Cool story. What’s your official source on this?

So what is your official source of why FTE isn’t on the new 25th servers? I didn’t know you worked for Daybreak / Darkpaw. Or maybe,...

Lejaun replied to the thread No FTE on Teek and Tormax.

Are you sure? OldtimeEQ says it’s a ghost town, so it must be so, right?

Lejaun replied to the thread No FTE on Teek and Tormax.

It’s weird how Oakwynd became a ghost town but still somehow managed to maintain a medium server population during the day……

For me, FTE was a massive success. The toxicity went way down, people trying to steal kills became almost zero, and trains were almost...

Lejaun replied to the thread Feedback: New Servers announcement.

I don’t believe that the majority think FTE is so terrible. Seems a bit of hyperbole there.

Lejaun replied to the thread Changes I would have made to the TWO rulesets to better serve the population split.

Doesn’t that already happen on every server? Items drop all the time that can’t be used by a group member.

Lejaun replied to the thread Changes I would have made to the TWO rulesets to better serve the population split.

There are too many TLPs to split them up. The population is getting stretched. Should have done Teek and Teek.0 with a planned merge in...
