nononon what they dream off is epixx and pawning noobs
no wait this is everquest the only thing htey want is to grind solo (me) or play with friends
Honestly the only healthy and sane thing to do is find out who stole your name, chat them up, laugh it off, become their friend, then 10 years later tell their teenage son they were adopted.
Ooooh savage! Good idea :)
This is an eve online level of revenge.
@@vintage910 uhh it’s a little tame for us Capsuleers, we would have burned down the house and sent the person the kids charred ear in the mail, and a video of us boinking their partner. Showing true parentage.
All in good fun after all, the best ship in eve online in friendship anyway. Even if it costs you your family
Thanks so much for continuing to uphold and support EverQuest. Without support, it will die. We must not let that happen! It is such a powerful collective experience that defined so many people's early lives.
Well done, Ion Blaze. I opted to try out Vaniki at launch instead of Yelinak so it was really cool to see some of your experiences. I laughed out loud at the clip you used and the context.
Hey thank you for coming by Redbeardflynn. Yeah it was really fitting that you talked about that. Wanted to include you somehow.
What a great video. Usually watching EQ is boring to me. But this was actually really entertaining. Great mix of explanations and skipping the downtime.
Thank you so much. Really nice compliment :)
@@IonBlaze1 YOUR WELCOME
The only thing that I don't like about these videos is that they make me want to spend way too much time playing EQ again. Great Work - making the low level EQ grind seem interesting is pretty tough, but you did it!
I appreciate those kind words. Thank you :)
Ty for the video while I'm taking a break from eq and p99 about 6 months now it's nice to get the nostalgic feeling from your videos. Ty
Appreciate you coming by vile goat. Nice to see you again
Watching this makes me wanna delve back into EQ. I've always been an FFXI and with some of the anniversary drama i really was looking at expanding to EQ. I might end up just jumping into a TLP
Thanks for the info. Congrats on the baby. My kids are grown-up, but I remember the baby year's. Hang in there it gets better!
When I tried a TLP- I remember another group dispelling my charmed pet in order to try to wipe us and take the pet. I petitioned with video evidence, and from what I could tell- no ban. It can really sour the EQ experience.
Oooof that's dirty fighting. People used to do that on open world raid mobs.
They give a warning, then ban for day, then week then perma.
I got suspended for a week because evidently waving at the GM standing next to me is failing their afk check. I was like oh cool what is going on with this GM here waved and faced him to see what was going on. evidently they put something in /say that you have to message them and it got drowned in my combat text. Good riddance I'll play somewhere else if they would rather pick on someone camping 2 trash mobs rather than bots.
I dont even play everquest. 12 Years deep into WoW. So i have always been intrigued by it. I love these narrated "story" type videos. How you introduce the zones with their respective story and how you explain the abilities and what the party is trying to do. I couldnt follow at all without that. Wish you all the best.
Customer support teams don't really communicate with the actual devs, and are often times outsourced. They're also trained to respond with automatic messages with little deviations being allowed as of the past 5 years. So, even if the devs and project managers really appreciate your work, there's a high chance the customer support member either has no idea who you are, or is forced to respond in that way. Talking as someone who has worked on both sides over the years
Oh I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for that info Svenz.
You don't need the keys to access the lower levels of Befallen. You only need the keys to exit the lower levels. :)
Loved watching this. You have a talent for story telling. Please keep this up!
Thank you. Really nice compliment
Everquest is the girlfriend you re-install after a drunken night out.
I just recently got back into Live EQ and found your videos looking for EQ content. I binge watched a few already and looking forward for more. I joined Yelinak two weeks ago and watching your vids is also making me more hyped to play!
3 more episodes to go. It get saucier imo. Thank you for the support :)
I prided myself as one of the best Ranger pullers on Tribunal in my day. I pulled for groups and for end game raids up to plane of Time. Was not especially common to be an end game Ranger pulling with harmony and a bow. But I was one of them. That was a long time ago.
