Here's the thing though... nobody cares. It's just reality. We all know that DBG/DPG is a shitty company ran by shitty people that couldn't give one flying fuck about the game or the players. That's been blatantly obvious for well over a decade. They put out shit expansions with minimal...

No. If you look at my post history, it should be extremely evident that I am an actual human.

Just checked my lottery ticket and the employees at DBG are safe for now because I didn't win... yet. EverQuest isn't a horrible engine. It's not modern by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly isn't horrible in design. The smartest thing they could do would be to take the current...

Its SSG we are talking about here. Those servers wont be left open for 2 years to transfer from. They just did this same thing to Lord of the Rings Online. They said that free transfers would be open until August and that they would reevaluate the old 32bit servers at a later date to...

To answer your first question, when I tried messing around with the emu a long while back, it did start with an empty db with zero eq content/data. The person setting it up can choose to make it all from scratch if they like, but most use a pre-existing database package as a shortcut. As for...

The only thing that I don't understand in this whole ordeal is how running open source software that acts as a server is a violation of anything. I'm not even talking about THJ nor any emulator server directly. I am just talking about the idea of running server software in and of itself. If I...

I don't have an answer to this, but what I would suggest is asking a few different AIs this very question. Ask it how to create a prompt that will give you the same style across multiple iterations. Also, one of the things you can do with AI is ask it to make the prompt for you. This is a...

Ah good point. The 1st is tomorrow. Figured there would be something mentioned in the Scorched Sky thing.

So are they not doing bonus experience this year for the 4th? There's nothing on the forums about it.

Did THJ fuck up by accepting money? Yeah. Duh. You can't make money off of someone else's software. Did Everquest's Fangbreaker server suffer from THJ's emu server? Fuck no. Fangbreaker was a pile of dogshit from design to creation. Fangbreaker was a failure because of the people at...

We had to put our dog down this weekend, so never got around to doing anything.

Thinking that the plugin system can be used to turn on/off features as well as choose which version of a feature to use if turned on. In fact, I should have AI re-write that to be a plugin system and each plugin can have one or more features as part of that plugin. Example: Evil Forest Of...

Added ability to have plugins for the server code with versioning.

Here's a deep search answer for that...

Yes, AI can create game assets in a specific style. Here’s how you can approach it: 1. **AI Art Generation Tools**: Use tools like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, or DALL·E to generate 2D or 3D assets (sprites, textures, characters, environments). These tools allow you to specify styles via text...

Sounds like what I wanted personas to actually be. I can't for the life of me understand why DPG doesn't make a server like... Pick your starting persona At level 5 choose a second persona to level Every 5 levels on any persona unlocks another persona slot Set your active personas at anytime...

I never checked out THJ, so help me out here. This was a multi-class EQ right?

I'm going to mess with this some this weekend to see how much AI can fuck it up lol.

I believe that is the Veils of Anduin. Freaking awesome story line there.

I am about 1/3rd of the way through Legacy of Morgoth right now, and I completely agree. Corsairs of Umbar was a better expansion in my opinion. The only thing I find cool about Legacy of Morgoth are the sandstorms that pop up every so often. That's a cool effect honestly. The quests, as...

Ok this actually looks interesting. I'd love to test this on one of my streams. Anybody know if any devs come here?

That being said, the next expansion you will run in to has a failed game mechanic as well... the epic battle system. It's like they went through two expansions in a row trying different shit and afterwords was like... ok that fucking sucked. Let's get back to doing what we do best. LOL...

The war steeds are a mixed bag honestly. I like them for their speed to get across large areas, but I hate using them in mounted combat. Also, they were HORRIBLE on the 32bit servers. They are tolerable on the 64bit servers at least. If you can get past the mounted combat shit, the stories...

Why would they go after their friends and family?

I've been playing through the latest expansion, Legacy of Morgoth. You can check out my playlist for it here...

Got a PAW group last night and banged out level 70 on the wizard. Now just grinding AAs. 230ish AAs so far.

You basically have to have some idea of how to do what you are wanting AI to help you on. For instance, I am a programmer. That's what I have done for the past three decades of my career. So, I understand programming, databases, networking, etc. Am I a MMORPG developer? No. Never made one...

You're not wrong if you look at it as telling AI to make a game and saying GO! That is what fools and morons do. AI is a tool. It's not real intelligence. It's not Data from Star Trek Next Generation. You have to look at AI as a tool, and use it accordingly. You don't look at a hammer and...

We all are.

Creating player and monster models for a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in Unity can be significantly enhanced with AI-driven tools. These tools can generate 2D concept art, 3D models, animations, and textures, streamlining the development process. Below, I outline some...

AI can add systems to the game, create character models, create monster models, create sounds, create music, create textures, etc. If we put the time in to it, we CAN make our own MMORPG. It's going to suck mega ass at first. No doubt about it. But, thanks to our AI overlords, we CAN make...

AI won't build you a MMORPG from start to finish, but it will make all the individual parts. Here's the beginnings of a free open licensed MMORGP created by GROK.

Updated REST API Below is the updated REST API, adding authentication endpoints with BCrypt for password hashing. Setup Instructions MySQL Database: Apply the ALTER TABLE SQL to add PasswordHash and Salt columns. Ensure the Players and Inventory tables exist (as per previous skeleton)...

Setup Instructions MySQL Database: Execute the SQL above to create the database and tables. Update the connection string in the REST API with your MySQL credentials. REST API: Create a new ASP.NET Core Web API project. Install MySqlConnector via NuGet. Add the above API code to the project...

Setup Instructions: Install Unity: Use Unity 2022 LTS or later. Install Netcode for GameObjects: Open Package Manager in Unity. Add package from git URL: com.unity.netcode.gameobjects. Scene Setup: Create a new 3D scene. Add a plane as the ground (scale: 100x1x100). Create an empty...

Love it or hate it, AI is going to change the fucking world. Ducehbag companies want to milk us consumers for every dollar we have by using the nostalgia we have for their games by giving us as little as humanly possible while charging us as much as they can get away with to play the same shit...

Ok, so they're fucking delusional.

As it is, the only reason I am still playing on Teek is because I have at least a half a year left on my cancelled subscription for my main account. I'd like to check out TSS and SoF in era... possibly HoT as well. But that's it. The TLP servers are just fucking boring at this point, and...

I'm not sure if DBG is just fucking delusional or just plain trying to find anybody else to blame for their incompetence as a company in the MMO space. First off, the Fangbreaker server ruleset was pure garbage. Nobody wanted what they made. There didn't have to be any EMUs out there in...
