Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

Arbitrary · Feb 7, 2021

It wasn't easy to tell in Velious but getting to walk around the Nexus and Bazaar Aradune is just packed with people.

They've had problems for a while but DPG/DBG account management system is terrible. I'm trying to re-activate an account right now but it keeps telling me to click the "Payment Card on File" button, which doesn't exist, and so it won't let me sub. Lol

I mean maybe if another guild killed emp by now, you could say you were racing. But 5 days in and 1 guild with a emp kill means that no one is really trying but you guys. Everyone else is going at their own pace, amd has been mostly friendly...

until TEB comes to a camp and tries to take it with their Zerg. Like last night at The Gray. You needed 25+ people to go against 11 MR people.

There are DZ guilds that have already finished the expansion in faster times than most prior top server guilds....LOL what you on about

Out of curiosity I checked the times and V Vise and his guild cleared Luclin on Aradune in 79 hours, 33 minutes and 33 seconds. This makes them the third fastest time ever, and the second fastest time ever without pulling Emperor Ssraeshza out of his room. Awesome to see so many guild on Aradune performing so well.

Interested in hearing what Vise would say is the biggest difference he has noticed since he led raiding guilds on like 3-4 of the last TLPs in a row where he did Luclin every time.

I'm sorry - I didn't see a post on the EQ forums like TEB always does, so I wasn't sure anyone else was playing the game.

Its hard to narrow it down to one thing. Myself as a leader, My leadership team, and my members have a whole lot more experience and knowledge on these expansions now. we have a large guild full of experienced players which allowed us to put a plan into place to avoid fighting for camps with TEB and efficiently farm keys.

All they would need to do for a casual server is to have selo experience and remove all flagging for any DZ. OW would still require the flagging requirements.

This would make it about the raids, and not the key camps. A lot less toxic competition.

It's right on the launcher, click on 'my 'all access''. Doesn't show days left, just when the sub runs out. This way you don't have to log into the game. Which takes way too long.

I forgot the box from AR was WAAAYYY better on this server which did effect the time a little but not much.

Luclin raid mobs are soo trivial fight wise, It's even more boring then Luclin. At least AoW does alot of single i mean.. Everything seems like just sleep walking with vel gear and low aa's even.

They should put Vel on something like classic-kunark motm, luclin on Kunark.

so you can auto attack for 15 minutes instead of 8? God bless eq

The race to get into x place is always the goal which requires numbers and organization. Killing the mobs has always been a foregone conclusion once the requirements to enter has been met. There have been a few servers where this was pretty fun because there were equal parties racing. The way EQ is setup the greater numbers of course always have the advantage during the race.

I know there are a ton of solutions out there which could make the mobs in the race actually matter but most require far to much dev time which wont happen. I still think the easiest way to make the race focus more on mobs and not on numbers is to remove all OW raid mobs which have MOTM up to and including POP. Reduce DZ size limit to 54 up to and including POP. This would force people into smaller guilds and make good players a premium. Even at 54 it wont be a hard challenge but it will atleast make you think twice before guilding with so many bad players.

Next TLP
- Mangler Copy same EXP, Truebox rules
- All OW mobs with MOTM have been removed
- All DZs max at 54 players

I like this idea myself. You would have to make all gear no drop as well. Otherwise, you are going to end up with one zerg guild. That would have like 3 feeder/alt raids to gear up everyone in the main raid force. This is really the last TLP idea for a race of any kind. I would come back, and play on this server.

Classic MotM on Velious CT was amazing fun and unexpected. Half the raid was killed and it was a giant shitshow. Would have been less fun if we knew it was coming though.

Taking OW MOTM mobs out doesn't really change much at all in terms of racing when it comes to numbers. Neither does lowering the max players in a DZ.

TEB did basically 0 OW mobs during the Luclin race until VT which we did OW. Emp we did in a DZ so no one could snipe the rift mobs from us and we got 99% of our orbs from just dz splits.

Anecdotally I feel we had more NBN than AM competing with us at Emp key/shard camps during the first few days
