DId they post how the name reservation works? I don't see it. Would they count a character with the same name on multiple servers and add the days or just take the highest playtime of that name? Doesn't really matter I suppose just curious. Anyway, I'm pumped to be a casual. Bought the bags...

Doesn't make much sense to me. 2 identical servers but one of them has a much better loot system. Oh well. Looking forward to Teek. Should be fun to play some EQ again.

Your CH rot should only have the number of clerics needed to fit the time spacing that you think is necessary. Every group should have a healer who's job is to keep the group alive. Ideally your best geared clerics are not in the rotation at all so they can duck heal/spot heal as needed. The...

How would you guys compare Oakwynd to Yelinak? I played on Yelinak for like the first 2 months or so and it was pretty casual. The "top guild" pretty much just did raids during scheduled times and the leadership hadn't played EQ in a long time, I think I remember them being a group that came...

Pick zones were smart, agents of change were smart. They didn't fundamentally change the game, and barring a few issues, they were easy to implement. FTE does fundamentally change the game, and clearly whoever came up with the idea, and those that agreed to go along with it did not think it...

It was probably Cohhcarnage. He's the only popular streamer who I know returns to EQ every now and then.

Q: What is EncounterLocking? What isthe goal for Encounter Locking? A:The Encounter Locking feature will allow the first person that engages an NPC the ability to prevent others from interfering with the fight. A primary goal with adding this feature is to mitigate issues we've seen regarding...

There's gonna be a lot of salt on these servers. Watching your frenzy get pulled right through your group and there's not a single thing you can do about it will definitely rub a few people the wrong way. It'll be a nice server for bards though, I'm half tempted to just play on it and charm kite...

I didn't realize OGC had a video of this, first time I've seen it. That was probably the most stressful night I've ever had in EQ. I had everything planned out for us and ended up getting ddos'd for like 2 hours, had to text a lot of my instructions lol. What a disaster, but we barely pulled it...

A bard could control an entire zone if it's big enough to kite in. A lot of exploits have already been mentioned in this thread, and many more will surely be thought of. Kill stealing and DPS racing are things that many players on these servers have complained about for a long time now. I think...

Was hoping for a non-truebox server. Unlucky.

I still have my phinigel potime data, looks like between Feb 3 - July 17 (165 days) we killed Quarm 114 times. 69 (nice) phase 4-5 kills. On May 29 we had to drop from 3 splitting phase 4-5 to 2 splitting, and from doing 5 Quarms to 4 Quarms each clear, which we maintained until the end of PoP...

There are bored EQ players on a 7-14 day cruise so the forums get rowdy

Maybe these ban waves will send them the message that people like boxing and they'll release relaxed true-box servers as the norm. That would be nice. Especially if they keep enforcing these MQ bans.

There are people who play these kinds of games that just have money to burn it seems. It's probably why gaming has gone in the direction it's gone. The people who realized 15 years ago they could sell an imaginary pair of boots to someone for $50 went into game development and decided to do the...

I'm sure enough people will stick around for Yelinak to make it. Each server seems to find a way. I tried to do Yelinak, but I couldn't do just the single toon so I gave up. I also knew nobody on the server and the people I did play with were not great. Seemed to be either a decent chunk of...

Oof that is sad. Thanks for the info though!

Have they talked more at all about allowing relaxed trueboxing on mischief? I'd still be interested in Mischief if they end up doing that.

It was obviously a fake story because they forgot the alpacas.

That was an awesome series. I'm curious what Colorado will do now in the off-season. Kadri, Nichuskin, Burakovsky & Kuemper are all UFAs this year. MacKinnon is on his last year, and has said he would take a discount but how much of a discount? Lehkonen is also an RFA and they have a few other...

Tampa scored with 7 players on the ice in Game 7 last year vs the Islanders (a game they won 1-0). Not uncommon for these penalties to not be called. Refs probably felt Mackinnon was close enough to the bench and they were not calling a thing after about 10 mins left in the 3rd. Cooper's mostly...

