Alternate Everquest

I think 3 chars per IP needs to start first, then you may bring some back that actually did play, then July 1-15 double drops, post it on eqemu forums.  (Double drops on any server seems to bring a crowd back), now that we have people back (hopefully), July 16-31 triple xp 1-50, double xp at 51.  I am not sure if there is any way to monitor IP's but until we get a good base again playing, should keep 3 characters.  I'm sure there is other input out there also, like rotating hot zones 2-3 at max level. 

I haven't done veksar yet, so don't know the xp there, but last I played there were only 2 zones that were worthy of xp, corathus and CT.  DEV was good xp too, but harder mobs so wasn't quite worth it.  TAKA and Hatchery seemed to get the nerf stick on xp ( hatchery was cut by at least 3x what it used to be).  XP isn't the only answer though, I really don't know what it will take to get people back playing, but would hate to see this poof.  Already been a month since I've grouped with anyone, much less seen more than 1 other person even on at the same time.

Hey, this server has been the best I've played on in the last 10 years, and sad no one is on anymore.  Personally I'd rather just play one character and have the rest of the group / raid do the same, and for a while we were able to do that.  Now the server seems to be a grave yard, and I wish that would change.  I'd like this server to be populated again, and even for a little bit maybe increase the IP limit to 3.  Or institute double or triple xp.  There are still several encounters that I'd like to beat.  Vox, gfay dragon, POsky that was hinted at, etc. I know the developer's seem really busy, but we have to do something to bring players back to this server, it's too good to die off.

Thanks

We'll take a look at this. Thanks for the heads-up.

Druids have received 2 new spells as of last week. One should help tremendously with mana costs on regular fights, and the other should help druids become more competitive on hard fights.  For the first, it is available on many druid spell vendors at level 10. For the other, check with any city's Druid Guild Master for hints on how to get started.

We're working hard to release a zone that should fit with your desires quite well (duo-box up to a point).  It should provide an intermediate gear step for many/most classes, if you can get to the named mobs.  There will also be quests offering tokens allowing people to purchase gear to fill in some of the gaps they may have from other zones/quests.

Keep your eyes peeled on Discord.  Release of the zone should be coming this week (with any luck)!
