    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Found a mob I'd never encountered today while I was farming bandit sashes for plat.

    My bad, I didn’t do The Hole because we knew it wouldn’t be open on launch. I recommend it over any other zone 45+ though because it’s got the highest average mob levels available.

    People keep saying that the slow loading times are because they removed the queue or increased the server population cap, but I have casually monitored server pop via General Chat populations since launch and it was much higher the first few days. I know this is not a perfect system as some...

    Solo Paladin catching that 17ac 5str 5sta Mintoaur Ribcage. Feels good.

    When I led raids I found the biggest issue was people don't understand buff management. I'd /inspectbuffs and find people with all kinds of retarded shit wrong if they were a monk outside the top 10 on a parse especially.

    Yeah for some reason the forums really want to change it to a media link rather than just allowing the link to sit there for people to click.

    Thanks! It's been a lot of fun doing this run so far. I'll have to get a new weapon soon because my DPS sucks.

    I started a new character with the following self imposed rules: Permadeath: any death not due to intentional training or griefing retires the character. Solo: No grouping 1-50. Self-Found: All items acquired must be camped, crafted or quested by me alone. Any vendor items purchased must be...

    They actually buffed the group bonus recently, it might be one of the biggest factors in the easier grind.

    It would be great to see them beef up the ZEM in unpopular zones like CT, Paw, Gorge of King Xorbb, HHP/HHK, East Karana, Perma etc. So many awesome zones that are mostly empty.

    I did Classic-Kunark on Vulak in 2011, then I did Classic - Underfoot on Test server in 2012-2014 and every summer that guild would go back and redo Classic - PoP. After that I did Classic-Kunark on Lockjaw (six months per expansion on that one), then I did Classic - Luclin on Agnarr, and I did...

    I'm down to go into all the details. Agnarr we were Cleric, Ench, Nec, Mage, Mage, SK and we did the following exp route: 1-6 Nektulous 7-10 Lavastorm 11-25 Uguk 25-44 Lguk 45-50 OOT Goblins The time is slightly skewed on that /played because of a few factors. One was the login queue, I got to...

    It's been a lot of fun watching the streamers on this server so far. The last time I did a classic launch in 2017 and even though the game is 21 years old now it's awesome to see that the "meta" is still advancing every cycle of TLPs. Everything is faster, still some cool new techs being learned...

    It's pretty surprising to see Aradune take down the dragons before Rizlona. Funny enough Phinny is up on Aradune and dead on Rizlona.

    Funny note, the queue was created in one day by Jchan who is now the lead producer of EQ. She did it back when Ragefire was having overpopulation issues.

    Back in like 2016 Holly worked out a deal with EQMule to ensure that versions of MQ2 which originate from him wouldn't work on Truebox servers. So the kind of MQ2 99% of people use just won't operate on them. If you're someone who just NEEDS to cheat though you can create (or acquire) a bespoke...

    Yeah, seeing Rizlona makes me appreciate truebox because it makes it so clear how well they were able to contain MQ2. On most servers I’ve seen a handful of people with a working compile, but Riz shows how crazy it would be if they didn’t try to block it at all. Watch, someone will probably go...

    You can always play on Rizlona if you enjoy bots and macroquest. If you want a good laugh log in and go to Qeynos docks. 24/7 scripted crews running back and forth doing the bard quests for cash.

    Once you click okay you are able to just wait. It won’t time you out of the server select screen unless Aradune crashes or login servers go down. I am not sure if clicking okay makes it take longer or not. I have heard conflicting theories.

    It's hard to say, I feel like Rampage and That's EQ Baby will both have the numbers to start raids 24 hours from now. The leveling is going really fast on these servers.

    This part really fucked us. We had multiple times where we'd have a person crash while zoning and take 2-4 hours to get back in. When we zoned into Solb we lost half the group and had to 3 man kobolds for several hours like idiots. We originally planned to do 31-41 in Lguk but when we hit the...

    I think it might not count time spent zoning etc for "play" time whereas session time is your total time logged in. Just played on Aradune to grind to 50 w/some friends. Now that we're all done, time to close the book.

    FWIW the top live guild is the original top TLP guild. Once they reached live they’ve been the first guild to clear basically (maybe literally?) every expansion since.

    The first few TLPs we didn't have pickzones and it was fine. The big issue was newbie zone content because you have thousands of players packing into like 5 zones all at once. They did picks just for those at first (North Qeynos, WFP, Nektulous etc) and it worked very well. Slippery slope...

    TLP raids are far harder than P99 raids, that's for sure. Classic TLP raid buffs: 1. Mobs have 4x the HP of original classic. This is closer to Velious mob HP than it is to original classic. 2. They mitigate 60% of all incoming damage (This is calculated after AC etc). 3. Being within like 200...
