Reclaims got nerfed a couple years ago. I forget what the exact case was but people could lock down camps of particular lore items, delete each that dropped and reclaim them later. I'm not sure what the exact fix was but I know there's a fix.

Finding it hard to find the motivation to play this anymore, economy is so fucked. When I cashed out on Aradune around GoD krono was only around 30k.

If you are just playing for Krono, seems you either need to get into the PL business or raid to sell.

Prices just too high to really farm little items or straight plat from mobs on your own.

Could go try to kill highland lions in karana for the HQ skin maybe, but I hear that is horrendous atm.

Did you find this out for yourself?

Never confirmed it myself, but it's the word on the street that reclaimed items don't have charges to prevent exploitation. Imagine what a total shitshow this server would turn into if you really could fire unlimited hoops.

Personally I'd like to see the hoops removed from the game entirely, or replaced with a one-charge version of the same item (i.e. still really useful for low-mid level people as a lay on hands type emergency click, but no longer relevant to the raid game).

Messing around with lore tags etc wasn't the play, and broke more than it fixed.

HQ skins are a pretty big money farm if you've got the tools to consistently bag the lions, and demand is only going to increase as people making Rangers find out what a Fleeting Quiver is. People without said tools are at a huge disadvantage, but if you've got the means, it's a steady profit.

Given how in-demand Rangers are right now for raid guilds, skins might be the last actually useful "plat farm" situation on this server, with the way inflation is basically nullifying any plat farms as viable or worthwhile in any way.

Curious to see what effect GoD has on the krono/plat relationship on Teek, given that plat actually becomes in-demand again in that timeframe. Plat has been so devalued that even on Teek I'm not sure how much krono will actually come down once GoD is in the picture.

The best part is it's just the GMs printing infinite plat to hand out

Literally shitting in their own pool, unclear if it's incompetence or malice tho

As I've instructed over and over, Darkpaw Games is duping plat for themselves AND for krono reimbursements. It doesn't have to be just one or the other. It doesn't matter what JChan LOOKS like irl, or how quirky she is. That's a child's argument. The reality is they can dupe plat with the press of a button. You are naive as children if you think nobody at that company has figured out they can make 6 figures a year duping plat in this game for themselves by now.

in fact the only reason krono aren't the same price they were on Oakwynd yet is because the baz isn't out yet. once you see baz hit, you'll see the true extent of hte plat dupe. Krono will be the same as they were on Oakwynd. And I predict this will be the condition of every TLP server under Darkpaw for the future too. I'm making these predictions now so that I can refer people back to them at a later time and be like see I told ya so~

The server is such a disaster. The company is 100% up to something sketchy. They delete any new post on the forums even relating to missing krono.

Honestly, no one should have ever accepted plat as a reimbursement for disappearing krono. The community has been far too passive in their response to this. There is a reason krono is disappearing. There is a reason they are creating platinum to replace it. No one is asking why. With any other company this would be a gigantic scandal. The amount of plat that they have injected into the economy this way has far surpassed the amount of plat from any dupes.

Its a niche population. There are few content creators, but they get a few hundred views at most on a video. Nothing that will make them answer questions or create some kind of PR nightmare they don't want. Hate to say it, but there is no "Star" power that will call them to task, thus no scandals.

And the players will never quit in mass, because its the only place they can get that type of game unfortunately and nostalgia is a powerful thing. If a server messes up completely like say oakwynd with the depot dupe, players will quit and just get on the next one in the next year. But they already bought bag bundles, expansions , potions, etc.

Also seems like a mecca for anyone who makes kr to sell on ECtunnel, with PLs or just outright raiding to sell. I've seen at least 2 groups in person that are boxing probably 25-30 characters and do raids on their own. Who knows how many are hiding in DZs only. No clue if they sell loot outright either on that website, but I would assume so. That's not counting all the PL groups that are probably running the same amount or more. And its almost all a mix of automation + broadcasting. The one guy I saw in ntov, has all his characters perform the same action at the same exact time(sitting, clickies, disc etc) yet somehow escapes detection.

Leveling some weapon skills in KC and of course I randomly kill a named, and it drops a T-Staff, which I've never actually seen. Could've used this a couple months back...

never seen so many ravenous dogs laugh at the guy

Time for some red meat for people who like drama-bait, need to address some disinfo.

Kind of funny to see RI members spreading propaganda ingame that Faceless "started" the class zerg meta, when RI was the one that turned their raids into Wizard zergs first and we just responded by doing it better and shutting them out.

I mean, they bragged about doing this very thing by posting this shot in one of their videos before we even started doing it. That video was in August:

1727312691534.png


Bragging about something until it backfires, then crying seems to be their MO. I'm sure they're planning to do another class zerg for Luclin with Rangers and think that it'll work. They probably have a whole plan drawn up of showing up to OW AHRs with 72 Rangers to KS them (while we do all the tanking, healing, etc, you know, the actual execution), followed by posting stupid "blot out the sun" memes from 300. That won't work either.

Then you've got them falsely claiming we're undergeared when we've taken in significantly more loot-per-person and RI has people like Himlop waddling around talking smack to people while having classic planar gear in a bunch of slots.

Which isn't even getting into all the weird griefing shit RI does instead of just competing. They'll spend an hour doing weird-ass shit like dropping a Vindi on us during AOW prep and Natimbi-ing out, then come back and train some more mobs, then lose the actual AOW race. Is the goal to annoy us? I'm not sure if Vindi even accomplishes that much, it's more like a "right, anyway" moment.

Teek has been a real embarrassment for RI to say the least, mostly on a behavioral level but also on a "getting repeatedly dumpstered" level. If Faceless is a bad player zerg like you claim, then you've been going about 1 for 10 against a bad player zerg and I'm not sure what that says about you.

In Memory of Lynuga​


In twilight’s glow, where shadows play,
Lynuga waits, a troll at bay.
Her eyes like emeralds, deep and bright,
Guard secrets whispered in the night.

With ruby offered, glinting true,
She smiles and crafts a gift for you—
Ivandyr's Hoop, with magic spun,
A circle of fate where two are one.

In tangled woods, where dreams entwine,
Love blooms in silence, sweet and divine.
For in her heart, a treasure lies,
A bond unbroken, beneath the skies.
