    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Problem I have with WoW housing is that it's too little, too late. This would have been peak around wotlk/cata era when people who played weren't all gay furries. Imagine a cool guild hall, putting boss loot from your first big kill on the mantle. Instead now wow is non-binary slop and housing...

    Ashes of Creation

    I feel like in the past, similar kinds of mass outrage events ended up with Steam siding with the players and doing mass refunds. Didn't that happen with Helldivers 2 during the whole playstation account outrage?

    Ashes of Creation

    MMOs are like adventure games, RTS, etc. They were interesting relics of a specific time in gaming, but the combinations of features that made them interesting were parceled out into different genres / game modes. MMOs became big before social networks, discord, etc. Even when WoW was big, one...

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

    This is why Vaniki is still the best TLP server in recent memory. Got to do a bunch of weird GoD++ shit when you really shouldn't have been there. Also enchanters having uncapped charm didn't hurt.

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

    To be fair, I'm not a big boxer and I only logged in to vote for no truebox (and pro-pvp for Aeth). I feel like this server will see some increase in people running a second character and maybe a third box since it's more accessible, but really the people who aren't 6+ boxing aren't normally...

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

    I got hit on Fangbreaker for what I can only imagine was MQ2 that was on disk due to one of those goofy emu servers that packaged a version for automating alts (FV Project or something?). At least that's what I assume since otherwise I've only ever used GINA/EQ NAG. I appealed and they said it...

    Most of the TLPers I know are over it. Between Fangbreaker, THJ lawsuit, random bans, this uninspired server is making people look for other things.

    This part is no so far fetched. In made up shit like copyright and trademark, defending or not defending your rights can strengthen or weaken your case on infringement. The obvious example is with trademark dilution where people use a trademarked name as a generic term for a class of products...

    Isn't a lot of this shit on github anyway? It's definitely not 'having access to the code' that's stopping DBG from making a killer TLP.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    There was nothing stopping Daybreak from already doing this without needing their code. Just taking their code and not hiring the devs would lead to it not being 'even better', but half baked and DOA.

    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    Fangbreaker is Restricted Truebox which means you can have at max two accounts running, and they each need their own computers. They do not enforce the 2 account limit at all though. Fangbreaker is odd in that truebox ends with the launch of Planes of Power, because that's the end of their...

    Personas are retarded for everything except getting a bunch of random shitter personas to level 5 early in a server so you can origin around to all the starting cities.

    The fact that on every TLP, we still get the aids ridden Prophecy of Ro versions of the zones is a good example of this. DBG is unwilling or incapable of providing the product nostalgia chasers really want.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    There are a few features of THJ (and other servers like Chainbreakers, etc) that really should make their way to TLPs: Respawning Instances: Most zones had an NPC similar to the Agent of Change that would let you create a personal respawning or non-respawning instance. Respawning instances were...

    But that's before you factor in being paid off by PLers and box armies! I guess on the bright side they've since opened up the positions to "Daybreak Approved Remote Locations (CA, WA, TX, NY)".

    4d chess thinking was that they released a server that becomes a worse Oakwynd right around the same time the next TLP comes out, and that one would have been the THJ collab server. Nope they're just that dumb.

    IP laws are retarded and shouldn't be supported. Daybreak are as far removed from the development of the content THJ is using as the THJ devs are. Classic through PoP should be in the public domain at this point. Nobody at DBG had anything to do with the content being created and they just sit...

    Yeah look at the wizard uptime vs the bard. The total damage out of the wizard is close to the bard, but the bard has 11 minutes of uptime and the wizard less than 3. Some of that will just be the way it's counting uptime (probably first hit) but in this case you might have just had a lazy...

    Does Tormax have a full time GM? I'm surprised they looked at the numbers on Aradune in a vacuum and said "yup, it was the ruleset". The ruleset was just truebox with a dedicated GM right? People played because of COVID WFH and Brad's death, neither of which was recreated for Tormax.

    I think you may have gotten juked, because while leveling with RI, there was zero expectation to race for firsts or even to leave xp spots. Might be why venox's PL discord is fat with Faceless chodes trying to PL dps boxes for the dkp bonus.
