It is still very much alive - it is still pre-alpha - they were stress testing the servers this weekend - ran smooth - no maps or hand holding, but it is hard to tell what is intentional and what was empty/missing just due to where they are in development. I killed large rats and bats in the newb yard, found my trainer and found I didn't have enough money to buy spells, but mostly died to decaying skeletons.

​@zorgonox8479 the selling aspect was odd lol have to go to each type of vendor to get rid of each type of loot. Only thing that threw me off.

@@Tinfoiledhat Tat threw me way off too

couldn't find the cook and apparently that's the one that buys the most

​@@zorgonox8479yeah apparently there's a guy also kind of like the shady shwashbuckler or whatever on EQ that'll buy goods from you, but won't give as much money.

It was very old school cool

Well in the past I would have said that ISBoxer is cool because it doesn't automate - however, the new Origins server may be banning people for broadcasting - there are conflicting reports in discord and on forums - Daybreak's official line is "no 3rd party software' - so if you want to be safe - I'd stay away from this at least on Origins/Anashti-Sul and be aware of the risks on live.

And thanks - pinning this because this vid is getting a lot of hits with the server out - people should know the risk and I for one am not using ISBoxer on Anashti-Sul.

@@zorgonox8479 it’s good that your given an honest opinion on the matter as like me id love to do it but it’s a personal choice if it’s worth the account risk. Ofc some people will definitely love this video and go for it 👍

Are you sure you have ISBoxer configured for the origins version of the game? It may be trying to load a live install instead of your origins install - that's my only idea - this may be a isboxer discord question unfortunately - I havent loaded it up on origins - so there may be quirks I haven't run into.

@@zorgonox8479 could you explain how I load it up to origins, how I go into the setting. Thanks.

this one's relative success has surprised even me. I initially just made it for my guild because we were considering trying it and I wanted to throw as basic a gist as possible. Glad it helped.

That may be an ISBoxer discord question

I am going to make a toon on the TLE coming out and will likely do some videos then. Glad it's still helping.

Generally, from the wizard, I click a few boxes to enable overlays for 1-=, alt 1 - =, shift 1 - = and ctrl 1 - =. That gives me 4 individual bars. I then map each of those 1 - =, alt 1 - =, etc. in game to my open hotbars. Then I drag the appropriate bar to where it belongs. You can also choose to have those broadcast without the overlay, so if you just want to use hotkeys you can.....I hope I understood your issue, and I hope my answer makes sense.

@@zorgonox8479 it makes sense but I tried this and still wouldn't work. but maybe I didn't map correctly? that might be where I'm lacking knowledge. I did that, put the overlay on, still wouldn't click through. how to I make it broadcast w/o the overlay?

@@zorgonox8479 oh hey now there's this weird graphic on the overlay that has 3 humanoid figures like on a bathroom door sign and a red line connecting them. what is that? wasn't there before. any idea how to remove it?

@@zorgonox8479 yeah and I'm still not seeing it. Did a keymap, looked at another video, still nothing. It's an alt bar. I click and/or hold alt and nothing happens

I think you may need to ask in the ISBoxer discord - I'm out of ideas.

Seems that in EQ2 the philosophy is a mentor can help get you to the end game faster rather than join you for on-level content; if you want to experience the zones and leveling experience as originally intended, it is best to start on a TLP like Varsoon so you don't out level the quests and gear, though Varsoon is relatively far along now, so I'd wait for the next one - they usually come out in the spring, so a few more months.

Yeah, I saw the big news! Makes this even more out of date than it already is. Glad it is still helping.

All these videos are a huge help. I just came back after over ten years. Big influx of players on homecoming! They will be working on new content ❤

If you mean your monitor's default, you could either input those numbers into the /viewport command or change the resolution from the options on the eq button.

The funny thing is that it isn't available on the TLE, Varsoon, but I'm so used to fast travel, that every time I open the map on Varsoon I get mad realizing I have to run.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it is helpful

Glad it helped

I basically did the same thing, but it's so damn annoying to do!

Yes, if all instances are on the same computer - in fact they have to be. It doesn't work between different pcs - so not on TLPs except Rizlona and Vaniki.

glad it is still useful; I should change the title =)

@@zorgonox8479 if you are still around the game a generalized what to do what to think about guide would be really cool. Hard to come by relevant content for the game. Thanks for the reply ☺️

@@Lostenoch I still dabble, but am caught up in EQ's tlp atm; try www.youtube.com/@bear.necessities/featured. He is very current. When I return to EQ2, I plan on making more =)

I think they are working on it. Added the 64 bit, just added the UI engine and now DX11 is in the works. Hopefully true widescreen happens sooner rather than later.

I'm planning on making one this week in fact! Maybe even by Sunday.

@@zorgonox8479 Can you put up a link to it, please. I checked your videos, but could not find it. I love, that you first showed how it looks in game and how to use it in game. Now need to know how to set it up in ISBoxer/inerspace

I wouldn't launch it through steam personally - I'd download it from daybreak.

@@zorgonox8479 ill see if it makes a difference but at this point id rather final fantasy lol

Not to mention that you can never predict the future, so multi-core processing wasn't really in their thinking if my understanding is correct, so you still have some issues to this day on a mid-range tower because it wasn't built with todays processors or gpu's in mind.

@@zorgonox8479 this is one big area that WoW outplayed them. EQ2 lost me as a paying customer pretty quickly. Art design > technical fidelity. Though I can’t blame the devs back then for not knowing that. I CAN call them out for a pretty obvious poor design choice of “build it and it will eventually work”. Not a good business decision.

Beneath the checkbox for basic broadcasting 1 through =, and beneath the row with 3 checkboxes for alt, ctrl and shift, there is a checkbox for Enable Action Bar - I often miss it when I'm creating a new layout. Create a new layout and see if that is the issue; if not, I'd go to IS boxer's discord and see if folks there can help you troubleshoot.

You might try eq2interface.com and use their ui. I bet it works. Or.....forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/2k-4k-ui-issues-fixed-for-me-hoping-for-you-too.606015/

You are jealous I snagged the name Bogwarts. I guess you don't want to meet my monk..... =)

Thanks so much. It will absolutely be the next thing I do.

I plan on getting a full step-by-step video up in June, if life goes according to plan.

I think you would be better served by going to the redguides videos on that stuff; it and their forums is what got me through it. Also know that there is some upcoming work being done to mq2 due to the UI engine upgrades Daybreak is implementing. I doubt that will have an effect on an install now - but there may be some down time coming up; currently the eq test server is without redguides mq2 support from my understanding.

That's a good idea; it may take me a bit - real life and all, but I use the setup you are talking about with anything greater than 3 toons. Keep in mind that if you do toons on the side, some of the click-through video effects I use here won't work the same. For the 3440x1440 EQ in full screen issue, you can watch this for full screen options, and it is the basis for this set up: ruclips.net/video/IXGLWqGqq9o/видео.html
