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

    IMO there are 3 general types of TLP player. The player who remakes every TLP and loves classic to pop (25%) The player who remakes every OTHER TLP and loves classic to pop (50%) The player who plays one TLP ever (25%)

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

    Average of each over each expansion. For example Mangler during luclin averaged 1550 players at night 10pm est. Aradune has averaged 1030 players at night 10pm est. I also estimate that DPG has made significantly less with Aradune than they did with Mangler. Besides the population difference...

    I have been keeping numbers since agnarr. Obviously different eras have different populations and different rules for each server but overall this is the list I have as most popular to least. Its Mangler, Agnarr, Selo, Aradune, Rizlona, Coirnav, Miraguel

    Wouldnt surprise me DB is pretty retarded when it comes to release times lately. They should have released another one in march, people were still in lock down and people getting stimulus money.

    Original VP HP regen was brutal. Originally when doing nagafen anymore than 24 people could not dps him. I always thought it was a hate list issue of no more than 24 people could be on his hate list and anymore could not dmg him. Also like the first 3ish nagafen attempts were fails but he...

    They really have messed up in just about every way possible when it comes to the TLP release. Covid was prime money making time for games like them with everyone stuck at home. They should have released Aradune/Rizlona in March 2020 and then a Mangler/Selo copy in March 2021 to maximize their...

    I really doubt they have any input other than keep the numbers up. I want to warn people the company that bought DPG is leveraged to the max. If the market takes a nasty turn which is likely its very possible it will put that company into bankruptcy.

    We sure this isn't an archeage expansion? The graphics, style looks extremely similar.

    I still laugh at this thinking, you know you dont HAVE to clear every dz reset it just an option. But then again I am the same way.. If the dz timer is up are a forced to clear it by some little thing inside all of us.

    I left the double loot off because it doesn't seem like something they could easily implement and so the likelihood of getting them to do it is slim.

    Would love a Selo 2.0 with a slight adjustment, 2 month unlocks.

    They are defiantly button smashers but I was also referring to the giant sparkly fireworks show that every korean game works so hard to put into any spell casters. Two days into the game no one cares about that stuff anymore though. I just hope they dont go the route that korean mmos go with...

    This is a basically a Korean mmo made by an American and every Korean mmo pvp is Dance Dance Revolution.

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

    Like most I suspect that Selo server will be used for the next TLP with whatever rules they decide on. I know people are hoping for a new server sooner rather than later but I just dont see it. I also doubt they even know at this point what the next server rules will be. I just hope they are not...

    We had some GMs tell us back in classic 1999ish in FoH that we had to stand in a dragons AE and could not use corners to avoid it because they considered it an exploit.

    I always say take the dumbest thing you think DBG might do. Then take that idea one step more and thats what they are most likely to implement.

    They cant even show your current subscription time in game.

    All they would need to do for a casual server is to have selo experience and remove all flagging for any DZ. OW would still require the flagging requirements.

    The race to get into x place is always the goal which requires numbers and organization. Killing the mobs has always been a foregone conclusion once the requirements to enter has been met. There have been a few servers where this was pretty fun because there were equal parties racing. The way EQ...

    EQ TLP ramblings

    The biggest issue is they still have is there is no end game with these TLPs. I mean Selo still doesnt know whats going to happen with them. Are they just going to be the only live server with AOCs and Truebox still enabled? All the dead servers which will limp along for years just wasting space...

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

    Everything i said in my post was factauly true. If it was scanning or not I said I did not know. My point was the lag issues started months before Aradune and coincided with the data center move in February.

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

    While this could be true I dont know. But the fuller story is that in the middle of Feb when they moved host Mangler started crashing every 24 to 48 hours. They let this happen for 6 weeks, server would start lagging then crash. It happened about 30 times over those 6 weeks before they finally...

    Doesnt really bode well for any new server releases being stable at all. We all remember how terrible Aradune was for over a month.

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

    Not super surprising as in my numbers Mangler and Phini were close. People forget Phini had crazy slow exp which turned a lot of casuals off and a lot of the TLP things were not ironed out until late Agnarr. Mangler was about the perfect TLP server as to date. They would be best served to just...

    Phini was the first of the new TLPs and doesn't follow the same patterns of the newer servers.

    Its about the same price that krono was on Coirnav around this time and reflects the lack of popularity of the server.

    Hopefully the next servers are a Mangler and Selo clones and we can act like Karadune never happened.

    Server was a disaster for sure. Never had more than 400 people on it even at launch. Was down to an average of 35 people a night within 3 months.

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

    The only one thats even remotely arguable is Selos ranking. Because of the timeframe in months live vs the expansion releases. Maybe Aradune had more population day 1 trying to get in, thats possible but impossible to prove as they were not able to get in and general channels did not reflect...

    I have numbers for every expansion since Phini up to GOD on each server or like the new ones velious. I grouped Selo which started in luclin as being classic/kunark/velious combo. Its not perfect of course as selo was the exception server.

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

    Guild numbers really dont matter. Server1 could have 10 guilds with 72 members each who cleared all content and server2 could have 4 guilds with 300 members each giving the false impression that server1 has more population. The only somewhat accurate way is to count people in general channels...

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

    I am not on Aradune as you could tell pretty early on it was going to be a garbage low pop server. It has the 2nd lowest population of the TLPs since phini at this point in the expansion releases only slightly higher than Coirnav.

    If you rob a bank with your finger and another guy robs it with a gun you both are doing something illegal. I find it funny how almost every time someone starts something like this it comes down to one RMTer got mad at another RMTer. Both are scumbags, one can admit it and the other is just...

    As the game flops you will see more micro transactions added in. This is the future and the only real way to make a massive amount of money in mmos thee days.
