    I mean crypto goes up and crypto goes down. It's not just going to go to an ath in a straight line up from here. There will be dips, but hopefully this signals we're at least out of the doldrums. But yeah, it's not altogether impossible this is a false start too. If it is an end to the crypto...

    Drunk on vacation is a great way to learn they've cured cancer. I know what you mean, though. They're constantly coming out with these incredible headlines about cancer treatments that when you dig into it don't amount too much. This one is definitely different.

    Project Triune (NMS) (Not THJ we swear)

    AFAIK, no emu has been shut down by DBG, aside from THJ. And that was because they monetized. As long as this one doesn't monetize I'm sure it will be fine.

    You haven't played a lot of the emus I've played then lol. But to your point, there are plenty of emus with way more content- though they are mostly servers that have had years to build content. But they're free. I love eq emu. I've been playing them since 2004 when I quit live. They are all...

    Not a good month for self-custody. Increased phishing attempts aren't the half of it. Home addresses were divulged. There's going to be some doors getting knocked on in the near future.

    The eq emu model has fucked with a lot of heads tbh. People are used to getting a ton of (sometimes) great content for free or for optional donations, and that has set the bar to a certain extent. I think a lot of people are still subconsciously putting EQL in the emu basket, despite the fact...

    I could talk for a *really* long time about what I think good pvp means, but I don't want to derail this thread too much. Only thing I'll say is you definitely can have good pvp in EQ. I've seen it done. But as far as I know, none of the EQL devs are pvp people, so I doubt it will happen. (Not...

    The only way to build a casual/QoL-friendly MMO *and* keep the hardcore crowd engaged long-term is to build out a ton of content and be very clever about how you structure player progression through it. EQL simply wasn’t in development long enough to do that cleanly before launch. But there’s a...

    It wasn't feedback, just an observation. Doesn't make the chart less useful. Maybe a little depressing, though.

    It's funny, I'm seeing the same things you are and coming to a completely different conclusion. I knew we were never going to see the emergence of a "new digital financial system free of banks and governments." That was always a libertarian pipe dream, as I've noted many times on here...

    Didn't say it was old tech. I said Bitcoin devs tend to be slow and reluctant to change. And that's true. That said it will be old tech soon if they don't get their shit together. And yeah my X feed is full of various developers complaining about having to use Kimi to patch stuff because GPT...

    What's crazy is that a lot of them haven't been invulnerable at all. We just thought they were. In a lot of cases, the exploits have been sitting there the whole time, undiscovered. Until now, thanks to Mythos-level AI. Crypto has always been half tech and half money. Up until recently the tech...

    The main thing I'm lowkey worried about for this server is that the devs are going to feel forced to alter core mechanics stuff to keep things challenging/balanced and it will end up with a game that stops feeling like EQ at some point. Not talking about content, really. I think a mix of...

    That's exactly what I was trying to figure out- thanks. I don't think I'd use it with a melee based combo, but my idea was exactly what you mentioned: brd/wiz/enc. Super fast mana regen, kiting monster, charms, slows, and CC. Seems like it would kill fast, kill lots (aoe), and recover quickly...

    Now that bard seems much more viable without needing to equip instruments in weapon slots, I'm curious if anyone here has experience playing one as part of a trio? If so what trio are you using and how is the bard working out?

    Holy shit. Yeah that changes everything. Thanks.

    I keep considering a trio that includes Bard, but I can't get past the fact that most bard songs suck if you don't equip an instrument and I want to be able to dw. Obviously with the bard epic that's not an issue but is there anything earlier that makes a bard without instruments worth playing?

    Ah ok. So if I want to go the paid route: 1. Pay to unlock ogre. 2. Start as agnostic DE enchanter (to lock in agnostic) 3. Level any class duo up to 10. And make sure to switch one class to pally before 11. 4. Level to 11 and choose pally as main. 5. Switch to Ogre as race. Sorry if I'm...

    Fucking hell. Seems complicated lol. You have pretty much the exact race/classes set up I want. Didn't realize there were so many steps to get there. I might DM you for more info. I didn't play beta so maybe this is less complicated than it seems

    Eh that's what I was thinking. I see why she is so popular. If both slow and heals are a must shm fits both bills in one class. Tempted to try pal/nec/monk to see if taps/leech/mend/pal heals is enough

    A primary healing class (shm, clr, dru) a necessity if you have a PAL? Wondering if I can get away with just a PAL and two non healing classes.

    Actually agree with you here. The people underwater right now feel bad but as long as you aren't planning on selling anytime soon I'd feel pretty good you're going to come out on top in the end.

    I was planning pal/enc/wiz myself. Went Pal over sk because I was concerned that the taps/leeches an sk gets wouldn't hold up in big fights compared to the healing a pal gets. I've always found pal/enc to be an extremely effective/underrated combo. And sk/enc always felt inefficient bc clarity...