Having a lot of fun on Yelinak myself. 36 CLR LFG :P Had someone who trained the whole zone in multiple picks of UR because they were powerleveling. Talk about a pain.
Ooof that sucks. Sorry about that.
Mine was taken too....sooo mad! Yelinak was the first TLP I've played and my name isn't common so someone that knows me from my server took it. Grrrr
Oh they took yours too. Sorry about that jeez.
GREAT content as always! Your videos are a treat for fans of EverQuest and social MMO’s in general!
😺👍
Thank you Sentry :)
I love the fact I saw this 2 years ago and just going through my lovely EQ vods I'm like hey look I remember this one!
"boohoo, where's my privilege?"
you are what's toxic on p99
Another great video. I did enjoy the TLP I played on through PoP as well as my time on P99. I play on Wayfayer's Haven now and have been thoroughly enjoying it there. It will never be the population of P99 but we are into GoD and OoW around May/June.
I've never heard of that. What's wayfarer's haven?
Hey bro, just seeing this video in 2024. Wanted to say I remember my first great guild too! What an experience. I was sad to see your last video content coming out 5 months ago. Keep up the content these are fantastic about the greatest game ever made!
A few months ago we were visiting southern Missouri and drove on that diverging diamond interchange. We thought it was so weird. Bizarre that the explanation for it would pop up for me at the end of a random EverQuest video of all places :D
Hey Ayo. Love to see that you still have as much passion for the game ever. Miss you over here on Mangler. Keep up the good work. - Snoog
Thank you Snoog. Miss seeing you
Would love to get added to a list of a "static group" next TLP or whatever next iteration of EQ you sink your teeth into. Keep them videos pumping man!
Yeah static groups are the way to do it :) Thank you for the nice words.
As much as I miss the heavy social aspect and deep exploration of EQ….I just don’t have the time anymore. I play FFXIV now because I can take long breaks and just pop in/out and run things solo if thats all I have time for. But this game will always be my first MMO love and no experience will replicate it for me.
Thank you for the comment. I totally get you with that. You can't just pick up & play EQ for 1hr. Whereas newer MMOs are more friendly to solo & interrupted playtimes. How do you like FF14? I was looking at the bard class there.
@@IonBlaze1 I love it. I’ve been playing it since release on and off and every expansion gets better. Bard got a rework for the better and all of the jobs get them very frequently. Your character can switch to any job and the game encourages it. I would say its most similar to WoW but executed better. They offer a free trial up to the Heaven’s ward expac as well. Thanks for the entertaining video and the trip down memory lane!
Just started back playing again and on Yelinak. Fun video and I am really enjoying it. Keep up the great work!
I've been through many guild breakups across many games. I've been through game ending server shutdowns. I've been there for the last seconds of amazing games before the devs shut it down. Nothing can compare to the flood of memories you got from those games in the first few minutes after the shutdown. I've lost touch with so many people because of the inability to reach out in other ways that in the game. But hopefully with tech getting better faster. We can have new games and make new memories. And make new friends and families.
Amazing Content! I also played on mangler and my guild broke up as well for over a year...it was called kursed! I remember midnight rations. Its hard when a guild breaks up....so many good people you will never talk to anymore:(
You get it! I remember Kursed. Thank you for coming by Jordon
Nice vid -- looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip to lvl 50. It's a nice break to just watch that instead of do all those hours again myself lol.
I getcha there. There's a lot of grinding & boring parts to fast forward through. Thank you for watching.
Great video, really captures the feel of the grouping and camps in zones. Intense stuff!
Thank you for watching. Gotta show how intense it gets lol.
Such high quality and stunning content! Thank you for letting some of us relive this game through you!
That's a really nice compliment! Thank you.
