I see the future:


People will praise it, then eventually realize how water downed the world has become where danger and loss are just mere words and not threats.

P99 has this same sickness. Guides should NEVER summon decayrd corpses to EC. Bring back real death

At the very least, there ought to be a quest associated with the reward of having one's decayed corpse returned to the world.

Lol the goblin faces are great.

forgot RnF doesn't have edit

you brought up VP key, yeah my dude that was a oversight by the devs and was quickly patched out,

"The Key of Veeshan in EverQuest became soulbound, or more accurately, was changed to remain with the character upon death rather than dropping with the corpse, in a patch around July 19th, 2000. "

as with everything else that caused friction for the playerbase in any way because that's what everquest was designed to be

ST key was not soul bound until March 2002. Check bug reports

Give an inch and they will take a mile. Teachers let you hand in homework late with no penalty and take open book tests. We can't keep pandering to this generation of softies. It's time for 99 to '01 because that is what we are here for

sydg a time machine and just a custom box for casuals instead.

you*

my evidence for this is actual reality, you can login and see for yourself, or at any point in the project's 16 year history. i literally remember rog casting KEI on me and my group in DL on kunark lunch on blue, this thing has always been whatever the fuck they actually want it to be at any given time and has at no point been what you claim.

Literal stated mission of server is to recreate EQ as it was 99 to 01. You taking some GM event launch event buff as proof of something is just lame sauce.

And don't berg about rooted dragons, raid meta forced their hand there, although I would prefer they undo and expressly state what kill strats are "go or no go". I am against lifetap nerfs as well, that had many other fixes available at the time that didn't gimp class mechanics.

Very few "non-classic" changes I am in favor of, recharge nerf I am. To call this a "server wife raid meta" is just ridiculous and a clear case of time-lock knowledge exploits.

I mean also, stop pretending like CR is hard when everyone has epic cleric bots set to log in to every zone. Who even uses necros to summon corpses on p99? GM corpse summoning is borderline exploit, as is item reimbursement.

You get a rare item to drop but lore? Corpse it and let it decay, ask for gm ec summon later. Or just destroy it and wait in petition queue for a GM to give you a new one (after you already sold the previous one of course)

If nothing else, it could be a meaningful feature of new green. No corpse summons, at least not until server merge.

The fact that the corpses are dumped at the Freeport/EC zoneline adds to convenience on top of removing the original worry of loss. Corpse poofing leans towards hardcore mode. Your character isn't mortal, but that underlying risk informs every decision.

While the game looks fun, a few things are pretty much no-go's for me. First, the subscription. Other than WOW I do not know of any games charging a monthly sub. Second, the CR's, fear of losing all your stuff etc is only for certain people. Only people who play here are really going to be into something like this, which limits the player base.

I am not sure how bad the grind will be, but if it is worse than P1999, it's gonna be rough since nobody is twinked to the gills or has 4 alts they can buff with.

All things considered, I can see this game coming out of the gate strong, then petering out like Red did because people lost interest. I remember when Red was 2k strong and bled players out weekly till it was under 400 and now rarely breaks 50.

Why ply an unpolished EQ clone for $15 a month when you can play EQ for free?
