• 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

Question - VPN and MQ2

Hello All,
Need to start using VPN (ISP Cox, some how added latency to my connection MS was 25 now its 200). Question is when I use expressVPN I notice that the characters are not communicating with each other on MQ (meaning none of the commands transfer from one instance to another), I turned off VPN and it works. Is there a setting that I'm missing on MQ to make it work when using VPN?

That depends if you are using Dannet or eqbc.

Using Dannet,
Also what VPN service do you guys use if you don't mind me asking? Tried Express VPN but not sure Dannet likes it or my setup is bogus, i tried all three options with the corresponding applications that should be in there.
Option 1

Yes it does, i have a ticket with Cox and they are not able to fix their routing or if they are throttling me to DBG, instead they tried to sell me a GAMERS PACKAGE for 5 more bucks a month. We (few people in San Diego) found out last week during a raid that we are getting 200ms and was not able to fix it, so tried a VPN services that i use for other things and i went from 200ms down to 60 when using Los Angeles location. Fixed my lag issue also, i let DBG know as well if they get call's, also sent them the logs from the DBG.log file showing zoning from GL to GH taking 3 mins with no VPN and 20 seconds with VPN. Then our other buddy in San Diego with ATT works like a charm. But ATT not available where I'm at in the boonies.

I configure my VPN to run off my router so that all traffic coming from my house is automatically routed through the VPN instead of the software solution that only works on the devices that have it installed. That would solve any problem with a VPN highjacking local P2P connections.
