Lol they have roughly the same concurrent users as a free EQ emu shard. The only circle this thing is completing is the drain.

Normally I would agree but unless they completely shit the bed moving forward it is gonna grow and find its niche. This game has negative good will, and feels like early mmos.
Also there is a stand alone client so numbers are a little off.
For those on the fence that love EQ know you are missing the first wave of something special. Highest level in guild is 14-15 right now. Most are 4-8 so lots of groups available and you need to group.
Edit: just checked, they have doubled their concurrent players since “launch” word if mouth must be working.

There was like 3000 people with PA access, idk if the other pledge tiers can log in without steam too but if so it could be like 10,000+

They keep at it and I'll never touch an EQ TLP, WoW, or shitty Korean MMO again, this is the shit some of us nerds been craving forever.
After the shitshow that was Vanguard, I and many others were pretty fucking salty, I invested a lot into that game (even built a new PC for it)
On one hand we finally have a game to see, and it's actually pretty tight, on the other hand we have over a decade of smoke and mirrors after the previous EQ successor crashed (over and over) and burned.
In other news, the animals have started to speak to me, not quite sure what he was getting at, so killed it an moved on, like a good murderhobo:

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, but keep forgetting to check logs lol
It should be a thing, especially as DBG decided to fucking remove it after 20+ years. Still curious who the genius with that idea was.
Edit cuz I didn't want to post again.
You will grow to despise this horse, it's the most fucking annoying mob I've ever encountered:

I might be misunderstanding you but there’s no need to pledge to play the game. Just buy it on Steam for $40 or whatever they’re charging it for in the US.

I think you're gonna deal with dislikable people when you're solo'ing in areas with groups too. Haven't seen anything like the entitled cry baby p99 community rear it's ugly head yet. Hopefully the staff doesn't cater to it or make deals with them under the table of it does happen. We'll see.

Might not be the game for ya if you don't like people, grouping is so much more rewarding experience wise than soloing or duoing. My brother and I have tried numerous spots and the exp we can get in a duo is nothing compared to when we get the whole group together and go hit the group content.
We did the undead manor area last night. Got a bad ass 1hb weapon for my shaman, Rune-Carved Hammer, 10 dmg, 2.6 delay with 1 con and 2 wisdom on it. Exp was really flowing there, I think we might head back tonight if it's not already camped when we get together. Most of the crew is 15 now.

No pledging, no signing up for this, or that. The initial process is smooth as butter. Just buy the shit on Steam and log in. Nothing extra about it which was quite appreciated after signing up for all these different beta's and alpha's and all that bullshit.
I honestly picked Cleric just to be able to get groups quickly. Thought there would be population issues, but there arent. Turned out to be a really fun class to play that still had that responsibility. Like you start combat with a Gap opener for everyone else, long range insta (Still not sure on this one, but with a Wizard in the group - he said he was able to chain one of his spells off it? Not sure, but since its insta cast - I just do it. )
Then an insta cast melee DPS spell that makes your next beneficial spell free, so you cast the big shield thats like a discipline priests bubble from WoW. Then go on to cast your free DPS spell, and start melee. If people start to get hurt, and you need mana, its got a free 20% mana spell that has a relatively short refresh. So you're basically only sitting down after a bad pull. Small heal, big heal, bigger heal. Revive, Cures, HP/Armor Buff, etc. etc. .... I mean, its basically a Holy Paladin without all the BS. Maybe itll change in the later levels? But I sure af hope not. The concept is really good/fun. Since the only time I am engaging in the ass sitting is when there is a bad pull.
Most of my gear has wisdom on it and Im slowly replacing it with higher wisdom stuff. Went with Provisioning, and I've made myself wisdom food with that too. So .. Maybe its just where Im geared for my level? I dont know. But I do want to play other classes and see what theyre like. Invited another Cleric to the group yesterday so I could add my big nuke to the rotation and... They just sat there playing like an EverQuest Cleric. Completely clueless that they can add DPS to the fight? Or just lazy. I also saw how a DL in one group was basically completely able to sustain himself 90% of the time, still wearing rags. But a DL in the same camp, wearing a full suit of crafted leather - was getting the shit beat out of himself.
I mean the player skill difference in this game doesnt seem like it would be a lot - but Im rather impressed with the Dev's that they've implemented such light touch things that you can tell the difference between a shitty player and a good player just by how theyre using their spells.
You've probably got limited choices then. Necro's in as your old go-to, and you can make some pretty quick money starting out by having summon corpse so early. Wasnt a soul around yesterday to get my corpse out of a fkn cave that went from lvl 6 mobs to probably level 12+? So I paid him like almost 16s to get my corpse. Then saw less than 5 mins later people were paying upwards of 25s. I know that doesnt sound like a lot to you - but thats big money in the low levels lol. I think I've also heard Shamans are the best soloer's.

I'm going to open a can of worms. Can you multi-box?
Honestly I think finding a good solo class and pushing the limits is a great way to provide feedback on the game.
Their guys literally read everything (even troll garbage) in the feedback section.
And if you don't get a response there, I'm here for ya.

I've seen the obvious ones doing it here and there. I'd assume you would need multiple steam accounts though, unless you had a pledge/pass/whatever.I'm going to open a can of worms. Can you multi-box?
Edit: For the record I'd be up to "testing" multiboxing if VR has no issues with people doing it with no cheaty shit involved, if I got freebie pass hint hint.
Sure be convenient to move shit around, but not for $50 CAD at this point of things.

.....
Fuck..... Fuck right off....
I remember when EQ2 came out, I chose that over WoW since they released basically 14ish days apart. Because EQ2 was going to be EQ, but new! .... It really wasn't.
Then Vanguard came along. I remember these forums then. How Utanyan would argue that it would end up being bad, but I didn't believe him. He was a heretic going against the vision(tm). My young naive self believed that it would be the next one. The good one to bring the EQ feeling back. Then I got into the beta. He was right. I was wrong.
Then time passed and sporadic posting in some EQ threads about nostalgia. I would talk about how EQ was ahead of its time, and how people now, with the rising popularity of Demon Souls, then Dark Souls, and the mechanics of no maps with exploration and risk vs reward coming back into play. How the mechanics of what "hardships" were in EQ, that were removed not as QOL but.... for "ease of entry" so to speak could work again. Slower pace and a dangerous world.
Then talk of EQ "Next" came along. Storybricks! New and old mixed together.... Then that came to EA/Beta and you dug holes.... Then that got cancelled.
Then this. I didn't kickstarter it. I didn't have an ounce of faith. I had become the jaded old gamer. This thread, for years, have been nothing to me except to go into it every few months to look at funny gifs, which has given me more fun than most "EQ games" have given me since the first few weeks of EQ2 through laughs and smiles at what appeared to be an almost decade long trainwreck.
Now.... I enter to view gifs at the end of the year. And I'm like... where are gifs? I go back a page... positivity? Go back 10 more and start going through posts.... Play it. It's fun. It's good (for EA). It's actually a game. They seem to be on a path to be doing it, as in making a "new" EQ.
On this forum?
FINE!
