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

    Lockjaw and Ragefire didn't have instancing but they did have massive populations that never got a shot at content they wanted to do aside from that temporary forced rotation experiment. Lockjaw was a few weeks in to Kunark when Phinny launched and by then only one guild had killed Trak and one...

    We'll see a TLP fail one of these times but I don't expect it to be either of these. I wish they would retool things to try and get people to stick it out longer. That fucking PoP/LDoN stretch is so unnecessary. Get people to check out GoD and beyond.

    Taking the base game and making an EQPlus with updated loot tables and encounters with another pass at a class balance would be sweet. I expect it to never happen.

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

    I don't want to level the same way every time but as these servers have progressed through the years changes have been made that have slowly sanded away alternative strategies. If leveling was just generally fast it wouldn't matter what you were doing. That's not what we've got. From level one...

    A reevaluation of charm in conjunction with setting a new, higher exp base rate would be alright but just nerfing charm reads to me as "make leveling take longer please" when that's already the shitty part of the game.

    Quality of life change from many years ago. These servers use mostly the same everything as live servers so they wouldn't have the ability to change that even if they wanted.

    If you haven't seen a guild so stuffed full of the fucking things that a pair goes to an applicant Monk for one DKP than you are a double peasant. One of the best parts of these servers is drowning people in ridiculous shit.

    You typically punch King Tormax during the first fifteen minutes of Velious if you didn't decide to put some shitter dragons to death first. Also, these bad boys exist. Relevant saves, hit points, stats casters don't typically cap, armor class and more. People with Golden Efreeti Boots in...

    Hey Mangler folks, Did the Magician Temple of Sol Ro pet focus items work during Classic? Like this - The Temple of Sol Ro was added during Classic and these items provided a small boost to pet strength also during Classic. Is their focus disabled on TLPs now along with all of the others...

    Most of those things aren't actual flags. They're just things with a flag-like appearance or color scheme. A clothing company did not take an actual flag and sew it in to a shirt for example. A pillow with red and blue stripes with twenty stars isn't a flag either.

    Vision is better and maps exist on TLPs so it's not a big deal whatever someone picks now but back in the day the Erudite SK story went more like this - Die in Tox, lose your newbie tunic, die again, take the boat to Qeynos, get killed by the guards, take the boat again, jump off at Qeynos and...

    Other random things - There is a break point at 75 agility so if you end up as some kind of ogre or erudite consider bumping up your 70 base at creation if you're going to be actually standing in front of things. Enchanter pets will dual wield from the level 2 pet forward if you give them...

    If you're making a decision based on what appear to be better base stats on the high elf for Enchanters than it doesn't matter. Just go with double dark elf. Dark elves also get a Hide racial that can be used as a way of breaking charm without spending mana. That combined with the simplicity of...

    Maps! The default maps provided don't include every zone. They're mostly starter areas or zones connected to them. You can replace/update the in-game maps to include everything everywhere. You can get a map pack at EQ Map Files – Brewall's EverQuest Maps and just follow the instructions. Make a...

    It's not a two-box server. It's a more restrictive version of prior truebox rule sets and it's launching at the same time as the first TLP in a while with easy go nuts boxing.

    If you're planning on doing some raiding in Classic you might prefer a different race/deity due to its proximity to somewhere useful. Surefall Glade gets you reasonably close to Vox for example but at least wood elves can get to a Wizard spire with no trouble and later Firoina Vie. The instanced...

    I'm not 100% but I don't think even think charisma has anything to do with the Lull lines. It's a tertiary check on mezzes and charms only no real reason to stack. I can't remember how it came about exactly but a few years ago we started getting some definitive information on what exactly stats...
