Chewbacca is a wookie. Wookies are from Kashik. But Chewbacca is from Endor! It doesn't make sense! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed forum, that is why you must change back the xp penalties.

This reply is better than Jboots.

One of the great things about classic EQ was the need to group with other people, sharing the hybrid exp penalty amongst the group puts people off forming your classic Tank/DPS/HEALS/CC group to rather form OP pet groups at the expense of several key classes.

This.

Chug some donkey dick. Now that is a reply.

Seriously though, you expected us to not fix these back the way they were?

Not sure about $th edition AD&D, but, 3rd fo sho still had varied XP tables. And EQ was a game built off a PNP RPG.

If more people creating MMO's thought like my old DM's and to some degree myself, you'd end up with much better game play & mechanics.

I'm drunk and can't remember the name of the module but... it had the falling ceiling that did 15d10 damage and the sphere of disintegration in that statue and the notes said "Encourage your players to put their fingers inside the statue. After the first person disappears hint to them it might be a portal of some kind." Seriously...people are soft these days. Nothing more fun for a DM than killing an entire party (including all followers!) in the first 3 rooms.

Yes, based on the fact that this time around, everyone knows about them and Sony fixed it when that info came out in order not to alienate the hybrids.

Just like I'm sure you fixed a bunch of exploits proactively to ensure the health of the server because they were more widely-known this time around, and you didn't just wait until they were fixed in the original timeline.

Tomb of Horrors. Next to Temple of Elemental Evil, it's one of Gygax's most brutal fucking adventures ever.

Thank you! I've been wracking my brain since!

Ceiling room took out every follow (all 300 of the warrior and rangers lol). 1 survived, they used him to test the Sphere of Annhilation lol.

The adventure simply requires you to go into every situation thinking that there's a trap.

I got to play it again in D&D 3.5 (as I had forgotten about pretty much everything about it except for the sphere) and chose a skill heavy rogue with spiderclimb slippers and a bunch of utility magic items for all sorts of situations.

"Dude, why did you spend like 1500gp on scrolls of Summon Monster I"
"Watch carefully as this cow runs down the hall." -Mooooo- *THUD**BOOM*
"I hate you so much right now."
