He's theorizing the same thing with pickzone will work - I've got a strong feeling they track that though. Be very careful if you try it.

If you're saying you can pick zone, set your clock forward, and then pick again. Yes. It does work.
If you're talking about some how forcing a new instance to open, explain.

First thing that came to my mind is setting your clock forward 7 days to end the raid lockout and make another instance. Same method the pickzone method works but I would bet those times are stored server side.
At least they should be but this is daybreak we are talking about.

Then we had the splitting wurms, and super 1500 hitter wurms among the 2 min pop time. Worst part is that if you were fighting near the entrance pad, the spawn point of the split wurms was right there, like with the Bzzzzaat assholes as well in sky. Tough CR/Break in back in 2000. Some corpses were just lost on my server, kinda like Inny before the summon corpse spell was added.

The entire TLP experience honestly is like this, its very watered down to be minimal risk. The totality of the auto granted AA's, focus effects, loot going out at 10x the live rate, and itemization that's out of era makes the TLP servers much easier than live ever was or P99 for that matter.
Its a good place to come back if you want to see some of classic EQ coupled with a much easier overall experience.

There's some definite shitters. I'd imagine it seems even worse leveling up now vs at the start of the expansion or at the beginning of the server as most of the better players are established in guilds and so on. That's obviously not all inclusive, and I have no evidence to support it, but it's probably true anyways.

Wasn't that to be expected?
As for a new TLP, wouldn't hold your breath Tickle. I think we're a while out from that.

You're right, but it is still pretty jarring as I'm leveling up. I died on my sk at 25 in a group with 3 healers because they all ninja afk'd man...

Having been at the lowbie level now for almost a month - got my bard in the 30s then decided to try a shaman - almost everyone I group with is a) twinked to some extent, jesus, every caster and their mother has a pair of GEBs and b) just logging in after 10+ years. Daybreak has to be making a killing on krono, that and the increased rate of gear is making the newbie experience much, much easier. Also pretty much the only place to get a group for the first 30 levels is Unrest if you are not iksar.
And there is definitely something going on with instancing beyond pickzone, I was chilling in Kedge last night at the entry killing those dumb fish for the totemic BP drop, someone zoned in and I started chatting with him, he said he was 'instancing', and he disappeared a few moments later. No other picks of the zone available, nobody else came in - I would have noticed a raid force popping in I think, as I was sitting at the zone line. They all got in there somehow though and killed Phinny.

GEBs were mad cheap prior to kunark launch. Was three of constantly farming each pick of efreeti, boots got down to about 1800 plat each before kunark so i'd assume most people got them then. Now sachee perma cmaps it and asks for a krono per boot. Weird on kedge, since the AoC is outside of kedge on the island.

I haven't played EQ in any fashion since '03 before returning here, and I am certainly not up on all the neat tricks/workarounds and what not, but I also have a brain & EQ isn't exactly the hardest game. It's fucking amazing how many times I have tried to bring in a rep for Juggs and players will turn it away and not even try to run down, or similar situations. Like a whole bunch of 50 year old couples are playing, which is probably true.

I was in a disco group the other day, and when our Monk puller had to go, he tried to replace himself with a wizard. I was like fuck you no. Then he threw a fit because the wizard was standing there waiting to join the group. We got another Monk instead. Then the wizard proceeds to call me an asshat for not inviting him.

Yeah. This was apparent from the start. P99 general skill level blows this shit out the water.
