I am currently working a on a velious eqserver debating on boxing limit 3 or 6 box what do you guys think also It should be ready in about 4 months ill keep you posted on updates but remember it wont be perfect and there will be a few out of era items also for the first 4 months classic items like mana stone and de mask will drop 1 took about 2 minutes to make a discord server for chatter and were I will post updates https://discord.gg/S6VWEznwWG =P Server is up after work on the main server is finished will work on others so you can start in classic and work your way up as you wish
UPDATE:1 removed some out of era items and ive got a good host lined up 2cpu cores and 16gb of ram if anyone wants to check this out feel free and if any one wants to help with this hit up my pms I also plan on making a luclin server after thej velious one is complete Update2: I'm working on removing race/class penalties at the moment the server is coming online right now thelong name is project classic box the short name pcb and I hope everyone enjoys it for now some raid mobs vs lodi naggy vox are dropping every epic in the game with a drop rate depending on how hard the epic is to get and im working on an experience modifier aswell so it won't be too slow I upped the limit to 12 box for now I hope to see you soon for more status update you can join the discord server Update3: class and race penalties are gone and some more out of era items are gone aswell as a xp bonus has been added!

I know but this one will be more focused on velious era content and I plan to run 1 server per expansion eventually with a 1 time cloning for accounts towards the next expansion so people can choose which expansion they want to play plus some different qol changes but I play on quill occasionaly its a good server it what inspired me to work on mine

Sounds good, it's been a lot of fun boxing a full group in classic era. Any other expansion level will be great to so let us know when you are setup!

Does it have the class/race exp penalties? I tried Quillmane. It was just what I was looking for except it has race/class penalties/bonuses which makes it impossible to box a group and keep the characters in a reasonably level range.

Im working on removing them I feel it's not to big a deal but I had to take the server down for now while I work on it I will post when its back up

I like velious but i think the following expansion add some low level zones which are nice.
It is also adding the AA and bazaar.
I would tend to open all the 60 level expansion at once. That is up to Luclin.
Problem is the items from one expansion make the previous one irrelevant.
if I had plenty of time, I would balance the items of expansion of the same level in order to avoid making the previous ones totally irrelevant.

alright boys server will be up at the latest by tomorrow I decided to let you 12 box aswell and the first guild to kill any raid target thats a dragon gets a reward and pm every 20 levels you will get 1k plat for a limited time and im going to boots the xp for the launch if anyone wants to help hmu

i might have to give this a try if all that stuff is still in

 

[Forgotmyinfo]

i was all in but then i saw the only basic mq2 + isoboxer, i dont use isoboxer at all and as far as basic mq2 goes, i would end up doing a ton of work by hand. I'm gonna respectfully bow out.

 

[swootton]
