I wouldn't worry much about Silvered weapons. They may be magical but there are numerous cheap magical weapons out there that are dropped from monsters and have better stats. At this point in the game, most of your smithing would probably be cheap armor like banded, and eventually fine plate when its available. Cultural smithing isn't in the game yet but later on that might be something to influence your race and god selection.

There is one I'm aware of that has tons of custom content... https://shardsofdalaya.com/intro.htm

I don't think they technically have any new assets like zones or character models, but they rearrange everything in the game and wrote custom quests/npcs/etc

[Anonymous No.6138820]

>>6138795
Was more interested in whether or not somebody actually wrote the tooling for creating EQ-compatible assets.

Way I see it, EQ isn't EQ if you know the complete patch progression and permanent end state of the game. That's actually kind of like the polar opposite of what EQ should be. Would be a lot more interesting to see a project that reboots the game back to the original trilogy then proceeds along an alternate progression route that's more in line with EQ's "vision" than what Luclin+ became. Of course, it'd have to be a real attempt by real fans of the game and not just a pretentious circle jerk of guys trying to push their own "vision" onto the game.

Honestly, it's kind of a shame the Pantheon guys didn't try to buy EQ's rights back when DBG bought up SOE's corpse. Not that I really trust that they'll ever put out anything worthwhile, but at least they'd be doing something with the IP besides milking TLPs for cash. You'd think the EverQuest name would have some value, it was a whole franchise of games back in the day...

Problem is EQ does have value, it just ended up in the wrong company's hands. Pantheon is being made essentially by fans, but they're a small group of guys in Mom's basement building an entire engine from scratch while trying (in vain) to keep up with modern graphical trends. If they used a ready-built engine and didn't feel the need to polish each and every dark elf's asscheeks Pantheon would have been long done by now. That said, if the game ever is finished, that shit is going to be orgasmic. Just looking at the gnomes makes me vibrate through walls in anticipation.

Shards of Dalaya is dead. As I recall, they put out one last update and that was years ago. That server was awesome, though. They had a lot of custom code, like a bind on equip system for items. Plus they were able to change the zonelines, which is always a fucking hassle.
Sad thing is, EQ is really customizable, especially now with ROF2. You can do custom classes really easy now, and they actually work, because you can easily alter skills and shit client side (it's literally a text file). New zones has always been easy. Hell, you can import Quake 3 maps into EQ. Custom models are also doable. You could easily take EQ and turn it into a completely different game altogether, like those guys who made a Naruto game out of WoW. There's just not interest for it from what I've seen.
>>6138820
Honestly, that's the kind of thing I'd like to see P99 do. If you look at those old cloth maps of Norrath, there's a lot of places that aren't zones in classic, and that were never made zones even in live. And I see people doing that with WoW now, "Vanilla+" projects where it's the old WoW but with new stuff. Then there's the classless server, and while the people who run it are fucking idiots, at least they took something old and put an interesting spin on it. You also have Turtle WoW where they're bringing back a lot of stuff from WoW's beta, like Rogue's have disguises, they brought back Tauren Plainstriding, they brought back the Survival skill, and so on. Oh hell, I remember back in the day there was some Ultima Online WoW server where you could put down buildings and shit in the middle of zones, and it was free-for-all craziness as I recall. But with eqemu, it's pretty much just P99, a few Live-lite servers, and that's pretty much it as any server that tries to do anything remotely interesting is fucking dead. Kind of a shame.

[Anonymous No.6140372]

>that's the kind of thing I'd like to see P99 do

P99 devs and players aren't interested in new content, they just want to keep doing the same thing over and over while complaining about the same issues indefinitely.

Doing anything significant would probably require a new client and the ability to import all the old EQ 3D assets into it. As far as I'm aware there was only one guy who actually managed to fully figure out that shit and he disappeared without releasing his code. Everything publicly available just does basic zone geometry and textures.

Everquest Next was incredibly hyped, but then they just dropped it. It fell off the radar and the only way to find out what happened to it was its page on wikipedia. It's kind of frustrating considering how shit and dead modern MMO's are.

Did you really expect anything else? DBG doesn't make video games, their goal is guaranteed short term returns, not risky long term ventures.

[Anonymous No.6140479]

>>6140426

To be honest I'm not all that familiar with Daybreak. SOE wasn't that super great of a publisher either. If EQ didn't get bought it's highly likely the servers would have just disappeared with little press. Which at this point probably should have just happened.

[Anonymous No.6140502]

>>6140479
SOE at least was a publisher. They made video games, even if most of them were trash. DBG just buys up IPs and abuses cash shops to make back their investment + tip. Even the expansions that have released since DBG took over are basically just content rehash cash grabs, they offer almost nothing new but if you're one of the few live players you're obligated to drop $60+ bucks on it. They also like to put game-breaking imbalanced items in the $120+ dollar CE versions which is insane.

EQ2 is really fucked up. Some of the best items from their last expansion came from buying the CE version while the shit raid bosses are dropping is basically aesthetic.

[Anonymous No.6140517]

I'm saying the zones were boring. The outdoor zones looked like they were thrown together in a day. Big, bland, repetitive, a generic selection of enemies that just wander the entire zone, maybe 1 or 2 landmarks randomly dropped in. Dungeons weren't great either, Grieg's End was especially bad. Ssra was probably the only dungeon where an actual attempt was made.

They put more effort into a couple of the cities, but there was no real reason to explore them. There were like, maybe 5 quests the entire expansion worth doing?

