Casual TLP

[PlsNoBan]

Contrary to popular meme beliefs around here. You really don't need to spend anything to enjoy live/TLP's. All you really need is a sub. If you don't have any krono on your account you'll need to pay for the first month. After that it's pretty easy to earn enough pp/krono in game to keep your sub going for free indefinitely.

You can splurge for things like cosmetics and more controversial things like large weight reduction bags and xp pots but they certainly aren't required. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trolling.

TLP appeals to me because of the mass chaos of lowbies storming the newbie zones. I have never witnessed such an event ever in my life. I was late to EQ, WoW, and GW2. The fun of exploring a new world with fellow twinkless people has a competitive draw to it that explored games do not. But I realize that I do not have the time or physical endurance to fully enjoy TLP Servers. I would soon be left in the wake of power gamers, and then the server will eventually become what every server has become, top heavy, abandoned newbie zones, and lonely for a casual player like myself.

I will likely just stay on green even when Yelinak releases, because I don't even like the newer expansions, so why pour my time into something I will eventually dislike anyways? TLP has a certain appeal to some gamers, but realistically, it is not me.

A new server is coming from p99 team eventually. So you’ll get to do it.

It will be fun

To be fair it's basically the same on P99. The powergamers push ahead, form their guilds and basically take over the server. You've probably got the newbie zones a little more populated on P99 but that's partly because if you have aspirations to do anything higher than a derv camp, everyone just wants to tear your throat out here.

TLPs are appealing to me precisely because as a non-competitive player, I can join a smaller guild and not get stomped out by bigger guilds on this server. Meanwhile here, if FoW, Kingdom or Seal Team want a camp or raid you're trying to do...good luck stopping them.

If the knowledge that you'll eventually be going to the moon is a turnoff though that is understandable too I suppose. Personally I didn't hate Luclin but I know many did.

But yup the newbie rush on May 25th is gonna be fun, looking forward to that one.

I just hope it'll be different, with some new rules going forward to prevent basically one guild from taking over a server. Something everyone can enjoy. Call it the "Yellow" server if you have to, I wouldn't care.

Valheim is considered by many to be the best game of 2021, corpse runs are a major part of the game.

Corpse runs and forced a gameplay loop that incentivizes grouping is what makes EQ stand above modern MMOs. No one makes friends playing SWTOR.

[Gustoo]

Procedurally generated is always bad.

But corpse runs are good

TLP > P99 all day now.

Not even a comparison. Velious most overrated expansion ever and you're stuck in it? Take the goggles off people.

[Jibartik]

Kronos and plat are interchangable.

I played mischife because I wanted to try live, and do some raiding for a few weeks, and sold all my krono when velious was over and made a proffit counting the sub fee and literally played lie 1-2hrs a night at most. (im sure I played for 8hrs a night for at least half of those nights you know how it is)

[Jimjam]

I think I am pretty dedicated to EQ, but often fail to make more than 3 ~2 hour sessions per week, so i’m not sure about the claims that 5hrs/ week is super casual.

I enjoy the social aspect of MMOs so much that I try to avoid them it's so addictive for me, I mean the forums I know I appreciate for the same reasons, it's an extension of the late night group chat and I love it.
