Casual TLP

[starkind]

all i have done the last three days is log in and look at general chat and the environment a little bit in wow for like 30 minutes so ya thats what i would be doing here if i was playing eq more regularly -- maybe one day i still have a decked out cleric on blue and uber mage on red99 just dont have the time to seriously level either characters

i want to casually make starkindmmo one day

i'll probably do it when i'm 80

then die at 85 right after it's launched and is a great success

Hi everyone. I know a lot of you would be interested in a slow casual official TLP server so I posted a thread on the Daybreak forums in regards to this. If it interests you please post a reply to the thread! https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/...server.282814/
Maybe if we have a big enough push for it we can get a slow TLP to play on as well as P99. I was thinking something like 6 months or a full year between unlocks. That way we have our classic and modern flavors at the SAME TIME!

OP maybe you should take a look at the Firiona Vie Project which is recreating the Firiona Vie server. It's currently about 50% through releasing Kunark and allows for a casual raid scene with raid zone instancing.

The tlp raid encounters are PAINfully boring. No excitement at all. The tlps are just downright boring overall

What server and guild so others can vet your experience?

Not sure how actually seeing the content and obtaining loot without a legal (lol) process to determine which neckbeard tickled a dragon's asshole first is any less painful.

Nobody here actually likes cOMpETitIOn, so that's out.

TLPs are boring and the population dies within a year. Is there a single TLP that has made it multiple years with a healthy population?

When you just log in to raid bull shit instanced content you realize how boring EQ is without the "haves" and "have nots". EQ is a game about exclusion and self imagined superiority, with out those elements it is shit. Its also the reason P99 attracts stay-at-home sons.

It's like in the wrestling business - if everyone is 7ft tall there are no giants

I raided on Agnarr and Mischief. Not sure people need to vet anything, just watch a YouTube of a nagafen or trakanon raid. The first time you do it I guess it’s sort of exciting but after that the mark of the mighty thing just makes it go so dang slow and there is really no sense of danger or a danger that the raid may wipe. On p99 even with highly geared toons raids can still wipe out pretty easy. I understand the whole competition thing sucks but my point is more about there is no sense of danger on the raids you just run along with the heard and poke a dragon for like 30 min with no danger of a wipe.

Are they not the same thing on P99, just without all the poopsocking, lawyering and griefing? Sounds like heaven to me.

I'm sure it's fun if you're a have. Not so much so if you're a have-not.

I'll take that over never getting a chance to poke that dragon, with the dragon-pokers laughing and rubbing their win in my face like they do here on P99.

Mischief is massively popular and they're in Gates. Aradune is coming up on year two, Prophecy of Ro next month. We still have like 12-15 guilds clearing Demiplane of Blood every week. Multiple plat raids hosted by various guilds every week as well. Mangler is literally in House of Thule with 10 guilds give or take clearing that content.

Hate to break it to you, but being locked to Velious isn't appealing anymore. 10 years ago? For sure. But not anymore.

You get it. Made the switch and haven't looked back. Later expansions are actually dope on TLP.

It's because they go too fast. It's usually three months per expansion, and we all know that everybody quits at the end of PoP, so the server has an expiration date of just over a year. Three months is really only just enough to get to the point where you feel like you're "ToV geared" or whatever, and then the next expansion launches and it's all null and void again. I wish they had the courage to make a TLP that gave each expansion six months or even a year, and then they could make it a PvP server so there was something for everyone to care about. With instanced raids, it's honestly safe to make a PvP server because you know that the thing people truly care about won't be messed with. It'll just give players something to do when not raiding. Alas, they don't seem inclined to try it.
