Sankis posted:Yeah it sounds like an absolute cluster gently caress. Awesome. I'm sure there's someone out there who knows of some really obscure low level spawns that is raking in the xp It's p99. Everyone knows every spot. Plus, the people out there right now have been preparing for this. As long as the population is new and numerous, no one is getting ahead so much it would make a difference.

I was thinking of the weird cluster of low level poo poo you'd sometimes see in higher level areas but you're right. There's nothing obscure about eq anymore.

I think they did this when Blue first released as well with Tumpy Tonics, since it was becoming a giant drug smuggling operation. Like GMs watching people doing purchases and turn in for the quests and removing xp from them and then nerfing the quests xp rewards etc.

That actually stemmed from an even worse bug - they accidentally made the nuts stackable, so people were producing them twenty times faster than on vanilla live. They immediately nerfed the experience (even though it was out-of-era), punished a bunch of people, and even refused to address it on Green bugs when it was brought up. Classic P99 indeed!

Lmao, yeah I knew I had forgotten some wrinkle to it. The proud Tumpy Bootleggers and their extremely low combat skills for their levels.

Honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would as immediately moved away from Kaladim to the more sparsely populated parts of BB that still have low level mobs. Destroying things with my tarnished two handed sword hah.

Working up an Erudite Enchanter, Daniel faced ready when the illusion comes. Made it to 3 this morning before work, Toxx was fantastic on the north side but before I left for work the south was all pixies and wisps. Logging on now, let's see if I can get 4 tonight! The name is Cortical in game.

I made a level 1 wiz this morning and noped out when i saw 49 people in Tox.

moolchaba posted:I finally did it. I wanted my own EQ server so I could just alter items and power myself through stuff and visit zones I've never been in. Just to mess around till I grow bored with it. This seems like entirely my poo poo. I don’t hate myself enough to ruin my life by playing the game for real all over again, nor do I have the time, so it would be cool just to pretty much have god mode enabled and see whatever I want.

gently caress, I just saw this today. Going to try and get it loaded up on my work mac tonight. What class is great, but gets you a lot of down time so I can theoretically play and work at the same time?

Casters are the better classes objectively and have lengthy downtime even when grouping as you still med often Cleric would be #1. You just get in groups and you can sit meditating until people need heals? Enchanter, Magician, I guess less so Necro but still, Wizard but don't play wizard its a lonely existence

The first night there were up to 2700, and it's tapered off to 2300 max the 2nd night. I've logged back in and now have my SK up to level 5 (soon 6).

I didn’t have time to play, but I watched some and the guy was complaining because they nerfed some quests, I think specifically bone chips but maybe others. Seems surprising considering the weird lengths they go for accuracy in certain areas seems arbitrary.

They increased spawn times to deal with all the players in newbie zones then I guess weren’t a fan of people doing bone chip quests with the increased spawn rate. I’m confused why it matters but not my server. I popped on last night and was amused to find every single spawn in the Qeynos newbie yard camped.
