Hi. I was a hardcore EQ player on Talon Zek back in the day. I had a few questions about SOD

1. Are the zones re-organized in a different configuration? I.E. Felwithe doesn't connect to Greater Faydark which doesnt connect to Butcher block Mnt ECT

2. Is there PVP?

3. The main site says there is new content. Does this mean the dev team can add new models to the engine or just edit the ones that are there?

Thanx for the info.
 
Welcome!, to answer your questions....
1. For the most part old zone connections hold especially in the old world/erudin/faydwer but there are a lot of exceptions and even if zones connect the same they are often populted with very different things than live.

2. You can flag yourself pvp and fight others who have alos done so, nothing like a pvp server though.

3. The dev team can not change the client but they add new content(zones, items, even a race once, lots of new quests etc).

Other than having the same look of the old Game, it is quite different and the best thing you can do is login and check it out I bet you will like it!
 
Thanks for the 411. For Question 3 I mean do the Dev's add new contend like creating a brand new zone from scratch or just modify existing zones?
 
I dont think they can make them from scratch, but how they are populated and the way you navigate them are often very original.
 
I believe Wiz documents what is possible with the EQ Client in Suggestions and Requests. Sounds like they would have to decompile the client and reverse engineer large portions of code.

Second, the vendor hasn't released it's map editor. Without one, map creation can be a lot of trouble.
 
I've heard about a program that can create EQ zonefiles... is there a reason we can't use this program for our client version? I don't know the name of it, I'd have to ask the guy who told me about it, or it can probably be googled up. Just think that might be an interesting possibility if it can be done ^^
