Not a popular take on here, but I'm pro pvp for raiding. Fuck calendars and waiting lists- take what you can take. Of course, like you, I would probably never be able to actually participate in a competitive guild because I lack playtime, but still...

On the other hand it may not be popular enough for there to be a ton of competition. IIRC they also have said their endgame will be focused on grouping and not raiding.

It depends on when it will release I feel. If it's before Riot's MMO, they'll get a decent look at by the MMO community at large. It's a very starved genre. New World is a shit MMO, and it got a ton of unworthy hype(by peeps here no less). A bunch of people tried that game out. If this game is released after the Riot's MMO, then yeah I doubt people give it too much of a look outside of the niche they are going for.
It's nice to hear they are focusing more towards grouping than raiding. I've felt raiding should take a major backseat, and grouping should be a hard focus for MMO's.

Despite Shawn kinda being the person responsible for instancing being introduced to EQ, I believe he has said many times on stream that MnM will not have instancing.

Just to clarify here: I said their team has enough people with experience in the realm of classic MMOs, and different solutions can be applied to different games and that their team understands what works best in the game they're making.
I never said MnM was pro-instancing, but they have enough experience to know when it's appropriate - and when open-world interactions can be healthy for a game like this, too.

ALovingRobot was the lead designer for LDoN, so he sees the value of instancing in certain situations for sure. He said he based the original concept off the solo instance dungeons in Anarchy Online. That being said, I don't believe instancing is in the current plans for MnM.

classic EQ and WoW (a little differently) hit the good race vs bad race thing great imo... hope they do something similar here
EQ had great interoperability between the good and bad races that balanced it out... WoW had good distinction boundaries

I mean for better or worse they are basically copying EQ. I’m surprised they haven’t announced a race of lizard men called “Iskar” yet.

On his stream yesterday Shawn made a comment about a lizard race and how they don't have one...yet. And Shawn has made comments about how the gray in between good and evil makes things more interesting. I've yet to hear them say anything I don't like.

copying the best game ever is a good thing
WoW has a bajillion clones. People who preferred WoW's solutions have plenty of options. Give me my EQ clone and take my money

There is a target audience that is trying to weaponize both their autism as well as their flexible schedule.
I think they call it "work from home" these days.
