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.

Just imagine the potential LDON points grind... all those cool armor sets you never bothered getting because you knew in 2 expansions you could just group easier stuff in a few afternoons ... the time comes for it now.


I look forward to playing around with the bounce proc augs again (self buff that makes enemy spells reflect back to their caster).

Yea , 24 weeks would be nicer pace.

I'm considering starting on this server. I have recently heard that Rangers really came into their own Luclin-PoP (I stopped playing EQ shortly after Luclin released), so that's pretty cool.

But Paladins have always been my favorite class. Can anyone tell me if they start to get some love Luclin-PoP, or are they still pretty much the red-headed stepchild even with those expansions?

Pallies got some pretty sweet AAs like slay undead. Along with new spells and the two-hander update (that we're supposed to get here with next patch I believe), they had much better damage overall (and especially versus undead) and were capable of main-healing groups in most situations. Some other AAs and discs also made pally/sk closer in mitigation to warriors for tanking, though I believe warriors still had an advantage.

Gotta admit I'm pretty hard for this. I do wish the time lock was a bit longer like 16 weeks but I can take 12. And it begins in summer so velious should hit around winter woop woop. Dahhhhhh fuck, I might have to do it.

I'm stoked for this

Its kind of funny that daybreak is treating this wonderful game like damn Ldon mission. I think they are missing the whole point of EQ altogether.