Weren't you just saying they were complaining about killing a dragon at 11am??

Alrite someone come over to Yelinak and start a legitimate guild. I can't do it I don't have the playtime needed to do it anymore.

Sure was. I still have a link to the ragefire rotation: Ragefire Rotation I just did the 1 optional sky raid with Resurgence so far. It was only some minor drama but still entertaining. Hard to say, I guess I'll see how they do with splits. The guy leading the sky raid seemed decent enough. We...

I'm in this raid now it's wild. Some chick left the guild over not wanting to do a ch chain. Some quality drama on day 1.

It's pretty sad. Naggy sat up on a Saturday from like noon est to ~4pm. Never seen a more casual server. Although I am also a super casual, only playing 1 character and am actually enjoing it. Level 45 bard atm, missed out on the bonus xp weekend. Oh well.

I'd personally like them to do a true progression server next year. The next expansion unlocks immediately upon the completing of the current expansion. Kind of a call back to their original progression server way back when, although I believe that one did have a delay between expansions after...

That is hilarious, it looks like most the players in the picture are in their gloomingdeep armor too. How many people did that take and how long did the kill take? The screenshot makes the server look both horrible and fun at the same time.

You'll never get rid of the RMT. All the kids who grew up playing EQ have disposable income now. They can live out their childhood dream and buy the character they always wished they had. Unfortunately we're heading in that direction in general for gaming. I imagine we'll start seeing more and...

Solb, hole picks etc weren't added at launch on Ragefire. They were added before Phinny but not at launch so it further soured the experience on Ragefire for Classic EQ. Phinny came with them at the start.

People think Phinigel was wildly popular because it was the first truebox server, but the reality is Phinigel was successful thanks to the Agents of Change that were added (ie. raid instancing). Players recall playing on Ragefire & Lockjaw and it was a nightmare with the box crews taking all of...

I thought they were going to add something interesting with Yelinak but I guess not. The only thing that looks appealing is that they will introduce relaxed truebox on Yelinak in OoW. So I guess Yelinak will be playable in about 60 weeks. Whatever happened to getting relaxed truebox on current...

I can't believe he hasn't gotten his teeth fixed. Have you ever had tooth pain? It sucks. He probably needs years of work though at this point and I guess he's just too lazy.

I think it adds a lot to the game. WoW's gameplay is much better imo then ff14 or any other mmo out there for that matter. It is very fluid and enjoyable. If the rest of their content didn't suck or if they weren't constantly trying to keep the players down I would probably play it more. It's so...

Idk, I find it stupid easy since it is so scripted. You might fail a few times seeing it but once you see it, there's really no excuse for fucking it up. So ya, if you can find 7 other people and tell them "go there" and they do it you'll win.

Addons are definitely the reason WoW was made more difficult. I didn't mean to make FF14 sound stupid easy, savage can definitely be a challenge and you will have to slowly progress through each fight, but it is significantly easier then mythic wow. 1) because you only need to play with 8...

The suggestion that FF14 raids are "harder" is hilarious to me because every raid is literally scripted with every ability coming out at the exact same time each fight. The only difficult part is finding 7 other people who aren't retarded. Although if weakauras existed in FF14, you wouldn't even...

The talent trees seem good, but they didn't touch on anything account-wide related. If you end up having to grind all the new bullshit on every alt then they can once again fuck off. I might get behind the people who only play the .2 patch, it seems they fix all their dumb shit by then. The...

After playing FF14 there is no way I'm ever playing an alt again if I am forced to redo the same bullshit content on that alt. And I'm fairly sure they're never going to do that, so WoW is really only a game worth playing now for maybe 1-2 months every patch. They are gonna have to blow me away...

I'm more interested in the relaxed true box at this point. I'm kind of over Classic - Luclin but if they do allow 3 boxing on Mischief in Omens I'd start playing that for sure. Otherwise I suppose I will consider Yelinak once they open up relaxed truebox. I realize Rizlona does exist I suppose I...
