    There is a UI scaling fix on the test server right now. I think it will go to prod in the next push.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Correct. Teckno Destrocto was the first monk to ever solo Nagafen. It was on the Vazaelle server. He used a metric ton of potions.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    As much as it might sound like we are complaining about the recent expansion, Lord of the Rings Online is actually in a really good place right now. The servers are a shit ton more stable now than they ever have been thanks to them moving to 64bit servers and a new datacenter There is a shit...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Exactly this ^ I preferred Everquest character models pre Shadows of Luclin. I loved the artistic styling of early Everquest. The so called low polygon count character models lead to some truly memorable looking gear. To this day, I still think the Kunark (or was it Velious) ogre helm was...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Like it or not, the fact that the biggest complaints are from a handful of people saying they don't like the graphics, that should mean that we have a hell of a good game on our hands here because if graphics is all you can find to complain about, fuck the game must be awesome to play. And...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That was spot on. You mentioned a lot that I had forgotten about. The voice overs was one of my biggest announced with this expansion because it was the one feature I really, really wanted them to do correctly... and they failed pretty miserably on it. When the voice overs are there and...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Just a little update on the Kingdoms of Harad expansion. I've finished the epic story now The Song of Waves and Wind, and I have to say that it was a well done story overall. I'm looking forward to see where the next expansion takes the game because this expansion was technically the end of...

    That's really good to hear. I have such high hopes for this game, and I love the open tests I have been able to be part of so far.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like the character models. I find the crocadile to be weird looking, but I like the character models. And... I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded lol. Maybe my mother should have gotten me tested when I was younger. Apparently, I am retarded for liking a particular art style. DAMN THE ROTTEN...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I was super hyped to check this game out, and over the past few open testing sessions, I have seen the game get better with each iteration. My only concern is that there wont be enough content when it does come out. It's not anything I have seen in the game's testing that makes me worry about...

    Anybody really know if they have any real programmers left at all? I'm talking actual C++ programmers that can work on the actual code and not just scripters (aka designers) that utilize the existing code. I thought that was Jchen, but really not sure anymore. I mean, I don't want to beat...

    You realize we will likely have actual manned spaceships flying to actual colonies on Mars before this game will ever release lol

    Thanks for that. I might... MIGHT... might decide to give it one more go. Fuck me. Can't believe I am even thinking about it with as much as I hate DBG. Fucking addiction.

    About what expansion does the game go from fun to a spreadsheet mongers wet dream? Maybe I'll play up to just before that expansion next time.. if I ever play again.

    Holy shit balls guys. What the actual fuck was all of that? Straight up, this is a fucking game guys. I have issues with people, they have issues with me, I've done stupid shit, I've fucked shit up before and made really retarded decisions and said some stupid ass shit before, but at the end...

    No I am referring to the modern EQ. I have no idea at what expansion that becomes a thing.

    Yeah I was kind of a dick to you. As far as beggin DPG though, fuck that. I couldn't give two shits what DPG/DBG/SoE-renamed-yet-again does. I'm just making comments about the game just like everybody else here that doesn't actually play the game anymore. That company is literally the bane...

    I'm sure it doesn't suck for everyone that has played it, but for myself, it sucks. I don't like that every piece of gear has a mile long list of stats, needing to create a spreadsheet to figure out what abilities out of the hundreds my character has should be on the absurd number of hotbars on...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    Funny how they seem to set it up every time to have each TLP start after PoP ends on the last TLP server. Why they wont just admit that the game tends to suck ass after PoP and create an alternate timeline for TLP+ that continues after PoP is beyond me. Instead, they keep making expansions for...

    If it ended up getting a big Christmas sale where I could pick it up for 20 bucks, I'd try it. I'm not interested enough in the game to pay $40+ on it.

    Quick update on Lotro... The new expansion, Kingdoms of Harad, was released last week. 4 new areas, level cap increased to 160, camel mount introduced, and the culmination of the epic Song of Waves and Wind story.

    All I know is that my brother and I had a great time playing in the last play test, so what they have right now is something I enjoy. If that fits the mold of what someone else on here wants, who fucking knows and I don't honestly give two fucks. The fucktards at DBG fucked EQ over and over...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    When you think about it, any game that has levels, gear, and mobs with nothing to stop and grind on is consumable content that the majority of players will eat up and then be gone. If they put in artificial grinds like forcing you to do X to get to Y to get to Z, then the player base sees it...

    I don't see an issue with any of that. Would be nice. I think that a necromancer and/or shadowknight being able to call TO the group. It could be based off of masking themselves with the darkness of death and floating to their group as a mist or something to make it thematically match the...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Maybe they are not trying to make the one game to rule them all, but rather they are making a game that they want to make regardless of how many players it gets or keeps? What if they are just trying to make something they want to make because its what they want to play? They never hired you...

    Discussion is fine, but what you (and some others) are doing is presenting your opinions as fact. For instance, you just said "...they're pointing out design flaws..." That's an opinion and not fact, but you state it as absolute fact. Game development is art, and art is subjective; not...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You know, for the past couple decades, there have been people on every single MMORPG's forums arguing about how the game should be designed and changed. People are always super hyper focused on making sure their vision of the game gets used by the devs... so much so that it always turns in to...

    Objection your honor. Counsel is badgering the witness because he doesn't like what he said rather than questioning what was sad. At any rate, I had a really good time in the public test. Could it have been harder? Yes of course it could have been, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment...

    My 7 Ele is on Relle. Name is Zippie. If anybody is on Relle and can drag a 7 elementalist along to do some dungeon content before the public test ends this week, I would love to get the opportunity to check out a dungeon. So far, all I have done is crocks and bandits out in the desert.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I played a lot more this weekend, and I have to say I really like the Elementalist (aka Mage). At this point, I've figured out the whole selling items thing. It takes a bit, but understanding which NPCs buy which items makes a huge difference. Once you get it figured out, it becomes pretty...

    You're telling me you don't remember dialing up Everquest on your 300 baud modem back on the Commodore 64? lol In reality, back then, we did play a *similar* game called L.O.R.D. (Legend Of the Red Dragon) on BBSes.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    My brother and I got in the game on Sunday and had a decent time. First impressions was that it was a lot rougher dealing with old-school MMORPG game design than we remembered. Finding the NPCs we needed to talk to, figuring out what they needed from us, and so forth was shocking after playing...

    In all honesty, all I want out of M&M is a game that my brother and I can play together for a couple decades with out having to be twitch gamers smashing a dozen different buttons at the right time and dancing in and out of puddles. We're too old for the Dance Dance Revolution style of MMORPGs...
