I had the opportunity to chat with Qwalla recently. She’s the developer who was behind the majority of the Oakwynd ruleset (everything except Encounter Locking). Sharing it here since it’s a bit topical.

Nice get!

Been really enjoying your pods btw. As someone who didn't touch this game from like 2002-2018, didn't follow it, didn't know even know about p99 or TLPS until 2018 - it's really cool hearing these oral histories of EQ during that time. Should also be fun hearing stories about the servers I've been on.

Yeah I didn't know what to expect going in and have ended up enjoying each one. I'm really looking forward to selo shit talk and aradune embellishments.

any of you fuckers get jboots yet? i assume they're heirloom right?

They're heirloom. You can move them between your characters. The click at level one only lasts like a minute or two which is kinda funny. It scales up quickly though.

This has happened to me many times. EQ camp going on too long, post complaining, there it is. Or other games, can't beat a boss? Complain to people in the heat of the moment about how much I hate this game now, win on the next try, then have to retract my previous opinion.

Oh yeah there's totally some kind of hidden complaint code, it's like a reverse of "The Secret" that runs on negative energy.

Was with you until this shit. Only pussies admit when they're wrong, real men take that shit to their graves

Real Talk

Many years ago sometime in the 90’s I heard the Def Leopard song Pour Some Sugar On Me on the radio and I thought the song said “ You got the bitches I got the weed!” and my buddy Vonpol Vonpol said “no way dude, that would be too bad ass.”

I still think it says that instead of “You got the peaches, I got the cream.”

In the Def Leopard song Pour Some Sugar On Me sometime in the mid 90’s when I heard it stoned I thought the song said “ I got the bitches you got the weed!” and my buddy Vonpol Vonpol said “no way dude, that would be too bad ass.”

I still think it says that instead of “You got the peaches, I got the cream.”

I still to this day don't know the lyrics to "You could be mine". End credits music from T2. Heard it as a kid, had no idea what they were saying, intentionally never fixed that because kid me made his own version of it. "You could be my-eyennnn, but you're way, out of pie-ie! When your lips start smacking and the food gets cold!"

That's it, that's all the lyrics I made up

The guards at the gates or that otherwise guard newbie areas are all buffed and not something that makes even a lick of sense to interact with unless you want to die. General town guards tend to be fairly resistant but not absurdly so. If you're inside Felwithe they're all killable but trying snare and fear you'll need tash for either to be reliable. You can land fire dots and lifetaps which is enough to get the job done. If you're just broke and trying to grind cash the troll guards are all chumps. The faction hits are just the guards and that's all fixable with fire beetle eyes if for some reason it matters. On the other end killing them gives you faction with Lynuga which can be handy.

Trying to think of other shit to farm, got bored and did: another pair of jboots, molten cloak, another guise today which has been fun. I'm thinking of trying for rubicite shit since ive never really done CT, i assume i can solo everything there at 47 as a nec?


edit: what resist gear is worth grabbing for a monk? gonna go back and lvl mine but i should probably buy him some MR, i hate pulling guk without it. just a bunch of jewellery pieces i assume?
