100% agree. Encounter lock was one of the worst things they did in EQ2 imo. Leave it to DBG to be like "Let's bring it back for a TLP!"

That was a tempting option. Only fun was to be in a server dominant guild. I don't mean for "sadism" reasons (but of course that was also true) but, it did require a good and tight roster, usually very few "extras," good cross-server recruiting, and (for me) open competitive no-limit bidding in guildchat.


We just rotted stuff. Sold LR stuff. And, some guilds I was in, one in particular, weekly splits were massive.


That's my only counter-point. For 3-5 years if you were in a competitive guild it was pretty fun. But that's mandatory batphone. Must maintain 80% attendance rate. If you fall bellow that your points get frozen. To avoid DKP imbalance, one a month dkp adjustment for all current 80% players. Don't save too long!


I think it worked. It just sucked to not be the freaky people.


I never even needed a phone call. I could ... sense .... the spawns.

So. Two questions. On this upcoming TLP:

A: Considering it might be messed up, what single class would you pick if your aim was to do all three of these following goals, classic through cats:

1. Witness closely and share mightily in whatever tale of woe and/or madness that classic-cats might or might not issue upon this server.
2. Be able to instigate, and in general greatly worsen whatever this tale of woe and/or madness might (or might not) regularly be about.
3. Largely evade being suspected or found responsible.

B: And, what single class would you pick if your aim was to do all three of these following goals, classic-cats:

1. Same as above
2. Be able to halt, or in general greatly mitigate whatever this tale of woe might or might not regularly be about.
3. No one ever finds you responsible for anything. Half the guild thinks you're someone's alt.

People praise these TLPs but you can buy a pay to win potion to help you level faster. Lol uhhhhh

Druids are evac classes correct?


Any class that can evac immediately becomes interesting.


Being mobile is likely going to be a big plus. Again, I'm operating under the assumption the server is going to be a rollicking good mistake. Creating havoc then evacing your group, sounds like a ... wait I said I was going to be good.

EQ 2 still exists?

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

They even do TLP's. So if you ever get a hankering to raid Vek's laboratory or whatever for the 1,000 time, you are in luck. I don't know if the tlp's do avatars. Which was only fun part of game. Had to be snappy.

But, tomorrow is a new eq1 tlp. and the new mechanics. Shall be a place of many ills. They are going to get the nostalgia farmers and the krono farmers extensively alpha testing the elimination of a whole layer of classic mechanics. Gonna then transfer it to all current eq1 live servers.

Addicts will inject dogshit if you tell them Alfie ate a baggie. So you know. What else is new?

EQ is like the crack house you grew up across the street from. The tenants are always shady, but they are basically maintenance dealers and as near as I can tell none of their kids enjoys torturing animals.



The krono system is frontloaded for the first clutch of expansions. You got yourself a yearly racket. Supplier, dealer, and addict. That is why every new server is like being in a motel during the 90's.

I don't want to get caught up in that topic, man. I'm trying to forget.
