They offered me 1st dibs on loot I couldn't even use and they actually had naked spots that could have used it, I passed on it twice so their cleric and tank could have a nice chain shirt.

Anyway, people say like, selos, is dead, but I believe selos is quite alive, just good luck convincing people to raid earlier content.

In some way TLP's really hurt the game because people don't focus on making communities to explore OoW for example and instead rely on the TLP 'catching up' and then doing it then.

There shouldn't be TLPs, people should have to complete the raid achievements for each expansion @ level b4 they can move into the later levels and expansions, but this would hurt the $$$ pixel $$$ flow real bad, it wouldn't have in the beginning, I believe the community could have learned to appreciate this and it would have been helpful before they started trying to compete with wow power scaling between expansions.

There use to be more incentive to do earlier content and get ready for later content. Not so much now.

Maybe Darkpaw can be convinced to evaluate this idea for a boxing allowed server with selos exp, all expansions, AoCs enabled. In the near term future after Aradune and Rizlona have shrunk to their core communities. --- all content available at launch --- but achievment gated per character, so guilds have incentive to catch people up and do earlier raids via the DZ system.

In everquest the gear system went like this

Classic had almost nothing , kunark had good droppable weapons but no real raid gear, only once velious hit was there a "Set" For your class that wasnt garbage

None of which were required to do anything as once luclin hit you could get tons of gear much easier, sure the bosses got big hp boosts but you still eventually won

Once pop hit ornate destroyed all previous raiding because it was "Good enough" to not bother with any and all previous content

However, you could not raid gates without at least ELE planes gear from pop preferably time gear

And once Omens came out you werent raiding anything with omens ornate so you had to raid pop. Later, DODH came out and still you werent doing anything without time / gates gear so even tho it was 4 expansions old, you still HAD to do previous content


This was destroyed once SOF Came out with elaborate gear and eq died at that point

Always why i say the best "Era" of everquest was pop to dodh
