Why are they using Froglok characters in their nostalgia bait. The fall of grobb was the beginning of the end.

I mean, I guess if you're slow you could say that THJ might've drawn inspiration from Classless. But even that's a pretty massive stretch.

THJ was about 5% similar to the list of shit you posted.
Off the top of my head, the substantial differences between the two were the item system that they brought over from their previous server and I do not believe classless had gated progression. THJ's overall presentation and packaging were miles ahead of the previous iterations of multiclass servers.

THJ wasnt just inspired by classless, it was an iteration of the Classless code. The version of the .dlls they were using to detour made it pretty obvious where their code came from.

Im excited to play this. THJ was fun as hell but had some shit that irritated me. Music was missing here and there. New spell effects and models. I read that the devs went deep into the old EQ files to retreive original textures and music, etc. I love the old EQ spell effects and loath the new ones.

Im there day one! Paladin/Druid/Monk will melt faces!
 
I bet anything they make them cut all the custom content. Things that made THJ great like leveling items, hub zone (old baz), custom bosses (kera/seru4/4/zeb). It's going to be so water downed lite version that most of the hard core players won't play it anyways.

Imagine THJ without the zone teleporter, item leveling or zeb endgame grind, oooooof.

I feel like this has already been done by THJ. That was engaging for what, 20 hours or however long it took to get enough AAs to stomp through the planes. This is subscription based time gated expansion THJ, right?

MnM is taking the torch of the pathetic daybreak legacy of EQ. That is where effort is going.

My comment was about this forum being pathetic now and pushing slop solo action RPG knockoffs. Y'all are just Dad gamers who never accomplished difficult goals and want to do it with cheat codes and no social interaction.

Pathetic. FoH use to be the land of the hardcore. Now it's the land of pussies.

You haven't changed in the last 25-ish years?

Also, why can't we be interested in both this and MnM?

I wonder if Secrets has the balls to put Male and Female sex designators into EverQuest Legends character creation or will he go full alphabet and shoehorn in Body Type?

Well, I mean it has been fully done by thj. That’s basically as far as the concept goes, and anyone who played fora bit probably got their fill of it.

I feel like I’m missing something, how is anyone interested in this?
If the goal is to recreate the THJ experience, why wouldn't people be interested in it? A lot of people really enjoyed THJ.

For you people living under a rock heres the short version:

Two emu devs worked with secrets to make an emu called The Heroes Journey (THJ)

THJ was wildly successful and made millions of dollars in donations.

THJ devs reached out to dbg to do a collaboration/get an official partnership/permission going while they were developing it but dbg never responded.

Secrets lied to the thj devs/gave bad advice all while secretly working with dbg to steal their idea.

Dbg sued and had thj shut down.

Secrets took the code base they developed and is launching it as everquest legends.

So after many failed and unpopular emu projects secrets basically used thj to a/b test what worked, stole it and got dbg to let them release it officially.

The people who actually created this cool idea are making their own game called hollowed oath, it has its own thread. If you think this idea is cool and want to give money to anyone, give it to them, fuck secrets and dbg.


PS: Never trust a tranny
Is this true, S Secrets ? If so, please show bobs and vegana.
