    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Na he means how there is too much info a player wouldn't normally have like even in the top chat Innoruuk is "Innoruuk000" and player names in the /who are all links, spell names appear after "so and so is casting".

    My guess is the SS was posted by one of the GM's, so you're just seeing GM hax.

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

    I'd say 99% of the time people don't hold grudges for competition or guild drama after a few months. Some of the Truci guys I played with were really awesome like Ethiria and Rhaegar. Even playing TLP's since 2011 there are maybe 5-6 people from that whole time that I would oppose playing with.

    “After discussing with the team, we wanted to announce a change to the upcoming Progression Servers and also make something a little clearer. Due to the feedback we've received, we're going to be removing the PoP locking from both servers, allowing them to unlock expansions at the established...

    Ragefire launched at 9 EST May 21st (this was after the botched launch w/ level 50's the previous day) Nagafen died at 2am EST on May 24th. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/ragefire-update-thread.221074/

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

    There's been a precedent since the very beginning w/ Sleeper/Combine that you often need two progression servers to balance the population / server load. I think Ragefire tried to launch solo and had a massive queue to log in and (before pickzones) you'd have like 100 people in Lguk fighting...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Manglers first 50s were some nobody mage guys I believe, and it was slower than average for the exp rate. Looks like it was somewhere between 48 and 60 hours after launch to get 50. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/ding-50-mangler.256305/

    They had to make an intern learn how to play EQ so he can ban people who he thinks are cheating ;)

    Sleeper, Combine, Fippy, Vulak, Ragefire, Lockjaw, Agnarr, Coirnav, Mangler, Selo. These two will be 11 and 12 assuming we don't count Quarm and Mayong which were more event servers than TLP. FWIW, I think they will backpedal on the PoP lock for at least one of these servers. The precedent is...

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

    TL;DR Aradune = 1 box, 3 month unlocks. Rizlona = Any # of boxes, 3 month unlocks. Supposedly real GM's will police and enforce rules? I'll believe it when I see it.

    Meanwhile P99 is attracting 2500 during peak times. I wonder how a fresh TLP that launched two weeks ago would have been reflected in P99 / Emu numbers.

    I don't really understand the attack spam criticism here when you could walk through FF7 trivially by pressing one button in every combat scenario.

    They talked about the upcoming Darkpaw move like 14 months ago but only actually did it like 2 months ago. Holly left within the first month after that. Just spitballing because I am too lazy to look up all the dates but this should all be pretty close.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    DBG no longer runs EQ, the EQ team was split off to a subsidiary studio I believe called Darkpaw Games or DPG. Like two weeks after that happened Holly left DBG/DPG to work for Blizzardon WoW. Now Jchan, one of the former tech folks is filling the Holly role.

    Mass boxing is a can of worms for sure. Sometimes you pick up guys who box huge numbers, I'm talking guys with 80-120 boxes. You get these guys in your guild and they can have a weird impact because they pollute the power dynamics. Ideally every member has one vote and weighs in more or less...

    That’s actually the best part of P99, if you /petition an issue a GM actually shows up and deals with it. After playing on TLPs for 10 years it was crazy to see people enforcing rules.

    I've been running a campaign for a while now, with the current lockdown we just swapped to Discord + Tabletop Simulator on Steam, it's pretty simple. Our campaign is set in Norrath, using the EQRPG rules from the old books, which is basically a modified 3.0/3.5 system. The party is level 7...

    Not all emu boxes are created equally. 90% of the time you make a character on an emu server unless it's like P99 you should assume next year that server won't exist. A select few are really high quality and worth playing though imo.

    I think like 6-12 months ago they did a riposte nerf which they said was due to computation burden or something. Someone else here probably remembers it better than me though.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Leveling on P99 vs TLP is dramatically different. On P99 solo or duo is the way to go. On TLP you’d be dead last. Back in 2011 Vulak and Fippy had probably the worst exp system. I don’t mean slowest though, just the most stupid. Their way of making it more “classic” was to put a 2% cap on exp...
