True, which was all derived from Tolkien. I feel a sufficient enough change with enough additional story helps to differentiate your setting from others. Norrath has a rich lore and good story even though it is based on common tropes, and above all I think it does not FEEL like it is just a copy. The only argument Im trying to make is that so far in Pantheon a lot is copy-pasted from EQ. Its still early in the game, and who knows how itll end up at release.

I asked this question in a thread and got an official response; basically green will not happen until the entire code base is at a state that the devs would call complete and accurate to representing the classic live experience. So really were years off, just like with Pantheon lol.

Server is only getting more popular, no patches in 2018.

Some posters in here could even see their first rl naked woman IF focus shifted abit from pantheon
Women like good diction. Not all women, but the kind that aren't just enjoyable without their clothes on. Nice burn though.

JRR Tolkien was cool and all that but he did not invent fantasy

Who has written and sold more fantasy than Tolkien? He may not have invented it, but you have to admit he refined and perfected it.

Terry Prachet? Certainly wrote more.

I don't disagree that he was father of fantasy. That said, wasn't CS Lewis a friend of Tolkein and they'd exchange ideas and were writing at similar times.

Perhaps fantasy is often more a case of convergent evolution more than derivation.

How many times can you throw Norse/Greek/Christian mythology in a bag, shake it up and come up with something new?
