It lost players because the underlying game wasn't suitable for PVP, it had niche appeal, and that appeal was time-limited. There was nothing reasonable that SoE could have done to preserve or even promote PvP in EQ. They could have made other games instead, and in fact they did, and some of...

I'd put weight behind what a reasonable guy like Elidroth says vs an EQ PVP autist any day of the week. You're literally on crack cocaine if you think EQ PVP once received tons of resources, but it was clear by like, GoD and later era almost that entire player base had moved on, it'd be terrible...

I was never super into PVP, but when I was getting bored with my initial run in EQ back in the old eras, I had a friend from the serverwide.necro community that was on Sullon Zek, I rolled over there and got an SK up to max level and it was actually pretty fun. But a lot of that fun would 100%...

This post reads like someone who has actually, at a minimum, been exposed to the actual workings of business. The posts advocating for nonsense like PVP servers are clearly people with no clue. The EQ PVP community, all 15 of them, seem to be amazing at dominating discussions on forums and...

Things going well cuk. So my expectation for Selo: GoD - Tons will love, probably have some people logging back on chars they've not played in awhile OoW - Same deal, Omens is pretty fun on TLPs, also the attraction of Epic 2.0s DoN - Well, like 2/3rds of the way through Omens WoW Classic...

Yeah, the fact that some loot sets even out of the absolute best loot-giving LDoN raids can still give you 6 drops that mostly no one wants does suck pretty bad.

6 Hopebringer, 10 TAs, we've had both go to recruits. EQ RNG lottery is pretty hilarious. The Agnarr guild had like a 3+ month drought on TAs and a similar drought on DBoW. We've been weirdly lucky with almost all of the really prized Time items. The first Hopebringer that dropped we only had...

I don't understand a lot of EQers. Typical EQer chat: "Man, EQ is such a boring game, not sure why I play it. All the fights are boring tank and spanks. My favorite raids are NToV and Vox/Naggy." Fast forward to LDoN where raids start to have minimal reactive gameplay mechanics: "Man this...

The biggest reason botting happens so heavily is because the automatic detection tools as they are (at least that I know of), are very poor on Daybreak's end and will generate a decent amount of false positives. Additionally the typical EQ GM in 2019 has never played EQ himself, has probably...

Knowing a lot of the real scummers of EQ, it sounds like the ban wave as has been said was almost entirely focused on people who were bypassing truebox, be it through VMs or through third party software. It also seems like back in April when the rumors of a "ban wave" were coming, due to some...

We do the ele planes on lockout except when they overlap with PoTime lockout then they get pushed +1 day. Next few ele planes where we'd give away free backflags: Fire/Air 5/26 Water 5/27 Fire/Air 5/30 Water 6/1 I'd say if you want an Air flag you generally need to be willing to work with us...

I've always said Luclin is a sleeper candidate for the best expansion of the "core" old school content (which I peg as Classic thru PoP, i.e. the era before people started quitting for WoW beta), even technically unfinished Luclin added far more to the game than any other expansion in its...

@a_skeleton_03 the group/quest stuff that are somewhat interesting for some of the future expansions: Kunark -Epic 1.0 -Chardok Regal Band / SWC Quest chain Velious -Dain Ring Chain -Coldain Prayer Shawl Luclin -Sigil Earring (although killing Seru is a raid thing, most of the quest is...

I'm going to need some clarification on if that was actually Vise sucking himself off.

So from my earlier post: Almost like what...I've already said. It's weird that people are "counting minis" in some vain effort to drum up a race atmosphere that just will never exist on Selo.

It's very difficult to effectively communicate w/a guild our size. We don't all raid together even. Like I barely raided with Ansel (one of our main raid leaders) in Luclin because he's always running one of the raids and I'm usually in one of the others. A good % of EQ players get their...

