    Odyssey, A Blizzard Entertainment Project

    Once Valheim came out, I didn't need any other Survival games. To me, it was the final evolution but it's unfortunate their development cycle just went completely off the rails. It seems to be much better now since they're already teasing Ashlands pretty heavily in addition to pretty regular...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Not to completely derail the thread but its a shame that EQ2's best days were not seen by a lot of folks and its even more sad that they never addressed the core issues of the game. I really enjoyed my time on EQ2. I may be in the minority but I also had some of my best MMO memories in the...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    First impressions for me are very strong... The world felt much more Diablo than 3 did my first time playing Difficulty was challenging and I hope they don’t need it. I felt almost this EQ desire to get better gear. Not an item score drive but a bit more The shared world was a huge improvement...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Really no idea where to place this but ran across DKOldies posting an unboxing and they stop on a copy of EQ Online Adventures and state they have no clue what it is but a good find. Hahaha I really have no idea how many people even know about the game or how many ended up playing it. Seems...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Just saying that I feel sorry for them and for their supporters. Even though I have no reason to expect anything more and probably shouldn't care, I would have hoped they would have released something to give a spark or hope or excitement but instead, this seems like its going in the wrong...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    If any of the entertainment news is true and they use their brain any at all, LotRO could really hit some solid timing and capitalize on an opportunity. I hope it works out for them. I liked the game myself but just thought it was a little thin in terms of being a MMO. I'm excited for them...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I'm not trying to be cynical or negative but this does look like a backwards step. I'm sure there are some additional passthroughs and optimizations to be had but for Pantheon fans and followers this had to be a little deflating. Poor guys.... I had no expectations and this was a little sad...

    Everquest Confessions

    Curious to what Jeff Butler is up to....? Noticed he also posted on Twitter that the "dream is not dead" responding to a tweet about Landmark. Former EverQuest Producer, Jeffrey Butler, Secures $13 Million In Funding For New Start-Up, AVALON. According to the company site he's the "Lore...

    Marvel Snap

    I'm completely hooked on the game. On Reveal and destroy decks are easy to piece together and cheese through the ranks. I try to keep my competitiveness in check and theorycraft decks. It's pretty mindless fun for me that way. I get competitive enough with MTG so this is a nice change of pace.

    Everquest Confessions

    I think this was what hooked me... I remember on my first server/character finally going out to Guk to see 2-3 guys sitting around the entrance. I held my breath my entire way going with an escort and a few others that were also trusting some dude who gave us SoW and was willing to lead us...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I just wish they would make Agnarr free in honor of the Mac Server. I could go for another classic run. Call me old-fashioned and predictable but I just like making my way to PoP and then I lose interest. I have a blast every time though.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    I'm not sure how accurate but someone had said they had read/watched an interview that Taika had several safeguards in place in Ragnorok that kept him in check but once he achieved the success, they gave him the green light and let him make the movie he wanted. That felt like the case for me...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The last tier of Shadowlands in terms of story wasn't that bad (actually I've enjoyed this recent tier for the most part). Given I despised everything else of Shadowlands and maybe our guild break made this last tier much more tolerable but I just felt the Sylvannas arc was just drawn out way...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think their armor sets have been beyond subpar for a few expansions now. Understanding that bar has been fairly low, I think this is a step up... The paladin could be better but everything else seems to fit the theme well. I just hate to see other games with far more limitations out design...

    Ms. Marvel

    Just binged this series and our family loved it. Completely surprised how good of a family-friendly series this landed. I was expecting this to be cheesy, campy, or something that just didn’t hold my attention but really enjoyed it. I could have cared less about “The Marvels” honestly but...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    I'm usually a MCU fanboy but I can't give this anything much. I nearly walked out of this movie and have only done so in one other movie in my life. The comedy was so poorly delivered and never let up that it was barely tolerable. It hurt my opinion of the character and I don't get why Thor...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I really think that had a great thing going with Varsoon's. Multiple instances of a lot of zones even still but honestly I think they should have opened Splitpaw and Bloodlines probably with Vanilla or a matter of a couple of weeks into it. I also think KoS should have been much quicker than...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    How are you accessing Prestige Homes? May be a silly question but can you get to any of them or only ones within available zones? I was thinking about getting the Felwithe Mansion but was afraid there would be some catch to that since guild halls are not available yet....

