Are you Zaknafein, the Ranger from Bert?

Let's start simple.  When you say it wont download correctly, what do you mean?  You cannot find your original seed, you cannot get it to install correctly, you cannot get to the server log in screen?  Please give more details on what you computer is ( or is not ) doing with Everquest.

What does NINJA LOGGING mean exactly?

When the server reboots, it takes time to load up all the zones and NPC's in them. If players try to log into the server right after it comes up, it can slow down and possibly unstableize the server. Each toon logging in forces extra work on the sever and if they are in a zone that has not yet been loaded, it forces the server to load it and the character instead of doing it's normal order and routine. If just 1 or 2 toons did this, it would not be a huge deal. But when you get 4-5 people trying to load up all their alts (3-9 toons each ) it puts a huge drag on the server that is so heavy, it can crash it, resulting in another reboot, or even shutting it down until next planned reboot or until Hunter manually turns it back on.

If it was for a longer period of time it wouldn't be so bad. I hated going to rummage for a snack, come back 15 minutes later and all my toons are offline. Then when you try to log back in, you get the black "you have been disconnected" screen which can take 5-10 minutes to go away. Maybe if it was for an hour it would work better. Would clean up people who are not active, but still give the rest of us time to take care of quick business without getting booted. Clearing out 20 inactive toons really isn't going to make the sever lag less, but will frustrate a lot of people.

All the TSS and SoD zones I've zoned into leave me stuck right at zone in.  Cannot move around or jump.  Long as I don't try to sit or duck, I can use charm to gate out, otherwise I have to use char mover to get out of the zone.

I'll open ssratemple too for now until I'm ready to custom it.

You are offically my fucking hero!  I cannot tell you how much excitment this brings me.  I got to run around it on live for a while, but never got to see the whole thing.  Shortly after SoL came out, we took a trip here, and this 1 zone just completly blew me away.  Thank you for this

Now that I see yours, I know where I fucked mine up, thanks

I cant get any damn target rings to work besides the default.  Every old one I've made that works on live, and on Titanium here, will not work on SoD.  All of the ones I've tried from EQInterface wont work for me on SoD, any suggestions?

Another Great Name!

I did find about 7 bear spawns in Rathe Mountians, 6 in 1 spot and 1 in another.  After an hour or so of farming those spawns, I came out with 1 HQ skin.  The recipe to make regular Hand Made Backbacks does still work, just can't do colored ones dammit

I was gonna see if the recipe for colored hand made backpacks work here, and part of that is needing a High Quality Bear Skin.  Found out anyway that they wont work, because the recipe to make the dye doesn't work.  You can make all the extracts, but when you try to combine them with resen in a medium clay jar, it doesn't work.

Where can I find some bears to kill for some Tradeskill stuff?  I've looked in many of the old zones, and there are no bears to be found, even most of the normal mobs that are supposed to be there are not.
I've looked in the Karana's, Misty Thicket, Kithicor ect. and I've yet to see 1 single bear.
Anyone know a zone that actually has them?

In my experience, if you leave any group instance, you cannot get back in by any means other than a Rez of a recent corpse in the zone. As far as a guild instance, if you make them back to back, or make a new guild instance while still in the old guild instance, it will not survive through the reboot, an will often crash on you anyway shortly after.
If you want to use GI's back to back I suggest you zone back to pub, delete your GI, wait a minute ( by minute I do indeed mean 60 seconds ) then create a new one.
I have had much success by taking them time to zone back to pub and wait a minute. As previously mentioned, at least they don't cost 100k anymore like they used to. All in all, the ability to instance any zone you want at any time is a HUGE time and frustration saver. Even though things seem a little funky, they are a million miles better than what we used to have!

Outstanding! I dont know how much work is involved, but if there was anything I could do from the player side, let me know.  Even if there was no exp, it would still be a blast to hit those old zones. Anyone who played on live I'm sure would love to kick the shit out of Cornav or VBQ as revenge. Not to mention how fun The Rathe Council will be trying to manage and time it all solo Thank you very much for your response!

Edited for typos, damn iPod!

To get some of the locked zones opened? I know some are shut down because they were planed for custom content. There are a few zone that would just be a blast to go back and tear through. I know there wouldn't be any advantage as far as gear or anything, but they would be a lot of fun/nostalgia. PoEarth, PoAir, PoWater, Ssra Temple, Txevu, Ink'Tuta, Uqua come to mind. Anyone else interested in any of this?  I've brought it up in the past and was basically told "if you don't like it, go to a different server". That's quite a dick move imho, how about an intelligent discussion on the matter? I know there are other servers where these zones are open, but I don't play there, I play here for a reason and have no interest in going to another server. Any idea how hard/easy it would be to implement them? Hunter, is it somethin you would even consider if there was enough interest in it? I know EZ was created for the custom content we have, and it is very enjoyable as long as you aren't farming charms. But the whole of what is Everquest is what has drawn us here, and was the whole idea behind the emulator itself.
