Say what? I'm confused about spell books. I only died once at lvl 1 and spawned right near my corpse. And only made it to lvl 4.
So, you'd have to re-buy a spell to scribe it in a new book? And people can scribe spells in a spell book and hand it back? Anyone can cast SoW if someone scribes it...
There are two noob yards btw - western gate & north gate. And there is a little noob yard in front of the Concourse of Souls. Didn't know all this when I first logged in, and I just camped because the western gate was so damn crowded.
I'm not one of the smart people. But I would guess it's game and budget dependent. I've never played WoW or New World, but a quick google search says New World server caps are under 3k and WoW is a lot higher. Like 12-14k? So large servers are apparently doable. At least on a WoW budget.
Also...
It's on sale on Steam for $24 through 7/29. Hated this game when I played it on PS4 at launch, but the redemption story and updates have always intrigued me. Can't believe it's been out almost a decade, and that I'm rebuying it.
Looks like aggresively generic excrement. I see nothing so far that convinces me it'll rise above the slushpile of conceptually vapid, uninspired cash grabs.
Figure I'd just post here instead of bumping the old thread. Picked up the original during Steam Summer Sale and I haven't been able to put it down. This game is on track to be one of my favorite games of all time. Immersion is off the charts. Loving the various well thought out mechanics and...
Necro reply but it was interesting learning about EQ Mac on the dramaquest episode. Had no idea an official server existed for years that was basically frozen in time.
lol @ my buddy and anyone else who paid 5kr for tower gear in the first week. Props to the folks who got rich on that hustle. Last I saw sets were going for like 1/3 of a krono.
It's ok to admit you're a gheetard who completely forgot about Thornblade. Comparing Mischief to Teek and observing, "wow, Teek has a lot more people!" was a woefully misguided take.
You lashing out after making a gheetarded post is pretty hilarious though. It's as funny as sprinting to the EQ...
"A lot of people didn't give Mischief a try?" Lol what? The hype was insane. A fuckload of people gave it a try. Teek's player count is much higher because "Mischief's" population was split between two servers. Teek also had its server cap increased.
@Elderan what were Thornblade's numbers...
All of these are fucking bangers really. Makes me wish the evolving ruleset became standard for Teek.

I got frustrated with my mage and rolled a zerker during TSS. At lvl 75 with no AAs, no idea how to play the class really, and some weapon I bought off the baz for like $1k, the zerker was equalling my mage's dps who had good gear and a few thousand AA.
dunno about other casters but my mage...
Don't think it's that straightforward. That definitely becomes true somewhere along the line. For example,my SK and ENC on mischief can equip the earring of primal magic from VoA but it does not affect their summoned pets.
However there was an item that increased my SK pet's power at some...
I've been using Multiplicity sans broadcasting and havent been suspended. Should be fine as long as you don't broadcast. Get some cheap numpads.
I would just quit if I couldn't use Multiplicity. It's such a massive QoL improvement I can't go back to not using it.
@Rajaah were you the one complaining about tiny UI issues? Have you seen this reddit post?
I just messed around with that $7 Lossless Scaling program and it seems to work nicely. You can scale your EQ window without having to change your entire desktop resolution.
Yeah, DPG never announced or alluded to a merge (until this year). We all just got Mandela effect'ed because everyone assumed the servers would eventually merge. Which was a logical assumption to make given how the server announcements were rolled out - weeks apart, and only after the community...
Numbers suggest otherwise. A shitty game with a dumb setting managed almost a million concurrent players and cracked the top 5 on Twitch for a month. If an MMO can get almost a million people to try out roleplaying a conquistador (lol), I'd argue there's a viable market hungry for a game that...
So the spell that keeps your pet out of the fight longer is the cool, hip choice? That's 33% extra downtime on every recharm because you wanna play it safe.
Color skew (2sec) casts faster than the lvl 2 mez (2.5). PBAE stun is also way more versatile and worth having on your bar over a second...
Color skew (lvl 43) is the first 8sec stun you get IIRC. The stun duration for that spell line caps at 8 seconds afaik (still playing my enc on Mischief). No need to use the lvl 50+ kunark upgrade - all it does differently is drain 100 mana according to ZAM.
8 seconds covers your 6.5 second...
One of the best feelings in EQ is when you join a group with a maniac puller pushing the group to the brink.
Conversely, one of the worst feelings is when you arrive at camp and discover the puller is a meandering boomer dipshit who never chains and thinks he needs to FD split 3 mobs.
Absolutely. Whenever I come across an EQ post on the MMORPG subreddit, I swear half the posts are, "I'd play this if it weren't for ancient graphics/UI"
Sheesh. I hope that Faceless cameo is bait. The plan is to get RI to respond with someone you merely...don't have to google. Then Faceless flies in off the top rope with Alec Baldwin.
I was one of those clueless naive normies on Mangler, which was the first TLP I really got into. A guildie once mentioned how he could tell if something was up and even what weapon it was holding. He was like, "there are ways!" making it sound all mysterious. I figured it took leet haxor skillz...
Last June one of my mischief friends logged into a live server, used MQ2, and a week or two later his accounts caught a 1 week. I don't know what he used it for specifically.
Yes, SEQ is good for general awareness. Like knowing where Talendor is when you're farming in skyfire. Or to avoid being that retard who dies trying to get to the raid.
Ruin seems a bit over dramatic. Not like the classic content won't be there. Classic has already been shortened to a month (which seems to have near a 100% approval rating in the community) so a kunark launch does feel kind of inevitable.
I think you're in the minority. Bigger world, iksars...
You're right. I remember someone causing an AoC snafu on Aradune during Velious. We were planning to split Zlandicar or something. Guy accidentally requested the DZ while the raid was still combined and everyone got the 6.5 day replay lockout.
Per a quick google search, 30min replay timers were...
