Looking at the old websites, Phinny actually still maintained 22 active raiding guilds clearing PoTime even when Agnarr had launched and was fielding 17 of its own raiding guilds. EQ Progression as a whole during 2016-2018 had an incredibly healthy population. There was a moment in time where...

The craziest thing about the massive Phinny population was that it was that large even while RF and LJ maintained a few hundred additional players a piece. It may have been the high water mark for TLP as a whole. I believe I recall DBG saying Phinigel was their most popular server ever, and...

Not sure if you played on Phinny but they had 22 raiding guilds during Luclin. 21 of them cleared VT in era.

FTE = First to Engage. I've seen the term floating around some TLP / P99 stuff. MDD I've only ever seen in the context of Pantheon discussion. EQ players would call MDD a DPS Race instead.

Doesn’t Joppa answer this question in the Dev round table you linked? I believe he says MDD for the majority of content, FTE for raid content. Am I missing something?

It's all good, by internet standards this is just giving people shit, can't take it personally. I can agree with this for sure. I feel like over the last year they haven't shown us much of anything for progress. On their last interview they said they were going to be showing off new...

No one is saying it's done. I don't think it's going to be done for years. But the core gameplay is there. Every class planned for launch has been seen. It's not core features that appear to be absent it's quantity of content, animations, art assets. This is how "Core Mechanics" are defined in...

In May of 2018 their CM stated they had about 1,000 people in Pre-Alpha testing. I can’t control whether or not people believe that number, but in any event it’s safe to assume the number of Pre-Alpha tier backers has only grown in the ensuing 21 months.

I get it, you can never trust a company completely because it's always in their best interest to oversell a product, and I am not here advocating that any of you (us?) start tossing money at them, but what I am saying is that the core gameplay of Pantheon is demonstrably done and has been...

What does this even mean? What do you consider "core", how does one hobble mechanics together with "crazy glue code", what insight have you had into the codebase of Pantheon vs other major MMO's who do not "hobble together" their mechanics?

There is no way the game is almost ready imho. The core game is mostly done (I think) but I think it's going to take them a long time to produce enough content (i.e.zones, dungeons, quests, raids) to release.

The core of the game is done dude, you can see pretty much exactly what gameplay looks like on any of their streams and it has changed very little in the last two years. The stuff we see them working on now is primarily additional content, new zones, enemies, quests etc. If you just wanted a...

Has to be close to zero chance this actually happens.

Right on queue:

Kind of surprising that this game is only 2.5 months away and we haven’t seen more gameplay or another trailer. By this point RE2 had a ton of trailers and even extended gameplay segments revealed.

Not sure what the deal is w/ unity multiplayer and how it's impacted Pantheon. A while back they did a stream which was during a live testing session (open to those with the appropriate backing tiers) where there was (I believe) in the range of 120 people online between 3 zones. Unfortunately I...

They’ve shown the following zones on stream or in videos on YouTube. Thronefast Avendyrs Pass Black Rose Keep Wilds End Halnir Cave Tower of the Reckless Magician South Saol Amberfaet There are two zones we know of from dev diaries / newsletters which have not been shown as well. The zones...

I thought we all called it the tranny site??

Some people were discussing whether it was a Tyrant (Mr. X style) or Nemesis chasing Jill in the trailer. I fucked with the lighting in some screenshots of the trailer to try to get a better look. Seems like they straight up didn’t populate his head in the trailer so we couldn’t check him out...

I never got into RE4 and don’t really understand why it’s so loved. It always seemed to me like it was the beginning of the turn to action focused gameplay and really nonsense plot that became the core of 5 and 6 and kind of ruined the series for many years. Am I being unfair here? 1-3 were...

@Elidroth Have you seen that the old Aradune is Stinky grafiti was marked over on the official EQ servers? Now it says Elidroth is Stinky.

I just didn't respond to your PM because I had already answered your question in the old Amtrak thread where I listed all the active Selo guilds for you. Glad you joined, and hope you enjoy the server, you're joining at a good time.

Amtrak no longer exists, if you're looking for guilds on Selo I think you're options are Major, Rusty Short Sword, Circulus Interium (sp), Modus Gelidus (old content) and Faceless.

Rest in peace Aradune

Feels good to add Selo to the list of server wins before Pantheon launch. Hopefully it *actually* launches, and before we add too many more to the list.

PoR done. TSS drops on December 4th, at which point we'll unlock level 75 and our exp rate will be faster than live.

Good times in Prophecy of Ro so far.

Just don’t box whole groups? Most expansions after PoP are superior to PoP. If anything some of them need to be tuned up, Anguish is just free loot these days.

The last time I participated in a "GM Event" it was actually @Elidroth doing it. It wasn't like the old style live quest events but it was cool to have him roll into PoFear during a poopsock in 2011 and start turning everyone into famous raid and dungeon mobs. I think we had people running...

Sorry about that. You should def come place a Beastlord w/ us though.

Thanks bro! TBH I think PoR will be alright for one month, any longer would really suck though. In other news, offering free PL to any new or old pals who care to come main a Beastlord, Shaman or Cleric.

POR launches next week, it's the perfect time to come catch up. Especially if you want to play a Shaman, Beastlord or Cleric.

The problem with LJ/RF is that cheating software became so accessible and mainstream that it felt like most people were mass boxing rather than a few exceptions. We had tons of fun 12-20 boxers and then ended up with two guys like 100 boxing. It was retarded.

It sounds like you just need to join a guild. I see people LFG, forming group, running tasks and even clearing raid content at all hours but the vast majority of that is confined to guild chat. Afaik your guild options are Faceless, Rusty, Major, Circulus, Reversion and Modus Gelidus. I still...

Long time no see pals. Finally back and looking forward to doing a real expansion launch from the free world.

Fingers crossed I guess.

The genre is dead. Seems like most "upcoming" mmo's are in a similar situation. Crowfall, Camelot Unchained, Ashes of Creation, Star Citizen, Chronicles of Elyria, who knows if any of them will be fully realized.

On the last classic TLP they removed focus effects, which are now gated to appropriate eras. They've also slowly been removing any remaining out of era items with each iteration. I think before Coirnav they removed the Blackened Alloy gear from RE for example, a server or two before they they...

Do you have a plan to deal with the reemergence of MacroQuest and other "cheating" software on TLP servers? Are you even aware that this software has become more and more common on TLP's over the past two years?

I'm not toally cut off from the internet or anything. The fact is that when you lose in EQ it doesn't matter where, when, why or how you lost. Right now is the time for the winners to gloat, and for me to sit down, shut up, get shit on for a while and hopefully come back harder next time...
