    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I really think that had a great thing going with Varsoon's. Multiple instances of a lot of zones even still but honestly I think they should have opened Splitpaw and Bloodlines probably with Vanilla or a matter of a couple of weeks into it. I also think KoS should have been much quicker than...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    How are you accessing Prestige Homes? May be a silly question but can you get to any of them or only ones within available zones? I was thinking about getting the Felwithe Mansion but was afraid there would be some catch to that since guild halls are not available yet....

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I just happened to see some in-game content rewards through Prime Gaming and loaded it up. I may have popped it open less than 5 times since 2016 but quite surprised how the game has progressed. It's unfortunate that at the time the wave came much quicker than they could grasp but they have...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    We are having a great time but half our guild are suckers for EQ2 and the other had never played it. We've been ultra casual thus far with most of us low 40's / upper 30's. I really hate they are making the expansion unlocks so long though. As casual as we are, DoF coming out September (I...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    We had a blast last night. Several folks had said it felt good to play this type of MMO again. EQ2 is a nice balanced of old school and new things. I'm definitely going to take my time with this since the unlock is so long but I do wish Rise of Kunark was a bit quicker. I think when Wraith...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I feel like everyone begins converging probably in the 30's. It's not until to see folks in the 20's though. I never felt like it was a big deal on PvP servers to get to other zones like the Caves earlier on and Thundering Steppes. I think most people keep their head down and plow through...

    What time do the servers typically open for EQ2 TLPs?

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I wish I could remember raiding in EQ2. I remember having a good time but I have done so much WoW raiding over the years I'm just out of mental space. Our WoW guild really surprised me and said they wanted to try this. A lot of them missed EQ2 due to WoW but i've always been a sucker for the...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I loved the Willowwood.... I can still hear the Elf dude saying that. EQ2 had some really memorable pieces. It's a shame they missed the mark early, had a few good years during WoW's peak, and then fell off like a lead balloon. I really wish they could have address some of their core issues...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I really wish that Wraith Classic would have posted a summer release but everything I'm reading is leaning towards Oct./Nov..... I'm not sure if those are just good guesses or the pattern as I haven't been a big Classic follower but I know our guild is planning on shifting to Wraith Classic...

    Lost Ark Online

    Our guild made it to mid to upper 20's and we are having a blast thus far. Very refreshing. Most of us had dabbled prior to the NA release so it was surprising to see just how many folks came over and really had a great time. It felt like a MMO launch of old without sitting in a chat or...

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    I always like and appreciated the direction of the books. I felt like the readers had an opportunity to "grow up" with the characters. They were dealing with issues that everyone deals with as they grow up in addition to the fact an incredible evil force was attempting to destroy everything...

    Everquest II

    I don't know why I always hope this game gets something that would actually bring me back but it never quite does. I'm sucker for this game too but they have never addressed the core issues of the game and that's frustrating. Still the best AH and housing in any MMO. I liked tradeskilling...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is probably over-generalizing but honestly don't think this is the best thing for WoW. MMO's have shown that not just anyone can make or understand them. Suits and big money people focus on the wrong aspects of the game. Typically the best MMO's have been driven by folks working on...

    Eternals (2021)

    I just finished it and really liked it. I see the complaints and honestly believe it should have been shorter or something to help with pacing. It felt like it should have been bigger but wasn't. It simply just isn't as good as other Marvel movies and that's ok. It just unfortunate it didn't...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think this is 100% spot on. It's really what the roots of the genre was founded upon. It took that D&D fellowship and sense of adventure and brought it to life. Stories that were in the player's hands and evolved as players made decisions. The personalities of the NPCs were not the focus...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That's extremely helpful. I think that's what initially attracted me to GW2 was what appeared to be the ease of getting into. I just can't see what our core friend group, which is our WoW guild, would really get into the easiest. We have probably two groups, semi-casual but lean towards the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Just curious but friends looking to kick around on a MMO for the new year and how would you compare Guild Wars 2 vs Elder Scrolls? Not sure who has the better thing for them into the new year but I've heard good things about both recently. Amazing how many MMO nomads we have with the...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Some friends and I recently spun up a new server with Valheim plus to scratch an itch and then saw this posted.... I don't put a lot of stock into PC Gamer but good for them all the same. Game of the Year - Valheim I hope they are able to get some updates out soon as I really enjoyed this...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    Just finished up and loved it! I thought every actor gave their best performance. I thought Dafoe for the amount of screen time was extremely good. Nearly felt like a Joker-esque performance. Looking forward to the payoffs from this film. Nothing felt forced which was my fear. Fairly well...

