What is Retribution?
Retribution is an account based, personal progression EQEmu server, and is not, nor claims to be affiliated with Daybreak Games.
Retribution allows players to relive forgotten memories of their conquests in nuanced ways through a unique mixture of rule-sets, quests, and items.
What is the Ruleset?
All players start in Classic and can progress through GoD by killing raid bosses or collecting certain items from each expansion. Progression is account based, meaning YOU have to participate to unlock each expansion for yourself.
What else makes Retribution unique?
Each player starts with pre-selected class defining AA, the ability to origin to the ORIGINAL bazaar, and access to new, powerful versions of their starting items.
Enemy strength, exp, and loot tables are all as you remember them… for the most part. As you relive memories of camping your favorite pieces of gear and slaying your favorite enemies, you will also begin to remember how strong you really were as you find rare versions of all wearable items are available. Like our memories, all gear can be found as Rose Colored (1.5x Stats) or Apocryphal (2x Stats + Bonuses).
With the access to class defining AA and tens of thousands of new, incredibly strong, albeit familiar pieces of gear, players may be able to clear most content with a single group, and therefore will be limited to three boxing + 1 Bazaar mule.
Other notable key facts about the server:
- All wearable items have had their required and recommended levels removed.
- All items are tradable, with the strongest Apocryphal versions being attunable.
- AoC’s (instanced raid content) exist for every progression raid zone with a low 22hr lockout.
- Classic versions of many zones have been restored.
- Enemy and named spawn rate decreased to 10 minutes in almost all zones.
- RoF Out of Combat Regen
- OOC and AUC chat feed our Discord server, allowing for players to chat with their in game friends while offline.
- Level caps match retail OTHER THAN classic being capped at 51 instead of 50 so you can grind AA while farming gear.
- All AA through The Buried Sea are live and attainable beginning at level 51.
- Big bags!
A note from Aporia:
“Some of the greatest memories I have from EQ were farming that one camp, hoping for that one named that could drop that one item and the joy that followed finally finding it. Being rewarded for your hard fought battles was something EQ did so well. Retribution takes that concept to a new level- and after all these years, Norrath still needs us, heroes! Come adventure with us and become as strong as you remember being!”
