You pretty much had to want to seek out lore, in EQ. I'd say most people got to 50 without knowing EQ had any lure at all. I don't remember any. Then again, I gave it up a little bit into Kunark. Not sure many people where into the questing part of EQ back then.

I don't think you need an " invite ", you just signup. https://account.monstersandmemories.com/

Make sure you all are watching your temps. I got a massive GPU temp spike, with a 3070 ti, just having the server select open.

Thats one of those things I believe every online game dev wishes they had an answer to. I have never seen it done well to this date. The rebirthing might work for a while but I'm sure most will get bored with it after a few times. I play a lot of these rebirthing games with my kids on Roblox...

The rebirthing(reincarnation) system isn't rewarding enough, it's just annoying. The cube cheese, alt merc swapping, + loot stuff, and auto sell bags are nice, but the rebirthing is a game killer for me. I'd rather just be classless. But I guess that's why its Chainbreaker. Lots of good stuff...

Neat. I always enjoyed these. I guess it's time to dust off my fishing pole and grab some worms.

Good enough, I guess. Just ended up grabbing the DC upgrade for $6. You can buy it through the website, for some reason it's not available from the app.

Did they just change it to the normal version? boo.

Perfect timing, I was looking to buy the death stranding director cut just the other day. Glad I didn't pull the trigger. Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Pretty sure EQ2 had instancing, " pick zones ", and time lock raiding based on when your character entered a zone, which came out before wow. iirc.

I'm glad these guys are doing this because, it will show how much interest there is left in a 99 EQ type game. I have my doubts. And I have said before that I hope this is 100% a passion project and is not something that they are hoping is going to pay the bills. I always wondered how many...

From what Jeff Butler said in that 3-hour interview with Shawn, Brad wasn't truly happy with EQ, anyway. Brad wanted the game to be about exploration, more of along the lines of a MUD. The game didn't have to be hard but punishing, if that makes sense. The way MUDs were. Where you'd learn the...

I wish there was a free to play mode that didn't involve V, Jack, or the main story, which sucked, where I could just do my own thing. I also wish I could make a fat slob character, like Wilson, from the gun range, or Dex. You can make a dude with boobs, or a chick with a dick. but not a fat...

And who knows what would have happened if all those zones came out together, at the same time. I'm sure people wouldn't be as brainwashed as they are today with " MUH Guk ". Guk was the place to be because it was what we had at the time, the gear was some of the best, it was easy to access, and...

Just have similar items drop off of different named mobs and bosses. Drelzna drops Jboots, and some Named female Centaur, let's call her Kate, drops Kate's Hoof Boots, Hboots, etc. Instancing is just a combination of laziness, being in a rush, and poor game design. Not sure why a game like this...
