Most folks seem to think it has to do with Smedley threatening a civil suit against the 17 year old lizard squad kid that only got 2 years probation and no jail time for the ddos stuff last year and grounding his flight, doxxing him, etc.

So where are goons typically playing? RF or LJ? Thinking of returning for a gently caress around but 700 posts to catch up on so was hoping for a tl;dr pros/cons of the two servers and where goons are hanging out.

John Smedley lives in the dumpster now and looks out forlornly as they literally dismantle EQ and toss it in with him. A froglok casting a shimmering blue spell reflects off his misty eye right before the garbage truck compacter crunches him into a trash cube. "Welp," the stubbly garbageman mutters as the truck swings out of sight, "I'm gay."

Take off all your DSes, illusion through doors and keep running till you get to a boss, then fade.

When I came back, and didn't have an SK alt, and druids were a couple years away from getting fade, it took me about an hour to clear up to the room before Aten's port in. Then I clicked the thing to go back to zone in.

It's baked into the game engine too deeply to just remove it. There's zone design and dev workarounds, but older zones will probably be vulnerable to it forever.

Multi-piece doors, fake doors, and teleporters all avoid it. PoW uses a couple mechanics to punish being in an area you shouldn't be.

The Twisted Legacy tears on the public forums/reddit over the new enforced raid rotation has been the most entertaining thing I've seen since the TLP launched.

This is pretty funny, because, so far, this is exactly how my original experience went.


1) only a few groups could kill anything.

2) once more groups could kill things, a server rotation was created

3) after watching many groups be unable to kill their targets on their appointed time slot, our guild went screw this and started taking everything again




If DBG announces a free for all down the road, I'll be blown away by how close it is to my original experience.

I don’t believe in rotations, at the same time I hear everyone’s plight and you have my sympathetic ear, but to me EQ has always been about earning your rewards, putting in the requirements. Granted the requirements are much steeper now than they probably have been since 99, but like we have to adapt and move forwards.

I made a personal change in my life style so that I could participate with TL and try to be a contributing member. I do have a full time job, I also do asked for time off for opening 2wks of TLP release, and I use my vacation days now, so that I can try to be online for specific targets to help the guild. These are choices I made in my life, so that I could participate at the highest levels in EQ, kill the targets as they spawn, and reap the rewards for being able to do so.

By adding this rotation in, and removing competitive play, you have basically nullified my efforts, and my sacrifices I made in my life. Something honestly after hearing Holly opening late in a public interview, I never thought I would see.

So, now that competition and competitive gaming is no longer part of EQ, I have cancelled my account …

I will no longer be giving DBG my money…and after 16yrs of having at least 1 active account going, this will be my first time I have felt truly betrayed by DBG.
