    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    GOD you can collect tongues for an eventual nice reward, although the last two require raid drops. Quest is called discord skin samples. TSS has shield of the otherworld, which is kinda simple named killing in a few zones for a decent aug. IMO a nice chase item if you like a long task to work...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Yeah, actually, this is honestly what I think. I mean shit man, at my company, our csrs literally do sip coffee and discuss what they can say to clients to lower their own work volume. Why wouldn't daybreak's cs??

    Yes there absolutely is! What do you think happens when people clue in that gms can create picks to alleviate crowd drama? 1. Whine they they want their turn / its not fair - already happened in several threads on daybreak forums. 2. Accusations of bias or arbitrary advantage - you do this. 3...

    I am an officer of amtrak. I confirm that our guild would never deliberately train or use showeq.

    In a vacuum? Definitely amtrak exploiting. I say that as amtrak myself. In context? The 3 times cited for extra picks are 3 of the absolute shittiest times for daybreak cs. Fungus grove as the "mass" of the server was hitting it as a bottleneck, the deep during a bonus xp weekend, and storms at...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    What was AM even doing on launch night? You seem SO mad that other guilds got pos named which yours didn't. The problem is, faceless got a ton without intent to race again, randoms got some, minor guilds got some... tons of people not just amtrak. Where was your guild? Nobody was harmed by...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    @Vise my stance has not changed, and it remains just my stance and not some formal amtrak position. The simplest explanation for these "bonus" picks: in fg after the race, in deep during xp weekend, and in storms on pop launch night? A gm/csr/dev/whatever at daybreak made them to cut down on...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    On day 2 I heard two statements: 1. Faceless claims they weren't racing but were raiding until 7am. 2. Faceless claims they went 50/50 on pos medals but no way they did. Now that we know there were bonus pos picks open, I actually kinda believe faceless now. They eventually did get just as many...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Shortly after pop launch, faceless were claiming they got as many storms flags as amtrak. A ton of us were calling them delusional and idiots etc. Likewise, a lot of faceless were claiming they were not trying to race, and a bunch of us again were calling them idiots saying if they werent racing...

    FG, deep, and storms are spots known for drama. Specifically for people bumping into each other and bottlenecks and grief. Putting up FG picks once the race is already over, deep picks before a major xp event, and storms picks at launch just screams of some kind of CSR type move to try to limit...

    No medal imo. This was a nothing race and we don't want the medals to be too meaningless.

    Time travel is the worst plot device ever. Cap bench paradox? Who cares, if Thanos abandoned 2014 to go forward a decade? Meanwhile I just couldn't shake how truly terrible, like basically evil, snapping people back but 5 whole years later would be. You get to come back to a world that would...

    Selo is not the ideal market for farming krono. More hardcore players, far less hardcore spenders. There is a reason the rmters went for mangler - you would probably make more kr hustling hgs solo on a pet class than even aeing on selo.

    I disagree with it being a problem at all, though. Ae groups are fine. They require more setup and coordination and actual human attention to the game and as such are healthy social experiences. The people screaming bloody murder about getting trained are just being dumb, as these are pulls...

    No. Everquest is a cool game because it has cool gimmicks, and imbalanced items, and quirky pathing, and crazy exploits... One of the absolute last things we really need are blanket nerfs for game balance sake. Sure, your nerf will stop ae groups in their tracks. It also stops a multitude of...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    P2W mechanics are more devastating the more persistent your game world is. Mmos are not hamstrung because "kids these days" nonsense. They are not built to capitalize in the current trending marketplace, and that's on the grown ass men. Even before cash shops many were crippled by RMT and paying...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    A successful future MMO absolutely does not have to copy WoW, but it needs to still address the same issues that it did in some way even if differently. Being able to log in and be productive with under an hour window to play needs an answer, even if you don't take WoW's casual approach of easy...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    The key draws to playing an mmo are a social atmosphere and persistent world. This results in difficulty playing for short times or stepping away easily, and an ever growing barrier of entry for new or returning players. Wow addressed these with piles of easy wqs and instanced pugs + complete...

    Everquest AMA with Holly Windstalker

    A big concern I hear from a lot of people on tlps is veteran rewards, usually mentioned with the same "too much to be able to catch up" sentiment that prevents people from jumping into live. Would it be possible to put veteran rewards on the store? This would allow returning players on a new...

    Ms. Longdale, you run a fantastic company here. My wife and I play your game every day. I like the announcements you tweet, and the missus thinks your forum posts are quite humorous!

    Everquest AMA with Holly Windstalker

    Holly, Everquest and especially these TLP servers have become a haven for people with fairly noticeable mental issues and/or antisocial behavior, while other games seem intent on taking steps to either drive out the least socially adjusted or to desocialize interactions such that players can...

    Keep a record of who won gnome mask(s) and/or sceptre(s) of destruction. Inform the owners that it's nothing personal but if one ever goes up for sale they will be required to prove ownership and will be kicked and even reported to daybreak if they can't. Chances are the people who won them are...

    I liked loot council too, but once you introduce split raiding and have batphoned off hour snipes with skeleton crews I no longer want it. You simply need the stability of a point system. I will contend that even for this selo race which was the epitome of needing funneled loot and a council...

    It's on the rare list I'm pretty sure. The problem is that 2 times garbage is still mostly garbage. Very very glad I did that on a mage box early before the rush, apparently it's a ks clusterfuck now on top of rare.
