (PoP Elemental-Time: 3 groups)
Low Tuning on GoD Raids for additional high end challenge
Instancing for high demand group/raid content.
Buff, Rez, and Port NPCs among other Quality of Life additions.
Lots of tweaks and adjustments to classes for increased viability
MQ2/E3 allowed for boxing (No AFK macros or Warping/Ghost killing)
And more...
Players who prefer to true solo (or run less than a full group) will benefit from features such as custom currency that gives alternate access to mid-high tier raid gear and the open tradability of the vast majority of items, along with increased XP in instances for soloers. Buff and Rez NPCs also keep those players from doing without the necessities that allow you to get into the action like anyone else. If you’re the type that’s mad enough to solo a rogue to max level, why not enjoy a fresh rez and some warm buffs while you prepare to take on all of Norrath once again!
Those running a full group, casual or high end focused, will find wider group building possibilities with rebalanced classes (Additional main healer viability to Druid/Shaman and empowered battle Clerics for example) that allow for more interesting group combinations with potential to tackle all aspects of the game. No Holy Trinities required, unless you’re into that sort of thing.
The raid scene offers difficulty balanced with 2-3 group raid forces in mind, up to Plane of Time and LDoN, along with a selection of custom Fabled raid targets that offer unique gear and challenges of their own. Flagging and keying is also opened up to allow more players to freely progress from group to raid content by simply bringing along a friend or two, or making new ones to progress alongside of! Additionally, Gates of Discord offers a formidable trove of raid content for those on the cutting edge who wish to test themselves.
Custom quests for server specific starting gear are available to put new players on the path of progression as they level into custom mid and higher tier quests, along with an incredibly deep selection of AAs that keep characters feeling like they have room to grow for a very long time.
The server community is active and involved, with many features aimed towards the spirit of comradery and a low drama experience among the population (MGB XP Potion in PoK! No Batphones required.), along with active GM presence and veteran players who are quick to offer advice or an assist to their fellow players, whether in OOC chat or the server Discord.
Lazarus has continued to grow and flourish past its one year anniversary with every new update, and every new face. So why not hop on by (yes, Frogloks are playable), settle in, and check it out for yourself?
