Just wait for hollowed oath. Secrets and rogean have the technical ability, but they don’t have an individual with good game design sense.

It’s the same problem as regular EQ’s head being JChan. She was probably a great engineer and their performance improvement projects go well, but their game design and direction flops.

Put out of order signs on gender neutral bathrooms to offset this game

Reminds me of when I went to Anime Boston and they had these huge "Gender-Inclusive Bathroom" banners hanging over every single bathroom entrance in the Hynes Convention Center. It was like stepping into another world of inclusivity. And I thought... how necessary is this effort? And if it's really that many folks, what do all these folks do when they leave here and are faced with the tyranny of the rest of the world's bathrooms?

Maybe I'm just old. Being in your 30's is old now btw


I totally missed the boat on Vanguard (which is a shame because I really wanted to play it at some point, just never had time). The emulator still around? Well I still don't have time.

Am I right that EQ2 and Vanguard are basically competing successors to EQ, one from the company that owned it / some of the original devs, and one from the original head developer / some of the other devs?

Cause if so, imagine if those efforts had been combined into one single vision with the Sony budget behind it. Hell, imagine if all that energy had been put into EQ1 instead of cannibalizing its fanbase.

Is the "too much brown" a racial thing because the game has a Middle-East theme for characters/outfits/etc, or is it because the game is full of brown terrain ala every game from the late 2000s?

I got to level 20ish in EQ2 and remember THAT game being very brown, as well as the outdoor environments being full of walls. Every zone was a bit of a maze, like Rathe Mountains on crack (or the original Nektulos remake before they threw it out and did the current Nektulos remake). I actually kinda hated the game.

Vanguard was more EQ than EQ2.

I don't know if there's an emulator for Vanguard. I haven't played it since it's release and it was pure trash. Ended up going to EQ2 before WoW.

The "too much brown" joke is because the color palette for Vanguard is just various shades of brown.

yea idk how much confidence i have in some guys who put together a decent emu with existing parts to build their own brand new game from scratch.

I much prefer the australian no sounding tunare that jeff is pushing to the typical tuNAIR which is fucking awful how are you clowns still defending it? Meanwhile the first 4 letters are tuna so it should just be tuna with some reeeeeee after.

luck lin is what I've always said and anyone saying loose is and always has been a low testosterone weakling who the fuck speaks that way.

I actually had a different former dev mention tunare like in this video in a chat talking about how wrong people are. And I remember sitting there saying "tuNAAAAAAre tuNAAAAAre" to try to get it right. Then he said something else like I think "key lee ohs" or "my THANE yell" or I forget what the second one was because I decided man fuck that.

It's hilarious to see the old is new again. The pronunciation of Tunare was discussed back in the day and today...this thread went from who sucks dick to Tunare.

If you go by what was officially claimed back in the classic days and what was widely accepted back then... It's Too-nah-ray.

Also... who fucking cares?!
