    32,768 is the biggest number you can store in a signed 16-bit integer. Not sure what made them go for 16 bits there, that seems pretty stingy even for 1999.

    Count me in the former group. Instances are the way to go for raiding. The alternative is competing with the biggest poopsockers on the server for every spawn, or raiding every few weeks in a rotation. The TLPs have a decent balance I think, you have your weekly DZ, and on top of that there are...

    Seems like an obvious way to catch cheaters then, but I guess botter $ spends just as well as any other.

    Missed out on Kunark and Velious, just got back on Aradune on my cleric. Now that it's 60, I want to roll up an alt to box, so I can farm some shit by myself, and occasionally box it in a group. What would be a good class to do this? If it was launch I would probably go for enchanter because of...

    Was wondering the same thing after getting my CLR to 50. Enchanter is very powerful, but having to deal with charm breaks all the time gets tedious fast. Necro would allow me to be semi-afk most of the time. Not sure yet.

    I'm just wondering just what kind of dog shit they're running this server on. Can't they ask around the office if someone has an old pentium III they could upgrade to?

    I've cancelled my accounts. If it doesn't get better before the sub runs out, they'll stay cancelled.

    Started my enchanter to possibly box with my cleric. I thought it would be rough going till I got to charm, but this class is just OP straight out of the gate. The level 2 pet is level 5, and the next few ones are also a few levels above the level you get them. Just silly.

    I just timed it, zoning takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds right now. Absolutely retarded. If this doesn't get better quick I guess I'll add to the solution by letting my account lapse.

    Why even bother ninjalooting. With 20 picks of Lguk running the game is shitting out so much gear, everything but the best shit can be had for cheap.

    I found this out to my detriment. I'm now a cleric with 60 strength. Bronze will be fun.

    So how does this queue work: I get the message, click OK. 1) Do I get logged into the character select automatically at this point? 2) If I manually try to log in again, do I get booted to the back of the queue?
  13. Philonius

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    No queue in the European morning, which is nice. I suppose the flipside of that coin is there'll be at most 2 guilds raiding in EU times.

    Already greatly enjoying mage pets just sitting there until the mob is almost dead. If you find yourself in a group with active non-AFK players, never leave.

    I got to level 5 and decided I'd rather be a dark elf after all.

    Can't you just rent scalable server space from Amazon these days? Buckling under the load of a few thousand connections is pretty special in TYOL 2020.

    Got one character made before the whole thing came crashing down. I guess it gives me some more time to think about what race to make my cleric.

    Luckily I'm in Europe, if I don't get in now I'll just play tomorrow morning in the dead of US night.

    So do I hit OK on the box that tells me I'm still in the queue (wait time 1m, sure...)
  20. Philonius

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    How much playtime is required to level up on these TLPs? I figure I might just have one account be CLR, SHM and the other ENC, NEC, MNK. Plenty of box combinations to try out and see what I'm going to stick with. Before AAs, not much to do once you reach cap anyway, so if the exp rate is high...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I'm still so torn about what to play. CLR/ENC for full apotheosis, CLR/NEC for more relaxed casual support when the cleric is not grouped, or go with SHM after all, as they have more involved gameplay. Point in favor of cleric is that if I find a decent raid guild with a schedule that I can...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Because I'm doing this for nostalgia, and I played a cleric on live way back in the day. But maybe getting a more involved class and boxing it would not be too bad after all, just use the cleric as the main raid character. Mind you, I was undecided between doing the cleric thing again and maybe...

    Going to roll a cleric on Aradune. I'm not a huge fan of boxing, but I also remember how annoying it was trying to do anything by myself as a cleric, and that will sometimes be required. I know ENC/CLR is disgustingly overpowered, but if I roll with that I'd pretty much be playing the enchanter...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I think A would be a decent solution, yeah. Everquest was never a balanced game, but I don't see how anyone could seriously argue that it's fine for one class to bring the best CC, haste, caster buffs, have the charm pet tank for the group, and provide more DPS than the rest of the group combined.
  25. Philonius

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    So basically charm is so disgustingly overpowered it degenerates all other gameplay?
  26. Philonius

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    So the healing power of a cleric is not really necessary? I recall rerolling from druid to cleric back in the day, specifically because I was always expected to heal and could never quite keep up as a non-cleric priest. If a shaman could keep up, might be better to roll as that, since clerics do...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I'd like some feedback on what playing on these TLP servers is like, these days. I haven't played EQLive since the GoD era. I've recently started a character on P99, and either I'm getting old and high on nostalgia, or this game is actually still somewhat fun to play 20 years later, in all it's...
