The concept of a language mechanic is very cool, but not very well rendered in EQ, so you might wanna "type in troll" rather than actually speak troll.

I mean, my own Troll (warrior 43) is learning Elder Dragon right now so he can say dirty stuff to Lady Vox in her language while he kills her (his personnal goal) so I can't blame you for being a huge dork, but yeah, it's probably not doing what you think it's doing for other people.

I always thought it would have been really cool if there was no actual common tongue. The player base would probably have some meta rule that agreed on everyone learning a certain language ASAP that would be universally used as the “common tongue.”

I remember having language 'learning' sessions to have something to do while riding the boats. Group with whoever is on the boat with you and spam your racial language.

Firiona Vie had this. It was designed as the 'roleplaying preferred' server. It bad very few items flagged as no drop. As such it was just filled with players that just wanted to skip content by simply buying the best items.

me too. thought about it a bit. adding maybe an "Antonican" language for some of the humans/barbs. it would have been cool to see what lingua francas would have developped [You must be logged in to view images.
