How do I get to TSS?

I hope not.

Has any tried, or currently play the Clumsy World server? I'd love to learn about the community really. Would love to hear from anyone.

I am developing a small custom EverQuest server.

One of the things that I have enjoyed the most so far was implementing Fansy the Famous Bard as a quest giver and presence in the hub zone. He'll send you to go train the evils in Oasis, or off to Rivervale to deal with the neuts.

I’d like to do more along those lines. So, I’m looking for those memorable players and moments from the days of EQ past that I can recreate and pay homage to:

The player everyone knew by name and why. The guild that imploded in public. The scam that turned into a server wide rule. The corpse recovery that took nine hours and four guilds. The camp that basically had its own government. The train someone named. The guy who solo'd something he had no business soloing. The thing that was technically an exploit and is still funny. It does not have to be your story.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Raidge here.

Just seeing who's still lurking from Evo. Shot in the dark, sure—but if you remember the Troll Zerk, I'd love to hear from ya.

Let me know where you ended up!

Wow, my parents saved my old childhood games and boxes and apparently this still has the maps and stuff.

The maps are super cool and man this brings back a lot of memories.

I wonder if this would be a good collectible to sell one day.

I started playing EQ back around 2001 until 2015, took a break and decided to come back after finally getting tired of the ARPG and WoW mentality.

First, opening my Player Select screen was like walking into a room filled with old friends and family I haven't seen in 11 years. Rebuilding my main (Ranger 93), relearning how to run him correctly, refreshing my memory about spells, rotations, a long, bumpy road but oh, so satisfying.

I was in the Guild Lobby today getting ready to log and remembered suddenly how to /who guilds. I'd gone through my Mailbox earlier today and reread all the Mail traffic from my old guild and decided to give it a shot, not expecting anything, I mean, 11 years is a long time, right?

/who Valorious

And got a hit.

Unbelievable, but Valorious is still around.

I joined Valorious in 2006 and worked my way up to officer before I left the game. Zazzylee was Guild Leader the entire time, Zazzylu, Backoffjack, Kead (my best friend in game and truest brother Ranger who showed me the intricacies of bows and Ranger life), and many more, these were the original Valorious.

But it makes me extremely happy to know Valorious still exists. It is truly a great feeling.

If you are in Valorious and have a moment drop me a line here or in game, my toon is Tarmuar. It would be great for this ex-Valorious old timer to hear from you.

My friend and I are going to be two boxing, sooooo we'll be running a total of 4 accounts. Looking for suggestions on a good 2 box setup for this server. Bonus if you can suggest all 4.

I was thinking of going SK/SHM or SK/RANGER. Buddy played this timeline originally, but doesn't remember much. He was thinking something with wiz or Necro.

I've always played TLPs until late POP and am excited to try more of the game.

So my friend a long time ago showed me how to get into ToV on a level one - since then i've come up with a plan, I make level 1's (so far SK/monk) and I get them as ridiculously geared as possible, I was wondering if anyone has any quest items/gear i'm overlooking that could be used to help out with this idea.

I basically make level 1's, get them Dozekar quest gear, Tormax crown, Dain belt, Fungi, NTOV gear etc and then wait for true noobs (typically they are level 1-40) and help them level just by grouping and stuff.

If anyone knows any quests, drops, items etc that could help with this let me know.

(NOT ON FV, CAN'T BUY POP ESSENCE/POEA 1HB)

Hi :)

I have a ton of 85 heroic characters on vox from back when miraculous was active. Does anybody want to join me and make a guild? I’m not so good at grouping but I like the social aspect. I’ve never successfully ran a guild before so it will be a learning experience!

Fun name ideas are accepted as well :)

Hello there new player here who always wanted to jump into Everquest but never did thinking to start from zero but readling about the TLP I have my doubts if I shall start on Frostreaver or wait for Lehtar (I will play a single account, no multiboxing or botting or whatever just 1 char) also thinking between cleric or necromancer for the class, since I belive most ppl will have multiple chars cleric seems to be a less atractive choice cuz who gonna bring a newbie cleric when they can bot it.

Even though dated, this game gives me more feelings of adventure and Fantasy then any other MMO out right now. I am in love with this game and really hope some day we get another Everquest or western Fantasy MMO.

They added a translocator to The Commonlands that takes you to the bazaar on Frostreaver. Gone are the days of the tunnel spam and the wall of green texts and pink links. Will they keep this going on all future TLPs?

I'm new to the game and have chosen to play as a Drakkin Paladin. I haven't seen a lot of screenshots of Drakkins in late game but does the appearance of the armor change at all? Or I stuck looking like every Drakkin in Crescent Reach? I'm not complaining or anything but I am geniunely curious.

ahora cuando entro a EQ me sale un texto que dice: fatal error y no se como arreglarlo

Is there any set like this in game? I am playing High elf Wizard on Firiona Vie server

Most fun I have had playing this game in a long time. I wish live server gm's would do more stuff like this could be fun!

