    Everquest - Live Servers

    Ok, so my brother and I are DUOing (with mercs) on the Mischief server again. Not looking to do raids or anything for a very, very long time. Our intentions are to just slowly play the game casually. Obviously with a shit ton of content between us and current end game, we're in no hurry at...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You can easily control the influx of gear while instancing by modifying the percentage drop rate of said item based on the number of instances currently open for that area. That way, the more instances open at any given time directly lowers the odds of getting the best gear to drop from that area.

    Open MMORPG by AI

    AI has made insane progress since when I first started this thread. I would imagine that we are going to be much closer to this being a reality here soon. Seriously. I can't believe how far AI has come in such a short time. As far as the level of trust issue, in my personal opinion, the way...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I have to completely agree on this one. So many times in the past when I played EQ, I would login and literally have no where to play and just log back out. Every time, it lead me to leave the game. You have to have something to do when you login each time. There has to be something you can...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    And, just to add to what I just said, I wanted to point out that its not like we are all against buying new games from big corporations. The only reason we are so dead set on looking to small startup offerings is because in the past decade, the big software corporations have moved away from...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I was just catching up on the messages, so forgive me if this reply is like 5 pages late LOL... damn you guys are fast. As for the discussion about the game and many games these days going in to Early Access to be able to raise money to complete the games, I believe this has to do with the...

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    This is something I've been saying for years. Why is everybody so damned dependent on the EQ client? After three decades of the genre existing, is there not one single option out there that people can use to build their game on that isn't someone else's private code? Seriously, are there no...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I can get behind that for sure. I kind of assumed that the idea of no instances would go the way of the dodo bird eventually IF there wasn't enough valid areas to play through the content. EQ was great, but it had an issue with having a small number of GOOD camps in any level range. I had...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I can agree with that. The only thing is that I would think that in the third decade of this genre's existence, gamers would know AND understand that it is physically impossible for any developer to keep ahead of the consumption curve simply due to how much work it takes to create content...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You're right. I misremembered it apparently. I didn't think they added raiding until later. I don't completely disagree with you here. I just think its nearly as "the world is ending" that the other ones are making it out to be. It's not like their core design sucks such massive dick that...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Exactly what I figured your response would be because I didn't agree with you. You see, I can understand and debate with you because you actually try to argue the points. There are others here that are more along the lines of "YOU SUCK DICK BECAUSE YOU DONT AGREE WITH ME". Ahem... Talking...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You've mentioned before that their current design is not "fun". I argue that FUN is a highly subjective term. It's not black and white like a few of you in this thread try to make it sound. Just because you only find the end-game with your set of friends fun does not mean that anything other...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Man the level of doom sayers in here is intense. I didn't get a chance to play this weekend, but from what I played in the last playtest, I really liked the game. I sure hope the doom saying in here is just a lot of the usual haters and not actually something to be concerned about in the game...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    My question is why wouldn't they just make certain servers specifically allow certain 3rd party software and be like, hey if you go to this server, you know what you are signing up for, so don't come complain to us? I mean, they know that the vast majority of their Live server players use...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I still don't understand why a game, that is quite literally the best game in the industry for boxing, does not embrace that fact and build in boxing support in to the client. It just baffles the mind. The game, even though it was clearly not designed to be played this way, is practically...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I was going to do Teek, but it doesn't allow mercenaries yet apparently. So, I am going to do Mischief. I was a little surprised though to see Mischief was not showing up as a HIGH population server though. Do people still play on Mischief, or has it gone the way of the dodo bird? Don't...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I have heard a lot of people talk about that level range and how it feels a bit wonky in "what do I do next". It does pick up more later on and gets kind of back on rails. At that range, you are in a couple of quest packs called Where Dragons Dwell and Veils of Anduin. Leading up to that, you...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Any idea how much of this can be done on a Shaman soloing with a merc? I'm very seriously considering picking either a TLP that is far along or a Live server that I have not played on before, and starting 100% over from scratch on a Shaman just for shits and giggles.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Take this with a grain of salt because I don't actually play on a free to play account, so I don't know for a fact... But, as far as I know, there is a ton of free content in this game all the way from level 1 up to 95. How that breaks down to the areas in that free content that are actually...

    Gonna hate myself for this, but I think I might actually resub to play a solo shaman for shits and giggles. No raiding.. not yet. Fuck I hate you people! Always making me want to come back. Fuckers! ps. one of you fuckers toss me a Krono so I don't have to give DBG any money

    I think you missed the most important part of being on these forums; don't take anything anyone says to heart. The best response is usually something along the lines of... Go fuck yourself. Try a few variants, but ultimately, it's the most acceptable response when someone comes at you on these...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    That 36 week thing is insane honestly. They need to let people get past fucking PoP sooner already. Let people get the nostalgia hit for a short while, and then let them get on through the expansions in a rate where the playerbase isn't burned out and moved on before we get to the later...

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

    I'm not against the ruleset (if it is in fact what the polls showed), but I do think its going to be a ghost town in a couple months tops. There's just nothing to keep people playing. If they think that the average casual is going to get to max level in record time for once and be like, "man I...

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

    Even if they had Luclin open at launch, everybody would be through those AAs in no time imo. This is going to be a vacation server... people will show up, beat it, and go on vacation to another server or game until the next expansion opens up. Rinse and repeat.

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

    The game in its current state (and especially with the rule sets voted on) is very, very easy. At this point, its more about just playing through the game to play through the game because you enjoy... playing through the game. Honestly, if some asshole jacks your shit right in front of you...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I had everything I needed. I saw no need to purchase gold. That being said, if you got enjoyment out of it, I have no hate towards you because again, the gold farmers never once impeded my ability to enjoy the game. The only person that impeded my ability to enjoy the game was Sillyas that...

    New World

    I have said before and I will say it again, I enjoyed the living fuck out of my time in New World. I got my money's worth out of the game. When I got to max level, I was done with the game, but I don't regret any second of the time I spent playing through the game. I was actually looking at...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Funny how I played from early Beta through release and beyond for a long time, and I never once ran in to a gold farmer nor did I ever feel the need to buy gold or anything for the game. But, then, I ran a guild that basically just played together. We had no need for outside resources. If we...

    Just curious. Which of the poll outcomes do you not want implemented in particular? Personally, I just don't like the long unlock periods. The rest of it I can live with to be honest. I would have liked if they would have put ONE more server rule up for vote... Ability to switch Persona...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I've bitched a ton about EQ on here as of this past year, and swore I would never touch the game again. Here's the thing though. I do NOT hate EverQuest. I actually really fucking like playing EverQuest. The only thing that makes me not want to play the game is DBG/DPG. The company is the...
