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

    I think it might not count time spent zoning etc for "play" time whereas session time is your total time logged in. Just played on Aradune to grind to 50 w/some friends. Now that we're all done, time to close the book.

    Code of Conduct was updated a few days ago: https://help.daybreakgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/230629007-What-are-the-EverQuest-Rules-of-Conduct- Highlights: Maybe I am wrong but I think most of the spoilered ones here are new or old rules added back after a hiatus.

    Alright below is some stuff to assist folks messing around on Aradune and Rizlona. It ranges from exploits to tips and tricks. Some of you will know a lot of it already. Also included is a list of actual ZEMs we have right now. Don’t believe the rumors about them “flattening” ZEMs. Final note...

    FWIW the top live guild is the original top TLP guild. Once they reached live they’ve been the first guild to clear basically (maybe literally?) every expansion since.

    I miss when LD characters became NPC killing machines that ran around zones killing everything until the server finally DC’d them.

    I wonder if any of them are affiliated with the old MMO Rubies of Eventide.

    The first few TLPs we didn't have pickzones and it was fine. The big issue was newbie zone content because you have thousands of players packing into like 5 zones all at once. They did picks just for those at first (North Qeynos, WFP, Nektulous etc) and it worked very well. Slippery slope...

    TLP raids are far harder than P99 raids, that's for sure. Classic TLP raid buffs: 1. Mobs have 4x the HP of original classic. This is closer to Velious mob HP than it is to original classic. 2. They mitigate 60% of all incoming damage (This is calculated after AC etc). 3. Being within like 200...

    I think the first group on Aradune will hit 50 in about 44-50 hours played. I'd bet krono that Plane of Fear is not open on Aradune on Saturday at 2pm EST.

    Honestly the 40 slot 100% WR bag is the single most worthwhile purchase you'll ever make on a TLP. I think $20 is cheaper than normal too, so I'd def purchase it for your cleric at least.

    I once guild removed an Enchanter when we killed his charm pet and found two of these on his mob during a Vox raid.

    Varies wildly depending on what pet you use but generally charm pets are about 3-4x the DPS of a Mage pet from an equivalent level Mage. There are some leet charm mobs that are far better than that but they tend to get nerfed when discovered by more than a few people.

    This was one of the unfinished Kunark quests which developers were able to fix and fully implement on servers. I think they did it back in like 2017.

    This isn't caused by boxing at all, it's a time when Harm Touch did 2,500 damage and VS had 16khp. Harm Touch was fixed like 8 years ago though, so no big deal now.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm not very knowledgeable on later level Necromancers.The changes seemed good for Shaman/Druid, it's basically just making it so that you don't need to stack multiple dots from the same line, it increases the damage and thus the DPS, reduces the number of spells you need to cast / mem and...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's going live before the new TLP servers yes but this revamp is only like level 70+ spells so it won't impact the new servers until they do the lower level spells or until those servers reach level 70+ content (1.5 years from now). Patches occur monthly, so there is a small chance that we...

    On launch day a few hours before servers are scheduled to go live I'm probably going to drop a dump of small techniques and exploits you can use to help you during the grind on these servers. I'll also include a list of the new ZEMs and some mob HP parses for you guys. Dropping it the day of to...

    Congratulations, getting suspended on the forums is a rite of passage. On the plus side forum accounts are free so it is a meaningless gesture tbh. At least you know you made someone butthurt enough to report you.

    Not sure what you count as bombing but I expect Aradune to be massively popular at least through PoP. I doubt it will reach live but basically zero TLPs besides Phinny and Selo will reach live with any guilds left. There are already over ten guilds recruiting pre launch, several are “super...

    If they delayed the opening of Hate/Fear/Sky in classic TLP it would enhance the experience quite a bit. You'd actually have a reason to camp all that Kedge gear, do the Sol Ro Temple quests etc. Right now it's just like... If I am going to be 50 by day 3-4 and fully planar by day 6-8, I have no...

    I wish solo grinding was more effective. On P99 it’s the ultimate grinding method, on TLP it’s a waste of time.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    About to pick this back up after not playing since about April 15th. Any highlights on major changes in the last month? I stopped my last campaign right when they were stopping daily patches and moving to stable / experimental builds.

    Na just a spectator on this. Just going to watch the race since there are a good number of hardcore guilds, very confident ”That’s EQ Baby” has it in the bag though.

    The top guild is going to be Atabishi’s. It’s the one with the dumb name. A good number of Faceless guys are in it.

    It does matter. If you pick anything besides DE for the combo you're doing it wrong. Though if you plan to play on launch day Nektulous will be a clusterfuck. Toxxulia (Erudite) or Steamfont (Gnome) are better for a nice opening.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    ME1 was the best game, it actually felt like an RPG. The rest became more shooter. Which ME was it that had like 5 dif weapons for the entire game? I remember ME1 you had hundreds of items and mods, loved every second of it even the Mako sequences.

    It’s bittersweet to reflect on how a lot of the original guys like Hutch, Vhalen, Aradune, and others were basically young guys playing D&D who brought their campaign to life for us. Lucan, Mayong, The Irontoe Brigade, all straight from their D&D adventures and shared with all of us. Hutch made...

    It’s EQ so as long as you aren’t so drug addled that you are drooling into your keyboard it’s pretty simple to do all the required pulls. That said, the skill ceiling is high and you can do some hilarious and amazing things if you become talented with it but those are not typically necessary...

    I don't think there are, a lot of out of era trash drops have been removed over the last two TLP's without much discussion. There might be some super secret spots I am not aware of though.

    With Cleric/Ench you can do some hilarious things that you probably never thought were possible in era just as a duo. Like others have said though the window for that style of play is short. Monk/Sham used to be the classic duo but the further you go the more the Monk will fall short with...

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

    Just remember if you decide to use the Monk to pull you'll have to turn off bard songs or else you'll chain aggro to the Bard once you FD. If you do go w/ that duo I def recommend pulling strictly via Bard.

    In classic it's probably a Troll SK worshiping Cazic Thule. All good race/classes hate you, and even the evil ones prefer you worship Innoruuk or RZ.

    For raiding you should be using Wu's Fist from Sky until you upgrade to Primal / Gharn's / FoN shit.
