I miss DA days

[Hasbinbad]

hi

[roks1]

I miss when people would serenade us with stories of a certain Eruditian gentleman with a fine pair of shoes on his feet. Nothing like global comedy-erotica to pass the time kiting dwarves.

[roks1]

Back wheeeen...

Global ooc

Boats didn't work -- teleport npcs stood in for fast travel

Full exp for aggro kiting while pet worked~

Whirl till you Hurl lasted forever -- enchanters still have dog collars and leashes to this day with how good charm seems to work compared to live but live classic enchanters weren't all brilliant charm experts with debuffed pets and shit so who knows if the skill issue made things look worse than they were.

Keystone and his goons abusing tumpy tonics for retarded amounts of exp

Guessing you're in Riot which means you killed a dragon uncontested?

[Solist]

Naerron has never done contested content.

Someone get my cleric unbanned.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

The early work on this project was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Kunark came out the project really came into its own.

When eq came out it took about 6 months to a year before everyone became gear obsessed.

For the first 30 levels or so gear is not that important. The "way to play eq" was not settled yet. It was common in that first year to run into good players with missing gear slots.

The majority of players felt this way. The gameworld was the focus: have you been to X? etc.

That experience will never happen again with any D&D adjacent online game ever again in the history of this planet.

[Slayde]

When I was playing the beta that my friend had, we used to study Everlore.com, they had it all. We were so hyped. I have never been so hyped for a video game before or after.

That can still happen again if a game is designed for it. Max power, level appropriate gear being available in abundance, and twinking not providing an extra advantage = the game is no longer warped around gear. Everyone will be able to get what they need by simply playing the game normally: adventuring around and using the money/materials they loot to buy or craft a fully functional set of gear.

OFC, lots of people care a crazy amount about the skins of equipment. Plenty of people will still spend tons of time or money to get the exact look they want or the "most prestigious" look. But functionally it doesn't change anything if all gear per level tier has the same max possible stats. People also care a lot about ultimately meaningless titles. So put a "treasure hunter" title into your game and, viola, the people who really want to go around and spend a bunch of time obtaining items from all over can do that with their time. For the people who don't care, they get to spend their time doing dynamic raid content or PvP.

Yo sloan

Is it good ?

Gonna try it

[Tanthallas]

What's up buddy. I took a long break from MMOs but got back at it on the last TLP raid leading for Faceless.

Monsters and Memories is very good. Between MnM and Ashes of Creation, i wont have time for anything else the next few years.

[Jarnauga]

TMO break fear yet ?

[arsenalpow]

No time for an MMO when you’re adulting.

Depends where you are on that curve, and how you planned it. I frontloaded all my major adulting and had largely finished shortly after live came out. Then I just gooned it all day until they put my office in the boiler room and that was my sign, time for the next chapter.

A cellie once told me, in the late 2010's, "You never know where another soul is on the road of life." That's so true.

Blessed!

[Mending]

I've been around since the Young Doctor memes and Tralina drama. Does that count?
