Hey everyone,
I'm a long-time EQ vet that actually started playing in '99 (got the game the day before servers went up, had to redo the offline tutorial over and over again lol) and played pretty solid until LDoN before giving the game a break for about 12 years. Picked it up for a few months on Ragefire in 2016 (Kunark era) and now recently discovered Project Lazarus, which I intend to explore with a full party.
I learned about MQ by watching Ion Blaze's video about the 4 ways of "ch3ating" in EQ, and I'm posting here after watching Doc Legendary's video from about a year ago. Back on Ragefire, I ran a 6-box party using IsBoxer, which was a real PAIN to configure and still required a lot of effort to manage. When Doc Legendary said using MQ is like turning Everquest into a real-time strategy game, he caught my attention. I like the idea of fiddling with the various class configs until they are doing exactly what I want without me having to press any buttons (kinda like the gambit system in FF XII).
I'd like to know if anyone has any specific information to share, related or not to the Project Lazarus server, and how I can go about paying for a level 2 sub. I want to support this site and the Lazarus server (already know how to donate to them via paypal). I am sitting on a dozen krono or so on live servers, and I read that it is possible to pay with those so any help with that would be appreciated as well!
Oh and just to show how excited I am about playing with this new "toy", my gf and I are going on vacation for 10 days in a few hours, and I'm bringing a gaming laptop so I can play this in our hotel room after she goes to bed every night (I say laptop, but my bag is big enough for a full size gaming keyboard and mouse too!)
Anyway looking forward to reading through all the information and guides that are here and get started leveling my crew. Thanks in advance for any tips, tricks or information you guys can share, it's greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
DrakeEnterich
