Guild Information / Old School Noobs
« Last post by Fortay on September 29, 2021, 07:55:27 pm »
Old School Noobs (OSN) is an Everquest guild on the Mischief Time Locked Progression (TLP) server. OSN is a casual and friendly guild that encourages guild groups and participation.

The majority of our members are recently returning EQ players that have played since nearly the games inception. A group of folks that are packed with experiences from the past and are redeveloping and relearning skills from those experiences together as a team. Hence the guild title, Old School Noobs.

We are what you would consider a North American guild as most of the members are in the Eastern, Central, and Pacific time zones.

Currently we have been raiding a few times a week as we work on gearing and epics. Raids are not required but are encouraged as they help to increase our skills and abilities as a pack. Sometimes the raids are scheduled, sometimes they are spontaneous.

OSN is openly recruiting new members. There are no level, class, or gear requirements. We only ask that you respect the rules of no drama and absolutely no politics. Essentially in the words of Bill and Ted, Be Excellent to Each Other. Most EQ players play this fantasy MMORPG to get away from the bullshit of the day. We like to respect that.

The future of OSN depends of course on the actions of its members and leadership. With that said, our focus is to create a player setting where members can have the best of casual, friendly experiences and the benefits of a guild that actively raids and pushes boundaries of new content. In essence, we take care of each other.

OSN Daily / Luclin Release
« Last post by Fortay on September 29, 2021, 11:16:43 am »
The 3rd and a very significant expansion release in the Everquest time line is set to be released on the Mischief server October 13th.

The Shadows of Luclin originally released December 4, 2001. I remember when it was first released SONY really struggled with it. EQ was down for a couple weeks as they worked things out and if I recall correctly because of the extended down time they gave everyone a free month of play.

Significant Additions to Game:
  • Introduction of AA's
  • Introduction of mounts
  • New Class: Beastlord
  • New Race: Vah Shir
  • No more EC Tunnel spam! The Bazaar, a zone off of The Nexus allows you to setup a trader.

This will be a nice welcome to Mischief!

Futher Info from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EverQuest_expansions#The_Shadows_of_Luclin
The third expansion pack, EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin, was released on December 4, 2001, a year after the second. The expansion focuses on high-level content; it provides a number of zones meant to be used by large groups of players and a number of extremely powerful monsters to fight.

The expansion takes place on a moon of Norrath called Luclin and introduces the Vah Shir, a playable catlike race, and the Beastlord character class. Notable NPC races that were added to the EverQuest universe are the Shissar, a snake-like race, and the Akhevans. The Shadows of Luclin also incorporates a new game engine, new character models and gives players the ability to design graphic user interfaces. The appearance of the player's character was completely redesigned, giving them more layers and rounder shapes. Mounts were also introduced with this expansion – they allow players to regenerate their Health and Mana without generating as much aggro (hatred from monsters). Alternate Advancement started with the Luclin expansion which allows players to further grow and customize their classes.

The game includes many zones in which players of all levels can experience, several raid encounters such as the Lord Inquisitor Seru, and a high-end raiding zone, Vex Thal. SoL also introduced some new events that made some encounters more challenging than before, especially in the Ssraeshza Temple zone.

The Shissars (serpent-like creatures) were extremely powerful beings who once roamed the continent of Kunark where they had enslaved the Iksars. Rile, an Iksar hero, started a revolution and called upon a mystical force referred to as the Greenmist, who then killed the Shissars. Fleeing Norrath because the atmosphere became toxic, the surviving Shissars were helped by the Combine Empire and were sent to Luclin and the underwater sanctuary introduced years later with "The Buried Sea".

On Luclin, the Shissars built the temple of Ssraeshza - home of the powerful Emperor Ssraeshza (powerful enough to slay gods according to game lore). To protect themselves from the Greenmist, the Shissars magically sealed the Grey, a place where no atmosphere exists, and built their temple. Ssraeshza Temple (also known as Ssra) is part of the access to the high end zone of Vex Thal. Defeating the Emperor required completion of a key "quest" inside the zone, requiring the player(s) to track down, kill, and collect many other items, as well as collecting special weapons which did special damage to the emperor; The Emperor is immune to regular weapons, making the special weapons necessary for his death. Such weapons were introduced with SoL and are referred to as Bane Weapons. Later on, a Shadow Knight only quested weapon was introduced in Cabilis and called the Greenmist (Sacred Khukri of Rile), the most powerful Shissar-bane weapon.

In the United States, The Shadows of Luclin sold 360,000 copies ($9.9 million) by August 2006, after its release in December 2001. It was the country's 46th best-selling computer game between January 2000 and August 2006. Combined sales of all EverQuest computer games released between January 2000 and August 2006 had reached 2.7 million units in the United States by the latter date.[3]
