    Everquest - Live Servers

    I mean, let's consider the reality: I actually think there was a war called the "meme war" and that I'm a "veteran" because I "fought in it" OR that's just a silly fucking joke and you're a bit of a bitch for not having a sense of humor We'll have to decide on our own which of those two...

    The funny thing, my real politics are probably significantly more conservative than people like you think they are. But am I really going to get super into that in a venue like the guild discord or websites like this one? Not really, I'm a meme war veteran, I learned a long time ago that you...

    None of them were booted other than you, though. And after he booted you Zaide said it was because he didn't like you lol.

    I was actually sad to see Caligula booted, I think certain types of imbecile are good for the entertainment value. I've actually said as recently as this week "I wish we still had Caligula." We had a few people emo out of the guild that used to be good fodder for daily trolling in our "no...

    Except in cases where NPC power was massively nerfed. You guys are jumping on Torrid calling THJ an easy mode emu but that basically appears to be what it was? I also think the THJ guys had made a prior emu that was explicitly easy mode, with a number of things carrying over from it. From what...

    I didn't play THJ, so if the claim is that mobs weren't nerfed I'm curious about: 1. Did classic bosses with DT retain those Death Touch abilities? 2. Did THJ spawn the full 12 member Rathe Council with their native PB AE and native respawn mechanics? 3. The various bosses that "banish"...

    I was never a huge poster on that sub but I'm glad to see that cuck got pushed out.

    Reddit isn't FoH. My main account has been warned / suspended 3 times then permabanned for "glorifying violence", I was able to reverse the permaban with repeated filing for appeals but that account is now back to just being on its "last strike." Reddit uses AI to do a lot of its rule...

    Just randomly hosting in countries that don't have reciprocal enforcement treaties with the U.S. would not have protected THJ. The judge's order enjoins the devs as individuals, they would not be protected if the servers were in Russia or Cuba or some place, because the devs live in the United...

    The first TLP with fully instanced raiding was released less than 1 year after she said that. I'll also note--a lot of FOHers who dick ride games like Pantheon, M&M, etc specifically cite instancing of content as one of the worst things ever. While I've always thought that's stupid AF, Holly...

    I never got into the WoWC stuff but Holly's job with WoW is a lot easier than her job with EQ, due to WoW just being a much more profitable / successful game. If a random person ran Microsoft for a year I doubt they'd do a good job, but it also wouldn't cause the company to bankrupt because big...

    Back when I was TLPing on Lockjaw, Jchan was known as the "good dev", because almost all their devs were crap. We'd have SOE/DBG tell us "we can't create a login queue you just have to suffer through nonstop login server crashes." Then Jchan posts "actually I can probably make a login queue."...

    Not really. The law of nature states that the animal that can consume the most resources is "winning", just like the fattest bear is the most powerful in their area. Fat people are the alphas, skinny people are actually the sheep that exist only to work in service to the fat kings.

    Says someone who doesn't know me at all. I've infamously been raid logging min-efforting TLPs for years. I'm the opposite of someone who time sinks a TLP. I never do any of the autist group stuff, barely keep up with AAs.

    That was my understanding but when I said that in Discord the other day a THJ player told me they haven't changed the boss powers, the bosses just don't have MOTM, but player power is higher because of the THJ hyper-itemized gear. No idea which is true just going off what I heard. Since I'm...

    The main innovation being "host a server that's free to play." Because that is what is most important to about 90% of emu players, anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. If you ever talk to emubots, they will often admit they play emu specifically because it is free. Now, some of the emus are...

    That definitely isn't discussed enough when people opine about the EQ code base. The world EQ launched in was the world of shrink-wrapped software. Games had to launch at a specific time to make the money work, and by and large future maintainability of the project didn't matter much because...

    The thing about the Quarm deal capping players at 1200, I feel like if the eq emu login server didn't report client numbers, DBG is never going to know how many people are on an emu server unless the emu operators intentionally broadcast it. I can't see Daybreak spending time trying to prove how...

    Yeah, personas almost certainly live on your "character file" which that file being large is a major contributor to zone times. That being said, early era personas are likely to not meaningfully increase zone time--the character file has to get pretty "fat" before it really slows zoning down...

    I do notice the guy so concerned Faceless was going to implode from bad morale because we lost OW Sev the other day doesn't seem to have similar concerns about a guild that socked Trakanon for 6 hours only to lose it. Weird huh.

    The thing is, at some point are you a guild or are you a gear farming crew? They aren't 100% the same thing. I can't think of an MMO guild scenario where my goal would be to not at least clear all the raid content. Maybe it makes sense afterward to do things like deeper splits of Kael where you...

    Point of order: killing AoW at day 12 is actually fairly bad, the only real scenario I can imagine for it is if a raiding guild in that era simply had like 2-3 warriors and no others. Most servers I have done even some of the fairly casual guilds get an AoW down in the first week. Now certainly...

    Vulak is canonically the end boss of Velious, because Sleeper isn't a boss you kill, just one you trigger by killing 4 dragon warders who aren't particularly hard, and lore wise Vulak is positioned as the Velious boss. On a weird server where a lower tier guild kills the first Vulak but then...

    This is the way frankly, the # of people I have seen burn themselves out and even develop weird real life problems trying to attend every batphone is high. No guild should be based on you individually making every batphone. Attend what you can IMO. Where I'm running a guild on live and not...
