It's going to be interesting. I think there will be a much higher ratio of Krono farmers to the general population than there was on previous TLPs. Wonder what that will do the cost of items that were typically considered premium before.
Nostalgia aside, having redone these expansions on TLP I will say Kunark and PoP are both extremely shallow. Luclin and GoD which many people hated at the time actually have much more to do than Kunark/Velious and PoP do at those particular level caps. You get done with PoP progression on TLP...
Guilds will be continuing to do PoTime through LDoN and many will still be doing it even in GoD at least to fill out recruits and returning players etc. That said, this wizard is probably a top 10 wizard right now in terms of gear on the server, not sure who it is offhand though. Pretty sure...
Old sets draft poorly, but it's kind of fun in a nostalgia sort of way. Playing 3 color decks with a bunch of gray ogres and common x spells is good times.
I've probably mentioned it in this thread, but yeah SKs are probably the strongest class overall on these early TLP expansions. Tank in classic, including raid bosses since warriors don't have their discs yet or aggro weapons etc, one of the best pullers and one of the highest burn dps once you...
People claim that they want all kinds of stupid shit. People vote for 6 month unlocks then get bored and quite/take breaks after 2 or 3 months. This is no different.
XP is dramatically faster than it was in 1999 or on P99. Characters are also much more powerful than they were back then for a number of reasons. This is very much EQ-lite.
In classic they're a fine group tank, but are shit dps on raids. In Luclin they get decent since with AAs they can at least do some good burn dps with trueshot. Then yes in PoP they become retardedly overpowered. They're basically the top dps class and have no aggro issues like a wizard or mage.
Affinity won't enjoy it being on the other side either. Less exciting in Standard unless there's a lot more activated abilities that haven't been spoiled. Crewing and Evolving Wilds though.
Yeah the Yankees have done a real good job recently in the prospect department. Hasn't been a very good start to the season for them, but I'd bet they'll be in the mix at the end of the season and have a bright future.
Yeah. I do hope there's more jokes later on, but I've said it before, I'm glad that they're trying different things to avoid going stale. Some of those things won't be on the mark but I'm glad they're trying.
I mean nobody is totally exempt from being traded. Things like the Hershel Walker trade, or the trade for the pick to draft RG3 etc do happen on occasion. But this whole thing mostly just sounds like Sherman wants to be traded.
Most instances don't have respawns. So not very useful for xp. I know Velk's lab had respawns for some reason so people did use those to xp in for up to 6 hours.
