Havent played my cleric in a week or so, still at 42. Started an Iksar Necro for solo, low-man and between groups on my cleric. It's more fun than standing around and throwing a heal once in a while too. Necro name is Putride.

Trying to make money on my cleric 35 is hard. There does not seem to be a lot of target worth money on this server. I'm trying to save to buy Platinum Bars for my SolRo armor quests.

After two 3+ hours grind I managed to level up to 34 starting from 22. Also made enough money to buy the important spells I needed (24, 29, 34, 39). So I would say it pays to hang on.

Finally got a good group going without too much PvP to hinder it and people coming to keep group full for a few hours. Got my cleric from 22 to 28. Still struggling for money and wearing Patchwork armor from turning in CB belts last week... Had to de-guild to be able to group. Some people just...

Love the exp rate (maybe a bit too fast with a full goup IMO) but if only this was not PvP...

Torn between healer or caster... always been front row, want to try something different. Cleric, Druid, Enchanter or Wizard... Anyway to know what the population looks like? Are there any shortage of one of those classes (probably not Druid if its like blue)?

Been watching people streaming P99 for a while during the holidays. Tempted to start playing again but my playtime is prolly not enough for P99. Red with its EXP bonus is prolly the best option out there. Would love a non-PvP server with classic only or with kunark max. Anyone if P99 owners are...

Imagine if they had support from SoE... 15 years old MMO veteran here, played a ton of them and also spent quite a lot of time on emulated/private servers. While a lot of servers are managed by not so great staff, some have very solid team of dev/coders/scripters and come up with brilliant...

Dont forget that many people interested will just not fund at all for various reasons.

I thought history served to learn from our mistakes and not to repeat them... Brad already shown his skills in managing a project like the rise of a game company. I'm not sure why the KS disaster is surprising to anyone. I dont think we will ever see a niche MMO (like one catered to people on...

Yeah, because experienced people work for minimum wage.

Tokens as a mean to ensure you get something out of running a dungeon/raid 60 times is somewhat understandable, but DDO system of picking a loot from the dungeon/raid drop table after 20 completion made more sense to me. I think I still prefer EQ's total randomness even if it's frustrating...

Running BRD with my 2 RL friends we made friends we added to our list for when we needed a mage to run dungeons without getting a headache. This was before they grouped you with people from other realms tho...

Vanguard, outside of the in-game issues that could have been worked on, suffered from bad timing IMO. Players were tired of these old mechanics and, more importantly, were busy trying the new mechanics that WoW was offering. Like many said, vanilla WoW was good and it took a few more years of...

Servers do not need to have 10k ppl population. If you set the threshold lower you can have contested content.

Want to see a raid where the goal all along is to try and get rid/hide/destroy the weapon of choice of the last boss before you finally face him off giving you a chance to beat him.

That's why I would like to see a game focus on a smaller world but making it evolve in time with patches and expansions. If you only enlarge the world with each expansions you end up having to introduce fast travel. Would be interesting to see a game 10 years old still maintaining their original...

Outside of an item granted to you by gods or other hugely powerful beings, it really does not make sense to me to have binding gear. I also prefer endgame encounters dropping materials for crafted gear (even if crafters are NPCs in a game without crafting for players).

It's something that has been missing in MMOs mostly because of the "everything binds to character" plague that hit a while ago. To me, items should be rarer, with a purpose (instead of having random stats) and have a life cycle where they get worned out (after a long period, months IRL, could be...

I also love the idea of having high and low level players interracting together to trade/sell/buy item, request buffs, pass-by in a zone where mobs have a big level range or saving each other asses from time to time.

What if your mount could be killed? I mean, if you get caught by trolls or ogres, it likely that your mount would escape in the wilds or gets killed...

I remember during WoW development reading that dungeons would have a public non-instanced portion and an instance part deeper in... there was what 2 of them in the end? With the non-instanced part being pointless and later completely unseen when the LFG tool teleported you in... at this point...

I would love to see a game focus less of world size (especially to later have a fast travel that kills the point of having a large world) and extra land with every expansions, to instead have the world evolve with every expansions. Basically, expansions (and patches) change the world without...

Someone mentionned automation systems of FF10/12 and it spawned something in my mind. I wonder if it would work, because that could change the gameplay of support/healer classes. Think of a simple combat system driven by auto-attack(s) (and possibly an auto-heal function for healers) then add an...

To me, EQ-like games are fun because you basically log in without knowing exactly what you will do. It's an alternate world you live in. You go where your friends are or where you feel like going. WoW-like games always ended up like chores you log in to cap your points/tokens or to raid the...

Cuts my immersion away too. Especially when I start to think about the origin of a INT bow in WoW... who the fuck spent time making that item? for what purpose? Granted my D&D background where making a magical item was a lot more work than WoW suggest...

I always hated that (even when the auto attack damage percentage was higher) since it creates a huge gap between good and bad people (and the frustration of being grouped with unskilled players). In EQ a rogue was doing as much damage as his gear allowed (unless they stopped back-stabbing...)...

Was it not the other way around, they made normal more accessible to casual players (so they could see the designed content/storyline) and added heroic to migrate the old "normal" mode for those that wanted a challenge? EQ raiding "difficulty" was not the content itself, it was what was...

MMOs are immersive games and every decision to break away from that immersive feeling, even for good quality of life reasons, ended up worsening the game for me. In EQ we saw a lot of that with: moving from real-life-like open markets in EC to level one naked AFK toons in Bazaar, user based fast...

To me, the only way that could happen (EQ or anything else) would be to provide players with a wide variety of very different rulesets to appeal every kind of gamer. Some for solo gameplay, other for massive raiding, some with very light penalties, others with harsh ones. Basically, make a...

Doubt this will ever be f2p, they could come up with a free box at best but I would not expect f2p after YoshiP's comments earlier this year.

Niche is the way to go, or so it seems these days, but most fail to see the possibility of having a game with different cores. What the genre needs is a game that has a versatile engine to offer a wide range of different rulesets instead of the boring three we always get. Give those who just...

Mahulk Painbringer on Malboro also.

Was looking forward to roll with a community of mature players with a similar background to mine since most of my friends are not following me in that game, but the server choice made me sad. The reddit and other kid or hater communities I can live with, but the queue is a dealbreaker. Rolled on...

This is exactly what I have planned, level GLD and MRD to have both available should one be more useful than the other for each event/dungeon/raid. Then should one be completely useless you have the other to fall back to until they balance them. From looking at skills, PLD seems the clear winner...

I'm not sure jobs are "required". You could stay Archer and mix in some +DMG moves from Lancer/Pugilist/etc. and basically be a Ranger... Of course people will try to convince you, but you can show them the finger. Jobs only offer a niche with a defined role or some special moves unavailable...

For years now the MMO community has been talking about a "next-gen" MMO. A game that will bring that gaming genre to a new level. Game promoters even use the term in their marketing pitch. People have different opinion about what makes a game "next-gen", a core feature, a subscription model, a...