    What kills multiplayer games

    For me its the lack of the new for the "Massive" aspect of MMO. You have different goals now than back in the day of EQ so the desire to explore, dungeon crawl, etc. has somewhat shifted to other desires. I feel like every MMO is essentially no different than Diablo. I know a handful of...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    How has the new expansion been thus far? I haven't heard much other than it was a fairly short which seems to be the case with all of their recent expansions. Not sure there was any reason to expect much but was curious.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

    I have enjoyed the series but just feel it has been a lot of missed opportunities. There is a lot of good stuff but is also filled has numerous frustrating pieces to each film. I felt very similar to the Hobbit movies but I think Peter Jackson did a worse job avoiding stupid decisions that...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I've always really enjoyed classic as well. While I didn't like the idea of instancing at first, it's a nice QoL since it's not like a group gets their own private instance with all the camps, I personally really enjoy splitting camps and seeing groups roll through dungeons. That is one thing...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I purchased the Orbi mesh system about a year ago and have really enjoyed it but my parents are not quite looking to spend the money I did but when you look at the mid range systems, it’s about 50-50 on the reviews.. Dad still plays MMOs and Mom just a casual browser but the have a rather long...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Anyone have a guild recommendation on a live server? Semi-casual but looking to hang with some folks and potentially try the new expansion? Any thoughts on the new expansion? I’ve been doing TLPs so I haven’t even looked at their last probably 5 expansions…. Maybe more.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Me and couple of RL friends looking to knock around on Live. Outside of some TLP's, I haven't played Live in a really... really. long time. Might be fun to kick around with the boost and leading up to the expansion. I've always played a Cleric and Enchanter, I would like something rather low...

    New Amazon/Daybreak MMO

    I wouldn't be upset if the EQ IP went somewhere else whatever the agreement may be but from what I'm seeing or reading at this point is that Amazon is making a new MMO with people that have experienced with the Daybreak franchises. Looks more like an advertisement angle than actually anything...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I have never liked LDON. To me that's when thing slowly went to down hill and then the game jumped off the cliff around OoW.

    PoP is my favorite expansion actually.... not sure if that' a popular or unpopular opinion anymore but that's actually a plus for me.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    With FF14 delayed and our WoW guild taking a break until further notice, i’m thinking about playing EQ for the next couple months to just kick around but have no idea where to even begin. The most fun I had since release was raiding with Faceless on Agnarr but assuming Agnarr is a ghost town...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, I don't think this helps and it will just assist in the continuing of the game's decline but I'm not think this causes any type of mass exodus. I'm sure it doesn't help and may push a few folks on the fence but they're already riding a negative trend. Our guild essentially said they...

    New World

    I feel like New World is still suffering from an identity crisis. WAR and Rift suffered from this as well. I worry that ultimately New World will suffer a similar fate it's just the MMO community has greater opportunity to be exposed to games earlier and more platforms to be more vocal...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Probably not as much as I feel. 7 just gets the fanboy talk so much. Then you get 6, 4, 10, and then all the complaints of whatever the latest emo boy dress up FF they release. Lol

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe (probably) unpopular opinion... EQ2 had some of the best housing and tradskilling (furniture). Once Nagafen died, leaving my house and everything was the next worst part. Also, FF4 and 6 were my favorites but don't sleep on 9. It was solid. It gets lost in FF conversations.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've always thought 4 was better than 6. As a kid we got 2 and then 3 for the SNES so FF2(4) was my first. I've always liked 4's characters and story but then 6 added some features and then took the villain character to the next level so I see why people credit it to being the best.
