Addict and Corporate,
I want to thank you for setting up this server. Its the right amount of EQ without the wrong amount. I've had so much fun playing here and enjoying a game I never thought I could or would again. I always remembered EQ as my favorite time in MMO history. Please let me know what I can do to help. If you need testing/troubleshooting/network/server help. I work in IT and am 1/3 certs into my Server 2016 MCSA. I have programming experience etc. I also have a Bachelor's in Video Game design. If you want financial support that is fine. Just let me know where to send it.

Thank you for your kind words. Corporate and I are much like you. We grew up with EQ, both work in IT and both bounced around various games. The other games and MMOs always felt like they were missing something. We played on a few different EMU servers over the years, but they either spontaneously shut down or weren't quite right. We decided to pick up this project partially as a hobby but also so we have stable, long term place to play EQ together and with some other friends. As you can tell by playing here and reading the forums, quite a lot of work goes into it, and we're constantly finding/fixing issues. You should be able to tell by now the overall feel we're hoping to achieve. "Casual" but fun. We all want to have that fun challenging EQ experience, but we also have lives, jobs, families. The server is Linux based and hosted on a VPS in a large data center, so the server & network stuff is well covered. Programming stuff as well (for now). The hardest part with these bug fixes is reproducing the bug, then finding where in the code the bug is coming from. Some of the bug reports have had folks posting the snippets of code they believe is causing the issue, and that has been a big time saver. For now a big help would be to just enjoy yourself on the server, and if you find something wrong (or something you think should be tweaked) let us know We wouldn't be able to find/fix half these bugs without people helping us find them. Also - DPS parses! We need more DPS parses if anybody is reading this and wants to contribute. We're doing our best to balance stuff out, but it takes quite a bit of time.

I will run one for my necro and Sk (when I play her). Do you have a specific place or why you want those delivered to you?

I think what Addict means is, if you are going to post a suggestion or bug like "Fix necros. My SK has double dps of my necro." Then follow that up with some dps parses and data that we can work with. Or, alternatively, if you see someone posting that their 65 bard only has 50 dps, but your 65 bard has 200 dps.. post some data. Thanks
