Hey guys, not sure who still surfs these boards.... or who plays or what the state of BoW in eq truly is. Me.... I transferred off our old server and went to FV some years back and have been there ever since.... seen Soltaka from IR the other day and figured Id stop in. Whos still breathing? Currently were going through a transitionary phase of merging the top 2 guilds on the server... under a new banner. Kinda like the bow/mono debacle but with a 3rd party taking from both camps and creating something new. Ive enjoyed the new content... though Im not to happy about how easy it is to get max lvl/aa. Still takes some time but not nearly as much. XP bonus on FV server just speeds it up a bit to much. Anyways if anyone still plays EQ send me a tell on firiona... or even here. Take it ez!
I started playing back on live a few weeks back. Still on Torv (Cazic Thule ) now. Game is pretty fun now. I like all the new content too
Abernath
yea Im not sure how but theyve kept it pretty interesting. Just got my prayer shawl 3.0 done and Im glad that is over with =p
Sounds like fun to me:)
http://valhallahguild.prophpbb.com/?sid=535999d370212fc729b6001bd1ec8a95 Guilds going strong with a fantastic core comprised of mostly 10 year plus players. Lacking a few things like warriors/chanters and the infamous healers in general. Fortunately we have some of the best geared/played knights on the server (they left the top guild on the server to help and be a part of this project) Weve cleared out the new ToV (save for vulak) and are pushing tier1 rof atm..... CoTF goes live tomorrow and our attention will focus on that. Im having a good time for sure. Hard to find a high end guild that isnt just a loot factory nowadays. If anyone plays on FV you should certainly check it out!
Tonight we changed recruitment policy. Basically the plan is to find old schoolers/experienced raiders willing to either transfer in their main from their server.... or to roll a lvl 1 on FV...the deal being a full power level of 100 with several thousand AAs. We realize this feature could be abused but were willing to take the gamble in the hope of finding talented players commited to their guild. Today (especially on FV) its a very quick process to do what were suggesting as well as gearing said toons in a matter of days. We are looking for warriors and clerics primarily, but we want people to play the character they love, and learn its abilities thoroughly. The commitment to us is minimum 2 days a week out of four we raid. mond-thursday 8pm-11pm est. Were currently completing t1 rof raids with a very minimal force of 30 or so talented players. If you have any interest in this endeavor you can reach Rampagious on FV or send me a message on these forums or vallhallahs linked above. Id love to see old faces. If you have any fear of not being able to "catch up" fear not. We WILL help. And if your coming from my past I can almost guarantee my personal assistance.
Ramp~
Created a ranger on FV today. Not sure I am up to raiding guild with life and job atm. but Ill chat ya up and bug you when I'm on
Abernath
I've still got Ranak laying around somewhere, but he must be vastly out of date now days. I can't even imagine.
Ok so I finally made the plunge and started some toons on FV. Extremely happy I did. The guild is pretty solid right now and growing stong. Has massive potential. I highly encourage anyone who wants to play with some old friends to come join us. Everyone has been really helpful getting my toons up to par from starting from scratch.
Would be really nice to see some old BoW faces come join our ranks !
Shant...... if you wanna come back to game id fuckin give you my SK... though frankly wed prefer another class. Being out of date is kinda hard to be these days. Gears droppable on fv and were swimming in lower tier raid shit from RoF..... tons of it. Fuckin hit me up on FV bro.. if you got the time.... fuckin come on with it. Aint hollered at you in forever and we got a really sweet guild goin here.
For reference abers been on server 2 days and weve already pled 3 of his toons to 80 with just under 1k aa. Whats your number bro?
Ok shant sent ya an email and a pm. If you see this shit hit me here ( http://valhallahguild.com/forums/ ) and if any of yall got a cell on shant please hit me up with it.
Ok, so basically where I am at is that I have my computer setup, but I can't login to EQ. I can get to the login screen, but it's glitching out. When I press enter world, nothing happens. I got on the phone with sony support today and they told me that it's more than likely my processor being overclocked that's causing it. So despite me wanting to play, it doesn't look like my computer and Sony wanna play nice.
We broke into tier2 last night... starting t2 raids in about an hour. Puttin a suit of cultural together for ya (gathering augs) but ill kinda need to know your race. If your gonna play a warrior only cultural I can make is WE/HE but we have tons of master crafters in guild. Still no luck fixin that issue? seems like everquest would be a breeze to play OCed.
So I am being told at this time that it may not be the dual core processor issue. However, I am still working with Sony to see if they can come up with a resolution. Some people think that the dual core problem has been resolved. Right now I am putting a solid state HDD in my computer, and I'm going to redownload the came and try it again.
I have some threads out on a few forums to see if I can get some help too
ok bud. just gives me more time to get shit ready for ya. Aber made FM tonight.... We still want another good warrior or three.
Ok, so no matter what I should be on Friday. I am actually picking up a pimped out single core unit to play with haha. Also, I am sure I can dual comp with this. Would it be best if I created a few players to play together at a time?
Hey guys, so it would be a lot of fun if we could get some more old schoolers to come back and join us. The PL went quick....87 with 1700 aa and it would fun if you wanted to try out a different class. We're always looking for some more for the raid atmosphere, and it's been a blast to get back into. Good people, and the new content is pretty alluring. If you're bored and want to come back and kill some time in EQ come to Firona Vie! I'll bribe if needed!
Little update. We are still going strong over on FV. having tons of fun. Getting ready to break into tier 3 RoF. Would love to see some more old BoW come join us! Really solid crew we have going.
