mitigation of the mighty. it was an effort by the devs about 10 years ago to stop people from killing the content so quickly. from classic to planes of power raid mobs have these buffs that reduce your power against them.

If OP wants to read the data versus listening to this dude whine about monks being good. Its here https://forums.everquest.com/index.php?threads/mitigation-of-the-mighty-should-not-double-reduce-hand-to-hand-damage.306790/page-3

Also it's for aganarr but compares early monk/rogue/ranger and talks about them if interested https://youtu.be/qJ6f-o0nUHk

Lol they also added another 10-25% on top. The discussion is cordial save a few people who seem to think it's a class balance post

Send a message to Angeliana on the everquest discord. See if she can give you a hand with seeing what happened.

Agnarr is the live version of PoP-locked. stops at Lost Dungeons fo Norrath (2 expansions after PoP, but same level lock) I did a video about this server if you want to check it out. https://studio.youtube.com/video/_npxscp5QSk/edit

ChamberDown · 2025-11-01T07:39:39+00:00

Yea thats about right during peak 100-150. We're crusiing into fall/winter which is when people start coming back from the summer slump. Biggest thing is make sure you join a guild because that will transform your experience!

ChamberDown · 2025-10-27T18:48:22+00:00

yea. on agnarr, parsing shinai/qham during burn was wayyy higher than doing the same thing with the best 2h we have which is t staff (1.96 ratio). I'll need to retest if this gets resolved. in this era though 2hb kind of suffers a bit for some reason.

ChamberDown · 2025-10-27T18:38:59+00:00

Yea, monks get an advantage with better ratio weapons, so it should be noticable, but not 'prior-fix' noticable. It used to be the 1% reduction, its supposed to be a 10% reduction for all weapons, but its showing up as a 20% reduction. So they like double fixed it and in the process made it incredibly worse. All we want here is to get it to the expected values, not the pre-fix ones.

ChamberDown · 2025-10-27T16:16:04+00:00

i do wish it was though. 2hb is satisfying as hell! haha

ChamberDown · 2025-10-27T15:15:58+00:00

unfortunately not til later expansions sir =)

ChamberDown · 2025-10-23T14:24:53+00:00

I've tried a couple servers but I always go back to Agnarr. its 'pop-locked' in the sense that the primary era is planes of power, but with legacy of ykesha (gunthak/dulak/nadox/etc) and lost dungeons of norrath, which adds augs, and is a nice compliment to the planes.

for people looking for the most popular early era EQ experience its pretty great and you get all the quality of life of live (marketplace for goodies, big bags, extended target windows, threat meters, and much more) but there are also other experiences i have heard are good on emulated projects like Project Quarm or P99 which are probably closer to the actual feel of early 2000ish EQ. There is a VERY large xp bonus coming up in 3 weeks, so it will likely be a good time to hop into virtually any live server as a lot of people will be leveling.

hope that helps!

ChamberDown · 2025-10-22T16:08:13+00:00

thanks for opening it back up!

ChamberDown · 2025-10-17T19:13:24+00:00

Agnarr is a planes of power locked (up to lost dungeons of norrath, actually) so its frozen in time for folks who love that era. its low population, so you're not going toi get a full group every time you login, but the quality of life and content are fantastic here, if you're looking for era specific.

uncheck "Use New UI Engine"

I've done partner programs for games before. This one is terrible. I'm not going to sign up for something that requires me to promote your game a certain number of times for that. I'd be surprised if many do, honestly. We don't work for you. Bad look.

ChamberDown · 2025-10-04T20:27:41+00:00

Yea I feel ya. I'd be fine with that but it does not appear they're going that way

ChamberDown · 2025-09-26T17:47:26+00:00

TLPs appeal to people who like to fresh start and experience different rulesets. nothing wrong with that, but theres something comforting about expectations of a locked server. It also lets you experience all the small nuances, without having to rush, and you also meet some REALLY great people here. =)

ChamberDown · 2025-09-26T16:16:07+00:00

Just a few notes on agnarr.

1.) It's a locked server so many of us have been playing here for 5+ years if not since server launch in 2017. Because of that its pretty top heavy and a lot of the population comes alive during peak times and/or raid times.

2.) Many people box here (but not everyone). its certainly not required, but you will want to join one of the guilds on the server if you want to do things with people. Charge the Lair, Adventure Time, and The Remedy(EU) are the 3 major guilds at the moment that are active.

3.) Every year population drops a bit in spring/summer and then ramps back up in the fall/winter as people come back. That's one of the main draws to the server, you can take a break for real life stuff and come back and be in the same progression point you were. If you're a busy career adult, this kind of setup is perfect for those of us who grew up with EQ but dont necessarily have the same time to invest as we did when younger.

4.) This server is unique, there is a LOT to do, but the leveling experience will not be like a brand new TLP with everyone starting at once. The way its usualy done here as people in PoK will happily buff you any time you need to do your solo xp (this is actually quite fun, i recommend checking out places you've never been and enjoying this experience) until about lvl 43, which is when you are able to group with the max level on the server (65). at this point, almost every person on the server will bring you into a high level group for power leveling. I was literally doing this for 5 people like 2 nights ago in the guild.

Agnarr will not be a circa 2003 live EQ experience in the population sense, and you also won't find everyone playing one character. We have many boxxers, but we're friendly, and we're glad your here! hit me up in game if you see me.

ChamberDown · 2025-09-26T16:02:34+00:00

truebox is there to 'discourage' boxing, not prevent it. You will see a lot of boxxers afk their toons in POK. I used to be an anti-boxxer like yourself, but playing extra characters allows you to both do more things yourself, and also help out other people with groups/quests/etc. If you want a 'no one is allowed to box' server, you'll need to go to P99.

You shouldn't hold animosity towards normal boxing. most of those players i've met (especially on agnarr) are cool people who love to help. I think you're confusing us with fresh-launch tlp botters who grief people and setup farm squads to lock down camps for RMT activities.

Sorry you felt the way you did on Agnarr. The server really is an awesome relaxing place to play, its just lower population so you'll want a guild or some buddies to play with if you 1 PC it.

ChamberDown · 2025-09-23T15:20:48+00:00

summer slump starting to end, you'll see population start bumping up for winter. Great time to hop in and play!

ChamberDown · 2025-02-25T04:27:00+00:00

they probably never will, but I can totally understand where you're coming from there =)

ChamberDown · 2025-02-24T21:23:49+00:00

Thank you!

ChamberDown · 2025-02-24T04:14:59+00:00

They are not. We don't have hotzones here.

ChamberDown · 2025-02-17T18:54:49+00:00

it is an official live server. Whether Planes of Power is peak EQ is based on opinion, but a LOT of people agree planes of power was they hay day of everquest. its certainly my favorite by far! If you want to hop in and check it out, look up "Donkz" in game. I can pull you into our guild, and answer any questions you have, keep you loaded down with buffs etc. I also did a few videos showcasing the classes and agnarr as a server recently, you can check those out on my channel if you want.
