    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    My brother and I were talking about this just last night. I think a lot of people (myself included) is tired of the old content and starting over in general. We've done so many TLPs, that I think it has played itself out... at least for us. I like the Mischief server's ruleset all except...

    Ah sorry. I assumed this thread was specific to the Mischief server.

    Well like I've said before, this isn't a MMORPG in the vain of EverQuest, WoW, FFXIV, etc. It is very misleading that the industry calls games like New World a MMORPG. I mean, I get it. It technically IS a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, but the term MMORPG means more than...

    I literally had zero interest in the game when it was a survival game. As soon as I heard that, I was done with it. The only reason I bought it to do the closed beta is because they changed the game design away from that model.

    I hear what you're saying, and you aren't wrong. The thing is that I wanted to continue my experience of the beta where I left off the day before. That was not possible, so I chose to not start over again. I'm fully aware that when the game actually comes out I will have to start over from...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Anybody want to join my brother and I for some leveling tonight (Friday July 23rd)? Planning to play my 28 Warrior for at least 4 hours to run a pot. I might resub my cleric account to bring along unless I get a healer and don't have to box. Not sure which character my brother will bring on...

    The next big MMORPG should drop the first M

    I'd be ok with that, but I would add to it... No name changes EVER No server transfers EVER Make it so that it takes you long enough to get high level and geared on a server that starting over from level 1 JUST TO CHANGE YOUR NAME is painful enough that you won't do it. Make reputation...

    So, I went to login last night to play some more. I click on my character, and it says that the server is down for maintenance. I thought about making another character. Then I remembered how many hours I had already put in to harvesting to get my mining up, and was like fuck that. Logged...

    The next big MMORPG should drop the first M

    I'm thinking the solo part of the game (when you're buddies aren't logged in to group with) could be spending time harvesting, crafting, and working on things that might result in uber shit you can use to complete much more difficult group content when your buddies do end up logging in. For...

    I don't think it is illogical to expect some innovation over 20 years. Not all games need to innovate, but to expect that NO games will innovate is short sighted imo.

    New World

    It's obvious that this game is a conglomeration of "try this... no... try this... no... try this" with no clear direction of what the game was actually supposed to be. I would assume that the code is a spaghetti of horrible decisions at this point. They will clearly make a good chunk of...

    I played for quite a while again last night, and I'll state again that I believe the game is worth the initial cost of entry. Just don't expect this to be a MMORPG. This is a PvP area control game slapped on top of a survival RPG. Heavy harvesting and crafting to create gear and such with...

    If I remember correctly, some one leveled from 50 to 59 on beetle eyes right after Kunark opened, and a gm despawned the turn in npc.

    The next big MMORPG should drop the first M

    I think what the industry needs to do is get rid of the first M in MMORPG. They keep trying to make games that will draw hundreds of thousands of concurrent players which inherently causes a lot of detriment to the product itself. If they would instead focus on making MORPGs that you play with...

    That pretty much sums it up. The thing that keeps going through my mind is that if you are after a crafting heavy RPG to play, Valheim is cheaper, hella fun, and was made by a handful of developers. You would think that a multi-billion dollar corporation could make something more ground...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I'm finding myself not logging in as much lately. It's a cycle with me and this game. Every TLP that comes around, I end up playing, and then at some point I am like meh and stop logging in. I just don't get it. I do like EQ. I've liked it for over 2 decades now, but it can not keep my...

    I logged in late last night to check this out, and it's not bad. To me it felt like Neverwinter Online and Valheim had a child kind of.. but not really. Hard to put it in words. I do like harvesting in games, so that part of it is good for me. The combat is whack-a-mole style at least...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I have suggested many, many times that they should create TLP-specific expansions that pick up directly after Planes of Power and continue the story in a new direction. People are like "that would be awesome" and the threads go on and on, and in the end, nothing happens. Why? Because the...

    Who ever it was that sent me the Power of Fire, thanks, but I already finished the Element of Fire on my mage. I didn't write down who sent it to me, or I would send it back. What I really need is the staff from Phinigel. Anybody want to do an instanced phinny hit sometime this weekend...

    I'm thinking I will preorder this on Steam when I get home today from work. I figure why the heck not? Worst case scenario, I try it out, it sucks, I go back to play the same game I have "gone back to playing" for the past two decades.

    Well the thing is that I had been accustomed to using a modem for many years before that, so it wasn't a big deal to me. I guess I just assumed that it was a server/client thing where the server managed the game data. I ran and used BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems) ever since the Commodore 64...

    My very, very first character ever made in EQ was a dwarven paladin. I had NO IDEA what a MMORPG was at all. All I knew was that I really liked playing SSI's Pools of Radiance back in the day on my Commodore 64, and I saw a magazine article talking about this EverQuest game that you create a...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Comparing FV to Mischief is not really an apples to apples comparison in my opinion. Mischief drops literal tons of loot on rare and raid mobs. The simple fact that VS drops VP loot should be enough to explain how FV and Mischief are two completely different server types. Hell you can get...

    On a server where raid mobs drop a ton of loot (a lot of which you had to kill much harder raid mobs to get said loot), and it is all (or mostly) tradable, someone remind me how plat dupe really makes any difference. You do realize that every single piece of "OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT I GOT" raid...

    Honest question. What is this respectable dps you speak of for a cleric in classic? Last I checked, they can hit Attack and they have at least one nuke spell. If you are referring to spamming the nuke spell, isn't that going to leave you with no mana for heals... aka a worthless cleric. Just...
