Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

Even BDO - which is one of the grindiest, sweatiest MMOs ever - eventually realized that "regional" banking is fucking retarded and serves no realistic purpose, other than frustrating players.

To me, they need to be more open with allowing trade to flow between ALL players. The banks being regional is nice for "immersion" but a big BIG time waste and community breaking device.

As the world stands right now, the 2 deep places are essentially cut off from everything else and vice versa with faction and location. Even just the difference between NH and Elf land had a disproportionate economy and item availability.

Yes, there will be people that will LOVE being an inter-regional tradesmen and that is "what they do" buying medium ranked items in one place and selling them as rare in another etc. etc. but with how much they keep suppressing cash availability, it is going to be bad for a long time - then you add in disenchanting items...

UD banks are connected to NH. AV banks are not.

It is also a 3-5 min run from UD to NH.

I think on the east coast server if it maintains crazy high pop, the split banks might work? For box server and other servers barely clinging to some form of economy the banks will just make it worse. I don’t expect much of an economy on box server regardless, basically gonna be camping something if I want it

Might go for a Deep Elf necromancer.

What servers are you US people playing on? Not sure if I want to be on a EU server.

Actually got myself a little hyped. I think after people flocked to the Forever beta the EQ nostalgia in me woke up. I have no interest in WoW again, but old school EQ-like looks nice.

I can see UD ending up being the trade hub if it keeps the current setup.

They should probably consider adding a quest chain or rep feature for bank linking. Would add another level of progression to chase and something to look forward to, could potentially be a money sink as well.

While “way faster” in combat… it is the most EQ than anything since EQ.

Just go to the wiki, start at night harbor, look at the maps and info, then move outward zone by zone… the info gets more sparse and sparse - the maps get more nebulous and super basic…

Unlike p99 or a classic server, you do not “know” from memory or availability the entire game, or even just what you did last time you did EQ for the 10th time.

There is still some magic to explore, you can forge friendships and get to know people because its currently not just a DDR race to 60.

Is it perfect? No- you cant see anything for 75% of the game day normally… the zones are too big… not “empty” just too darn big. if they get the world to the size they say, and the player size is what it is… you will have a highly abandoned world.

Player models are a personal peeve, i dont like not really being able to “see” the armor and weapons etc “easily” like EQ, even wow… wood elves suck…

Sooo… MnM or EQ again?? May as well do MnM
