Yeah, the game is similar to Pantheon in that you get upgrades to light sources as you go. The lantern early in the game improves on the torch. At least it did. It's been a bit since I've played. All part of the power dynamic. You start off as a blind goon, and eventually you acquire ways to negate the degree of darkness. Same with bag space. Same with spell/ability power. Same with everything.

Chat appears to be broken. When i type, it does not show up in chat. Same for /tell ( when i type i see the text im typing, but then i hit enter and it just disappears)
Cannot feature out how to fix that. Only thing i see is what mobs and guards say.
Also I cannot find the guild registar hall. Supposed to be via west gate, so i ran along the boulvard, no luck.

I had quite a bit more fun this time than last. Everything ran significantly smoother, my character had less lag, and the mob density was fine. Things i had issues with. Playing a monk i was limited to leather armor... mostly. It also also seemed to indicate in the class description that using no weapons would be best. I've played a bunch of other classes at this point and my issues seem to all be related to this being a new game, with little info about good weapons and armor strats and that's it.
Probably my biggest problem was the Ui. It works fine but it's also going to take a fuckton of time to get it where I want it. For pre alpha this looks amazing.
All of these are just new game issues for me, nothing related to game failings. I didn't bother to group so I can't speak to that since I didn't want to work on a group chat window.

It being part of the "progression path" definitely makes it more palatable. However, you still have to attract a "new" swathe of customers if you want to keep the lights on.
EQ is proof positive that you can't just live off of boomer nostalgia juice. It's telling that EQ's most successful server in probably 15+ years was a "casual Dad" EMU, not even a tedium reduced TLP - which also says nothing of the P99-esque crowd this game is seemingly trying to attract.
I hope people enjoy yet another hit of chasing the nostalgia dragon, but I have a feeling it's going to be about as popular as Ember's Adrift was in the end.

I have literally never sat on my hands out of protest/frustration over a night cycle
Torch or fire beetle eye, no prob
The starting candle on p99 is like a garage floodlight, it should have only illuminated your character and nothing around them
I gave up trying to help those ppl

What they should do IMO is have the overworld/outdoor zones actually have decent night lighting (you know... like the moon and stars do in real life...) which would look like Infravision did in EQ. If you have the subterranean worlds / caves / dungeons then make those super dark without a torch or campfire or whatevs. It just feels dumb to look up at a skybox full of bright stars and then be completely blind on the surface of the planet IMO.
Agree 100% a lot of this "we're building a niche game lol" stuff should read "we're building a game for useless WFH tech support and SSI/Disability stoners to veg out in all day"
