How come no one plays anymore?

[quadkite]

Couldn't help but notice all the waning interest in the game. There's still so much to do!

Kill Phinny
Kill Venril Sathir
Kill Trakanon
Get VP key and kill stuff in VP
Kill Dain
Kill Tormax/Derakor/all that other crazy shit in kael
Kill stuff in PoG
Kill Yelinak
Kill Western wastes dragons
Kill stuff in TOV/NTOV
Was Plane of Mischief worth going to?

What other new stuff was fun?

I've just been too busy to play anything since I got back from Yuma. I'm lame when it comes to video games, but you know that. Whats everyone else up to?

Izinagi has an account now, so now you all have to play again.

I spoke with Karby about something yesterday that is a part of the fold here. Since we are all very casual with this, and quite often there are no admins around to fix problems that arise, it makes it hard to do things/quests on your own without a GM's help, especially epic quests and zone-keying quests. Thus its kind of like a built in wall, where all you can do is farm drops until people log on and then you can actually raid things. Often you are unable to set yourself up for an upcoming zone since half the key quest is busted or some mob doesn't spawn often enough.

Solution: We need to give out the generic GM abilities to a few more people. The ability to summon people, fix spawn rates (increase/decrease frequency of PH's, frequency of needed item drops, etc.) so that when people run into these brick walls there is always someone around to be able to help. I asked Erich yesterday about this and I told him I think me and Leo should have this access.

Second, collectively we are usually all busy during the week so if we want to hit something up like QK listed we just gotta semi-coordinate something for friday/sat/sunday here in the forums. I don't want this to turn into anything more than it is, but I'd rather play when other people are on than what I've had to do lately since we all play at different times as of late.

yo, i moved out of rochester so it has been a little busy (living in CT atm).

i'm still trying to figure out where i am going to be next year (90% chance i'll be in NYC, 10% chance i'll be in DC... although i prefer DC).

there has been a lot of work to do with the transition, and my parents are moving out of the westpoh house, so i have been busy getting my stuff outta there.

also, my GF is living with me until sunday, when she is flying out to malawi, africa.

i'll be back soon, hopefully.

also, i think i had a dream the other night where i got really mad at erich and mighty, and deleted my EQ characters out of spite.

Haans and I have been playing on another emu server, hanging out in vent with hopes of people logging on and wanting to do stuff. We kinda hit a brick wall w/ content, a lot of the mobs aren't tuned for 1 group. We are pretty much stuck in ETOV unable to kill the named because they have 400k+ hps. IT takes 3-4hrs to clear ETOV, and you get maybe 5-8 armor peices per clear. I don't want it to be super easy to do things, but I also don't want to farm forever.

I totally agree w/ biff it would be nice if we could have someone available to tune mobs/drop rates/ and zones as we encounter them. I know you guys are managing this server for fun, and I don't expect or want you guys to drop what you are doing to fix something.

Also, writing custom quests could be pretty cool. There are some pretty neat things you can do with them. I wouldn't mind writing some or helping write some.

I would be happy to help with anything you guys wanted, I also don't want to impose. I know you guys put a lot of time into the server so far. I am just at a point where there isn't much to do on the server with a single group.

I have no problem giving out tweaking abilities to more people. It's easy to do with the web setup erich and I got working.

sweet - I'll try to get in touch with you sometime this weekend Andy

Matt, there's a house next to me ~ 2 bedroom, 1650/mo, 30min from NYC.

>_>

[quadkite]

Sorry I haven't been on for the past few days. I'll be around this weekend for sure.

I feel you guys with the content tweaking thing. We had only tweaked a few of the old-school endgame encounters but it's time we caught up. I agree we also need to give more active people GM/DB access so they can fix things on the fly.

As for custom quests, I tried making my own, did you see my other thread? Let me know what you thought of it!

I found out where raff has been. I can tell because his nose sticks out of the mask.
