    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    My concern is that people are going to burn themselves right the fuck out leveling and maintaining several copies of the same character to do extra raids in Velious and Luclin so they can be extra more bis than they've ever bissed before and then just be done forever. Anyone left is going to get...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'd not be happy having my character nuked by a fat troll but for people that actually care about HC this isn't a bad thing. Everyone's talking about this and it will get more people playing. It might sound stupid but in this case any press really is good press.

    The Video Thread

    The only thing that I can think of is a fit person might want it as a means to achieve total muscle fatigue? You do your regular pull ups until you can't do any more and then you start busting out the straps until your arms don't work.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    When the server has native bonus exp, native bonus AA exp, native bonus loot and you've got a couple max level characters in your stable providing more bonus exp while you're doing bonus DZs of the most premium targets of whatever era you are in it'll probably be pretty cool. Right now it's a...

    Phinny was popular with a new mechanic (raid instancing) and they did a copy/paste of it to create Coirnav.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    They've made advancements in the past. Sleeper/Combine were neat, Phinny was the first introduction of raid instancing, people like Mischief, Vaniki was interesting, etc. Oakwynd is underwhelming now but it might come in to its own once a few expansions are unlocked. Probably not but maybe!

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I would think the idea with Oakwynd was to have some small perks early and then ramp them up to encourage retention but there have been enough TLPs now that you really need a twist at the start.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I bitched about it before but everything being heirloom encourages everyone to be greedy as possible and scoop up everything they can "just in case." It's annoying as fuck. Free trade is just better. Everything has a price, gear can freely change hands, turn what you don't need in to things you...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The "hook" for classic on this server is an experience boost for leveling multiple characters, the ability to move gear around between them and DZ lockouts by character instead of by account. All of those perks are the same thing - you can do more classic content more times. Every level 50 you...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    If there's a convenient spell you can consistently land on them they could be better but guards are generally more resistant than normal mobs. For Shaman it's probably better to do Hill Giants but maybe not. You'd have to check.

    Wonka (2023)

    The bit with the Oompa Loompa was cute but everything about this rings hollow. It wants to be whimsical but is instead spurious. I don't think CGI helps attempts at live action fairy tales in the slightest. It doesn't look fantastical. It looks cheap.

    Somewhere post-Aradune they giga nerfed them. If you were just grinding cash the exp was bad but there was exp. Now they're a tiny fraction of a percent each. I don't remember any patch notes announcing it and it's hard to imagine a situation where it would have been necessary but who knows...

    The guards at the gates or that otherwise guard newbie areas are all buffed and not something that makes even a lick of sense to interact with unless you want to die. General town guards tend to be fairly resistant but not absurdly so. If you're inside Felwithe they're all killable but trying...

    They're heirloom. You can move them between your characters. The click at level one only lasts like a minute or two which is kinda funny. It scales up quickly though.

    I like the fighting stuff (the actual descriptions of combat) much less than the character stuff so this one wasn't my favorite. It was like 2/3rds of the way before there was some character development that wasn't power level related but I did like the last third quite a bit. At a time when...

    All of these properties need to lie fallow for half a century so the young George Lucases and Steven Spielbergos of the world can have a shot at making their own marks. The fucking gravity of these mega properties warps everything around them.

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Indiana Jones was a fine reconstruction of the adventure serials of George Lucas's youth. Doing something new with the franchise by dipping in to the 1950s science fiction genre could have been interesting.

    I don't know what it's like on Aradune but Oakwynd has a fucking army of P99 players that still somehow have never played on a TLP before. For them the game is different enough for it to all be a new experience.
