Like 3-4 years ago when I was playing EQ for the 8th time, me and my brother parked our shit in the hole, the temple area with all of our mercs overnight for AA farming. They would slaughter everything no problem.

If they ever do a freeloot TLP it will be one of the main selling points that they advertise it as. Not some random throw in.

Rather they had started at Velious, but Luclin is the second best option I guess. My logic being I'd rather just worry with the grind to 60 and raid full time instead of worrying with grind to 60 PLUS the AA grind on top of that on launch while obsessively raiding nightly.
They did change the title from "casual" server to "fast progression" server for Selos, yes?

The grind to 60 is going to be like a day or something. And yes they rebranded it as fast progression and turned Mangler into Phinny 3.0 with better xp.

How big a difference will no focus effects be? I wonder which items they will forget about and those will work. White Dragoncale Cloak w/o Imp Damage is meh.

Assuming your guild was making wdc go to dps and bcg to necros then dot classes... playing a cleric in classic eq was fucking lame. There was very literally nothing worth chasing except a retarded shield you would be swapping out next expansion still. You need a ton on raids, especially sky, but there was nothing for you and you had to hope your guild let you bank the dkp for later.
Now every fucking caster can feel the same way.
Glad they made Mangler reasonable though taking out Focus effects is dumb. That is the least of why casters have an advantage early on, which seems mostly due to buffed spells and lowered resists. As you said, it just kills incentive to raid.
Very interested to see how Selo goes but can't pretend I could keep up after LDoN when it actually kicks into high gear.

almost double can be anywhere from 1.5 to 1.99999 times rf speed. there's a huge gap between those.

Not only is there a variable amount, there is also the likely 20th bonus which could be 100% or could be something else arbitrary or could be excluding these 2 servers.
This is before shit like zone crowding and hostile neighbors while trying to grind. My premade has a druid so after 26 we can always "fuck this" if it happens. I strongly suspect many of us will end up in some toxic crowd given how many premades there are plus just a Saturday release may see others/casuals/puggers playing late and clowning around places. Some group boating to iceclad and just fucking up garbage for basic level xp may easily pass people trying to do higher zem shit like mseru or kaesora if the latter get harassed.

The great thing about starting in Luclin is that griefers will be more spread out. I dont think it will be that bad.