Just completed the first raid in Cotf , working on 2nd one now. Spots are filling up fast in raids. Don't hesitate to come on over!
We just got into Tier 4 RoF last night! Come join us. We need clerics and DPS !
We nabbed a serverfirst cotf raid as wel day it was released. Would love to see more boW faces here. Its all we lack in essence.
All of CoTF on farm. Should have Cotf tier 2 Tower raid on farm starting tomorrow. Come join in the fun with some old BoW! Top guild on FV now!
I was telling Zophim a couple of weeks ago that I run my own squad of 85+'s on another server when I am bored. If I get some free time, I may decide to transfer over a toon or two.
A little update from us..... We've officially taken the top spot on the server and edged fire and fury out a bit, however it is still being contested. We have all content defeated with the exception of one raid... Plane of War.... which only one guilds beaten in the game atm..... ROI....... yet ANOTHER offshoot of BoW. It is literally 10 months from the day of creation, to now. Pretty successful guild and finally filling raids while the other guilds around us crumble.
Check it out! Valhallah.org
God I wish I had the time to join you:(
I'm sorta tempted... to get Aber to level me, and try to play on weekends. Tell me that's a bad idea.
edit: Ah.. just looked at your webpage.. you only play on weekdays. I'm safe from EQ addiction!
Hah , how can i level you afk! you could still come and just play on weekends for old time sake lol
Practically though, 95% of the value of an MMO is green text, so since it appears you don't have a dirty casuals classification, safe from that! Maybe if in 2-3 years when I quit my 100% travel job.
Currently ranked 4th worldwide Valhallah (http://www.valhallah.org/index.php)
And we finished CoTF last night. Raiding in The Void wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Z
Fourth ranked and holding untill next xpac release 4 months from now. Fully functioning guild now with a full roster if anyone feels like getting on board its not hard to get upto speed. See a couple people poking around from time to time but unfortunately they dont have the time. Would love to see old friends in game. Enjoying playing with some of you again in bleeding edge content.
Bump... still looking for more members. Everything on farm. Looking forward to new expansion! Give abernathic a tell on FV server if your interested!
What game is this even for now?!
-Kriegar 1.0/Jakarta/Leo
Everquest lol! We are going to a transition period atm. Going towards less requirements for guild. Would be a great time for anyone wanting to come back. Can use all classes. Working our way levelling and progressing the newest expansion TDS now!
Sadly Valhallah as we know it is done. Was a fun ride while it lasted..
What happened?
To many left game and retired. And population on FV server can't really sustain 3 raiding guilds.
The feeling I got on the FV server was that it's just the last stop on the way to the retirement home. I mean, it was for me (as much as anything ever will be). Long term success is dependent on constantly rotating in new people as the old ones leave, and that's not a sustainable model.
Z
Ouch!
:(
I still log into the game from time to time solo playing my bard.
Can the remaining consider going to a new server that is more active?
I could, but the 5 month taste of the game I had was enough for me. I'm back on the EMU with Aber and will probably just ride that out. Some interesting and at times crazy things going on with me right now anyway, so committing time isn't something I can do right now anyway.
We'd have to start over if we left FV anyway, wouldn't we?
Z
Starting over. Yes, quit possibly. You would unless you do the instant level 85 option or possibly a server transfer if that is an option for you guys. I have done that a couple of times already.
I would not mind playing in a guild again if you guys decide to try again. Sometimes a new server may be the right move. If you do decide on doing that, let me know.
ah man jack and kurt both back on sleeper... Who else went back to the dark side. you guys are tempting me to load it up
That was sudden. Y'all were like "omg no casuals", then kaboom!
So like... Kegz? Y'all are cool with him now?
I've been screwing around in Warcraft/Uther/Alliance... figured I'd check out the 5 years of content I skipped. It's nice playing a game that doesn't require boxing to do anything...
I still don't trust him but I'll invest minimal energy so I can hang with a few old pals
I certainly am not "cool" with Kegz, nor do I trust him to do all the things that need to be done in a timely manner. I will say he seems more responsive and some things have been fixed, so I guess I'll just remain optimistic about it and hope for the best.
The real good news is that since you can 4-box now, it's not as much of a pain in the ass overall. Mobs hitting a little harder than they should or having the wrong abilities is much easier to mitigate with 4 toons as opposed to 2. I mean, that's not ideal, of course, but I'm willing to give the guy a chance.
I just hope when it all comes down to it, he's willing to accept some help. I fixed a few quest mobs last time and couldn't even get him to talk to me about it. This time, well, we'll see I guess.
I'm with Beau though. Minimal effort (and something I enjoy doing) is worth it to find out if it's the same shit show or a different one.

stop playing craps
aion was fun until i got banned for typing too fast
i reckon old BoW could kick some ass in one of these new pay to win games, we should hit one up 8)
ps: ylaine w r u
Feamir ! quit resisting the urge and come play me me , Beau and Kurt on Sleepers lol
Plus Aberclaus has spread enough presents around that we can get at least two more groups geared!
Realistically, I'd have to just make Aber level me, haha. 100% travel job for the win/loss.
Did they make MQ legal and is there a reasonable version for it?
I do have a 60 ranger / shaman i rarely use haha!
.....
Been playing on Test some the last month.
Didn't think I'did actually miss the game, but it's still the most fun I've had in any MMO.
Any of you old Torv folks playing on Phinigel? I emphasize the OLD part. ;)
Been rockin' out the EMU server :) Working on beta testing PoP.
Good to see old names here though for sure!
