Thanks, just returned yesterday from a 2 year break. 

TMO is forsaken/rampage now? Whaaa... when did this happen?

TMO is now Forsaken
Ingloiurious Basterds is now Rampage, they have been the #1 guild for the last 2 years or so and do not get along with Forsaken, big rivals.

Rampage is now disbanding while on top after 6 months of domination since people want to move on after waking the sleeper.  It's a very different raid culture on P99.. waking up at 4am text messages with 30-140 people in teamspeak and a boss being pulled to camp 5 seconds within logging in, its very stressful at end game due to the raid scene.

prob not interesting to most, but if any p99 people are around, we're waking the sleeper and abandoning the #1 guild immediately after

Edit: sleeper is now awoken.   Expect some new/returning faces to EZ Server soon.

oh my god frustrating...

4 of the 6 people in my group got credit, and it DC'd my entire group twice and caused my entire group to crash once.  I've been back to EZ for 1 week and have crashed more this week than years and years of playing in 2013 and prior.  I can't even zone into my Guild TOFS instance it insta freezes on any client.

What would cause all my boxes to freeze up instantly after char select? Raid instance and public work fine, but my guild instance does not. Every one of my chars freeze after char select and will get stuck again unless I use Char Mover each and every time I attempt to zone into guild TOFS.  It happened after I repopped it 2 or 3 times.  Now I cannot enter my guild TOFS till it expires.  It's not on my end because it was working perfectly fine other than the occasional freeze on 1 toon.

guild instance (21279) for frozenshadow

My box army is freezing like non-other, and it is zone specific..  like I enter my guild instance of TOFS and i am stuck loading until I do a fuckin char mover..  wtf.

Most of these work fine on RoF2 client, didnt install anything, just select folder tweaks.  I dont like to completely gimp my clients (e.g. stick figures) but the changes i made have it at:

Memory:
Main Char: 480,000 k
Alts: 270-320,000 k each

Not sure if its on EZ's end, or EQemu.. but this freezing is making it unplayable. 

perhaps off topic but stat crunch please...  I dont even know if my pally is healing for 150k or 1500k most of the time.

I actually have those on most of my chars

You would be better off using a warrior with max SoA and UW, paladin and two DPS with max strikes and UC (total of 4 toons), than 18 toons with just tier appropriate armor...

Thats really promising, because when I played last year, I could have sworn everybody was running around with 2+ groups.  I dont know how things have changed since then that made life so much easier.  

As for my warrior, he has:

UW7, and a
Ring of Ages 230.
Shield of Ages XL

wasn't enough to kill in T8 with my groups set up when I last played a year ago, tank kept dying. 

Also, I did the Steam install, added EZ files+spells, and most links in chat are cut in half?

Hey guys Tankdan here, I last played 1 year ago I think, I haven't played since Hunter passed away (and a few months before that).

Thinking of returning, but one thing that turned me off was that around T7 or so, 12 boxing essentially became a requirement.  I know a lot of changes have been made since then (I have a lot of reading to do), but is that still the case now?  

Last time I played, I tried ToV Dozekar and he pushed my shit in on my 2 groups of nearly full T7 characters, so I stopped playing around that progression.

Just downloaded Steam EQ client, and it looks great.  Do i need 2 versions of this, one for my main account, and 1 for my other accounts with minimal graphic settings? Thats what I did with UF.


 I just noticed my Ultimate Weapon has no augments in it, have no clue how that works.  

Time to relearn how to use MQ2 and all that shit again, uhgg

Maybe add a very low IS/NS proc to early epic melee weapons such as monk.  I remember them being pretty useless until augged..  and when peeps are in T2-T5ish, most of their chars won't be augged out.  When I was farming T4 for the first time, for example, my monk did more damage than the rest of my group combined, because he was the only character with a decent ninja aug. 

Been awhile since I played, but I seem to remember Mage pet, and I assume other pets as well, falling from grace the bigger and badder they were suppose to be. By the time they were T6 or T7 damage was not noticeable.  

why not just make UW unavailable to anyone who doesn't already have one then? why not make it a legendary quest so that only if you already working on progression can you still further it but it is no longer open to start quest with anyone who has not already picked up quest to start it, aka someone who has a rank 1 already can keep going but someone who just has the quest can no longer complete it *and is refunded their ess*

Because new players would quit if they are playing alongside people with an uberweap that isn't even obtainable.  I know if I was checking out EZ and saw a 1 million HP weapon and I was stuck with my Epic weapon, I wouldn't stick around.    

Why not allow everybody to obtain it, and create content based around owning one?  Someone explain why this idea is so absurd.   

Considering the majority of time on this server is/was spent progressing the UW, thats a bad idea. You mind as well ask for a server/zone content wipe while you are at it for propper balancing.  Why throw away all that time spent?  

Make UW part of the server, I don't see the big deal. Make it part of progression.  Make it so you don't need to farm HoH in T6 gear, make it more linear than that.  Tons of viable options to make UW smoother.

On a business trip with no kids, no wife, and the server is down. I knew it was too good to be true!

Gentlemen's Clubs are calling.
