New Everquest Progression Server Announced

[Sage Truthbearer]

I'd be semi-interested in this. Anyone have a short version of what came with LDoN? I quit live during LoY, and even then my memory is hazy.

LDoN's big thing was just lots of new instanced dungeons for various levels, interspersed throughout the existing zones. Basically an attempt at overhauling the xp grind and small-group stuff rather than adding new raid content.

Some of the LDON raids actually have very good loot...the content isn't great, but the reward was actually pretty good.

Several differently themed dungeons (Takish, the lost elves of Ro; Guk; Mistmoore; Miraguls Lair and Ro Orcs) accessed by adventures.

Several different types of adventures, including item collection, npc rescue, npc assassination through to straight ploughing through mobs.

The charm slot: items that get better under certain conditions.

Augmentations: customisable boosts for items.

After every success in a dungeon you would unlock a new lore snippet and after a few you would upgrade your charm augmentation.

Loot (duh)

Vendors for each adventure theme: earn points to unlock and buy better equipment and spells.

You could take Adventures from level 15. Adventures could be grouped or raids.

LDoN added some incredible raid augs.

12 weeks to unlock expansion is way too fucking fast.

P99 has proven time and times again that slow unlock is the wtg for healthy pop

Have to remember that with instanced raiding 3months means a lot more content to play than a longer expansion.

I played through velious on phinny...it was hard to keep raiding content for months on end when you had it on farm status and could instance it every week.

How is the game balance on these TLP servers? I remember years ago they kept all the balance changes from the live game, which meant casters were hilariously overpowered as they were balanced to compete with melee in full twink gear.

Yea , 24 weeks would be nicer pace.

When the server is going to be locked at certain point I don't think it matters all that much. But for a server that is eventually going to catch up to live, slower is definitely better.
