The ideal solution to this is everyone ends up being happy like P99's deal with dbg (unless that's the reason we haven't seen a new server, then hopefully a new agreement is made for all EMUs after this).

We are all one! It's us, vs non eq people.
I hate it when prey animals don't realize they're prey animals. So gauche.

I never understood why THJ was so popular. Tried it when it launched, and while the triple-class gimmick was briefly entertaining, the novelty wore off within a week. Then it was just a laughably trivial server where you could solo raids and get BIS gear with ridiculous ease, and no social aspect because everything was designed around soloing.

For that server to have become so absurdly popular says a lot about the gaming mentality of large portions of the EQ community. The triple-class concept was undermined by the fact that THJ didn't have even the slightest pretense of balance, so while the idea was interesting on paper, the result was effectively the same as using cheat codes in a single-player game.

Anyone who feels like THJ is the ideal way to play EQ should admit that they're a shitty player who can't succeed in the real version of the game.

just thinking about the synergy between different 3-class combos was more fun than I’ve had in the last decade of playing other random emu server rule sets.

would have been amazing if it was balanced better, i'd be interested to see if that character class system shoehorned into [REDACTED] server instead of 6-12 boxing would be more enjoyable than THJ was

It's good to have more character customization, but making everything ezmode like THJ is boring. It does show how many people use games mainly just to feel better about themselves with the fake achievements those games give, but it also shows how much the MMORPG concept has died and is not trying to be brought back. When there are no real options for immersive adventure in an everchanging game world that requires people to go on unique quests and work together, then yeah something like THJ begins to look sort of appealing in the way it provides a twist on an otherwise static game.

You shouldn't even want to kill Seru though. Tsaph Katta is the bad guy. If you check his body type, he's goddamn undead. A vampire, just like the Combine Inquisition said.
