Last I checked FFXIV was doing pretty well. You really didn't know that? Some people claim it has more subs than WoW. I don't think anyone seriously believes that but it does have millions of paying subscribers and is extremely successful.

I read this thread because WoW is the Facebook of the mmo world. But that doesn't mean I like WoW. I've tried to like it, many, many times. But just don't get it. I don't dump on WoW anymore. I assume WoW is a good game because so many people like it. But it's actual fun factor for me is a...

It will be like every other mmo release. The herd that travels to all the new mmos will be there for the first month ir so, then most of them will go back to WoW. Pantheon's long term success will be based on player retention and if the game keeps people logging in it will evolve into another...

Lol, modern EQ has become "War of the Krono Sellers". How boring.

Yep. Quit EQ after hitting max level in Velious. Was raiding with the top guild on the server, but back then without that "ding" sound to look forward to I kind of lost interest. Then AA's came out and I was hooked again. But that was then. Was still young enough to not care about massive...

Charge backs are fine as long as you don't abuse the process. What a CC company considers abuse I don't know.

Yep, but it's not just this game. As for boxers, didn't have many issues with them. Spent most of my early years in EQ just with one account and eventually knew most of the boxers on the server. They were cool for the most part, just playing the game the way they wanted. Same thing with all the...

Busted!

Updated barb fem is pretty hot. Usually have that one on.

/shrug The PoP thing doesn't really matter to me, can't speak for the others. This thread is what got me rolling down memory lane, and the timing seemed right. The decade away helps put EQ in proper perspective. I've played a ton of mmo's since eq and some of them are fun but there are a lot of...

Had a lot of fun last night. The epic server fubar and all the salty tears were just like old times. Nostalgia overload, loved it. Didn't get much done in game. Made a bunch of name holder tunes, messed with my keys on my box system. Noticed one of my name holder toons was in Qeynos, where my...

Yes. It's a long wait though. My 1 minute queue was closer to 10 or 15 in real time.

My box is in now too. Just hit ok and wait....

Hit ok at one minute queue and read the salt forums. Looked over and I"M IN!

How long is an Everquest minute?

max capacity. wait time 1 min

"The mage bots have already killed Naggy" Lol, mining chuckles from the salt while playing Queue Wars.

Woot just got home. QUEUES. Lol.

Probably the influx of tens of players for the new server, TENS!, overloaded it.

Yep. During my EQ days only played a SK and did that for years. Boxed a sham during the last year but my foot was already out the door. That was a decade ago. Since then I've become a mmo altaholic and a filthy casual. If I stick with this server then the 12 weeks is pretty good. Will give me a...

Loved the drama when Tholuxe and Bertox merged. Good times.

DKP is the devil. Merit with priority for the main raid tanks is the way to go. Requires a very tight group and a leader who everyone trusts though. That was tough to find even during classic, probably next to impossible now.

Great guy. He will be missed by people with jobs.

Low level zones on Ragefire aren't empty anymore. They were a few weeks ago. People getting ready I guess. I'm thinking Agnarr might break the internet.

Been playing on one of the EQ TLP servers lately, starting from scratch. It's been 10 years or so since I played EQ. Took me a bit to get use to dying all the time. EQ is easy, unless you forget about pathing, trains and just about everything else that modern QOL mmo's have eliminated. Being...

Sk, troll or ogre. Picked up a surface pro 4. If it works for eq without too many headaches then i'll probably box a de cleric.

There is a post on the EQ forums by someone who has the Surface Pro 4 with i5 and 8gb. HD graphics 520. He runs 2 instances of EQ on it. Augur, one of the devs has a surface pro and likes it. Not sure how 515 stacks up to 520.

MMO's are bringing in billions of dollars world wide, and the industry keeps growing. A big portion of that growth is in asia (China). The amount of options for modern gamers is staggering though. It isn't just WoW and a couple of others. With so many options, big whales like WoW are probably...

Thanks for that. Deposit placed. Good luck.

Most Raider fans support the team no matter where they go. The boycott is a nothing burger.

Lifetime Raiders fan, live in San Diego now. Raider fans have been through this rodeo before (Los Angeles 80s - 90s). We travel well. Moving to Vegas sucks for Oakland, and most of us wish they could stay there but we are a loyal bunch. Vegas works. As for building stadiums in California, it...

Damn this thread.. Going to check out one of the other current progression servers and see if the nostalgia is strong enough. Most likely wont be able to join the sock groups. Work, etc isn't that forgiving. Troll (master race) sk.

I don't know what Brad's vision is, haven't even looked it up. But if they go for the sub model and just reskin EQ with modern graphics and ui improvements that would be a winner... imho. Not a new opinion, but so what? The classic EQ servers seem to be very popular even now. Updating the...

GoD was tough even on the bleeding edge at the time. And there were a ton of complaints, but every expansion had issues. PoP is the expansion that was the beginning of end for our guild. We moved to FFXI for 6 months or so and let other guilds take over the server. Then came back and crushed...

Don't read the official forums. But if you mean DRAMA then that is a big portion of what made old EQ great, the flames forums.

Zero Hedge: Mass Effect: Andromeda - Sucky Animations, Bigoted Designer And Fugly Females Result In Canceled Pre-Orders "Gamers want Ivanka, yet BioWare is giving them Chelsea..."

Very tempting. I miss fd.

Black Desert and the other Asian grinders prove there is a market for longer games. And EQ was a huge grind. If Pantheon goes that route, that's fine. Never have the kind of time to be competetive again, but EQ was great for casuals too. The group game dungeon crawls in open zones were a lot of...

Luclin had a lot of cool things about it. AA was a big deal and brought a lot of players back. But one of the downsides of Luclin was the intense key farming at the end game. Before Luclin on our server we had a bunch of guilds that competed at the top end, cock blocking and all that. I loved...