Our plan was to get 60 storms keys so we could piggy our full first 72 into Agnarr. We were all committed to staying up as long as we could to try and get that done because it's important to us to get into PoTime quickly. Plane of Time is actually fully instanced content, so it doesn't actually...

There's literally no one in Faceless who actually had a count of storms keys vs Amtrak for one. That's not something we were even attempting to measure. Our goal was to key 60 and then stop, which is what we did. It took us exactly one cycle after you guys left the zone to do that--and you guys...

If it was done by daybreak it was probably Prathun, he was physically on server about 2 hours after launch so could've done anything.

What happens is any large guild has people who will troll on streams. That's not something anyone who matters takes seriously. I saw someone taunting us last night "you won't kill Quarm" tonight" on Frankie's stream and was like...well since we're about to go to bed I'm sure we won't be either...

Uh, I guess it doesn't fit the drama-narratives that fuel the cuckbattles on these forums but oddly enough I'm the actual guild leader of Faceless on Selo and I said this weeks and weeks ago: There was no race (unless you define a race as a contest with 1 participant)--as said publicly on...

AE groups which have been around since 2001/2002 = fine. Automated farmers = bad. I think the bot crews are much more prevalent on Mangler right now than Selo (although I've seen a few Chinese down in Seb camping King), but there are at least a couple of big PLers that use automation...

Probably the reason that stuff gets bitched about a lot is as a percentage of its (relatively small) player base, EQ has a lot more of the RMTer/botter types than a typical MMO. Anyone that has played any modern MMO has seen the same stuff in them, EQ especially on early TLP it happens fully in...

There were mages I knew who actually couldn't cast mass mod rod when they first scribed the spell due to it costing more than their current maximum mana.

TFW people don't realize you can buy Gnome Masks and SoDs off a vendor in like ~14 months on Selo.

The way I read it, when Selo hits TSS our "base" rate will be Live, and we'll also have a perpetual +50% bonus, which means it will be FV speed. I actually think XP rate is fine for the amount of AA you really need going forward, until probably level 80-85. In that level range they started to...

Hard to say how the server will work out, but part of my philosophy for Selo is based on what I've seen go down on other servers. The guilds that were comfortably doing Luclin content with 50ish, tended to have to figure out how to do PoP with 40ish, and it never really got better until they...

I loved loot council in my WoW mythic guild in Legion, we'd literally just link our gear, and while we technically made the decision as officers, the whole guild would usually come to a quick consensus about who needed the item more and would get the biggest upgrade from it. We'd process a whole...

I've seen similar situations in every MMO guild I've been in. Female speaks in voice = that certain subtype of male gamers fall in love with her/do anything she wants/says = in their mind she will some day touch their penis. It's pretty sad on a lot of levels, like on a zoomed out view point of...

I'm not 100% sure I do, my discord handle is sieger#8740, I'll reach out if I do have your info. The loot a_skeleton_03 took literally does not matter. I understand some of my members being pissy about it, but a dispassionate/big picture view and an actual recognition of the realities of the...

Ah yes--I'm familiar with that although it occurred before my time with Faceless, or maybe after I had quit Lockjaw I can't remember the timeline. I thought people were talking about something that had happened on Selo or recently. I would not have doxxed Dima (or anyone) and do not think it...

Maybe there is something I've missed but it sounds like there are allegations Faceless Doxxed people in here--if that's true I don't know about it and disavow it, and if there's proof it was Zaide I'll have to seriously consider how I carry the guild forward (i.e. if it will even carry the...

That was Secrets who pulled that blob out and he was a Paladin :D

This thread is pretty hilarious. It's been a pretty fun launch, interesting to see the autism on these forums play out. After a week my biggest concern w/Selo is the population on this server seems super low for one week in.

FAQ (work in progress) I'm going to use this as an opportunity to address/answer some longstanding things I've seen out there about Faceless, on FoH I think we have a venue where I can do that since the poster base is a little less ridiculous than the official Everquest forums. What is Faceless...
