    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    ME1 was the best game, it actually felt like an RPG. The rest became more shooter. Which ME was it that had like 5 dif weapons for the entire game? I remember ME1 you had hundreds of items and mods, loved every second of it even the Mako sequences.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    It’s bittersweet to reflect on how a lot of the original guys like Hutch, Vhalen, Aradune, and others were basically young guys playing D&D who brought their campaign to life for us. Lucan, Mayong, The Irontoe Brigade, all straight from their D&D adventures and shared with all of us. Hutch made...

    It’s EQ so as long as you aren’t so drug addled that you are drooling into your keyboard it’s pretty simple to do all the required pulls. That said, the skill ceiling is high and you can do some hilarious and amazing things if you become talented with it but those are not typically necessary...

    I don't think there are, a lot of out of era trash drops have been removed over the last two TLP's without much discussion. There might be some super secret spots I am not aware of though.

    With Cleric/Ench you can do some hilarious things that you probably never thought were possible in era just as a duo. Like others have said though the window for that style of play is short. Monk/Sham used to be the classic duo but the further you go the more the Monk will fall short with...

    Just remember if you decide to use the Monk to pull you'll have to turn off bard songs or else you'll chain aggro to the Bard once you FD. If you do go w/ that duo I def recommend pulling strictly via Bard.

    In classic it's probably a Troll SK worshiping Cazic Thule. All good race/classes hate you, and even the evil ones prefer you worship Innoruuk or RZ.

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Na he means how there is too much info a player wouldn't normally have like even in the top chat Innoruuk is "Innoruuk000" and player names in the /who are all links, spell names appear after "so and so is casting".

    My guess is the SS was posted by one of the GM's, so you're just seeing GM hax.

    I'd say 99% of the time people don't hold grudges for competition or guild drama after a few months. Some of the Truci guys I played with were really awesome like Ethiria and Rhaegar. Even playing TLP's since 2011 there are maybe 5-6 people from that whole time that I would oppose playing with.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    There's been a precedent since the very beginning w/ Sleeper/Combine that you often need two progression servers to balance the population / server load. I think Ragefire tried to launch solo and had a massive queue to log in and (before pickzones) you'd have like 100 people in Lguk fighting...

    Manglers first 50s were some nobody mage guys I believe, and it was slower than average for the exp rate. Looks like it was somewhere between 48 and 60 hours after launch to get 50. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/ding-50-mangler.256305/

    Sleeper, Combine, Fippy, Vulak, Ragefire, Lockjaw, Agnarr, Coirnav, Mangler, Selo. These two will be 11 and 12 assuming we don't count Quarm and Mayong which were more event servers than TLP. FWIW, I think they will backpedal on the PoP lock for at least one of these servers. The precedent is...

    TL;DR Aradune = 1 box, 3 month unlocks. Rizlona = Any # of boxes, 3 month unlocks. Supposedly real GM's will police and enforce rules? I'll believe it when I see it.

    Meanwhile P99 is attracting 2500 during peak times. I wonder how a fresh TLP that launched two weeks ago would have been reflected in P99 / Emu numbers.

    I don't really understand the attack spam criticism here when you could walk through FF7 trivially by pressing one button in every combat scenario.

    They talked about the upcoming Darkpaw move like 14 months ago but only actually did it like 2 months ago. Holly left within the first month after that. Just spitballing because I am too lazy to look up all the dates but this should all be pretty close.

    DBG no longer runs EQ, the EQ team was split off to a subsidiary studio I believe called Darkpaw Games or DPG. Like two weeks after that happened Holly left DBG/DPG to work for Blizzardon WoW. Now Jchan, one of the former tech folks is filling the Holly role.

    Mass boxing is a can of worms for sure. Sometimes you pick up guys who box huge numbers, I'm talking guys with 80-120 boxes. You get these guys in your guild and they can have a weird impact because they pollute the power dynamics. Ideally every member has one vote and weighs in more or less...

    That’s actually the best part of P99, if you /petition an issue a GM actually shows up and deals with it. After playing on TLPs for 10 years it was crazy to see people enforcing rules.
