Train to ZoneFollow

Craziest training I've ever seen was during the Dreadlands War. If you survived 15 minutes in Dreadlands without getting a train of 20 mobs it was a miracle.

This is more of a "Damm I'm Bored" train ..

Every once and awhile, I go to Misty, and FluxStaff every Creature on the West Side of the Wall and run them to Northern Orc Camps, then Cast off a Very nasty AE .. Takes about 15 minutes to clean up the mess .. (I think it's like 40+ Goblins/Drows/Orcs/Spiders/etc on the Run)

hehe ... Damm I'm Bored .. Think I'll go nuke the zone ..

I play a Ranger and have no idea what this train thing you are talking about. =)

To be honest 90% of the trains that have killed me were not of my making but from a monk running up going Train and FD. =/

i seen a few of these big trains (they semi stoped by time i reached tov lvls) was on tholuxe paells server. the top 2 guilds would train the holy crap out of each other to get mobs. well needless to say after about 4 or 5 months of this stuff (including lagging the zone to force LDs and stuff like that) (man sanctuary spell is $$ for that back in the day). the gms finally got involved and told everyone in the 2 guilds that if either of them are in zone at same time, or either of them train each other again, or (for about 2 weeks) who ever entered tov in either of the guilds would have there accounts banned forever. lol was great entertainment.

One way to improve oow faction, use an Earthshaker and ...


'1' '2' '3'

This one is second hand, and I don't remember the details, but I remember hearing in serverwide.cleric from the archon who was sacrificed on an (Uqua, I think?) raid when a random mob came tearing around a corner at high speed during a med break, raced through a room full of PCs, ************ one cleric, turned around, and zipped back to spawn before anyone could react.
The raid took a 15 minute recess for the guild to compose themselves again enough to function.
Not exactly a train, but it seemed to fit...

Simply put for old schoolers.

SPECS TO DOCK! :D

gotta be one of my all time faves.

taking my druid into chardok and fearing 2 or 3 dogs into castle works for a great train i sat with my monk who's ally and watched the mayhem

Fancy wasn't big on train size, rather train quantity. He is a classic example of how to make training look good though.

A little off topic here, but...

I'm happy to see the side effect of this thread. It looks like it has encouraged a lot of the regular reader-onlys to post. Now, if those reader-onlys would post more often, these forums would come alive again!

I know I trolled the forums without posting for a year or 2 before I started posting regularly myself, so I can see how it can be intimidating to get involved in a community that can at times seem very harsh. For all those "reader-onlys" out there that haven't been posting much, if at all, wether it be because you're nervous of the reaction you'll recieve or because you might feel you don't really have anything to contribute or whatever reason you may have, I encourage you to go ahead and test the waters! It's nice seeing all the new names, but if you don't post more then once every 6 months, it's going to be hard to remember who you are. Just as in the game, these forums are about the community.

Most memorable here was during PoEarth rings....we where doing the VIne ring and where set up on the Dusty Temple....when someone pulled Dusty warder, I had just enough time after calling attack on the nearest F8 mob to realize what it was before it died and spawned the dust event on our heads

Best train quantity I have ever done was when I was a newbie in BoT. I had my roommate friend take me to his group at south wing teleport pad camp. We were camping Gaukr Sandstorm. We killed it, he left shortly after and I stayed in the group for some EXP.

Well finally the group broke up. I could not gate. The group left without asking if I knew how to leave. This being my first time in BoT, I did not know how to use the teleporter pads. I was looking north away from the teleporter then turned around to notice everyone was gone!

The only way I knew how to leave was the way I came in. It was late at night and every spawn point was up. So I ran out! I brought every giant from south wing to the entrance! I made it out only beacause I had Spirit of Eagle on!


For everyone who thinks there was a level cap for a zone there NEVER was! There is minimum level requirements on zones. You know Plane of Fear? well when EQ was first released the minimum level to enter was 1. Then later it was raised to 46. Further setting the minimum for all planes.

The only cap is the highest level you could attain at the time. You can enter any zone at level 60 when Kunark was released provided you are keyed. Every time the level cap was raised you could enter any zone at the max level keyed or flagged.

This timed out shaman was practicly PLing me and a few others in BoT. Some one suggested that we should move about to find some named to make things a bit more interesting.
The shaman invised us and we went up the hall way opposing the stairway. As we reached a safe spot in the corner of a room with a teleporter, we all took off invis and were geting ready to pull.
Sure enough, one of us was missing. Another genius ranger was running through the hall way with a giant tale of van militis. He runs towards us, gets hit a few times, runs to the teleporter and gets safely taken to i-have-no-idea-where. We were left with about 10 van militis and a named that was sitting in front of the teleporter.
We ran for our dear lives, but to all avail,
You have been summoned by a van militis...
You have lost a level! You are now level 64!
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT..
The shaman quit the group and we commensed cussing at the ranger. Sure enough, he said, "what? it's not my fault! I didn't know!" Which now reminds me of this << click it (LLEEERROOOYY JEEENNNKKIINNSS)

Best train i ever saw was actually a glitch..lemme see, how do i explain the way this looked. ahh, you know when you beat solitare on the computer and the cards bounce around leaving trails.. I was in Abyssal Lords, an all dark guild from Tallon Zek, at the time..on my sk Childeater (gm's changed my name to childhates /bird). Anyways, we are on our way to kill Grieg and as we zone in from DSP we see a mass of corpses right at the zone line..i mean, back in the PK hayday before pok when you would go to crushbone to find a lil action there would be a blanket of corpses on the ground as if bodies were leaves off a great tree who has had its last leaf fall. the zone in to griegs was a lot like that..so we peak around the corner..all looks good, just our guildies in zone probably 4-5 groups of us (we were still workin our way up and were the only real all dark raid guild on the server at the time). so we were just gonna start plowing through the mobs like usual only when we pull the first mob...remember what i said about the cards when you win in solitare..the mob does that, turns out the zone in mob had been spawning on top of itself for god knows how long or how fast, all i know is most if not everyone on the raid dropped pretty much instantly when what looked like a few hundred mobs hit us.. if i had blinked i would have missed it, it was the worlds worst domino effect on fast forward.

also, this isn't a bad train by any means..but do you remember when oasis was THE exp spot in yer teens? and people would train the spectres on the doc? well, that was me...lol j/k i was one of the people laying next to you ; )

here is another that will bring back fond memories...the old plane of hate, ever have someone sit up a lil to far on the wall and agro what must have been the whole next floor? *giggle* hate use to be crazy, now its a nerf bunny shaped pillow compared to back then..just the trains that would happen at the zone in were bad enough.
