You cannot be in the server first kill of any raid boss in an expansion that has a level increase. Saying 'all content can be seen without an xp pot' is naive. I can also just come back 6 years later and 'see' all the content. What matters in a multiplayer game is what happens with and around...

Post GoD everything is instanced in EQ. In WoW everything is instanced. Are you saying there is no 'win' condition in those games other than personal satisfaction of clearing the content with your wife's boyfriend's guild? You could argue it's a 'solo' game or single player, but plenty of...

People defending xp pots and 'qol' as not p2w are this annoying cross section of people who have a deontological belief that 'p2w is always bad' paired with an overwhelming need to fellate the devs and position them as never being able to do wrong. This leads to the kind of retarded apologia...

Depends on the tedium and the 'goal'. XP pots fuel the server first races on TLPs, since having your team max level faster is a required advantage. A guild not abusing RMT/xp pots/warping will not win the race. In that case, they are pay to win, since USD is used to facilitate victory...

I'd imagine Game Jawn was at the mercy of DBG wrt monetization. They probably would have least come up with a little less antiquated option, but cynically it most likely has to do with DBG trying to look good on paper more than any hope for long term success. XP pots, for example, probably is a...

The real world is that THJ was this (but better) and was free and had huge community support. It doesn't matter how 'illegal' it was. This game will be compared to what happened. DBG killed THJ in the most hilariously inept way (ie retarded dev apparently now on legends side that couldn't get to...

A box and a monthly sub. Also XP potions. THJ was free and better.

It's not that it's a huge slog, it's that it's a terrible zone and that forcing people to play in it is stupid. Even if you fix everything about sky it's still the worst 'raid zone' in classic/kunark.

But worse! Swipe your card guys!

Sky is not hated because it's hard. Sky sucks because it's a slog with stupid mechanics (DT) and weird forced time gates and keying requirements. Also 90% of the random trash shit that drops is useless clutter.

In THJ, it just gave you the 'best' of each class. So combat calc from your best class, AC calcs, etc. It counted you as being all three classes so if you were enc/clr/brd you could wear plate and dual wield and cast enchanter spells. Knowing this though, it probably will be worse and more...

Dad's are not going to fear, they are going to play to mid 20s, have their fill of nostalgia and then drop off. Why would they be nostalgic for shit they never did in the first place? Having three classes to figure out, with new abilities and items you have no nostalgia for isn't a carrot. I'd...

I believe you can summon anyone to your party like coth, so maybe they just think their GMs are so retarded they need to see someone with boxes stuck to them to identify cheating? Like you said, cheating thrives not because of detection, just go to Siren's Grotto on a TLP at any time of day and...

We can only hope the blue button pressers only get to 49%

What ever happened to his AI pirate videos. His youtube channel poofed. I missed the fallout of the aoc stuff. Destruction of evidence, we're all going doooooown. :lumie: Also the word incel is losing all meaning when a guy with a wife and two kids is an incel. Did he bust in a cup or something?

This is my read from the discord and stream. They're throwing in the basic qol that a lot of emus have already done (in many cases better) and people who don't play emus think they are the second coming for inventing all of these amazing features. Just feels like a lot of stolen valor and while...

Yeah, it's really Visionary Realms' fault or not releasing on schedule. Bastards.

Dear detectives. Nobody here liked that guy. Please tell him FOH says 'stay Bradmad'.

At least he'll be out of prison before Pantheon hits v1.0

If I was a game dev, I would 100% filter my beta keys, but probably in the opposite way you mean. I would want the sweatiest shit lords possible who are actually going to push the shit out of my systems and try to break them. I don't want some casual fair weather player who is going to relive...

This server was made because people were mad that THJ was fun.

Yeah they said there are racial unlocks, what about gender unlocks? Dragon Hoard is in, and so is Tradeskill Depot. Xtar too, they said they don't want to get rid of things, but emphasize things that are more noob friendly. This is definitely a 'me and the wife haven't played eq in 20 years!'...

One character per server due to technical constraints lol THJ was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps! It's basically THJ but every system is slightly tweaked to be dumber.

This shit gets me heated lol. I don't give a shit about external politics, etc getting in a game as long as they are contextualized in the game world. Right now we only know of Erudites very particularly being black and probably Wood Elves / Half Elves being brown skinned. Great. So what would...

Yeah, while this won't be a replacement for what THJ was, I felt like the design decisions of the devs were interesting enough for me to want to try a different experience by them.

Anyone who has ever played with p99ers know this is a mark against it.

Everybody ignoring Ssraeshza

I called them Iskar for most of Kunark. o_O

EQ Legends: Like THJ but Worse!

If I was running a game that I cared about (DBG obviously do not care), I think it would be pretty easy to keep on top of community sentiment, and that would mean avoiding my own official channels as much as possible. Granted, these are the retards who couldn't solo sneak to Nagafen on THJ to...

That post doesn't bode well for EQL, since Secrets seems to completely miss what was good about THJ and is seemingly blind to it due to their autistic 'systems' brain trying to analyze human behavior while not being a normal human. Even funnier knowing that the LLC was already formed by the time...

Time is every human's most valuable currency. I don't have time to raid/farm so by the same logic let me just buy the items directly. 🙃

Did they actually mention xp pots? I know Secrets said there would be no buying 'power', but esp in the p99 community, xp pots are haram. Who exactly is their audience?

There will still be RMT, it'll just be old school RMT like the classic days with zero protection for the buyers. :D I am guessing they are not using krono because their company is circling the drain and they don't want more liabilities on the books when they try to juice up the numbers for the...

Problem I have with WoW housing is that it's too little, too late. This would have been peak around wotlk/cata era when people who played weren't all gay furries. Imagine a cool guild hall, putting boss loot from your first big kill on the mantle. Instead now wow is non-binary slop and housing...

5 hour interview with Tigole was not something I expected out of 2026.

I feel like in the past, similar kinds of mass outrage events ended up with Steam siding with the players and doing mass refunds. Didn't that happen with Helldivers 2 during the whole playstation account outrage?

Ashes brings together two of the most wholesome enterprises in all humanity, MLMs and Private Equity.

MMOs are like adventure games, RTS, etc. They were interesting relics of a specific time in gaming, but the combinations of features that made them interesting were parceled out into different genres / game modes. MMOs became big before social networks, discord, etc. Even when WoW was big, one...

This is why Vaniki is still the best TLP server in recent memory. Got to do a bunch of weird GoD++ shit when you really shouldn't have been there. Also enchanters having uncapped charm didn't hurt.
