Technically it was a better game, plus it was way easier on the masses, no downtime, easy path to 60, solo to boot. Etc... But it also had a lot of the soul of EQ era MMO missing.

Might not be a bad thing, really. everyone needs a fucking break here and watch some minecraft vids.

Definitely better for the industry for sure. Intel has been nothing-burgering fr the better part of the last 6 yrs with their "10%" better bullshit from gen to gen. Maybe now this will fore them to really step up their game.

Sadly this is the truth. Too bad.

This thread is turning mighty gay, where is the mod-rod?

I totally agree with this. They have over 17 yrs of content they could redo, add to, refresh, and add back in to the prog servers.They did cool shit in the past like revamp dungeons for different levels for short times, or the whole Fabled stuff every march, etc... Plus they know exactly what...

Well when you have over 15K-20K, depending on class from lv 51-105, thats a shit ton of AAs to grind out, lol. Thank god for auto granting. There is no way to catch up if your halting regular level progression every 5 levels or 10 to grind out a few thousand AAs just to stay ahead of the content.

LoY gave us Dulaks harbor, cryptr of Nadox, Gulf of gunthak, a few other places, and a few raids, really small expansion, Frogs, which IMO is one of the most ugliest races ever. Ldon gave us those instanced dungeons that would randomly generate per your level, it also gave us augments and...

This fucking game was so magical and addictive back then. I got my first PC at home around 1999 and my wife bought me this shit for Xmas. it was literally my first PC game. It was a dream come true for a hardcore RPG addict from the console days of SNES and PS1. It was like a hardcore RPG with...

^^ Thats right, I forgot about the bonus. Yeah it was a bonus before the auto grant of today. BTW you can turn auto grant off or on if you like to do it the old school way, but im not sure why you ever would. Yeah, on live my 93ish box crew have pretty much auto-granted about 8000-9000 AA...

This is huge and it was never intended to be this way with how our system was set up. It was always supposed to be people stepping into gov from the pivate sector, doing their just time in the public sector, then stepping back out to public sector and continuing their regular business/whatever...

Headshot, SK swarming, Decapitate, Bard Swarming and others were all neutered back in 2014, well before Daybreak bought SoEs shit. About the same time they started auto-granting AAs. Ranger had a spell which would send a ton of arrows, the hail of arrows line, so this allowed multiple head...

Like I said I would like to see some more tuning to post velious stuff, like luclin. Hardly ever went there. Adding in some more ports in luclin even to some velious stuff like he did for vanilla and kuanrk. Some of those luclin places are a pain in the ass to get to lugging around 4 toons so I...

Me too. I hit 65, tried to do some PoP stuff, did the first tier unlocks the PoJ trial thing, got into second tier and it was a big jump. And not having a shaman to slow is tearing a new asshole in my tank. Tried to do velious raids but could not do it with my 4 box, so there really is nothing...

Yet you just cant keep your fingers off of touching all of us in the anus, can you?

Looks like a raid equipped 1% SK (Which is pretty much what this dude is) with full barrage of buffs doing group content. So lets nerf all SK. I sure as hell cant do that on my group geared SK. Granted its silly, but come on. Hey I just learned that raid geared toons make group content trivial...

Eh, aggro was never an issue with SK, pop one aggro spell maybe 1- 2 times a fight if you see aggro meter getting yellow. If multiple mobs SKs have a few AA that does AE type aggro. This is of course coming from a boxing setup with Ranger, Shaman as other boxes along with caster DPS and healer...

SK and ENC just got huge nerfs on Test. Test Update 02/08/2017 - Patch Notes and Discussions | EverQuest Forums

LOL, Funcom, never change.

I for one welcome the similarity to EQ. Its been like almost 20 yrs since EQ hit back in late 90s. And most of the 2Ks up till present day were filled with garbage McWoW clones. Maybe the whole EQ type experience should be revisited with a modern more streamlined twist, dont you think? I do.

It could be the other way around too, if they were duds, wed be heraing about it too. I have a feeling its all hyped up AMD type shit like they always do. Like they did with their Bulldozers, Pyledrivers or their latest the RX480 which was supposed to be like a 1070 but for $150 cheaper. Well...

I never really understood why they had to put in those unnecessary cockblocks. I mean the popspckers are gonna poopsock their way to victory no matter how many key and cockblock quests you throw at them, all it does is it hurts your bread and butter, the schlep core gamers.(Which I was one of...

Not sure, but i would venture like 8-24 hrs before the chips drop retail which are due in early March last time I heard.

Not bad for a true 8 core. Still waiting for the NDA to drop, then well know the real truth whether garbage or decent.

The hard zones didnt start until tier 2-3 anyway. I was doing PoD, PoJ too, lol. Yeah, i think even on Phinny, its a bit different than EQ live back in 2001. This is not the same code. There was many many passes along the years that made shit easier by leaps and bounds. Even the people you are...

Best time I had was on a obscure emu server. Finally got to see all those places and truly explore them one by one from top to bottom. 4 box crew, all mobs had 1/2 hp all PHs were gone and he had teleporters set up that let you TP right into the dungeons. sounds like cake, right? Well maybe...

If i remember correctly EQII was also in play before WoW beta. So it was a double hit for EQ. Not only did they release EQII which drove many people away because EQII was also 150% less brutal than EQ ever was, then the WoW beta hit and drew away the rest, save the diehards that probably still...

Not so much during vanilla, but yeah after Kunark and especially Velious that shit didnt matter at all. People were rolling Ogre and Troll enchanters and shit (kidding)

The only ones making mmos now are the asians, they have that shit down to a production line. Maybe a few kickstarter things like this one is all thats left.

Its just funny how far neckbeards will go for some of this shit, considering neked corpses rot in like what? 3-4 hours? Thats some massive dedication there. also, there is no test servers for progression, as far as I know there is only one test and the test is for live. I guess they could make one?

LOL, so bank corpses, ding 65 within 20 min of PoP opening, finish all raids first 2 days, then farm them every 6 days and AA grind for 8 or 12 weeks, however long it is. How fun. While producer says Its ok this time to bank corpses and pretty much bypass content because they didnt give enough...

So they never fixed the shitty unresponsive interface because it was all tied to animations issue?

Except its not minecraft, its a legit mmo. Shit to grind, shit to level etc... etc....

A couple of days ago i ventured down into the bowels of my basement to see my 15 yr old plaing something new on his xboner. I asked what it was and he said Trove, mmorpg. So its not dead genre yet if they can get 15 yr olds to play. Then i told him he should play a real mmorpg. Trove | A Voxel...

I hear they really started to crack own on that shit over the past few months. There were forums out there like "red" that you could buy shit, but most of the sellers have vanished in the last few months, probably because they got the ban.

How many times can you do this vanilla-PoP progression before you start pulling your hair out. I mean, yeah, I get it, it was good, nostalgic, but at some point this just seems like some of these peeps need their heads checked, fucking ground hog day. Same with P99 players that are now stuck in...

Yeah I tried Phinny for a few days in dec and just could not stomach the slow ass exp rate and the shitty 1-20 game where youre lacking severely the skills and spells and no fucking gear. Also you cannot box on Phinny unless its a true 2nd box, as in 2nd computer, lol. This is still better IMO...