Love it. Btw, if no one has "acktuuahhleee"d you: The hag that you pulled in UR BM that trained the whole pit on you needs to be babysat up the ramp. You have to stay within melee range till you get it to the top of the ramp or it''ll train you every time. Much easier to do when its a terror. Hag is rough on that pull
Great video thanks, looking forward to the next TLP!
Some say the truest of bards play louder in the face of danger...
Everyone else in group during a big pull: Why do I hear the DOOM OST?
Hahaha! The soundtrack stays consistent. Found some great stuff on a stock footage site I pay for
Real woe is me vibe
I getcha there. It was actually the challenge that made it so fun. Sounds like complaining but it was the best part looking back. Thank you for giving the video a chance.
This is so awesome, I wish I could partake.
I played EQ when Kunark was current, but I missed everything by being an ignorant little shit.
Great video! Strong Flatts vibes and a joy to watch
Thank you. He was a great inspiration :)
Great video, helps fill the void since Flatts stopped uploading.
His stuff rocked! Thank you for watchign Jarghen
I know this is a year old, but I am loving the story progression of this video!!
Happy for the TLP MAngler. I came back after like 15 years and made 5 or 6 level 60s on mangler in the first 3 months.
Leveled my new char (shaman named Tooslow) in a fast 7 days to 60!
Then got hooked to playing like 21 hours a day and leveling non-stop and made a monk, did aame thing, 60 , got epic
then did it for an enchanter
then a SK, Necro, Rogue
ton of fun. By time I was done though speed-leveling these chars and getting all the top loot that was dropable or somewhat doable (like plane of air slippers for monk, shawl of fire for monk off one of those summoned epic mobs, etc) after doing this I realized the server was dying off... everyone said don't worry it gets better next XPAC as they are time progressed but no this was the beginning to the end, got worose and worse.
sad I felt like I worked on it all for nothing
REALLY WISHED WE HAD A ONLY ONE SERVER, literally ONE... so many people would be in every zone. Even if we had to do multi-zones like we do instances for dungeon.
if you ask me the extended target window shouldnt be a reward for leveling, it has nothing to do with the game lore, or RP value. It should be a toggle-able feature from start.
I still miss the guild Nightwatchers from 7th Hammer to this day. Best time and group of people I ever had the pleasure to play with. But, once server merges started and us being a euro time guild, it was hard to recruit on 7th. Due to the mergers, players were given a free 1 time transfer to another server and another misfit euro guild from Tholluxe (sp?) iirc transferred to 7th and merged with us. The chemistry among leadership and members began to degrade and people started leaving. I ended up transferring to Antonious Bayle and raided end game with the folks in Raging Fury, and while it was a thrill to be at the cutting edge of content, I'll always wish that I could have done those things with my true EQ family.
With the boxers the reason all of those people have a mage or necro army is they have click machines that hit a macro for them that assists the main and then sends in the pet and maybe casts a nuke could technically still be in true box code
Hmm yeah that makes sense. It was easier to box casters than melee for sure.
LOL that basement pull... chaos!! oh man... memories. Have a group of 4 friends that still play every few years. We'll all buy the latest xpansion, play for six months and then quit for years again lol
You gotta baby mobs through that hallway in UR basement, it's notorious for causing carnage
A very excellent watch
Thank you :)
Love your stuff. You have a great tone and good storytelling.
Thank you Mitch :)
Level 20 @~ 28:25 also opens a new damage cap range which is super important in a zone like Unrest as you are capable of more DPS even with the same gear.
Awesome video! I really enjoy your content and perspective!
100% correct, when they made the games easy to play without interacting with others it was downhill from there...
It seems Daybreak like Verant Interactive is giving you the full old school authentic day 1 experience... Minus the random server crashes... where you can repeat the hassle of logging in against a cue... over and over and over...
Man I have had to deal with getting my actual name on MMOs so often that the first few minutes of this video truly hurts
Oh I didn't know you went through that too lol
Excited for this! Been waiting and looking for it. :)
Thank you David :)
Love your stuff man… I’m sad to see you all struggled with a 6th … I started an enc in resurgence and actually rage quit at 43 because of my static…. Shoulda joined yours!! 😂
Thank you for the compliment Demris. That stinks we didn't team up.
