Couple other things to help reduce server load:

If you're using MQ2,EQBC and use the /assist command in your hotkeys - you can change /assist to run through eqbc instead.

Any time you send an //assist command from your controlling character, use //target id ${Target.ID} instead.

For example, if your assist hotkey is:
/bca //assist Blarr
Change it to:
/bca //target id ${Target.ID}
This command says: everybody who isn't me target my current target.

I'm sure you've all experienced the delay involved when using assist. This is because the assist command has to send/receive a number of packets through the server. By using EQBC instead you remove all that traffic completely.


The other thing everybody should please keep in mind: move your chars only when necessary. When your player moves that position has to be updated with every other connected client (to various ranges/frequencies). For a 12 person crew, moving the entire crew simultaneously requires a packet (or however many is used) from each character to the server, which results in 11 packets needing to be sent back out to your crew alone. (144 packets / multiple times a second)

Similarly we should avoid pulling/aggroing NPC's that have no value. Same concept but NPC locations are updated at much higher rates over longer ranges as well.


Also: do not sell quantities of items in the heavy lag zones. (If there are merchants, I'm not sure) The lag generated from even one char selling items consistently is large and zone-wide.

When I first set it up with this it didn't work, it was targeting the wrong thing. So maybe it's time to try it again now that i'm much more used to mq2

Solid info, thanks. I added it to the wiki page for macro quest.

If anyone else is having problems with not being able to get the filter to work, I had to activate the custom filter option in my .ini file to get it going.

Line near the top of the .ini should read FilterCustom=1

I just edited the .ini itself but, there is likely an in game command to do it.

I've read through and performed all of the steps.  I've edited the file outside of the game, and tried adding filters inside the game.  Still getting all the spam.  I'm using ROF2.  Has anyone else had issues getting the filters to work and if so, any remedies / other things to check?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. May God have mercy on your soul.
