Money isn't the problem for me. I already box 6-12 characters every TLP anyway. I just think it is insane that the average player who wants to box a healer or whatever class needs to buy additional hardware.

There weren't many "54 man armies" to begin with. If anything, those people are now using VMWare to cut costs on hardware and evade the rule entirely anyway lol. People who want to box will box regardless. Why make it more annoying than it has to be?

just stay on mischief, guy. there's nothing on this server worth switching over from mischief.

Locking just turns this game more into a WoW wannabe rather than what made EQ great. Bad and boring idea.

In the early stages of a TLP absolutely. Add free trade on it and it's even worse. If you think when Kunark is unlocked people aren't perma camping a fung... Or throughout the early game when they let the pre nerf stuff drop for a little bit.

If only there were other servers that you could play on.....

Yeah, that's what the word "easier" means. I didn't say this has never happened before and now it will. I said it makes it easier to do. They don't even need the DPS to beat you. They just need to be able to survive until the mob is dead and take all they time they need. Even if your group can out damage them, too bad. It doesn't even take a group to sit on you. It only takes one person ready to tag the mob as soon as it spawns.

But it's HiGhLy ExPeRiMeNtAl!

In reality, it'll have almost no impact on how the game is played. It just changes the way in which KSing is done, but in the grand scheme of things, this is very close to a blank carbon-copy TLP. All those hilariously meaningless 'per expansion' bonuses are equally bereft of real impact because the ones that actually make a real difference come long after the point in time when a TLP has normally died if it doesn't have an actually special ruleset like Mischief.

Hilarious (and sad) that they called this HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.

I dont know your history, but i have been 6 boxing since Fippy, Ragefire and Lockjaw.
There were definitely a large amount of players that were boxing 24+ toons and several that were boxing full raids.

I dont disagree that some of those players may be using VMware, but i think you would find most people just bought mini computers.

Maybe its a by product of also implementing DZs, but i have not seen a single 54 man team since on a truebox server since ragefire. Ive definitely seen 18-24 mans, but even those are rare. IMO truebox did exactly what it had intended to do.

Maybe not for Classic, but beyond that there are many who would prefer at least a 6 month unlock. It comes down two two different player types:

- achievers who revel in rapid advancement

- explorers who enjoy seeing everything there is to see, and reliving old times, possibly on multiple characters.

they have literally said they want to implement these changes to live servers and every server going forward. its the whole reason this server exists. I dont think people are overreacting, its a fundamental change to how everquest works.

if a group or 5 box or 2 sk's or whatever that's more dps than me or my group - there's no way to combat that either outside of bringing in more people/boxes - or distastefully training/attempting to whipe them.
the veteran lords of ks'ing know all the tricks - your statement means you support the stealing of rares if they DO have the dps to out damage your group?

Adding free trade would be a great improvement to the server's ruleset.

It's because it will prevent the easier powerleveling methods and the Krono farmers will not be able to make their millions as quickly.

Feels like a retail wow developer made this server

If this whole FTE thing stays, that is...

Random loot and free trade is what will bring in numbers, let alone make leveling multiple characters on one account actually viable (account raid lockouts mean group game only for all but one character per account, right?)

Then again, Mischief is going to have more players than this server after a month. I'll just pretend Mischief is the new TLP and play there again, I think.

Remember to Like if you are agreeing, Likes increase Dev visibility.

as were AoC's, mischief loot, etc and so on and so forth. - fundamental changes to the game

Yes, add free trade! Bump

Well, like I said, I would love to see the stats on this after the fact. I personally think it's not going to change people finding groups more often. I would argue anyone putting forth the effort to level alts and maintain them between unlocks for the bonus will have a small group of friends leveling, power leveling themselves or just more people paying krono levelers to do it for them. But hey, lets hope I'm wrong and it promotes being able to find more groups.It would be greatly beneficial for server health.
