I don't understand, are you trying to lecture me on if THJ was hard? I played on it, and live, and on emu easy servers. It wasn't hard. Chill. The challenges in all of these games are what you make them. If you are afk in a 40 man Luclin raid or afk pet cucking a Luclin boss on THJ, it's the...

And to be clear, THJ is vastly superior to the 3 box server for many reasons. But they were very similar. If you didn't play it's hard to know - which is the same as THJ. I don't like boxing either. I'd prefer not to. But you could choose 3 things (each of which were absurdly strong) that...

I mean I was able to take a home grown build, max it, make first on the server to 65 and kill Quarm within a 2-3 week window. I didn't know anything about PoP mechanics. In any iteration of actual EQ that's basically impossible. Sure, you can't be under geared, under AA'd or have a build that...

I mean THJ was definitely pretty easy mode. It was also fun and engaging in a way that other EZ servers were not. Torrid said he didn't get the appeal, which makes sense as he didn't play it and doesn't seem to really get how it's differentiated from other EZ servers. I do think there was one...

They were going until DoN I believe? There was a lot of space ahead.

The interplay between the multiple class AA's and the spell power/etc concepts they added made for a lot of fun builds. Things could be surprisingly powerful (or total shit). While there were certainly some meta builds, people were discovering new powerful setups all the time. Sometimes a new...

So is this game something we can play right now, or is it just random weekend alpha tests like EverCraft?

They may both have been, I don't remember. He has Kalaran the rogue who was I think the first true 50 behind some druid who was cheating. And then Kartak Dorfbruiser who was an ogre warrior in full planar and everything. I want to say was banned using kilns to transfer no drop planar stuff...

Randomly I seem to recall when Furor's ogre warrior was banned in classic, he rolled the namesake human with the xp bonus, Nagafen teeth and FoH hardcore power leveling him up to 50. IIRC it was a little over 7 days played. It's hard to really assess apples to apples though. Like Lower guk when...

There it is. Shutting down in one hour. RIP.

I love this site. I don't get how this thread got onto not ripping youtube from some weird ass site makes you a tard, but I love it.

I don't know that I agree on the pacing part. It was maybe a bit janky, but I liked the flow. I would stop at high 20s/low 30s and grind a few hundred aa. That definitely felt like it mimics the live game a bit as you're in Mistmoore, Guk, Sol b, or wherever, just slamming mobs and getting...

I liked it. But I also had a class combo that could giga grind. I liked as a poor scappy up and comer there I could buy stuff that was super cheap and make it 5x better. Even as a lowbie in guk I could get a few things for a few plat that would take me into a totally different tier once leveled...

I'll miss this server. Haven't played in months but I can't remember the last time I had that much fun in EQ. Good community, very active, great economy. If it wasn't on its last legs I think I'd come back and play for a few more months. It's also too bad. I don't think I'd pay to play what...
