Very grateful for the Tormax server

    boxing 10-30 toons on a no box server, clerics doing automated complete heal chains etc .. the loot rules are just too enticing for some people to just play and enjoy without it turning into a money making scheme, and the krono farming possibilities are just endless.

    Agreed. Teek reminds me of the idea of "participation trophies". Everyone gets a trophy, guys! Yay, we're l33t

    Good to hear no queues for Tormax.

    You guys get to play, while Teek folks wait in queue!

    Almost 6pm est and Tormax not even into medium pop. Really would have been nice to get two copies of Teek instead.

    I'd much rather have Tormax tbh. I really don't care enough about random loot and no trade to have that be my only option, especially when I can get in immediately and play on Tormax with no queues.

    Enjoy what you want. There is no need to attempt to insult the people who are playing on the other server, especially when the reason why the folks on Tormax won't be spending krono on loot is because there isn't going to be anyone selling anything for krono on your server. You would actually need a population for that to happen. Have fun soloing those raid mobs.

    Random is not an option for me, that was horrible for me but glad some people like random / bonus loot / free trade.

    I'll stick to my slow, old, traditional : )

    Honestly, great. I'm glad you got what you wanted. We're complaining because it was a very clear misstep to launch Tormax in it's current form. Having one person that enjoys it, or 300, it still could have used a lot of love and a different ruleset. It's too late to save it now so go play and enjoy it while you can.

    DBG just enable 3 boxes per PC on Tormax unlocked immediately. It isn't too late!

    Tormax is a fine server. I really thought the forums would stifle itself once it got a mischief clone, but i see people just want to rabble about anything negatively.

    To the Teek gamers; enjoy yourself. It sounds like a fun time. Please give equal consideration if you dont intend to play on Tormax..

    I've just come back to the game and figured I'd visit the forums. Holy hell people are up in arms hating a server because it doesn't have random loot? I'm only back because I wanted to try a progression server from launch, if there were random loot I wouldn't be here.
    Also I've brought my wife for the first time, we know NO ONE on the server and have made friends and found groups within minutes of logging in. We are loving it! This hate is just weird, some of you need to step outside and touch some grass.

    Tormax more like Torminimum

    Tormax is a dad server.
    No, that's not a typo. Well, it started as a typo by a troll looking to rile us up, but then we ran with it and spent like a half hour in general chat trading dad jokes.
    I can't speak for everybody, but I'm happy there. :)

    People like you don't even play the game, you just talk on the forums about servers you don't even play on. It's cringe. I came back to visit these forums because I'm actually playing the game and wanted to see what people are saying. It's embarrassing that this your source of entertainment, not playing eq, but sitting here arguing about the servers.

    I understand WHY Tormax was so unpopular this cycle...and I get a standard rule set can be popular...

    Only Tormax was not launched alone it was up against a highly sought after rule set. And we were telling DBG the day of the announcement this is EXACTLY what would happen.

    The population on Tormax is pathetic. Tormax should have been a copy of Teek with FTE...At which point it would have been much more popular...Even some on Teek see that FTE was a good thing, people are living the wild wild west on Teek.
  18. Servers_are_Down Error 404: Server status not found.

    Considering that there isn't new players in this player base, whatever the ruleset is would most likely just siphon from Teek..

    Personally, I REALLY want heirloom or the oakwynd ruleset on Tormax, but traditional is better than randomized so it works
  19. Soriano Augur

    Yes we needed a server that would take a large block of the population...I do not think other rule sets would have taken half. but most anything would have taken more than Tormax did.

    I would have been quite happy with a reboot of Oakwynd. Even without free trade / random loot.

    I want to see them be the same except FTE to prove the point. FTE is a LOT more popular than a vocal few want to admit to. People against FTE want the ability to KS others. They are not even secretive about it.

    DBG could have used this scenario to truly understand what was important to the majority of players and where the divide actually exists.

    Nice meta-troll.

    I'm just trying to recreate some good times with my brother, who's almost completely shut-in at this point except he can curl up one shoulder and blink an eye. "KILL" he keeps cringing. Lvl 20 ding.

    Family is everything to me.
