    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...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    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.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Yeah that was back on Phinny. There used to be Mage bots killing fire beetles 24v hours a day before they finally nerfed it.

    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.

    Ok, so I have managed to get damn near everything for my mage epic except a handful of items, and... I'm out of krono. I literally spent the last of my krono last night obtaining a Crown of Elemental Mastery. I am in need of the following: Dirt of Underfoot Rain of Karana Tears of Erollisi...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    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...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    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...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    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...

    Reading all of this just leaves one nagging question in my mind... How did you all figure out how to do all of this? Did you go to Kronolord University? I mean really... The average gamer... no scratch that.. the above average gamer that plays EverQuest and has done so for the past two decades...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    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...

    Nah I wasn't running any hacks, and as far as I know, none of my friends have ever used MQ2. I don't know if any of them was running showeq, so I can't say they didn't.

    Should have been an apology from the GM that clearly broke the rules to suspend us in the first place, but you know that didn't happen.

    Looking for a MMORPG like Everquest circa 2000-2002 that is NOT ran by Darybreak Games

    That social pressure with TLP is something I am running in to right now honestly. With the suspension of my two accounts from EQ, I am having a lot of thoughts of trying to finally cut the cord from EQ and move on with my life. Then every time I log back in to Discord, my friends and all my...

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

    The simple fact is the GM didn't do anything to see if we were there. I know because there was 8 real live humans playing there at that camp. Not one single person said, "hey my character just got moved over here" or anything like that. What actually was being said in Discord was a lot of the...

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

    Here's the thing though. A GM kicked us out of the game and suspended us within a half hour of starting our AE group. All of this on a Sunday as well. How many times have you had a GM respond to your petition that fast? One of the guys that got suspended had only been at the group for...

    Looking for a MMORPG like Everquest circa 2000-2002 that is NOT ran by Darybreak Games

    I'm looking for a new (old) MMORPG to spend my time and money on that is NOT owned by nor connected to Daybreak Games in any way. I prefer the game design of the 2000 to 2002 era of EverQuest. Is there anything out there or in development that fits that bill, or is it time to forget MMORPGs...

    I was on my two accounts during the whole thing neither of which was pulling mobs, so I wouldn't know if anyone was getting ran over by pulls or not. What I can tell you though is that we specifically chose a pick that didn't have anyone in the areas we were going to pull from. We left the...

    Here's the fucking kicker. My two accounts got suspended, but one of the accounts (my ranger) wasn't doing anything. He wasn't in the group. He wasn't pulling mobs. He wasn't casting spells. He wasn't hitting any mobs. He was JUST STANDING there by the AoE group because I was going to have...
