This section of the forum has more toxic and angry people than all the rest combined. EQ Legands isn’t their perfect version so it automatically sucks, rather than being a decent compromise for casual fun.
Oh, and if you disagree then you’re a faggot. Obviously.

I'm usually captain of the white knight gang over here, and even I'm pretty meh on some of the decisions on this one. Personally taking a wait and see how people feel after the new wears off before I consider jumping in. I suspect that the monetization will cripple the fun potential here. I've said it before, but if this was FTP or even buy to play I could see it... But if it's a box price + sub + some level of pay2win, or even just pay4convenience... Probably too much for me.

Not because of some idealogical purpose really, just a clear indicator that the wrong people are making gameplay choices.

I watched some of the more recent live stream videos and I think I understand why they implemented some things way different than THJ. From the look and feel they (maybe?) expect or better want people to play 6 month or even a year on a sub until they release the next expansion. Which is fair from their point of view as a business. THJ had 3 expansions in around 7 months if I remember correctly and the power creep of some combos was so massive, people soloed Vulak'Aerr the day they released TOV.
I liked what I saw that you can solo the zones but it's not like on THJ were you pulled the whole zone. One of the beta streamer who knows his stuff died on a 18 SK/ROG/BRD in Unrest because he couldn't handled that one more mummy after pulling 5 ghouls. And that is okay, it looks like you won't be immortal at one point and you have to put more effort into your gear (I like the 1+1 mechanic a lot, encourages farming). The "respawn in the zone you died" is amazing among other QOL changes.

I'll definitely give it a try if they do not do something unbelievable stupid until release. Not much on the horizon regarding MMOs in 2026 anyway.

I don't have all the context for why there is so much negativity. I haven't played any EQ Emu servers outside of P99 and Shards of Delaya, so I'm sure I'm missing out on all kinds of drama. With that said, the videos I've seen of this so far look really promising. I'm pretty excited to go back to Norrath and enjoy it with the more limited time I have these days.

It’s because everyone was expecting a THJ clone, which like several emus out right now, is built more like an arpg. EQL appears to be much slower paced while still offering multi class and the ability to solo raid content but it won’t be as facerollable as THJ.

The server is like 88% THJ and people are mad it's not 100%.

I don't think I ever died on THJ outside of AEing entire zones at max level or the hardest raid bosses. It just wasn't really possible once you got to a point. If you were a paladin hybrid you'd get slay undead and shit and walk around just doing 8x the damage to undead frogs and most of my time was sitting waiting for all the respawns. It felt fun, but looking back at it there's definitely a better pace between pulling everything and killing it in one 15 second interval and killing every mob over 120 seconds like classic EQ. From what I've seen on T1-2 yellow mobs are taking like a minute+ to kill which still seems a bit long to me, but it could be bad comps/bad gear/low AA's. Like I said, stuff like Slay Undead and Assassinate did a LOT of heavy lifting early on for THJ.
