    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Things that immediately jump out at me: There is a point where the player is struggling to log in, after hitting play at character select he gets punted back to the login screen several times. When low on health the character moves slowly (like EQ) The naked human model looks slightly...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I wonder if pre alpha will essentially be a single starting area w/ a relative level cap of something like 15-25 ish. I also wonder if it will be an ongoing phase or if it will be several "weekend" type events with PA1, PA2, PA3 etc.

    Besteva got banned because he ignored a tell from a GM (The GM didn't indicate he was a GM) and continued killing some mobs. They claimed he was automating because he didn't respond to this tell. I bet Remdag got a blowjob when DBG saw that he cleaned out over 1000 krono banning this one guy and...

    On paper guild banks are probably some of the shadiest accounts around. I don't like keeping big krono on my account so I'll sell raid loot then parcel the krono to the banker so that's immediately a one way transaction. Sometimes we'll award people bonus krono for attending raids (just a random...

    Hopefully we'll see Halflings in the next stream. That will make 6 of 9 races complete I believe.

    One of our guild bank accounts got banned w/ 500 krono on it for using multiple IP's in one day, triggering the new account sharing ban. It happened several weeks ago. Account sharing has been a staple of my EQ experience since I started on TLP's. When you're trying to be on 24/7 for a launch...

    An AMA here would be awesome but Brad would have to be retarded to agree to it. We'd be more likely to get an interview between a_skeleton_03 and Brad where a_skeleton_03 could ask him a bunch of questions we prepared in advance.

    Your best bet for open world mobs on launch day will be Dain, CT 2.0, Velketor, Gozzrem, Telkorenar. You'll have to weigh the morale impact of contesting open world targets and possibly losing vs being able to walk into your fully spawned Kael / ToV / PoG / PoF instances and get a ton of gear...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    We did that one time a few years ago and then a wave of raid changes came out to pretty thoroughly nerf it. EQ raid content was also pretty significantly buffed which was a positive and necessary change.

    When I gave the 9-13 day to max number I was talking about static groups that sleep in shifts and play 24/7 for those days. People asking for more than that are crazy, it will crush the casual population because once it goes far beyond that players will not feel like they're making meaningful...

    I always have a predicted time and track my adherence to it pretty meticulously. I usually pass the time during long grinds by recalculating projected time to max level based on current progress.

    I'd think they ease you into your character with about 20 levels of relatively easy grind before slowing down once you're invested in your character, your friends and your guild.

    There will be bots and cheaters for sure. Hopefully they come up with some good options to stymie that a bit but it's inevitable regardless. If the game never launches then nothing was really lost, but it will really suck if it comes out, is enjoyable (to its niche audience) but is overrun by...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think Dullahan is right on the money. The leveling process should be slow. I think the best scenario is about 250 hours of grind time to max level which will have players moving around exploring and trying out multiple zones in each level range as well as experimenting with quests and...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I can't speak for the other posters, but if raid content is not instanced then my intended playtime is probably like 24-30 hours on 4 hours off or something similar until max level, followed average sessions of 4-12 hours depending on what I'm doing. #TeamNoLife

    I am fairly confident that Joppa (Chris Perkins) saved Pantheon. As to whether or not he will carry it to completion remains to be seen, but it definitely seems like Joppa was the driving force for this coming back from the dead.

    Everyone here has heard the litany of failures in his past. I don't understand why every page has to have them reposted. You can have a positive comment on the game or his personal work on it without also bringing up the past decade of failures every time you do so. Guys, Brad's game is...

    I hope we don't see a ton of feature creep. I'd rather a few more zones than another feature most people won't use. I saw a while back one of their zone designers was the guy who did Guk, arguably the best dungeon in classic EQ. People who argue against parsing make me want to never log into...

    That's exactly what they do. They take a nominal force down to the PD engage spot and then we show up and they gate out. I'd rather we just didn't bother but I am sure the one time I say fuck it she will spawn five minutes later.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    For sure. We don't really care about anything but PD so if they zone in and it's like Nexona and Druushk up we probably won't even bother but sometimes we do batphone it just because fuck them. Earlier in Kunark they sniped a PD from us while we were in an instance. It was strictly my fault...

    I can't bring myself to wade through the last few pages of awful here. Kunark is tough on guilds because the content is so worthless there is little reason to play. As others start doing poorly we start getting a lot of new apps so it all works in our favor. Velious can't come soon enough...

    We've only stopped doing them on open world VS kills, we still do them every week at our instances. Since Kunark launched we've done 18 FM picks and 15 WW picks for members. We'd still do them at o/w VS but it takes like 60 people to open one of those pickzones and we're not trying to get 60...

    My favorite thing is when you actually play at least 80% legit and just become a valuable part of your server community before eventually retiring after several years of successful raiding where you never griefed anyone w/o being provoked. I guess that's just me though.
