Default Languages

My memory of this is very hazy, but I seem to recall that languages was a real thing. PCs really did speak in other languages that you had to learn, and we would hold "language parties" at zone lines, constantly zoning after 5 skill points learned, or something like that.

Am I remembering correctly? And if so, will it be a thing again?

This was only on the RP server, Firiona Vie.

Makes sense. The only server I ever played on.

Languages exist but they aren't at all mandatory or necessary, the only place I know of where they ever were was FV. Everyone just communicates in common. The language system is just for fun and flavor.

Aw man I would LOVE if they made language active on Green.
Giving people a reason to learn languages rather than just for fun.

Actually, not sure that FV was my first and only server. My memory of EQ is very hazy, and playing on Blue has helped recall some things. I do remember that, when EQ first came out, we had a very substandard computer and MODEM!, and EQ didn't run very well. But I do remember creating my first character, in Surefall, and everything was very dark, and very confusing. I gave up playing for a few months, then tried again when I got a new system. That is when I remember languages being a thing.

This! I'm not sure what the rest of y'all are talking about, because languages are totally a real thing on P99 too.

The difference with Firiona Vie was that they removed the Common Tongue. Since we have that tongue, there's very little reason to learn languages here: as Fammaden said, it's just for fun. For instance, if you learn Gnoll, you can read the Tesch Val Scrolls that drop from Splitpaw.

And also, I've done "language parties" here. I would do them while waiting for Shady Goblin or similar mobs to spawn, because you have a bunch of bored people sitting around [You must be logged in to view images.
