12k on servers seems a bit high. if shawn reads this, reach out if you want, i can offer a primary and colo datacenter services for server hosting. not sure what you do, but those costs look like by compute and or egress. a lot of smaller private cloud data centers will just do flat costs and i...

honestly i just dont believe them ever releasing the UE5 client. imo it's a fraud... they've simply loaded wow assets in UE5 and dropped in some default cams/controls. none of their videos (year+ since announcement) have gameplay footage. the screenshots they show with no UI elements look...

look at the poors linking android only apps

isnt twow in the middle of trying to add a UE5 client wrapper on top of the official client they use? maybe blizzy wants that

I think the majority of people here can recognize time sinks quickly; maybe it's a trait of someone playing early MMOs. However, think about the people who'll spend 1,000+ hours just chopping down trees and smashing rocks on a survival game.

idk about all that other stuff you're saying but i played on a classless server made by secrets prior to THJ existing. i would say yes, THJ's 3 class system is a direct copy of the classless idea - most likely uses the same type of client mod strategies (aka everyone is a bard).

its so weird too because all they had to do was make the f9x2 camera lock on z-axis and it woulda been almost same as mouse wheel zoom... you can tell by the devs not doing that simple fix to f9x2 cam, they themselves didn't realize their playerbase uses it (or what was really the case; there...

yea you're right, which is funny because the eqemu codebase is atrocious... i guess it's kind of impressive how it was built over the years, large parts by random people that have come and gone. (talking pre akkadius)... always wish i could see the real server source

i cant remember when proper mouse wheel zoom came to EQ, but it was not PoP era nor before. pretty easy to confirm that since eqmac's PC client (which contains LDON files) cannot mouse wheel. i 100% doubt anyone actually used the real f9x2+zoom-out 3rd person cam more than a few times to target...

actual mouse wheel zoom didnt come out until like GoD... that fucky f9 shit + zoom out (which affected z-axis) definitely wasn't the main choice for most people, maybe for tanks. so im gonna say sebilis designed for 3rd person is fake news

i think that was just the perceived limit of eqemu at the time of that doc, since it took them like 10 years to go from OoW to DoN

played eq for 20 years, im this target market... i agree with the dudes saying the tedious systems just wont work like they think in 2025. anyways, whatever those things are will be easily hackable since this is unity. just like MQ2 and SEQ for EQ but even easier since core engine structs will...

^ lol found the DBG rat

100% spent my first year of EQ without any maps (kunark era)... but thats because i was like 11 and didnt even think to look them up online

im just saying eqemu as its own is infringement, by law; not at all a way to win this suit... i dont think that holds any water in the DPG vs THJ suit. id imagine the client side injection mods are the biggest deal (besides the EoM/donations). Those mods may be private github repos and thus...

naw technically eqemu, just as a piece of source code, is illegal/infringing because they reversed engineered the client/server protocol, more importantly the encryption for certain eq packets (for many versions of the client and server protocol over the years) - that brings it into DRM...

a restful api for an mmo seems beyond retarded

^ yo fuck this guy and his personal attacks

Those EQ numbers from DPG are unique, maximum, "characters" logged in per day.

anyone wanna drop some tech knowledge on how that works... i know nothing about wow emu, but envisioning something like eq client being rewritten in UE seems insane on the amount of work... did they seriously just use the assets and program all client side systems? maybe they're somehow using...

I agree, but the final points from that chatgpt slop is 100% accurate and everything THJ did. They reversed engineered the client way more than mq2 did or other eqemu servers like TAKP/Quarm... nothing in mq2 or Quarm comes close to the client side mods they needed to do to make multiclass work...

Legal and Copyright Considerations ✅ You rewrote your own server: Rewriting a server from scratch (i.e. without using or copying the company's server code) may be technically legal in some jurisdictions, if you haven't used or reverse-engineered protected server code. This is commonly done in...

Guess I won't continue to spend time on THJ... guess I'll go to Fangbreaker... LOL!

i mean quarm pretty successful bra, but for legal purposes, yea that wasnt half your work /wink

bro this is a retarded ass take... "slap a multiclass power fantasy"... wtf "slap"... this is years worth of work that started way before THJ.

my DRU/WAR/BST been absolutely shinning after these war and druid buffs

that piratesoftware guy is an absolute moron. he was talking about some low level tech shit one time and was completely wrong. i personally believe this guy never wrote a single line of code for anything meaningful at blizzard yet he presents himself as something more than a peasant in a large...

Damn, 4+ months until GoD soooks... even worse if they consider allowing lvl 70 for GoD release. That takes away from OoW fun, which makes me spiral into thinking they dont have plans for OoW.

pretty sure the dev's prior server went up to OoW (because they had custom 2.0 changes)... their prior server had some of the things we see here at THJ... so i'd imagine they'll be going to at least OoW. however now that eqemu is up to DoN it will probably go that far up. then it may die or they...

i think wow's early death/cr concept > eq's early death/cr concept... basically in both situations you're penalized the same with an interruption to your current goals... wow just streamlined it by not worrying about a bind point and ghost mode... huge cop out but c'mon nothing worse...

tax man coming for them KR transactions

debating accepting this new job... current job: lead developer for enterprise web applications for gov contract, not 24/7 work, remote but i have an office, $111k basically 2% annually forever. no more real growth in terms of positions it's a tiny company. its pretty stressful because i do the...

i believe it works like this... kill named, it will drop its loot... then it will roll from a bucket of named, then it will drop their loot... so yea if theres 30 named in the bucket and one of them is quillmane and he's chosen, then its w/e chance at that point to get the peggy cloak based on...

y'all brothers?

yea ShowEQ on a separate computer attached to network will 100% never be detectable. MySEQ though, yea they can detect it.

I agree with your overall point. I use to have this exact sense too, however after being involved with some eqemu dev and a long time p99 and takp player I can tell you there are actually TONS of quests that basically no one knew of back then. Granted 75% of these quests provided useless results...

i think the "AI" that will take the genre somewhere is whenever 3d image and animation can be created dynamically that "shapes the world around you based on your actions". until then, the "AI" stuff out today (LLMs) for code, image generation, some dialog/lore - is basically not worth anything...

who gives af about someone from cambodia not being able to play; game is still fun. for the ~10% that get screwed, fuck em lol why so many defenders??? they'll end up just VPNing once to create the account... not like these 3rd worlders dont know how to use 1

well season 3 started few weeks ago? so skipping s1 and s2 was my point (which is pretty easy to understand imo)... but yea keep making irrelevant comments on the internet... wait that'll never happen lmao, im responding to a dude with hundreds of hours on this forum alone (loser)

i played d4 on launch and it was alright, kinda boring - got to 75 on a druid and quit, haven't played since. season 3 is a lot better - you can skip the slog of the campaign and then basically get to 50 off the seasonal quest line and a few random things pretty fast. after that getting to 75...