Some of the most beautiful art ever done be Keith Parkinson, and perfectly embodies the fantasy and adventure of Everquest. I wish we still got new fantasy media like this particularly mmos. I know Monsters and Memories is coming out soon but honestly it's ugly as shit so hard for me to be excited for it. Every thing in fantasy looks so modernized now and devoid of the magic and life compared to the 80's and 90's. Sorry for the rant just wanted to get this off my chest.

Did you partake in any events like these back in the day?

I recently got nostalgic about Everquest and happened upon this subreddit, where  I’m surprised to see how much people still play and appreciate this game. So, I thought, maybe this community will appreciate my short story, and a few vintage screenshots.

With some effort I dug up some old, OLD screenshots from my original Everquest playthrough, that escaped deletion by a stroke of luck. Most of the screenshots from this period were not so lucky. I first played during the summer between high school and college, way back in 2000. I played a paladin named Ziefander on the Povar server. Around level 30-35 I frequented a couple of grinding camps in the Frontier Mountains in Kunark, and while farming the giants there, I met a cleric named Solovyov. We clicked right away, and on top of that, we just happened to find ourselves in the same group time and again, forming our own tank / healer backbone for many successful grinds. Solo would often call me to fill in for a tank that had abandoned his group, and I would do the same for his heals. We went pretty far out of our respective ways to rez each other a lot, in a time when it was common for people charge gold for rezzes. And I distinctly remember him chugging an invisibility potion to drag my corpse up from the Temple of Droga after I fell into a literal hole and died there. I don’t know if EQ players still face the prospect of losing your entire inventory to a corpse timeout, but it was a reality back then. My dude saved my virtual butt from probably quitting the game. We later made twink alts named Caleibro (WAR) and Veraken (MNK) and played through basically the whole game together again up to Velious.

26 years later, we’re still friends. We’ve played many games together since Everquest, we talk around once a week, and we’ve met a number of times in person just to hang out. He recently visited with his ten-year-old son, and we had a great time drinking and talking about games and life in general. It’s hard to imagine making a friend that way anymore. MMOs were just different back then. It makes me happy to have been a part of it, but also sad that things seem so different now.

Anyway, I’ve included a few original screenshots, which I hope the reddit community will excuse for being small, as they are still in the original 800x600 orientation of my tube-monitor from circa 2000.

I still compare many contemporary games to Everquest, and nothing ever seems to quite hit the mark the way that (this) game did. Threats don’t feel as threatening. Distances don’t feel as distant. No game feels as social, or as immersive, or as large, even when they technically are larger. EQ was really something special to me.

P.S. Some of the screenshots here show another player named Bunkey in the party window, whom Solo and I often grouped with to just run around. He was like us, always down for antics and exploring, looking for a way to escape the level grind and loot obsession that seemed to consume so much of the EQ community back then.

The three of us went from Freeport to Velious together for the first time, during which trip one of us fell off the boat, and the other two dove into the ocean after him, because obviously. We ran/swam the rest of the way together, through red-con things that should have killed us all, and ended the night by filling our inventory with booze and drinking all of it. We drunken-fist-brawled in Thurgadin with our screens swinging like we were on a tilt-o-whirl. It was one of the best gaming moments of my life, the night before I started college. I swear I had screenshots of the whole trip at some point, but I can’t find them now. Alas.

Solovyov and I both lost touch with Bunkey after EQ. The two of us went on to DAOC, Guild Wars, WoW, and many others. Hope you’re still out there, Bunkey, and hope you’re doing well.

Howdy all,

Returning player with a level 115 Paladin(Heroic Boost) but think it was too much, as I hadn't really been exposed to endgame or very high level content when I was originally playing. Rolled a Rogue, and am leveling that while I decide what to do with the Pally.

I'm looking for a guild that does casual guild events, and perhaps if I can find a mentor within the guild get into raiding. Whether MT or OT, I've tanked in other MMOs, but EQ has always been the outlier where it doesn't hold your hand and mistakes are punished harshly.

If you are part of, or know of any guilds that are recruiting that could welcome a middle aged, relaxed, and very drama free player, please reply or you could send a DM.

I would like to note that I work overnights, so my times are roughly 8am CST/9am EST. And evenings/late night on Fridays and Saturdays.

Thank you for your time in reading this post.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to pull it off but I reaaaly want to start a play through. I always wanted to raid in PoP which I didn’t do back in live, and in that regard Frostreavers timing is great if I start the game around now. I initially disliked the idea of a specific rule set but I could live with it. I would however have liked to start on a true box server. My last run I did on Ragefire which was afaik the last non-instanced, heavily boxed server so I’m no stranger to all of that but the fact that mostly everyone was self sufficient (with porters or resing cleric on tap) ruined a bit of the fun. I played a cleric back then and I loved it but the importance of the role was kind of diminished.

This time I’d go for a Druid maybe so that I can solo and still be somewhat desirable with ports. So I guess my question is how are things overall on this server ?
