Hola, redguides. Noob to any sort of Everquest MQ/automation here.
I'm Tecmos Deception (don't mind the 'Underscore' in the username. I was irked after the signup page told me I COULD use an underscore in my name, but then trying to do so gave a 'bro you can't use underscores in your name' error. So here we are
). I've been playing EQ on and off since 99, though almost exclusively in classic era and on classic era-ish emulators. Sometimes I'm motivated enough to make videos to put up on youtube, usually of me playing an enchanter. I've done some light boxing on TAKP the last few years, and recently got the itch to try out 6 boxing. I was REALLY thinking "hey, I should get on a classic-ish era server and play a full party fresh, from scratch, self found, etc. through classic EQ." But I don't think something like that exists already, and I guessed that setting up my own server was maybe beyond my skill level.
So I've ended up on Project Lazarus for my foray into 6-boxing, and am trying to learn how to use MQ for the first time. And to be honest, it's been pretty annoying. Guides and videos I've seen so far have not seemed too friendly for legit newbies to this stuff. But the folks in discord I've chatted with so far are helpful, and I've got a little party at like level 12 over on Laz with .ini files I'm gonna build up as I keep playing and learning. The idea of piloting a full party through all the old, familiar zones of EQ, and or EQ kinda taking on a real-time strategy feel instead of the single-box MMORPG vibe I'm used to, sounds fun!
So yeah. Hello world, etc.
