If you got it figured out can I get the tweet length tutorial because this shit is not intuitive.

Just got to work and sneaked on my laptop to check the status... locked. Did it ever come up in the first place? Looks like a noon PDT ETA at this point however.

Never came up for more than a few minutes.

Is that the new 'ultra realism' aspect? Talk about bringing back the original experience

I hope they bring a second server with relaunch. Even with the brokenness it was still hitting server capacity as late as midnight EST.

4k players (even with the short uptimes!) was quoted by Absor last night. Looks like its quite possibly exceeding TLP 2.0 numbers (about 5.4k total between both servers IIRC) - since there's quite a few people that quoted stuff about waiting a week or so to join after the initial rush.

Lockjaw better be ready.

In group mode:
Doodad to the left - Force roll/Give to player/etc toggle (I don't suggest using it 99% of the time seems only there for raids if you ask me)
Dice (only shows for Loot person) - Random this item always or not (I'd suggest always turning this on for each new drop)
N - Need (Rolls with highest priority in the group)
G - Greed (Rolls against other Greed rolls, automatically passes to Need)
NO - Never (Don't loot this item, this time)
AN - Always Need (Automatically select Need for this item forever*)
AG - Always Greed (Automatically select Greed for this item forever*)
NV - Always Never (Automatically select Never for this item forever*)
*forever being until/unless you modify it in Loot Settings or when you see a future drop. It's just a default that you're setting and if you're not ignoring things you can "catch" to adjust later.

Solo:
Loot - Loot the item
Leave - Leave the item
AN - Always Need (loot the item in solo)
AG - Alway Greed (loot the item in solo)
Never - Always Never (never loots it in either mode)

At least thats off my head - it's possible I glitched on some of the Never abbreviations in group mode.

Imagine if they had put he beta on the live server for a week and then wiped it a day before release. They could've hashed all this out.

Instead we had beta on a whole different client. Where they had 200+ people farming beta stones in newbie zones so they could get a free 8 slot bag as a reward.

It's amazing how much people complain about how bad EQ is, but then you see how many people come back to play.

That has been the story of EQ from day one.

they won't be up until at least noon

And I'd expect it to go back down soon after it comes back up. Either from them not fixing the level 50 thing or overcrowding or some new bug.

So if they say noon "Daybreak Time" that actually means like 11:30, right?

Going to try somewhere between 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST. I believe it was said the 3:00 was an "optimistic" launch time.
