    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    The weapon procs for almost everything work for full value at level 1. It's absurd how OP it is. Especially if you buy some slots with AA clicks that work at level 1 like a 100+ damage shield and 90 +hp/mana regen. Leveling path changes to Crescent Reach 1-18 killing whatever reds keep giving...

    It’s way more fun to super twink and kill the crap yourself on vaniki. Buy a conflagrant 2 hander with a lifetap proc for 1/10th a krono, slap it on a SK and make whatever else you want to drag along and go on a rampage. I guarantee that anyone who gears out level 1s on vaniki will have fun...

    I wish this simple comment could be pinned to every single discord server. So many raids the same people repeating the same dumb shit night after night. Find new material! You have a captive audience. Stop doing callbacks to the same inside jokes that were funny once or twice and evolve!

    The 1 life permadeath server lasted THREE WEEKS before they shut it down. They will never do pvp or hardcore mode servers again. It doesn't make them money and/or retain customers.

    Getting dogpiled in discord over turning in a few items to Marcia each week for nobles was a real highlight of my time on Mischief.

    I've found Vaniki to really be the best nostalgia server to play through older content. They removed all the level requirements on gear so you can take level 100+ tradeskill gear and slap it on level 1's. It will scale down very low at first but by level 10 you are a monster. I put a honed...

    I think selo had the right idea with launching in a later expansion. Killing emp with naked toons at 60 was good fun. I don't think any specific tweaks they can make to the game itself to make it harder will really do anything. The game has been solved many times over. I think they only way...

    You need those level cap increases for the multiple stacks per cast of the current and previous 2 tiers of the spell. That is what I was getting at. My ballpark estimate that was around SoD era there would have been enough level cap increases for those spells to be at full value.
