Might as well. So many of us act as if we are Mom's apple pie, 4th of July, when in fact....

You know what they say, if you can make it in eq you can make it anywhere. Top of the list, king of the hill, A number 1........... These little gamer blues Aren't getting me down I want to be a part of it EQ, EQ! I want an EC tunnel That never sleeps And instanced content To avoid too many...

Deserve's got nothing to do with it

This is why teh kronos sellz

good lord

This is kinda why I am only playing 1am est + . Things cool down, as usual. I barely have patience for the game, nevermind assholes.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it.

I guarantee you, people are playing chanters for farming ability, not to have as a main. Rare is the player who wants to main what largely becomes a buffbot by PoP. Of course, some of us just like purple text.

Damn twitchy kids. Have no respect for immersion.

ah, one of my fave strats. Did this on a named in solb on fippy once. Was pretty sweet because, other grp was, in fact, trying to steal a named even though we were camping the spawn. What's the lesson kids? Know what can possibly erase your mobs aggro / dmg done when dealing with contested!

Phinny also has a soloing penalty I thought. That is, you get exp multipliers if the more full your group, but duoing and soling slowed exp down to a crawl. I am guessing that aspect of phinny's exp system is NOT in play on Agnarr.

Much better version imho

Considering that Daybreak games is basically 20 or so people with a server farm, agree.

You sure they still do that even on these tlp servers? I had assumed it was just nerfed so breeze was in game from start. Still, exp will be super ez so getting to 22 is not a big deal.

Random zone lag simulator. A router went down in St. Louis! No raids tonight!

when melee classes are wailing about how they neeeeeeed geeeeeear you will be still rockin' cloth and going, uh, wut? it's all about making it tol Breeze. Then, everyone lurves you.

Watch for me. Gonna roll a ranger called William T'Santiago. You might well ask, who the fuck is PFC William T Santiago

Which reminds me, how come you ain't got diner fixed yet? Get offa the fuckin interwebs!

this is eq lite. in fact, leveling could be kinda slow in the latest TLP servers, if you did not have a full group, but this one is tuned for easier exp I hear. This is a loot parade. Instances make it so. The only limit..... is your imagination.

I'm on my 6th replay of Battlecruiser 3000, so I do not get a lot of this negativity.

Pretty sure this is time to call out the big guns. Get Curt Schilling on board this stat.

Document the atrocities, I say.

Phinny exp cap rises with # in group. That's why soloing on phinny = teh suck. You get very little on phinny if soloing. I have not seen that penalty mentioned in regard to agnarr, and anyway, they have said exp rate will be similar to ragefire, which was ridiculous easy. Maybe they will find...

Ah, did not know recent tlp's had such era-correct mechanics. If you play a buff class, part of the immersion is keeping things buffed. Nerfing that was one aspect of how the game just got too soft imo. But I am still pissed that endurance has disappeared even from emu servers. zing.

I am pretty sure this is how AIDS started

Ogre. Frontal Stun Immunity.

wraith/rev, the dynamic duo. we always raided together. Normally, we were not down with VM, but we joined for that night/. Even Darkoor was happyy ending that night....

I ran p99 on a circa 2009 asus netbook for a while. external monitor and keyboard and mouse, and the game from a thumb drive. Had to use nintendo resolution, but it ran fine. It's a damn old engine. Not sure if the TLP servers are as easy though.

fify Vaclav ;) And yes, I think what you say is true. I was already 30ish when live came out, and most of the core of my guild was older too.

Zaide, no disrespect, but you are the person I was taking about. You seem to have no concept things used to be different in persistent online worlds. Thanks for proving my point!

I think we are in the "exception vs the norm" territory here Zaide. The norm was not to go full retard. But, if that failed, then full retard came into play. I was in the guild zerg of RZTWL that caused SOE to put flag limits and raid # limits into game. We crashed the zone (ie, almost everyone...

game knowledge increasd at the same rate, maybe, as technological limits? I think technological limits were very real. And game knowledge. We take for granted everyone knows what "joust" means, to use a silly example. I would not underestimate the number of ***solid*** early players who --...

Not necessarily. I think what Vaclav was referring to was, if a lower tier guild had massed, and if they could engage, you gave them their shot. If they wiped, you moved your people in. I just remember that being, not like an absolute norm, but kinda common practice / courtesy. You would, in...

What I find baffling and kind of depressing is that if you mention stuff like this to "younger" hardcore players (i.e., people who did not hardcore raid during original because they were, um, still in underoos) they act as if you are speaking gibberish. The notion of not turning a persistent...

agree. early adopter syndrome. was good times tho. I rmember just thinking, holy shit, I'm playing this stupid game online with someone from AUS, some one who does not understand English in Asia, some German, some British dude talking about soccer,, you get the point. Being a shitbag, back then...

Yeah, the scale of how this has developed is a paradoxical issue. On the one hand, first 2 years of eq had so many servers (were xfers even implented yet?) but on the other hand, the actual community *was* pretty.. predictable. Early internet geeks w/ decent connections. Lots of IT people. Fact...

Hey man, depends on when you catch me on my med cycle. Some years are better than others. Anyway, "a_skeleton_02" -- if that is your real name -- who was you? I'm always just Sadre. Since 99. Very aspie!

Heh, remember when "ebayed" used to be an insult? I was one of the first jewelers to hit max on my server, and I used to do a decent trade in selling plat ruby veils and such on ebay. But then ebay stopped doing eq stuff, and I just went back to plain old time wasting ;) It was a nice way to...

travel for trade is key to the immersion. Plus, common bank slots are the devil. If you cannot figure out a sekret location to do char-to-char drops, and have a reliable connection, well, come on. My spot is super secret. I've dropped fungi's with confidence. But then again, "danger" is my...
