Could today be THE day...

when they announce the new TLP servers rulesets?

Not today, they wouldn't be believed!

That's what they think you would think!

They never post tlp rulesets on any other day except fridays.

This is a special year, maybe they will surprise us!

https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-producers-letter-april-2023 - april 5th 2023 was a wednesday
https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-producers-letter-spring-2022 - april 7th 2022 was a thursday
https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-mischief-progression-server-2021 - april 26th 2021 was a monday
https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-rizlona-aradune-progression-server-launch-2020 - april 28th 2020 was a tuesday

so they have actually never posted the rulesets on a friday...

Yea, historically Wed and Friday were the days, mostly Friday for the examples I found. (the single Wed was way back, Coirnav I think?)

They leaked them in Discord earlier today (Discord if you don't have it). Said an announcement is coming in the producers letter on Wednesday.

Basically, a phinny clone with slower exp (tormax) and a kunark locked bonus exp/bonus loot server (teek).

2/10 troll. At least be somehow believable with your pranks.

I'm hoping for a Monday news dump!

One will be FV rules pvp, the other will full race to unlock pvp! No timed unlocks!
Oh, the catch is that rogues and druids are the only classes available until DoN.

If I had to GUESS...

One True Box (will go relaxed box at OoW)

One non true box

All other rules same

FTE on BOTH

Free Trade on BOTH

Random Loot on BOTH

Legacy XP on BOTH

or Tormax non FTE and is PVP the other is FTE and PVE.

I think you are pretty close on your first guess, I don't see anyway they will waste resources on a pvp server given how few people would ever roll a character there.

I am pretty sure it will be this week, no clue what day.

I hope so. I don't want to get too hyped until I know the rulesets as they have swung and missed quite a few times in the past.

Yeah, I just want closure. Either going to play because it's something exciting..or moving on because it is just a clone of something previously.

I've made a plan, if I don't like the new ruleset I'll go do my plan in Mischief, but it will mean I will have to box and a lot of thing will have to be done out of era.

I think you've got most of it right, with a few aspects (most of the variables) wrong...

1) Both will be Truebox (perhaps early relaxed for one or both, but both with have some degree I'm sure)
2) Zero chance of PVP on either.
3) Random loot won't be Mischief style with the up to 6x more loot vomiting out and all of it being random - my guess would be 1 extra drop slot from a random table. (possibly 2 drops on Teek, 1 drop on Tormax, see #3) [this is in addition to the original mob dropping their typical loot - also possibly limiting the tables more than the original version - i.e. same zone/etc]
3) I believe the variable between them will likely be in the "difficulty" aspect - and being that the full Legacy mechanic from Oakwynd makes things easier with most targeting the current xpac elements - I'd imagine that the Legacy variables will be the differentiation between the two. i.e. if Teek gets a +50% bonus to AAXP in Luclin, Tormax will get +25%, etc

Final note, which I literally just thought of as well - I could see Teek having named drops or early augs moved to zonewide rares overall with the name of Teek - as Teek is associated with hotzones where zonewide rare drops of augs became a thing.

My crystal ball tells me the loud minority here will produce a lot of whining on the forums, while the majority of the playerbase enjoys the game

The window is officially open Today thru Thursday or we leak into next week.
