I agree. The idea for instances / phases is simply to allow everyone that pays their $15 a month to experience ALL the game has to offer. Getting locked out of content simply because you didn't join the correct poopsock guild is unacceptable in 2026. But that doesn't mean you should never see...

Calling EQ "old school" is like calling Super Mario Bros 1 "old school." It was only that because that is what the technology at the time could allow. Technology has moved WAY past what both EQ and SMB1 were made of. Instancing / phasing / world design have all had MASSIVE technological...

Everyone agrees with this. NO ONE IS ARGUING OTHERWISE. The PROBLEM with a non-instanced game, is that a small number of people monopolize #2 and short circuit this cycle FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF OTHER PLAYERS. I don't know why this is so freaking hard for the non-instanced ball-lickers...

Sooooo.... Ancient Cyclopse, Gorenaire, and Quillmane?? Nah, never been done before....

But my dude!!! THESE guys are going to DO IT RIGHT and it will take at least A YEAR before anyone doing end game content!!!1!111!1!!1

Instances and phasing ARE core designs. If those are just "tacked on later" you get the pile of trash that was release Plane of Time. If that is "fun" for you, then you are a very small minority of gamer that does not have the numbers to sustain a commercially viable product.

Then you're just a moron if you believe it will take 1-2 years for the majority of players to hit max level in MnM. That is why I'm giving this game 6 months. The poopsockers will do it in a 3-4 weeks. The dedicated casuals will do it in 2-4 months. The dad vibes players will be there in 6...

Tell me you haven't played a single MMO in the past 10 years without telling me you haven't played a single MMO in the past 10 years.

Not having in-game maps/minimaps is a fantastic example of tedium for the sake of annoyance rather than difficulty. Completely fucking retarded. If this is the "design decisions" these devs are making, 6 months may be a GENEROUS prediction.

For people without PS, LoK is half off right now on GoG. https://www.gog.com/en/game/blood_omen_legacy_of_kain

Which is what drove the player base to demand smaller raids. There is a reason WoW eventually went to the 25/10 raid dynamic.

No one is saying it's going the way of Ashes. But when you start slapping monthly fees onto an EQ Emu server, then player expectations in 2026 change. People will not be content with sitting around while a single guild of 100 people monopolize the limited content that a "small scoped"...

I was going to reply but @Kirun nailed it. Well done, sir.

World of Warcraft launched without a single raid encounter. How much more of a success do you need?

Examples of what? Failed MMOs?

You don't need 10 years of content ready to go day one to play an MMO for 10 years. But what you DO need is a strong foundational design that will allow people to see that they will be able to enjoy that content when it arrives. And not cockblocked out of things because 100 assholes decided to...

The siren song of every failed MMO....

Everything @moonarchia and @Kirun is saying needs to be drilled into the heads of the devs if this thing is going to last past the 6 month mark. The reason EQ did so well was: A) it was the first of it's kind (3D MMO). B) it had no real competition in the MMO space. Once a valid competitor...

What time is it? I can't hear YOU! Who shits up a thread that everyone reads? @Bubbles Squarepants Posts of Alinity and thots with disease. Bubbles Squarepants Gets sent to the Shaw and everyone is pleased. Bubbles Squarepants Bubbles Squarepants Bubbles Squarepants BUBBLES SQUAREPANTS

Stealing entire boats of stuff was a fantastic past time.

Can you imagine what Montana would have been like if you couldn't touch him in the pocket? Or lay a HAND on Jerry Rice?? How about not being able to TOUCH Elway until he broke out of the pocket? Man, what I wouldn't give to have seen that.

He was that BEFORE I posted those stats...

Immaterial to the point. Patriots being LOSERS are why we are here.

The greatest Super Bowl stat of all time: Here is the breakdown of Super Bowl losses by team (through 2025 season): 6 Losses: New England Patriots 5 Losses: Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills 4 Losses: Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers 3 Losses: Dallas...

Contradicting yourself in 2 sentences. Atta' boy, Comrade. (Still too dumb to get it)

YES, Comrade. PREACH! (You're still too dumb to figure it out)

Atta' boy, Comrade. Prove me right. Well done.

Full loot PVP with territory control MMOs are the Communism of MMOs. Those that support it are too dumb to understand why it doesn't work and unironically claim its never been REALLY tried.

So... bronze medal for persistence?

I mean, why not shoot your shot?

If it wasn't before....

This is the DUMBEST thing you've said in a long time... and you just got done predicting the Pats to be a 12 win team next year. The Cowboys do their BEST work in the draft. They just completely ignore Free Agency. I don't think you actually watch football at all and just browse TikTok.

Just wanting to complete the failure of the season by wasting yet MORE draft picks are we??

Obviously Miami vs Seattle

Which, for me, was Super Bowl XXXV. FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL OLD

His bookie.

Trent was a GOAT compared to this.

Can 11 men co-MVP? Because I'd rather give it to Seattle's defense.