When i played as my Mage on Saryrn, i liked Unrest, outside of a couple of camps in Lavastorm, the gaps were too much, it was like trying to level in Skyfire(which i would do solo just because i liked farming the spells)
Super Video dude, really enjoyed it! I run a guild too on Yelinak!
Thank you for the nice words. I wish you best with your guild.
Awesome vid, now it makes sense why I’ve never seen you online before lol. What a jerk taking your name. Cool to see what you’ve been up to. I did unrest and actually I think mortiarti is a guildie of mine
Thank you for the compliment Ehlias. Yeah Mort changed guilds.
Great video man. Doing my part for the algo.
Thank you so much for the help :)
what a journey :) thank you fo rthe good memories :)
"But i'm an influencer!" get over yourself. name collisions happen.
Damn right, multistreams going on, you act a fool, you get caught! =P
Hell yeah! It was nice seeing you during the leveling up process. Congrats on making your living with the streams :)
@@IonBlaze1 Into the third month of full-time streaming....so far, so good :) Working on 3rd set of toons on Yelinak presently, the Iksar shaman lol
Ion, morti and I would love having you in classic nostalgia
Bard? Nevermind...I see it now & knew it was a dumb question! Of course it's a Bard
Gotta do it! Thank you for coming by :)
biggest thing I dislike about EQ is that its not a Holy Trinity. Its a Holy Quad. If you do not have a mezzer you cannot play in most camps.
I love it
man, dieing to that ice skeleton... That happened so many times to me.
Good vid again. One of your best for sure.
Thank you for the kind words Apple
My brother, you have to come to Mischief.
I don't recall the magus room being locked but maybe that was classic
your videos are like listening to an audiobook...have you ever thought about narrating books? really good!
Everquest knows that when Pantheon finally releases they will be out of business.
Come play with us over on mischief buddy. The Server rule set is the best ever in my opinion and many others. Going to be the biggest tlp ever
Oh yeah I heard they're still going strong MUCH later than all previous TLPs. Nuts.
@@IonBlaze1 yeah, the sharable loot, bonus 5x loot, and random loot drop rules, plus 200% rare spawns, make this server chill and fun for people with busy lives... You don't have to no life it to be able to see all the content. My guild loves it!! We are no where near the top guild, we clear all content, and a have about 60 members at any given time
What does an MMO player dream of? A way I can plug my brain into a computer so I can physically exist in a virtual fantasy world.
Worth the wait. Great content.
Thank you so much nick. Appreciate the support!
Too bad I couldn't play on opening weekend or I would have loved to be your static Enchanter!
Oh yeah that would have been great
@@IonBlaze1 just an FYI, I do have an Enchanter on Yelinak. Her name is Muirenn and she is lvl 37 currently. If you ever need help, just let me know.
@@Elderos5 ok will do :)
Instancing raid targets makes sense, instancing zones ruins the world.
It ruins the world?
The zones are only instanced when it's required. In my opinion /pick is better than dungeon finder instancing where you don't even need to physically go to the literal zone. It strikes the best balance when you're trying to fit a large population onto one or two servers max.
They have a hard time even convincing significant numbers to go to a second server, I don't think they can just horizontally scale like back in the day with more servers (nevermind the cost).
There are drawbacks but I've tried playing some of the very first TLPs before there was any instancing and it was by far an objectively worse experience, you have to compare apples to apples.
@@IonBlaze1 yes, it feels less like a world, and more like a game
Id love to have a party to play with in Eq. Before planes of power, one could solo level and do well.
