For me, this is the best time of the server. I enjoy being able to find groups easily with everyone on equal ground. I could care less about server firsts or thinking about when the next expansion will open. The infancy of the server is really what captures true EQ.
You're starting on equal levels, not equal footing. If servers started on equal footing, the nostalgiabaiters that come back for the first month of each server wouldn't always wind up with 7 alts, none of which make it past level 40 or so before they burn out and leave again.
I agree I love the era. If only my class was available, I could actually enjoy it too. ALAS I'll have to wait and see what the server looks like circa luclin. If its as big a boxy mess as Mangler was then ... meh. If the GM's are actually visible and keeping things in check.. then ya I'll be excited too. Just not as much since I love raiding SoV, but never get to in-era.
remind me Are there translocators or boats? Are there soulbinders? Do we get tradeskill windows or is it oldschool?
I'm ready. Let's go check in on the current state of EQ's servers and their readiness for the TLP launch uhoh
Excited about launch, even though I'll not be logging in until Thursday morning. Hopeful my decision to only play one character during my weird play schedule won't be too disastrous lol.
Depends on the character. If you pick a tank/cleric/enc you should be fine. If you are dps it might be disastrous.
They replaced the boats with translocators because the boats were apparently very buggy There are soul binders in every major city, you can find them with Control-F cant really answer the tradeskill question, i have very little experience in that area on TLPs
Im usually an old, back in my day, get off my lawn type of person with regards to QOL of changes, but the tradeskill window is the only thing that makes tradeskilling tolerable. I can still feel my wrist ache when thinking of leveling up brewing back in the original days.
Well good thing is if you hit a plateau where your selected class just kinda kills slowly, hit up the tradeskills during those levels. I equate it to AA farming, everything you do makes your character better.
Most likely, but maybe! with the server merges that happened, a tiny bit more bandwith is ready for use , but after the past 4 launches..... LOL
