The guy in charge of the project, Shawn Lord(who was an ex EQ dev) regularly streams him working on the game on Twitch. It's nothing really new that's being "shared" if you watch the streams at all. They try to be incredibly upfront and transparent about what they're doing in order to get...

Oh it's like this one!

If a game still has 50k subscribers split up into 2 servers, rather than 400k players being split into 16 servers then what's the real difference?

I don't think there will be a 15m+ subscriber MMO again, but I disagree that the era of the MMORPG is over. In fact, I think we'll see a lot more MMOs start to sprout up over the next 5 years, but they will be more niche games, with lower development costs, aimed a specific audience.

It's like if a Halfling went to Burning Man. I like it.

The memory of this happening so much still hurts :(

In terms of time I'd say they're comparable since you have to do both shards and Emp key, but I just wasn't willing to do VP keying due to the lack of quality loot.

I skipped VP keying, but I'm not excited about getting 18 VT keys for my guys on Rizlona.

Shawn(alovingrobot) talks about the guide/GM turnover a fair bit on his Twitch stream. They used to fire guides and GMs at the drop of a hat. He tells a story that one GM was getting reprimanded in front of others and another GM had a quick out loud laugh about it - they immediately fired the...

I thought LDoN group instancing was really good because it basically saved "pick up groups" in EQ. Sure you could get PUGs during PoP but grouping was becoming much more gear-centric. The nice part about LDoN was that it allowed people who were in PoTime to group with someone in just bazaar...

bro I dont need that aggro as a ranger

I just want a game that lets me put 2 lammys, a fungi and cowl of mortality on a lvl 1 ranger.

So I'm looking for something new to play until Velious opens on Rizlona - is this worth it right now, or is it too buggy being in early access?

This is one of my favorite encounters for so many reasons. It was different than most other fights, Emperor was a beast and that 4K DD was such a pain. The room was so cool to go inside and see for the first time. It took SO MUCH work to get a guild fully keyed for that encounter, and it felt...

While there were certainly more complex encounters than that, most of the time they could really just be broken down into independent groups doing their own thing. The Emperor Ssraeshza encounter is a good example. While there is more going on than just CH rot on the tank(and rune for the 4K...

Actually North Freeport is still in the game. IIRC the way to reach it is to get all 4 of the Human Heritage Crate teleportation items. You then get the 5th one that sends you to old N. Freeport. Prathun also alluded to it in a forum post a couple of years back.

I got the VGO emulator up and running. It's so cool to be able to just run around and explore.

Every time I come back to EQ it makes me realize how much of my brain is just storing old, pointless EQ knowledge from when I was a kid. No, I can't remember what you said on that conference call 20 minutes ago - but you better fucking believe I can run to Yelinak with my eyes closed.

And then it will break 2 months in and they'll just never fix it.

Watching this stream really shows that Visionary Realms is the Benjamin Button of game development.

I believe once they actually began development and went past a basic proof of concept it was around 3 years of development time. The entire team(devs, writers, animators, etc) was still pretty small but larger than Pantheon's by the end of development, however iirc it started with 4-5 developers...

That's what I have in most instances, there's a couple of cases to get some +strength just so that you aren't encumbered after only picking up a few pieces of things like fine steel. The base strength for most Paladin races is super low, and wearing plate makes it rough to have weight < strength...

Ear - Pearly Sarnak Bauble Ear - Black Sapphire Electrum Earring Helm - Deepwater Helm Face - Sebilite Scale Mask Neck - Imperial Wardog Collar Finger - Platinum Fire Wedding Ring Finger - Djarn's Amethyst Ring Wrist - Deepwater Bracer Wrist - Dragon Hero Bracer Arms - Deepwater Vambraces Hands...

I've seen 1 so far, think they were in Isekai.

Rak`Ashir definitely seems like that's not too much difficulty if you get casters out of range now that I think about it. Fay is pretty impressive with 1 group. I use 2 groups and I had trouble, but then again I didn't really prep for the AE/fear and just kinda tried to burn him down ASAP :)

Rogue - Super easy. There are a couple of mobs(or just 1?) that you turn stuff into that despawn after turn in and are on 6 hour spawn timers, so there can be a slight bottleneck. The only "fights" are Phinny and the one in Kithicor and they're simple. Shaman - It's a bunch of running around...

Does anyone on Riz want any decent gear from classic/chardok/kc? I've got a ton of stuff I'm not gonna use and isn't worth spending my time selling in tunnel, but with most of the pop being boxers I'm actually having trouble giving it away!

Per dreamweaver - bonus xp should be turned back on.

Although I do find it slightly heartwarming that every reply from someone not in TEB is essentially "no one cares".

Around 2kr right now, but they're still dropping.

"Come see the 200 sq ft of playable area that actually looks enjoyable!" It's becoming real hard to not be cynical about this game at this point.

Someone's clearly never experienced Envenomed Bolt x2 in classic.

Does it come with one of those 40 slot bags? If so I'm in.
