Planes of Power dropping on Phinny in 3 weeks

[Xzavie]

Phinny is A+. No neckbeards hogging all content. Jump in voice chat with your bros and go kill content on your schedule. Very fun.

Don't forget to click that Daybreak button while you're playing, looks great on the UI doesnt it? :s

Some of us are ok killing the same orc 500 times instead of 800 times to get a level.

Lets discuss RMT. I just googled Platinum Project 1999....

Maybe I'm just too picky and wanted to see PoP again as it was when it was originally released. Someone said they made 80+ AAs in a session the other day.

Well everyone I knew must have sucked because AAs took WAY longer than that to grind out.

Its EQ Lite, I don't really see the nostalgia with so much that's different to the original release.

Nostalgia is overrated. The new game is BETTER than it was when I played back in the day, in my opinion. The server is very successful. If you like to play EQ, and you were willing to give it a chance for two weeks, I'd bet the house that you would like it.

When I was a kid I had to walk up hill both ways through 5 feet of snow, so you need to do that too, cause ggggrrrrrrrr

I agree with you partially on this. PoP would be/ will be fun, but yeah, getting 80 AAs in one neckbeard session is just dumb. No one can argue with that. I remember back in the day asking people how many AAs they had, and I also remember being amazed by people who had a few hundred. On Phinny, a few hundred seems like a slow week.

I can also poopsock kunark dragons for 5 years, 16 hour windows, on a toxic top-heavy server that allowed platinum account sales for years. Of course there's been no GM corruption on this server, right?

Exp potions are OK with me.

[Daldaen]

Getting 80 in one weekend is how AE methods work.

On the Al'Kabor server I got a wizard around 150 AAs in probably only 15 hours of play time. This wasn't using any exploits like pit warring or even Shakerpaging. Just good old PBAE nukes on large trains in PoFire.

It's even easier at level 60 in the Deep right now because stuns work. Though one big difference on Phinigel is the access to Destructive Fury AAs that changes the damage on critical nukes from 200% to 300% increase. It sort of balances out casters against melee after all the melee changes that have occurred over the years on live but it certainly makes AE groups on Phinny much easier.

[Xzavie]

So AoE for 80 AAs during double EXP is not OK, but paying to AFK EXP in Chardok on p99 is legit, got it!
