Honestly, I made one zone for Tier 2 and absolutely hated it haha. I plan on redoing it and finishing the rest of it eventually, but I'm just swamped with work in real life, unfortunately. Also, it appears that Nagafen's, Zippzipp's, and now Smedley's have pretty much filled the market for solo servers.

Nagafen's server is not a true solo server. You need groups of people to take down raid targets.
Zippzipp I had problems with even zoning multiple accounts. Not sure what's going on but its unplayable for me.
Smedley's server seems to have live like spawn times for named which is a big hell no for me.
I think this server has tons going for it still. I played one server but I dont remember which it was: Instead of having bots, they have mercenaries. Wow, what a difference. They work so much better than the bots and I had zero zoning issues. It might have been smedley's.

Really? I haven't actually messed around with mercenaries yet. I may convert to mercenaries if they are that nice. I'm just not sure what I would do with all of the gear people have given to bots.

I've recently started new job but have started to poke around again. Gearing up to try the raid targets to unlock Kunark.
This is a very enjoyable server.

I do enjoy the gearing up of the bots. The biggest problem with bots is that they tend to break often. Zoning breaks them: Sometimes they just dont feel like attacking and or healing ect. With the mercenaries they work just like they do on live. They zone with you and I have not had any issues of them not attacking or healing/buffing. Then you have all the bot commands which are just a pain in the butt to be honest. I'd much prefer them to play themselves well and not have to micro manage them. The thing that your server has that the others currently don't, is that one person can box IE solo their way all the way to the end game. The bosses are on short timers. The loot and exp are heavily multiplied. The biggest issue I had when playing here was that the bots would break constantly. Of course this isn't just your server, the bots on EMU are just not coded very well. |

I never had any major issues with the Bots. If you changed to Mercs then i would ride with it. The gear on the Bots is always replacable. This was, is and probably always will be the best true solo sever out there imo and my only reasons for not playing lately are RL stuff. When i return to EQ it will be on this sever for sure. Hopefully with the next wave of custom content.../nudge

Wurm 65 Warrior

wanton myself and on behalf of anyone still in focus and fury we would like to see some server interaction or advertising. server population on really needs a few people maybe enof to form a group when needed and the content is hard enof to not blast your way through. its so far the best server i have tried which is basicly all of them lol alot of decent ideas out there for other servers most killed by the allowing of MQ or simply making it so easy to solo its no fun. im dieing to get back on and play this server again. wandering if tier 2 should be a lvl 70 tier? or maybe wait till 3... idk really just alot of extras to add to the content by allowing people to make these aa's or create custom lvl caps for the already printed aa. maybe move the arena guy to pok(think this was already sayd) but its a good idea cause tier 1-4 the loot is worthless for anyone who has the ability to kill quarm. if you need anything from me to help boost the server PM me ill do it if i can and if i cant ill ask around cause damn i miss a good server after trying all this other junk

I feel like you all deserve a bit of an explanation. I have been unable to do any work on the server lately because I have been extremely busy with real life things. This summer, I will be working two jobs and coaching football, so I probably still will not have that much time, but I should be less busy than I am now. I fully intend to complete 2 more tiers of custom content though. I have planned out the next two pretty thoroughly, and I just need to find the time to begin implementation. Once I have completed those tiers, I will advertise again on the EQEmu forums to try to draw a larger playerbase.

life is busy i can understand that 2 jobs is enof without anything else on the plate. i dont wanna push you or be rude in any way. by far the best emu on the list right now i just want to find a way to get people on sooner cause without help new players are ganna need the summer to get near tier 1 never the less past it fully geared. also 60% of the people who start dont stay cause there not good enof to beat the bosses so attracting the right crowd is key. cant blame them for haveing trouble until i met slug and a few others i was close to my rope too. an npc who can really lay out the group rules is needed something to tell players first its a 2box server one char will not be enof and second warriors are tanks.. nothing else either have war bot or play it cause winning without it is not an easy option. adding the pally/sk def disc may change that but i cant say forsure. any questions ill be happy to help you do anything
