Trainer hill I would have gotten, what got me was the random kunark ruins that exist in multiple zones and all look alike.

As far as I know all Beastlord races take a pet from their starter zones. So run around Gfay and pick something that isn't already taken. Woodies took the tree things, the wolves are already taken, so wasp, brownie, orc pawn are about all that is left.

Yeah Vicious and his guys are planning a guild, one of their crew passed recently so they are doing a guild in his honor. He has already said he won't be leading it because he doesn't have time. Elaida and many of his other regulars are onboard, but how long it lasts is anyone's guess. RIP Yace...

Yeah Mayong came out around the SoD era i think, lasted more than 3 days, but not by much. Still better than Miragul.

Probably more due for another epic fail like Miragul.

There are always new people coming to EQ, some are older, but also plenty of 20 somethings starting out on TLPs. And of course the "played 20 years ago" people coming back to play. It's a trickle not a flood and probably doesn't match the outflow but it's still a thing.

What does any of this have to do with screwing your GL's wife or other shenanigans?

Yeah I'm not sure about the whole corrupt GM's are conjuring krono out of thin air to sell on 3rd party sites. But I wouldn't be shocked to learn that some of the major botting crews that seem to be protected are greasing the right palms to avoid bans.

Absolutely, but everyone is onto that trick now, can expect to be petitioned and possibly suspended. Back in the day there was a Cleric GM in EC, Rinna Lightshadow, you could tag her in her hut, train her to North Ro and zone out, then zone back in and watch her murder any evil race/deity she...

Yeah I was guilty of the occasional druid charm shenanigans in newbie zones, charm an animal, give it a skin, sow, haste and damage shield and it would be a deadly noob killing machine. Couldn't attack it because of the DS, couldn't outrun it because it had sow etc. Had too many hitpoints to...

I think the Necro dot revamp starts kicking in now.

Yeah you make a character, starting city defaults to crescent reach. Defaults to tutorial but you can deselect that and start in CR instead. You spawn next to an NPC that offers a level 1 quest and sends you running around the city for a bit doing dumb quests. Follow the path from CR to...

Bazaar is full of cheap raid gear, 1 krono will get you kitted out, won't be BiS but you don't need it to catch up and be powerful.

TSS is the last and best of the expacs that give content all the way from character creation to max level (75) It was kinda WoW like in that as soon as you load in there's an NPC with your first quest standing right there, they have zones for each level range, sometimes multiple, but at first...

Redownloading EQ now, just not sure where to hang out while waiting on new servers. TSS dropping on Mischief soon? loved that expac so might have to roll something up or dust off one of my 65's.

Cool story bro, but we're gonna need some discord screenshots of this salt, thanks.

Yeah I remember one person ranting about that for days and being mocked for it. Don't think it was Rapiers though, but can't recall exactly which guild was accused, If I saw names again I'd remember.

If anyone remembers this far back, the early days of Phinny server where a monk terrorised groups in Unrest for a week or more. It was the same guy, and he's such an attention whore he would post his own bans to reddit for attention. He also streamed himself training his own guildies in the...

That's why I've noticed a recent trend on TLPs for guilds to not carry much of a guildbank, people are cottoning on to the fact that at some point the guild will fold and somebody will walk away with it. Last few guilds I was in, anything tradeable and not needed for a main raider was just...

Rumor has it the guy responsible for the "Rapier" guilds originally wanted or tried to create <Convicted Rapiers> as his first guild before eventually landing on the first iteration which was <Bloody Rapiers> (on Phinny IIRC). Says what you need to know about how cringey this fucker is.

He also used to push Merchandise onto his guild, no idea how well it sold, if at all. Dude was 100% a grifter.

Dude has a good scam going, basically mass recruits everything with a pulse from classic through velious, then when the guild bank gets fat enough he quits or "gets banned" and the guild folds, presumable with the guild bank being taken by the leader and his cronies. Insert Sam Hyde how does he...

Yeah half your raid force are plate wearers so tend to be the slowest to gear up

INB4 China release their own new MMORPG called Rorld of Rawcraft

Allegedly they experienced 10 minutes of fame via MTV 20 something years ago and are still desperately trying to milk it. They are so not famous that I did a search for fitzgerald twins on youtube and some other fitzgerald twins came up instead.

Same goes with the "EQ is an easy game" crowd. If it's so easy why do so many people still manage to suck ass at it?

Leveling my Beastlord in DSP and random mob dropped 3 lucid shards so yeah I'd say keying up would have been a lot easier than previous TLPs. Haven't raided in many months but looking to get back into it once I hit 60.

Still think a TSS launch TLP would be awesome.

What's with the noob Troll SK still wearing bronze and a blade of abrogation?

Add me to the loved it in the early days crowd. Riftstalker tanking and Chloromancer healing were pretty unique and cool at the time.

Xp bonus almost but not quite tempted me back.

The amount of camp checks still going on in xp zones on TLPs suggests it's not as wide spread as some would think. Always have to resist the urge to answer with "Just get SEQ already you fucking plebs!"

Kind of feel the same, but while it was fun and the standard of guilds was much higher, the loot pinata got old fast for me, raiding a bunch, earning and spending my DKP on BiS gear, only to have some unguilded pleb be able to go to the bazaar and get the exact same stuff if willing to drop a...

Hadn't logged in for like a week but checked just now and my 2 accounts are fine, both accounts are more than a decade old and have been subbed by a mix of credit card and kronos over the years. FWIW I've been using Multiplicity since Phinny and SEQ since Mangler, I don't use any MQ and don't...

Of if you're not the leader and point out their lack of contribution and suggest that they be replaced, you're "causing drama".

You can get into the Local Pub wearing flip flops

Yeah I think I'm done with EQ TLP life for a bit, finding a group is like pulling teeth, and when you finally do, the quality of players you encounter is among some of the worst I remember. Highlight is the bard that refused to pull because they "didn't know the zone" then constantly went AFK...
