fwiw, I know at least 5 friends that don't watch the MnM stream, aren't on the discord, haven't kept up with the development at all but will 100% sub and play at launch. They all played EQ 25 years ago, played EQ emulated servers for 10+ yrs and have been waiting for something new. There's so...

I logged in for about an hour to create a wood elf and see the progress made to the Kelethin city. A lot had. It seemed playable with plenty of mobs and NPCs populated. So I guess I fall into that 35% group that didn't play much. But I will play at release of EA. There's just a lot less reason...

I'm fine with the bank thing as long as I can see what I have stored in other banks. I don't really want to keep a spreadsheet of where my gear is located.

This may just be a gayest debate topic yet in this thread. Good news though. MnM camera works regardless of your preference so future generations won’t have to post screenshots with ceiling measurements to prove a point.

I only played P99 during classic (lockdown era) and I can confidently say we in Seal Team were #1 due to superior poop socking and weaponized autism.

I thought you got your schtick removed?

Will this be like the O.J. Simpson verdict, but instead of Black people cheering it’s all morbidly obese autistic 12 boxers

I only played 1 hour to see some changes but plan to play ‘full time’ when EA releases.

Remember when everyone complained about the darkness making it unplayable and now it’s fixed? No one is complaining about combat, loot, bugs, or actual gameplay. Fun game confirmed. The MAPists can stay disgruntled.

All the complaining about not having a map, when you learn the cities layout by playing for like 4 hours and doing the noob quests that lead you around. WOW, you learn the game world by playing — a novel idea for an RPG in 2025.

The next step in the quest where you have to leap across a balcony and and sneak into a gangs hideout at night is tricky. Bring a friend to kill the guy. He can also run at low health which can get nasty quick.

The fact that 99% of the complaints are about the same 3-4 gameplay elements tells me that the game’s development is going pretty well.

When is the server coming back up?

I bet when that nerd made his YouTube video about 10 boxing EQ, he didn’t think it’d be used as evidence in a lawsuit that destroys an entire emulation industry.

I don't know about that. EQ's biggest carrots many times were getting items and abilities that made the game easier. The game was more fun once I had peg cloak, jboots, and invisiblity clickies. Being too low to acquire those items made me want to log in, level up and try to get them.

THJ doesn't fall under Fair Use by any stretch of the imagination. If it does, then I'm going to torrent every Disney film, change the audio/dialogue of just a few scenes, then rent out local theater screens to play my 'new' films. You can come watch for free but if you want to support me buy...

I'm wondering how much faster content is made when the devs are full time employees and not just doing nights and weekends. Are they going to be 2x faster? 3x? There are 18 zones listed on the MnM wiki. That's not including what they are working on behind the scenes. So 20ish zones is 20...

This is the opposite of true. Laws are literally about protecting property.

Imagine being a DBG dev. You finally meet some cute nerdy girl at a social event. She's excited to learn you are a real-life video game developer. She's super interested to learn more. But now you have to figure out a way to never, ever let her actually see the product you work on. It's better...

lol

A report found that like 1.5 million people were still paying for AOL dial up internet for years after they shouldn't have been. You might be surprised how many people just let auto drafts keep going for years and years. I wouldn't be surprised if there's 1000 EQ accounts that are this way. At...

Shawn said on stream they are adding a gamma slider because the night is darker on some people’s monitors. What looks playable on his rig might be unplayable on yours. In the next playtest you should be able to fix that.

Why doesn't P99 do a fresh server every couple of years that feeds into Blue/Green?

I hate when raiding becomes an overly-complicated mini game. The more complicated you make a fight, it actually removes the creativity because there is only ~1 way to beat the fight and that's by doing exactly what the designers envisioned. When you have simplistic systems, there can actually...

Make leveling easier but sell +Luck potions that increase drops. Or do those already exist?

How else are they going to know where to send the pizza rolls?

Didn't watch the gameplay but the 3 devs don't look like purple-haired trans furries so I think this game might be worth checking out.

Shawn has produced very profitable games. That's why he's able to hang out in Germany and work on a passion project all day. He posted a summary of their financials a while back and they had only spent ~$150,000 in 4 years of development; a lot if not most was on legal. If they can make it this...

The company is literally named NICHE World Cult. Hmmm I wonder what their goal is. Mass appeal?

There are multiple in this very thread…

Arguing about making CR's easier in the MnM thread - you may as well argue about how to change backgammon to make it more popular. It is what it is. If you don't like it, move on.

I think what I'm hearing from a lot of people is that there is tedium built into the game, but also gameplay elements that mitigate that tedium and as you learn2play it really isn't as bad as first assumed.

Oh so you posted your questions in the Discord and received accurate answers as well as a response from a dev…..just like we said you would.

What do they need to "come out and say"? They need to include every game mechanic in their FAQ? They do "come out and say" in the literal thousands of hours of livestreams and very responsive Discord. If you want an answer, go ask a question.

yes

I'm assuming the norm is going to be people will set up encampments outside of dungeons that have supplies such as backup CR gear and spell books. I don't really understand why that's such a hassle.

I was mildly annoyed with the lack of bag space, and then I found the bag vendor and realized buying more bags was easy. I was mildy annoyed with the lack of map, but then I learned my way around and found it easy to follow landmarks. I was mildly annoyed with how dark it was at night, but...

I like that there are multiple places to level 1-5 in and around Night Harbor. You don't have to go to noob yard and fight over mobs. There are beetles in the Inn basement, rats in the shipyard, and bats in another area. I hope they continue with this kind of mob populating because I want as...

Created a rogue. Took a couple hours of grinding to get level 3. There were tons of groups killing stuff. I got to go into the first dungeon, Wyrmsbane. Killed a bunch of skeletons and got level 4. Full set of cloth & rawhide. My little halfling looks awesome. This is what I've been wanting.
