Assuming I don't gain crippling arthritis, I can't wait to play this on release day a decade from now.

Going to be a lot of falling on that day. Mostly as people get too excited to keep a grip on their canes and walkers.

The only thing that bothers me about the game is that they cant seem to make any concrete decisions about what they want in the game to harken back to 1999 in reference, or they want to take the stance of it being 2025. The decisions just seem so arbitrary sometime.

The population going down at this point makes sense, though. We're well past the Steam launch and it doesnt take that long to get to a spot where the game slows down tremendously. The last TLP I played with Zaides crew, I think I got to 50 in a day and 60 on day three .. four? Where as here... either the content, or lack thereof, is slowing people down or they have intentionally cranked up the exp to slow people wayyyyy tf down. Which is sort of what Im implying with the 1999 vs 2025. Using Nirgon's torch example, thats clearly a 2025 approach to avoid having to code all that extra shit before Unity 6's unknown impact. But the exp is straight out of OG EverQuest.

Ill play it again when they do a wipe. Fix crafting to be less AID's. Have all the classes in. etc. etc.

Twitch link if anyone is curious to hear the whistleblower's side of the story. First 10-15min he talks about the incident.

It does sound like, at the very least, a dev got way too chummy with his $700 dollar pledge buddies. And it's pretty shitty that VR's CEO basically called him a disgruntled liar.

The truth is a lot less important to a CEO than saving face for the company. Not likely to know the truth nor is it super important. Hopefully a valuable PR lesson was learned.

You guys ask for the classic everquest experience, you get the kind of staff corruption that server gms and the like graced eq with, then you complain! It's like you don't really want the classic eq experience at all!

Being friends with the GMs and guides in EQ1 was great, though!
True. My friend and I were chill with GM Hakosako on 7th and we got away with dumb shit all the time. Then he got fired for killing Lum the Mad's wife in unrest lmao.