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I just happened to see some in-game content rewards through Prime Gaming and loaded it up. I may have popped it open less than 5 times since 2016 but quite surprised how the game has progressed. It's unfortunate that at the time the wave came much quicker than they could grasp but they have...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    We are having a great time but half our guild are suckers for EQ2 and the other had never played it. We've been ultra casual thus far with most of us low 40's / upper 30's. I really hate they are making the expansion unlocks so long though. As casual as we are, DoF coming out September (I...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    We had a blast last night. Several folks had said it felt good to play this type of MMO again. EQ2 is a nice balanced of old school and new things. I'm definitely going to take my time with this since the unlock is so long but I do wish Rise of Kunark was a bit quicker. I think when Wraith...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I feel like everyone begins converging probably in the 30's. It's not until to see folks in the 20's though. I never felt like it was a big deal on PvP servers to get to other zones like the Caves earlier on and Thundering Steppes. I think most people keep their head down and plow through...

    What time do the servers typically open for EQ2 TLPs?

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I wish I could remember raiding in EQ2. I remember having a good time but I have done so much WoW raiding over the years I'm just out of mental space. Our WoW guild really surprised me and said they wanted to try this. A lot of them missed EQ2 due to WoW but i've always been a sucker for the...

    EQ2 TLE - Varsoon server

    I loved the Willowwood.... I can still hear the Elf dude saying that. EQ2 had some really memorable pieces. It's a shame they missed the mark early, had a few good years during WoW's peak, and then fell off like a lead balloon. I really wish they could have address some of their core issues...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I really wish that Wraith Classic would have posted a summer release but everything I'm reading is leaning towards Oct./Nov..... I'm not sure if those are just good guesses or the pattern as I haven't been a big Classic follower but I know our guild is planning on shifting to Wraith Classic...

    Lost Ark Online

    Our guild made it to mid to upper 20's and we are having a blast thus far. Very refreshing. Most of us had dabbled prior to the NA release so it was surprising to see just how many folks came over and really had a great time. It felt like a MMO launch of old without sitting in a chat or...

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    I always like and appreciated the direction of the books. I felt like the readers had an opportunity to "grow up" with the characters. They were dealing with issues that everyone deals with as they grow up in addition to the fact an incredible evil force was attempting to destroy everything...

    Everquest II

    I don't know why I always hope this game gets something that would actually bring me back but it never quite does. I'm sucker for this game too but they have never addressed the core issues of the game and that's frustrating. Still the best AH and housing in any MMO. I liked tradeskilling...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is probably over-generalizing but honestly don't think this is the best thing for WoW. MMO's have shown that not just anyone can make or understand them. Suits and big money people focus on the wrong aspects of the game. Typically the best MMO's have been driven by folks working on...

    Eternals (2021)

    I just finished it and really liked it. I see the complaints and honestly believe it should have been shorter or something to help with pacing. It felt like it should have been bigger but wasn't. It simply just isn't as good as other Marvel movies and that's ok. It just unfortunate it didn't...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think this is 100% spot on. It's really what the roots of the genre was founded upon. It took that D&D fellowship and sense of adventure and brought it to life. Stories that were in the player's hands and evolved as players made decisions. The personalities of the NPCs were not the focus...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That's extremely helpful. I think that's what initially attracted me to GW2 was what appeared to be the ease of getting into. I just can't see what our core friend group, which is our WoW guild, would really get into the easiest. We have probably two groups, semi-casual but lean towards the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Just curious but friends looking to kick around on a MMO for the new year and how would you compare Guild Wars 2 vs Elder Scrolls? Not sure who has the better thing for them into the new year but I've heard good things about both recently. Amazing how many MMO nomads we have with the...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Some friends and I recently spun up a new server with Valheim plus to scratch an itch and then saw this posted.... I don't put a lot of stock into PC Gamer but good for them all the same. Game of the Year - Valheim I hope they are able to get some updates out soon as I really enjoyed this...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    Just finished up and loved it! I thought every actor gave their best performance. I thought Dafoe for the amount of screen time was extremely good. Nearly felt like a Joker-esque performance. Looking forward to the payoffs from this film. Nothing felt forced which was my fear. Fairly well...

    What kills multiplayer games

    For me its the lack of the new for the "Massive" aspect of MMO. You have different goals now than back in the day of EQ so the desire to explore, dungeon crawl, etc. has somewhat shifted to other desires. I feel like every MMO is essentially no different than Diablo. I know a handful of...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    How has the new expansion been thus far? I haven't heard much other than it was a fairly short which seems to be the case with all of their recent expansions. Not sure there was any reason to expect much but was curious.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

    I have enjoyed the series but just feel it has been a lot of missed opportunities. There is a lot of good stuff but is also filled has numerous frustrating pieces to each film. I felt very similar to the Hobbit movies but I think Peter Jackson did a worse job avoiding stupid decisions that...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I've always really enjoyed classic as well. While I didn't like the idea of instancing at first, it's a nice QoL since it's not like a group gets their own private instance with all the camps, I personally really enjoy splitting camps and seeing groups roll through dungeons. That is one thing...