I think I read in their forum that the art assets for the original viewport UI are in a super low resolution since they were designed for 640x480. The UI doesn't have any built in scaling. They tried to simply scale up the graphics for it but the resolution just wasn't there and it didn't look right, so they re-created whatever they could and let it be.

Besides that, this UI was actually in the game since launch. It's popularly called the "velious" UI because that was when they retired the old one and forced everyone into the new one. But it has been an optional UI from the beginning.

[Anonymous No.6140932]

Absolute bullshit. One of the main issues with being a caster was your viewport being obscured when you were medding. There was no UI option which would have disabled that as it was intentional.

There are UIs you can download that look kind of like the original viewport, but from what I can tell, they don't work with P99 because they're made for whatever the current live expansion is.
>>6140932
Nah, it's true. I remember one of the pro-tips being that you hit F10 to get the less obtrusive UI. Even then, the spellbook would take up practically your entire screen, especially considering people were playing in such a low resolution.
What isn't Original EverQuest: being able to play in windowed mode, being able to alt-tab out, and being able to run other programs while EverQuest was running. The in-game MP3 player wasn't added until a later expansion as I recall (I want to say it was added in with PoP), so you can't even listen to music on your computer while you play EverQuest, just the in-zone music. Oh, and don't forget you'd probably be on dial-up. And you also have to walk five miles through snow uphill both ways for school.

[Anonymous No.6142181]

>>6142074

Vanilla WoW is just a gimp Everquest. Everything is easier, but you also don't have the class variety or sheer power you could have in EQ. Worst of all, even in vanilla other players were a nuisance and grouping was rarely required or even really beneficial. The only really good thing WoW brought was instancing, which made end game accessible to more people than just a single shady ass guild. So long as P99 or OSR exist, there's no reason to give Blizzard money or populate WoW's shitty private server community.

Original Everquest only played full-screen (unless you used something like EQW, which was made so you could play EQ in windowed mode and was also against the rules and could get you banned). If you're able to play original Everquest in windowed mode, it's only due to you running in on a version of Windows that would only come out decades later and not something like Windows 95.

Good to see you are still alive. People are complaining that its more crowded but it just resembles how getting a group was when I was first leveling so take that as you will. We reformed the guild since Naillius vanished so keep an eye out for Fallen Leaves members if you want an invite. I can hop on before running dnd tonight if you plan on being on around 6 ish hours from now.

Thanks chief! Unfortunately I don't get out of classes until 9 and home at 10 EST at the absolute latest but I'll poke my head in to see who all is online. Sounds good to hear the guild reform went well. I hope Nailus has been well with whatever he's doing.

came to find this thread after hearing they finally merged the servers. fucking good. splitting them should've never happened. the day it happened half of the players i'd been talking to on green suddenly vanished. what a fuckin joke. what they should've done is fixed the ZEM in zones that people essentially refuse to even try to level in.

Now this is top bullshit. And I had zero (0) luck finding groups for any other content around ~19 because everybody HAS to have the most xp per hour, even if you end sitting in a list for a couple hours.

No. The magic of EQ is in its oldschool design, I wouldn't even look at a new one because I know it wouldn't have the same design concepts.

[Anonymous No.6153151]

>>6153079

I would be neutral, honestly. With Next being vaporware and Pantheon being vaporwave I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for their release. And even if they do come out, how do you know it won't be another Everquest 2 where they buttfuck the entire game less than a year in to try and steal subs from WoW? Or would it be like Vanguard where it was actually a really good game but the launch was a rancid turd they needed to wash off first, and when they finally washed it off they cancelled it?

Only if they limited polycount to EQ1 standards.
Texture sizes can be to the moon, in fact I'd be upset if everything was a 4K texture (or even larger) but low poly and no shaders.

I have a couple EQ friends I have kept in touch with over the years who are always trying to get me to come back. I started originally right as velouis was being released and played a little after planes of power.

I probably didn't pick the best combo of race/class/God to begin with because I always struggled ( half elf/ Pali/M.Mar) , but had a lot of fun.

One of my favorite memories playing games will always be getting my soulfire.

By Velious your race was already irrelevant and religion didn't matter except for maybe making certain tradeskills cheaper to raise

Umm, what exactly are you doing at end-game EQ if you're not raiding? Worthwhile cash camps are monopolized by guilds, so you're not going to reliably be farming those. No AAs or anything so no reason to exp. I guess you might be able to farm some epic or quest armor stuff and sell loot rights, but that's pretty boring, and what do you need the plat for anyways if you don't raid?

[Anonymous No.6160478]

>>6160460
Most people I've run into are just playing the game for fun with no real thought given to end-game performance or ever stepping foot in a raid. Reaching 50 is an immense time commitment that I don't really expect I'm going to complete. Maybe if I was 13 and had nothing better to do.
The raiding community on p1999 seems to be made up exclusively of people who have already been raiding on blue or raided on retail for years and have fully mapped out their character progression from vanilla to the end of velious. Which is all well and good, but new players and people with more than one hobby probably aren't going to want to jump in.

[Anonymous No.6160487]

Well, if you're not even going to hit level cap then the handful of mediocre religious exclusive items are even less of a factor. Just get your Temple of Sol Ro class exclusive stuff at some point and you're set...

If you come back, let us know. Half Elf Paladin of Mithaniel Marr isn't a bad choice. If you'd gone Tunare, there's another nifty sword you could have gotten in Velious, but it's not the end of the world.
