    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    There are tons of stories like: Where people who have nothing to benefit from lying about why they got banned claim to have either used MQ2 innocuously or not even use it but have it installed. It's obfuscated by there being a LOT of these reports whenever a ban wave happens with people...

    I haven't started yet but yeah the gap really makes it difficult to be emotionally involved. Does the audiobook come with a massive recap?

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    What do you think I am pretending? I have no position on the truthiness of the vote, only that the server will be as dangerous for MQ2 users as @Ikkan said.

    Yep. And there will be a lot of salty anti boxers who believe the vote was rigged by a small number of megaboxers and go to war against anyone they think uses MQ2.

    EQ TLP(s) 2026 Part 1: PvP or go cuddle your mother

    I only 6box, no armies. I've never used MQ2, only ISBoxer. I guess MQ2 will be enabled on this server? But it and ISBoxer aren't actually condoned. People claimed to get whacked purely for using MQ2 all the time, but who knows what they were doing with it.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah. Much like I've whined about in Divinity , the trend of recent CRPGs is to move away from real-time with pause games like Pathfinder, Dragon Age, Ultima, BG1, etc and toward fully turnbased games like BG3 and JRPGs. The turn-based games are popular with the crowd that likes RPGs, so people...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    What's funny about the boxing conversation is that there are few games with the kind of simple but group-required gameplay where boxing is extremely advantageous. Someone like me that plays EQ to box, rather than boxes to play EQ doesn't have much to choose from. As in, idgaf about the rewards...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I hope they don't try the truebox approach, it just increases the entry cost which is fiiiine but you still have these deluxe crews running around. I'd rather have a boxing server + a stringent no boxing server. The no boxing server doesn't allow multiple IPs, VPNs, etc, doesn't support /follow...

    At some point they condense it quite a bit, and the longer the book goes on the less it's repeated. I still skip through the stat sections though. The stat pages in this genre make sense for printed books but they need to do something different for audio books.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I know you're being facetious but I would never box more than a group in any game. I can totally understand why people would want a no-boxing server though. It feels pretty bad to look for a group in a zone that's got several hyper-capable box crews dominating the best hunting spots that want...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Nah I'd only 6box. Maybe 5box if I'm playing with my old man. If it's super simple and I'd just steamroll everything I'd probably get bored. Original EQ was still difficult enough for a full group if you were being ambitious. Maybe they'll add that kind of content to MnM.

    "articles were circulating several months ago about how Netflix was instructing shows to have the characters state their actions out loud, so that people not looking at the screen would know what's going on." I'm pretty sure the Robin's entire role was to narrate the show for phone addicts.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    How good is multiboxing in MnM? Specifically how much group synergy, combat movement and challenging PvE content is there? EQ is so conducive to boxing because classes synergize, especially in later levels, and there's not a bunch of goofy mechanics to deal with.

    I hadn't heard of that: Kinda cool. Seems like this could be a game mode in Palworld though. Adding the ability to collect most Pals via farming is totally reasonable, along with anything else you need.

    My desire to see Thrawn in action was 100% killed by both the casting of this fat dork And the writing in that season that made him stupid. Kill Thrawn off-screen, let Luke shows up every now and then voice by Mark and is CGI, ala Mando. Make an entirely new plot that is basically Game of...

    Yeah there was no explanation of wtf the military was thinking, which could've been solved by Linda Hamilton being the general sent to clean up the mess made by rogue researchers or whatever. Instead she's making tentacle monsters angry with blow dryers.

    The more I think about it, the more I believe they should have tag teamed with the military in the last season. It would have closed sooooo many plot holes. Turning the final battle into would've been great.
