Agreed, but that fun game isn’t an MMO. It’s a solo lobby game.

If anyone ever left an XP group i was leader of to do a corpse locate, I’d immediately remove them and put them on my ignore list. I guarantee the rest of the group would thank me.

I'm not gonna speculate on MNM's future player subscription numbers, but I'll say this: 7500 subscriptions is about double the entire p99 and Quarm 'active' user-base (not THJ cuz that shit ain't an MMO) combined, and is likely double the paying subscriber count of EQ Live itself. So to reach...

A viable solo path is incredibly important for MMORPG population health, even in group focused games. Put in as much content as you want, slow leveling to a crawl so it's consumed slowly, make boat rides four hours, not of it will matter. The most important content is other players in the...

This guy getting torn to fucking shreds lmao

Saw some of it. Same issue again. Of the 7700 unique accounts played, 3900 (~50%) played 5 hours or less over the course of a week. 35% played 2 hours or less. 5 hours is not enough time for a new player to reach level 4. Not entirely sure where this assertion Shawn makes that ‘the people who...

Where is the data posted?

Who could’ve seen that coming? The light source and spellbook systems are going decimate (by the proper definition) the potential audience for this game, and they add almost nothing to the game experience.

The number of level 1-3 toons in the early hours (4 or so) of the playtest opening were shocking. We’re talking numbers measured in the dozens, not hundreds. What i find really wild is that nobody is talking about how many players this thing is gonna shed as soon as you ask some of these...

Of course they read this thread. I imagine the perpetual knob-gobble of their discord gets boring eventually. I’m very curious to see how discussion in their channels changes once EA launches and the audience broadens.

The only dungeon in classic wow that took more than an hour was BRD. Maaaaybe UBRS if you sucked.

Why did you put "brutal world" in quotation marks, when you are the only one who has said it? Nobody called the world "brutal". We are calling it retarded.

oh dude dude you’re supposed to find a necro to pay 3 gold to summon your corpse in a vast empty world. He’s 3 zones over playing merchant arbitrage with beaver asses and salamander choda. He’s gonna be stoked to help for sure.

imagine having 1.5 hours to play, a more than reasonable play session, and this absolute horse shit happens to you? Immerse me harder, daddy.

He’s fully trolling and he’s actually quite good at it. Play along or ignore.

The only things most people around here want in a game that was present in EverQuest are persistent dungeons with camp & pull style grouping, class interdependence, a de-emphasis on quest hub experience gain, and a return to thoughtful itemization. WoW circa 2005 did almost everything else...

I dunno man… what’s the alternative to a 6-9 minute run? That’s around how long the griffin flight from Ironforge to Eastern Plaguelands took. Let alone the run to Stratholme once you landed.

isn’t TelEkir like one zone over? i dunno about this one dog.

The one dev dude is constantly hinting about new classes coming, and gets all cutesy when people mention Blood Mage. I expect it’s coming soon (tm). This game is going to end up with 20+ classes for sure.

I'd definitely include a third healer that had a ton of CC utility and was the best group/aoe healer - but the worst single target healer. I just don't like the way buffs are distributed on the Shaman with respect to the other healer classes.

If anything there should be fewer classes and a couple should be made more powerful. Elementalist should be rolled into Wizard & Enchanter. Shaman into Druid & Cleric.

Quarm is about 15% down from what you’d expect at this hour, so that’s interesting. MnM max concurrent looks like it went from 1710 last test to 1870 this one. Their highest population day was the first day last test. EDIT: nvm Quarm is back where it should be.

Pretty sure this one is a whole week. So far it's had zero impact on Quarm population, but I'm curious to see online numbers there during primetime. Quarm was on shutdown last Monsters and Memories test.

That’s great news. Thanks!

Is it global? Or only players within that zone?

@Kriptini I heard there's some kind of LFG/LFM interface, is that right? Good move if so. How does it work?

My favourite thing about this was that Druids were the most commonly played class for the reasons you described, but then they couldn't get a group after level 45 until they gave them a ghetto Complete Heal in Luclin lol. But ya, as you touch on, the lack of self awareness of the MnM community...

Druid nerfs and a bunch of shit i don’t care about. Patch notes are classic as fuck.

Yeah people tipping ~40p per port is very common and folks are LAZY. They’ll take a port for anything more than 2 zones lol. Theres a global Ports chat channel and it’s constantly filled with requests.

They did 4 months ago when i was leveling up. Couldn’t tell ya now. But making plat is incredibly trivial on Quarm. I’ve been on this server for 4 months and I’ve amassed around 80k plat. I play relatively casually too, but i do play a Druid. By level 30 i was wearing better gear than i was...

There isn't a single spider silk in the bazaar right now for under 1pp

Well they're already getting a rep on the server for being annoying pussy dipshits. So nice start I guess. "Spare a PoTG sir? I'm new to the server and only have 3 platinum". Like go suck a dick. A stack of spider silk sells for 20p.

Most of them sit in the Nexus begging for fucking free buffs all day. It’s absolutely insufferable.

Watched another stream the other day and what I mentioned a few weeks back is accurate - bank inventories are specific to that particular city. If you put stuff in the Night Harbour bank(s), you can't access it in the Wood Elf city. However, and this might be the first real QOL system I've heard...

You are ABSOLUTELY being selective. I have been in all of these zones in the last two weeks. ALL OF THEM have significant areas as tight as Vanilla dungeons. Yes, they all have areas where the roof level is high, but so do Vanilla dungeons. The castle area in Solb, the bear pits in Permafrost...

What? Karnor’s Castle best camps were in tiny halls… same with Howling Stones and Sebilis? Droga? Chardock? All small hallway style. Crystal Caverns? Dragon Necropolis rats? Velketor basement dogs? Siren’s Grotto? What the fuck are you talking about? You think something being true 50% of the...

I used the awful third person view situationally if i was quadding, or healing a group where folks had charmed pets, or if the tank was dogshit. Otherwise i didn’t punish myself with it.

Vanguard was dead on arrival. People quit because the game sucked from day one. Next.
