Sounds like every other mmo out there. Glad you left and stopped shitting up the only one left that isn't a loot pinata.

Says the toxic nerd who's entire life centers on keeping p99 a loot pinata for his tiny coterie of unemployed nerds.

I'm gonna have to say that the server where you don't have to crawl NTOV and beat the Ring of Vulak is the loot pinata for most players. Log in, whack dragon for 5 minutes, loot. It's actually very easy to be a warm body in A/A if you have a relatively flexible schedule.

That's me for sure! Hi Raev

That actually sounds like fun. Spend 6 to 10 hours crawling NToV classic style, and at the end of said crawl declare yourself the winner of Classic EQ. I'd prolly jizz my pants and move on to something more productive with my life, alas it shant be so.

A lot of rose coloured glasses for classic crawls. It should be a thing. But let’s not pretend it was not punishing on everyone. Voice coms would make a modern NToV crawl significantly better however.

All raids should be conducted in a single chat window, the way EQ was originally designed.

Absolutely. Nevermind how EQ was played. What we need, what we all desire in our heart of hearts, is a true and pure game with multi-boxing, using voice-chat, exploiting pathing, exploiting feign death to split pulls, and even the merest hint of deliberate griefplay all grounds for permaban on first offense. It would be glorious!

They are actually pretty fun on TAKP. With ~30 boxes it takes about 10 hours total, of which 1 hour is killing Lady Nevederia and her fucking nearly unresistable spinstun. With practice I guess ~5 hours or even less for P99 guilds, which are larger and don't have the boxing overhead. Although, a lot of the best loots on TAKP are items that were upgraded in Luclin with focus effects, like the Boots of the Dead Dream or Hand of the Master.

Oh and hi Nexii! I was totally a warm body in Awakened, so I know the drill [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's almost as if this is an emulation of an 18 year old game that people start playing for nostalgia.

No clue how people ended up playing it religiously and think you absolutely need to clear ToV every 7 days for the rest of your life.

Crawling around NToV felt a lot more fun and nostalgic than staring at a wall waiting for monks to exploit FD to conveyor belt bosses to the zone line. I wouldn't want to do either every single week, but I think that's the point. Tunare is a serious time commitment and no one does her every week, despite her having some BiS gear. ToV would be better off that way too, because when one guild is tired of crawling ToV for a week or two, other guilds could get a turn.

Ah who am I kidding, AM would still be in ToV for the full clear every single week, even if it took them 16 hours of nonstop raiding.

AM would probably do Doze, Eashan, and all of NTOV. The rest I wouldn't see AM doing that often. It'd be not that much reward compared to doing say Tunare in the same amount of time
