    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Bards are retarded good in TBS. It must be a bug but the 71 self buff in TBS makes em max hit everything.

    Personally feel citadels/fozzie sov/excessive jump fatigue/cap and super rebalance killed the game. Eve in dominion era. Think 2010 to 2016 was the greatest MMORPG experience since EQ in 99.... RIP Black Legion and Tishu, amazing groups in their prime and frankly BL was likely the greatest...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I main a cleric on Aradune. Ranger is my 2 box. Granted he's probably more geared closer to your avg raid main on server with 2.5, Mayong hammer. Mix of cultural last blood and tss armor. I've never had an issue tanking/duong group content with him since. GoD. Even just cleric + ranger I can...

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

    TSS Starts opens in under 2 weeks now! Great time to join or come back to Aradune! You get tons of Autogrant (Like 600 when there is like maybe at 1200 at best) and I know some of our members were getting 70 in 9hrs played even before the XP bonus. Not hard to get geared up fast either. Thats...

    Psyched for OOW launch today! Race gonna be fun. Hopefully with no DBG curveball even if the servers going down did make GoD more exciting. The whole 24 man anguish been fun in practice so far. GoD was an excellent xpac... I never lacked for things to do like PoP. Or felt the raids were...

    That sudden "SERVERS COMING DOWN ANY MINUTE FOR EMERGENCY PATCH" Message sure made the GoD race interesting. We had just started Uuoqa, in the gas chamber and had to decide if we wanted to risk it after being told there would be no countdown/warning. Basically, if we beat a boss but failed to...

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

    We thought that. Im sure it will be true eventually. But right now all the people joining in the last month are legit newbros. Its possible i think the very high number of real players and lack of box army will actually help Aradune,? Contamination did break up. But we did not recruit any of...

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

    Gotta say i was worried about population. But right now we actually have more lon raids then before new server launched. Odd thing pis we got more new player recruits in the last month then any time before that. Maybe people who came for mischief but didnt like the ruleset? Idk. I dunno how...

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

    I joined Aradune in kunark. So i missed the botched launch. But my impression was you had player numbers drop off late kun + after about a month in vel. Bc there is little to do besides raiding and most groupable gear was becoming near worthless for the latter and the former was suffering...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Of course the free loot server is doing well right out of the gate. The fast unlocks for kun and vel will keep it alive for way longer then if 3 months.. but its going to be dead in 6 to 8 months best case.... Even the most casual will be turned off by a server where loot is virtually...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    The loot situation is kinda neat in a way. But its hard to not see this turning into a situation where the end result is loot is so volumus to the point everything except bis gear becomes worthless at a blindingly fast rate. I made a necro and mage. But i feel like i really need people to...

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

    All this drama is amusing but i think there's been this slightly unrealistic picture painted of Aradune based on it. I've actually had a pretty good time on on the server and from what i've seen so have the vast majority of people not involved in pushing for server firsts. Not that there's...

    For the guy just restarting after 20 years or wwhatever. I recently did the same thing last Sept on Aradune. The first 10 levels or snouts are the absolute worst part. After nearly quitting I managed getting 43 in few days since the game get a way better once you start grouping with a more...

    Luclin raid mobs are soo trivial fight wise, It's even more boring then Luclin. At least AoW does alot of single i mean.. Everything seems like just sleep walking with vel gear and low aa's even. They should put Vel on something like classic-kunark motm, luclin on Kunark.

    Thank Fironia for the bazaar. Before Aradune I had this Rose tinted EC run nostalgia. Reality smashed it.

    So, i got tricked into resubbing my last account right before the m2 fight. That was fucking crazy, I was in a Nyx on the papi side. We killed Dread after dread after dread. I remember thinking "were killing like a dread every few seconds of real time. yet even this is only a small part of the...

    In fairness to TEB I heard all kinds of shit about them from others. But never had any issue with them in game. Despite living in Etov first 2 to 3 weeks of vel. During that time basically got trained by every other guild on server. Lol, Ashen dudes and the 50 man Hot groups. In sure those guys...

    No. But like I said, I saw a known Chinese border from that guild warp in a minute beforehand. Aside from myself, the other few guys waiting on KT whom I know had no idea what was going on, and then the bobbins guy no one else was around before the boys warped in I told no one about the Anzac...

    I can't link on this device atm but the "Anzac raids" leader guy admitted that it's some guild member of theres who tried the 70 boxing KT on Xmas day. He even admits his others members warped in to try and save his sorry aas after I trained him lol. I should have realized the banban guy and...

    It blows my mind any guild could actually fail to kill any velious raid mobs in era on a tlp server. The mobs are just not very hard nowadays and once you get a lil vel raid gear basically all are trivial to even the most . Even if you cut dps in 1/2th again on top of everything it would still...

    I just realized 25 years of online gaming i never got banned or suspended once before. At least it screwed up that cheaters day and drew attention to him and dpg's awful CS policies. Of course they just deleted the thread the videos were posted in now for no apparent reason. I'm not a...

    So these DBG assholes actually suspended my cleric account when i tried to log on a minute ago " Your account has been suspended for toxic behavior. For more information click here." This is some bullshit man. "Toxic behaviour" ? lol, the irony wtf

    Yeah, I was the guy who trained him. Had woken up like 30 mins earlier and saw KR pop so few of us tried to get a faction hit. I had got to the TR and someone else trained me, I wasn't sure where he was and just ran into him. You can see he's positioned almost perfectly so you can't see shit...

    Post Punk, Shoegaze Thread

    I love the Well known Classic Shoegaze acts. Think MBV, Ride, Slowdive. Who were pretty much the "big three" of the genre. Unless i'm missing something because it's late. There were a few second tier bands from that period that had the odd great single. Lush, Catherine Wheel. But sadly i find...

    Does anyone know what Faction is required to hand in the White Dragon Helm to Yelinak and cycle it to boots? I found a ton of sites saying you need Amiable for the head turn in.

    Just to clarify. You are able to kill Vulak and NToV Thursday, then Come back Tuesday and still kill doze ect. without it pushing back vulak or anything? People in my guild seem to think by killing vulak we are locked out of the whole thing until a week later.

    Question about dz lockouts. If my guild does NToV on a Sat. Can we then wait till tues before going to do west on that day. If we did would we be able to do ntov and west the following sat/tuesday? I am assuming under this scenario we get no trash loot. But i dunno about splitting the bosses...

    I think you guys saying they overpaid are looking at it wrong. I know industry trade shows often go for 8x to 20x ebitda, well pre covid at least. Because they have the advantage of low fixed costs, a good history of consistant revenue, and an excellent probability to stay as such. Plus they...
