    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    ?? I have hit max level in - Black desert, Archeage, Ffxiv, New world Pantheon, I’ve played many others like gorgon that I am forgetting. I’d say take my playtime in 3-4 of those combined and it’d still be less than the time it took to hit even lvl 50 in m n m.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Exactly. For everyone of me there will be 10-20 hekotats. Even in alpha there is the ‘casual’ base I can easily identify just by the kinds of things they say in ooc or things they want to trade for. Now some of those will progress to hardcore /poopsockers, but more casual may show up. At some...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Really pins down how good the point of interest and world design is in this game that you can navigate pretty well without a map just because of how the zones are designed. Game like ffxiv or black desert looks much more attractive but the landscape is so banal and random generated feeling that...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The minimap thing is honestly a waste, people constantly referring to a map will end up wasting *more* time than people who learn landmarks and can read. Esp night harbor, shit is laid out for you pretty clearly. Like I said before, people have already made incredible detailed maps of places...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It’s definitely something enjoyable as a stand alone ‘group rpg’ or whatever you’re trying to pigeonhole it as. I’m looking forward to the ‘scaffolding’ of an mmorpg on release, like chasing for contested, stuff like that increases enjoyment for me, I don’t have to win to enjoy that aspect of a...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I don’t doubt their lack of content , or gating of their content thru the slow progression/lack of instancing, will burn out people over time. you aren’t going to recreate eq in 2026 with how much the mmo landscape has changed . But you only need a few hangers ons for the game to persist in some...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    And I also didn’t play this stress test, despite obviously the fact I’m gonna play release, for the same reasons as others. You put 2000 hours into an alpha, with around 500 at max lvl, in a game that hasn’t released over half its content yet, you’re just not going to be inclined to roll up...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    wtf? I can’t think of an mmo that has a more narrow scope than this one. Where do you even come up with this stuff? The whole selling point of this game is the old school feel, including sprawling zones / dungeons and a large game world. Exactly like eq. That is precisely the scope. Someone...

    They struggling hard with class balance. They will have enough zones and exploration content for release in June easily, but nick and Ali have me worried on their ability to fine tune class power and mob power. There’s been massive swings and some deaf ears on major issues, and bugs that aren’t...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    apparently tickets are a ‘bargain’ starting as low as 4-7k for nosebleeders. I guess previous Superbowls have been as much as 10k minimum ticket price . Something dumb about a major sporting event being just an event for the upper class

    First episode was great then it felt like nothing much really happened. Only interesting bit was the character of manousos. On the plus side gilligan is all about these slow burns so the payoff may be worth it, but we may not see it for years.

    To be fair they already did a money grab and I got played so shame on me, but I won’t get fooled again. They had some decent/fun content for the first 20 levels before you realize the game is 80% unfinished and their progress is entirely hamstrung by a lead dev with debilitating amounts of...

    He’s too chickenshit to commit because he’s so hellbent on getting some weird online mic drop moment that he desperately craves. If this shit ‘releases’ in 2038 in some scam money grab version before it shuts down a month later, he’ll claim a massive win if we are even still alive then.

    Ashes of Creation

    Seems like a scam but not sure if it started out this way? Seems like the first dagger was incompetence , and then they pivoted to scam when they realized it to recoup some losses. Pretty sure Steven is coming out of this a lot poorer unless it was all lies?

    The lead dev’s spouse is a surgeon and the guy doesn’t need the income from what I can tell this is not about money for him. I’m sure the rest of his team is looking forward to getting paid

    Uh, so I logged in and was like oh it’s not really ready yet, I’ll check this out in a few months. Now, I essentially didn’t get to play it and lost out on 40ish$? Is this being refunded?

    No game has brought cc into it as intensely as this since honestly eq. You get to the 50+ levels and breaking camps can be serious business . It’s probably my favorite thing about the game

    Yea our monk tanked great do about mid 30s but his health pool rapidly fell behind and plate tank became really the only option by 50+. Monks can off rank in a pinch but they are too squishy in scenarios where you need someone to soak a lot of damage

    They’re fun, I’ve been hearing some recent changes with fd aren’t good, possibly a bug. Classes are very much in an alpha situation that’s gonna be where they have to make most of their progress before the EA.

    They’ve reiterated, and confidently so, multiple times that they have all the tools they need to tell if someone is boxing. So you can choose to believe them or not but these guys so far haven’t been huge bullshitters, this isn’t Joppa or Brad running this. However, assuming they do find and...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They are being intentionally vague but the impression I got is the no box server is to prevent obvious, exorbitant Sam da man / tuco style boxing of 5-6 characters. They can not and likely won’t even try to police dual boxing , even tho I expect a lot of cry babies and Karens constantly...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Nick said cryptically once that he defines no-boxing as ‘one account per machine’ which made me wonder if they’d be ok with people boxing an extra char on the no box server if they were doing it on different pcs. People playing one extra character, which could happen if a crucial support is...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They are going to have a no box server, which is where I’ll be playing. Don’t want to deal with the tucos of the world locking down raid mobs with their 24 subs. Now , whether they can actually police the servers for boxers is anyone’s guess

    Agreed, the char models are pretty 1996, they got a ways to go to make them as appealing as the environments. also 99% of mmo gamers will ignore or not even hear about this game . I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the most active thread for this game on the internet. Some guy like asmongold...

    Their art style lets them pump out content faster. I think for the semi cartoony low fi art they are going for I think it looks great. One could argue mass effect 3 has better graphics - it certainly has higher poly counts and graphics tech - but no one would actually say it looks better. They...
