Servers MIA no ETA ?

[The Heck]

It is very nice to see work still being done, as of today, the [envyirish-ASAP] server was up but LOCKED.

Best wishes, O!

I hope it comes back up. my daughter keeps asking me if the servers back yet.

thanks for the continued interest. things got a little overwhelming for a bit. recently I had a brake in my schedule and wanted to get the server back up and running as it was never my intent for it to be down for so long. I dont see that happening again (it was a combination of factors, mixed in with some bad timing).

I've redone alot of the quest scripts, for the most part they are functionally the same, but have had some enhancements well. One example that comes to mind is the MGB script, Venon now gives out some more information like who was the last caster, and when the next cast will be going off; plus the casters will now be talkative during that 5mins they are waiting for until they cast the MGB.

klikhizz is starting to open up about the great kurns tower corpse run - its not implemented yet but a 'Kurns Tower corpse run' instance is in the works. while I have made an astonshing amount of progress with it, there is still some things that need to be tightened up. it wont be ready for some time, but it is something I would very m,uch like to see - and it could lead to alot of other really cool things. (sorry to be so vague)


The MGB casters, and the Turkey have a chance to 'shake the tree' and if this happens a platinum coin will fall out and everyone in the zone gets one. there is a small chance for this to happen. They are for vendor trash, I put them in the game in order for players to get some quick cash. thery sell for about 1k-ish plats to vendors. Currently they are NOT lore, but I an kicking around the idea to put the LORE flag on the Thick Coin of Envious Profit.

Another cool thing, I have an AllaClone running on my server, as soon as I can figure out how to get it available to everyone, I will give out the URL. that should be a useful resource. basically, its a 'Alla-looking' website that is reading my server database and you can look up mobs (loot drops, spawn times, locations) as they are set on this server. it works internally on my network, just cant be browsed to from the outside yet.


to be inline with other silly temporarily themed mobs Ive done in the past; Now, I have a turkey running around pok that 'drops' stuff. you may need to update your poknowledge_chr.txt in your EQ client in order to see the turkey model (big cockatrice). every time he 'drops' something he does a random shout. periodically, you over-hear him say things as well.

to manually upadte the poknowledge_chr.txt file:

1. locate and open the poknowledge_chr.txt
2. at the top of the list in the file you will see a number, whatever that number is, increase it by 1. 22 becomes 23, etc;
3. at the very bottom of the list add the following text: coc,dreadlands_chr
4. fully close out EQ and restart EQ - you should then see Tom the Envious Turkey in all his glory
