    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    I don't know, don't care, and never talked about the difference between not-for-profit and non-profit, or what point you're trying to make. I posted about an anecdotal conversation I had with my wife and you flipped out about courtroom correctness of this story, the 'portion' of the lawsuit ie...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Love the pivot from “you’re legally clueless” to “this is just pedantry” the moment the nuance didn’t go your way. That’s some high-level consistency right there.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Just ask AI to do it. it's not a complicated case. You can even make it summarize the case like a pirate, or in language a retarded adult would understand. No, I didn't share the 2 dozen links to jury instructions with my wife. Here for you:

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Not that it really matters to anything to do with current EQ or the lawsuit but on the topic of EQN and Smedley leading its depressing failure: I do remember seeing Smedley involved with promoting EQN and launching that landmark alpha or whatever you call it that ran like shit on my computer...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    resource hunter is fun. pulls a crowd of ppl to level in random ass zones, just like the old days unfortunately they did a lot to make the server seem unfun before they started. i think the original rules said 1-2 zones per expansion would have a random bonus, so we didn’t even know if we’d...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    ai is a dirty liar when it comes to eq even with very specific questions, it will just make stuff up halfway through your conversation with it i once asked for summaries of some books, looking for sparknotes style rundowns, until something seemed fishy and i looked up the real sparknotes. the...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    would love someone to distill the experience of full group automation into a rich rpg right now it’s illegal, but tons of people accept the risk anyway because it has some easy-entry, yet high skill ceiling strategic and planning aspect that is hard to find in other games making that its own...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    necros geared with focus effects should be at the top of the parse, right after the charmed mobs

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    as much as i think this server is a weird idea, i’ll be trying it as is. obviously there’d be some changes, ex. pacing, that i’d be okay with but if they had just started it at 60 and therefore just give us oakwynd 2.0 without classic, ya no thanks. at least teek had some fun loot to look...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    not to mention theres going to be random zones hitting “increased” experience… not always the exp buff, and likely not often in places that matter but every once in a while the roulette *should* hit something decent and it will be stupid easy to level alts for a day if you find out you only...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    even with malo and that druid -fire res (ro’s sundering?) guessing you’d probably still have less than 5% or even worse to hit ignite blood which is already -100 i mean, you’d have to land malo in that scenario. could be wrong. cool thing is if you manage to stick the dot, it will go full...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I seem to remember necros crushing the parse when focus effects were enabled E bolt doesn’t have -resist modifier as far as I remember but ignite blood and bond of death do. looks like there’s an extra poison dot down the level path from velious that i can only guess stacks with e bolt on...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I reckon that’s.. playable.. for at least one guild. Huge barrier to entry though with no groups especially with 1-60 out the gate. I wonder how long the experiment will last.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    how’s Tormax doing? I put in the forums early on after launch that people might play there if they made soloing more tolerable. Next test patch they put in OOC regen. Sometimes, it feels like they’re reading our posts. Sadly it still wasn’t enough for me to play on Tormax, though.

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Meanwhile on Tormax, there are no un-anon 60s I rolled and played to about 10 just to experience that museum piece of a tlp. It’s bizarro world especially after spending time with Teek’s population. Tormax feels like a live server with no central meeting hub and no items to buy. Everyone is...
