He was replying to a person claiming "necro dots apply full dot to damage done immediately" Which then started a ton of people trying to tell him that DoT's count as full dmg to kill credit upon landing. He even gave an example of "so say a dot has 5 ticks doing 100 dmg each it is counting as...

Unless a bug has happened on Mischief onwards regarding dots, I don't think you know how dot's work in dps races either. This has been such a big misconception ever since the poison DoT line got reworked that dramatically increased its damage. People been saying this "dot's count as full damage...

If he's going full Atabishi like you say, then Legacy will undoubtedly be an incredibly successful TLP guild.

Nah wasn't cohh. The person I'm thinking of I think hadn't been streaming for very long when I first saw him streaming ragefire. He only streamed it a few days and then I never saw him stream eq again.

Before coming to the TLP's I hadn't played eq since 2001, funny enough i learned about the eq tlp's from clicking on a random twitch stream of a guy streaming EQ on the ragefire server launch. I had no clue EQ even still existed. He only had a few viewers. Can't remember his name off top of my...

That's what people were posting, but I'm not 100% sure on it. I haven't played on EQ2 in a few years and don't remember how that even worked. Even if they decided /yell will do unlock and still give exp/loot, I still think the fact that OW will be a single player game is enough to dissuade many...

It's not been guaranteed yet to my knownledge that /yell will render exp/loot, although I haven't kept up to date on any thing they've posted outside the FAQ. My assumption is that it would based on the other part of the FAQ mentioning race, but as someone pointed out EQ2 has the same unlock...

To be fair, there's many reasons why there is no incentive to run an OW guild at all with that servers current ruleset, so I wouldn't blame Mabbu for opting out of doing it. 1. One thing that's generally true for the top OW guild and something that makes things a lot faster is the fact that you...

Yeah it wasn't Dima's first attempt at trying to make it to live on a TLP. He learned from his past mistakes on other servers, especially Fippy, for what it actually took to make it all the way to the end.

The majority of boxers just autojoin out of laziness, but the mass botters doing it intentionally is a fact. It has been noticed on several servers especially in the early eras of a server. Why they do it is left up to much conspiracy and I've never seen definitive proof of the answer. One...

Eden is the current main one but it's on the massive decline. Not really worth starting there now unless you are trying to get back in the swing of things. It's already seeing realm populations drop under 100 at some hours and it has a heavy PVE focus which could prove to be challenging with...

Lol logged back in real quick just to respond to this because it was so insane, but going to be my last one, gotta go. You didn't think that response through did you? You gotta love the irony when someone calls someone else retarded in a post, yet fails to realize how retarded their own post...

See ya guys next TLP announcement for more forum fun :P #freetopg

Ahh ok cool. Enjoy your songkran, I'm sure it will be fun where you are going.

I can't objectively agree that phinny was the peak for server firsts as much as I would want it to be. Phinny was only 2 guilds racing, and the expansion racing didn't start until Luclin. Tmk OGC didn't race classic or kunark, and the only racing they did in velious was to try and get in to ST...

Yeah OGC vs AOS was definitely the best 2 guild rivalry out of the modern TLP's, at least in terms of the expansion racing and just normal every day interactions between OGC and AOS members. I can't really think of many more. I don't know if I would put Selos up there since it was so short...

You couldn't be more wrong. I've only ever claimed Aradune was the most populated due to covid lockdowns and was the king of OW racing in terms of modern day tlp servers, which isn't really something I even have to argue, it's undeniable. It was not the king of expansion racing, I would have to...

Only zaide would have the reading comprehension of a 3 year old and take me saying "there were less mass boxers than other servers" and then post a mass boxer on aradune as some sort of gotcha lol. Big yikes. Learn to read. Let me rewrite it maybe more clear so you can hopefully understand this...

Phinny had very little boxing until PoP. As a 6 boxer myself on there since velious, it was rare to ever see another 6 boxer prior to PoP. It was mostly just people 2 boxing. PoP is around the time the VM workaround went public. Agnarr the boxing increased significantly compared to Phinny...

I'd love to hear your explanation of why what I said is a lie or retarded. Historically speaking, (outside of phinny since there was only a couple guilds on there that didn't post on kill sites) more than 30-35% of raiding guilds do not report to kill sites. The % goes up the more guilds that...

It's not the same. Like I said, all general chat is a good indication for is the amount of boxers are on a server, which can highly fluctuate depending on the server and it's ruleset. Some servers have tons of mass boxers, some don't. Some servers have had little boxing and some have had a ton...

I saw the internal population leak. Even if it's true, not sure what if anything that it proves? It's population numbers based on aradune after little over 2 years, mischief after little over a year, and yeli after a couple months i think? What does that prove? lol to me the most shocking part...

Wait, are you literally taking kills site numbers on guilds to try and prove something but then also same time negating that kills sites had mischief peaking at 14 guilds classic-pop? LOL I mean if you are going to use kill site numbers that is just based on voluntary information, then you also...

Several I'm sure. I actually haven't had one in 2 years unfortunately, miss em.

Yes, real. I'm mostly bored between 8:30 am to 4:30 pm my time (11 hours ahead of EST) every week day while sitting in a room listening to someone talk for hours. I had been just reading the TIL subreddit to pass time, but ever since the server announcement, reading and posting on the forums has...

Everything I've seen people post so far on here or the EQ forums is already doable via other methods though, however FTE would make it more "dummy" proof and allow less coordinated guilds to abuse and bypass things. Don't think I've seen anything posted yet in terms of bypassing trash that isn't...

That's F T E Baby (tm)

Yeah there is a lot of different things you could do like that when it comes to that type of server. It also wouldn't have to be true-box. If you wanted to progress through all the expansions with just a small group of friends running an entire raid, it's not going to really have a negative...

I always wished they would have done a self-paced progression server where guilds progress at their own rate. All expansions are open upon launch but in order to access the next expansion your guild had to be flagged for it by fully completing the previous one. If you were in a guild when they...

Eh I mean the gaming industry sees a quarter of a trillion in revenue a year, they're obviously competent enough to make money. As much shit as people give DBG, they did give us TLP's and create a proof of concept that other games have followed/starting to follow in terms of releasing official...

I would assume the first data point only takes in to consideration people who are max level, ie how long your average max lvl player stays sub'd who leveled their own char vs how long a max lvl player stays sub'd who bought their account/got plvl'd. Now how they would even track that would be up...

I'm a TLP guy. I don't know anything about how new expansions work since the last time I played live was FV like 6-7 years ago. They said this new server was to test stuff that could be implemented to live. So far, we don't know exactly which part of this server ruleset is what they are...

Yeah that's why I said i wonder how much of the data behind plvl'ing/buying accounts that MMORPG dev's talk about is even relevant to EQ TLP's and the way the cycles work. Like I said, I've always thought that plvl'ing was a good thing on the TLP's, but also this FTE thing might have absolutely...

There is actually quite a bit of data on this that MMORPG's have collected over the last couple decades. Many MMORPG developers have discussed this in interviews/faq's and there is even interviews with former EQ devs who have talked about this. Their data has always shown that both plvl'ing and...

I don't really remember any zerg wars on phinny. Are you referring to OGC vs AoS? OGC only contested OW spawns during the expansion race, and even then it was rare. There was like maybe 3-4 total DPS races on expansion launches between OGC and AOS classic-pop. They weren't really zerg wars...

By EQ TLP standards, all EQ2 TLP's are flops and population dies out fast regardless of ruleset. EQ2 in general doesn't have a large population but most players they do have play live, not TLP. I've played EQ2 TLP's almost as long as I have EQ TLP's, and even on day 1 launches they feel dead...