I know how ya feel about the guild I joined a guild day 1 on the Phinny server, a lot of the people I liked I saw come and go.. Thankfully we were able to stay together to even get officially to Live.. Sure the guild wasn't what it was back in the Velious/Luclin/PoP eras when we were 3 or 4 splitting raids every raid night but we made it and no matter what other TLP I join... I just can relive that experience.. too many toxic guilds that just move from TLP to TLP =\
love ur content as usual brother crazy hearing u say Springfield mo that's where I live small world 🌎
Oh that's crazy! Thank you for the compliment :)
@@IonBlaze1 anytime brother been a huge fan for awhile u got me back in to eq about year ago thanks for that 🙏
Befallen is my favorite zone has been since I was a kid Hella good xp at low level can't believe you never been there lol
Yeah it's a pretty sweet place :)
That enchanter Hoego was certainly terrible, but you have to admit, great villains make for great storytelling!
Haha Hoego made my day. Scumbags make the show interesting.
Lol... I spent hours in Befallen with my first character a Paladin. The trains are real.
Yeah it's just those zones with 1 way in/out that are terrible.
@@IonBlaze1 Befallen was extremely bad because of the locked doors and the broken staircase. Throw in a gimp machine and the original user interface and man... was it adrenaline packed. Oh, and if you died behind a locked door, the key stayed on your corpse, with all your other gear. 😂 No pressure to dig your key our or anything.
But it was one of the first zones I XPed in that wasn’t a starting zone and it will always be one of my favorite memories of EQ.
People thinking they are special and have rights to names, lol. Just the thought of that makes me laugh.
Men you are really good with story telling, i use to play EQ and Shards of Dalaya so this is great to watch ! Can you play EQ Yelinak on mac?
Confusing abrupt ending, but great storyline altogether in this video. Did you ever directly mention why you broke up with Yelinak? If so I missed it.
You should play on takp server man. Pop Era is great. And no toxicity in the raid scene. The devs actually give a hoot. Plus sleeper is always asleep no matter if you kill all 4 warders or not. Also daybreak doesn't care about promotion tbh. They just release another tlp:)
I box 4 toons and my wife boxes 2… we have never.. never trained someone by accident or on purpose… we would rather die then get someone killed…
We play on test… 2 days ago I came back.. it’s been over 15 years since I played last… I decided to see what all I remembered.. I ran from Qeynos .. all through the karanas… through the gorge.. killed some evil eyes… went to kael and killed vindi again.. had so much fun..
i remember using a pet at the qeynos bank in the early days of eq1 pvp, and i'd just sit there because it was a dwarf with low allegiance and i'd loot accidentally 4 emeralds, i would keep my char at lvl 8 just to troll and it worked, slowly got new newb gear, then someone doing the same thing had the same idea and had the firey sword (very high level) no-drop item (that he got from doing the arena no-drop hack) and would chop us all down, haha, good times.
Mangler is going strong! Viels of Alaris just opened. level 95 cap.
Heck yeah. That's great to hear. Thank you.
I 4 boxed a chanter, sham, mag, and bard on yelinak up til end of tov, I did it legit the whole way with 2 laptops my dekstop and my wifes desktop. I had my chanter on my main pc, my sham on my closest laptop and bard on my other laptop. I kept my mag on my wifes pc and used a mouse with keybinds to control it. I bought an extra large mouse pad for this reason. I had a mouse for each laptop as well and was able to easily reach over and control my shaman. I had a necro friend and we regularly took on drusella each week in hs and when he wasn't on I absolutely destroyed that zone as well as anywhere in chardok i wanted with this setupl. I even managed to do my entire shaman epic myself, that took abusing the no lvl loss perk by binding myself in city of mist when doing that part but it was possible lol. So if you see a big group of people on follow its bot always somebody cheating to get around the truebox code but it is extremely rare. I did have to run a vpn because i was hitting keys simultaneously too often from 2 or more pcs and it would disconnect me.
Keep them coming!!
Will do :) Thank you for watching.
They should have universal name slot so your name can never be stolen.
Big baby.
Hehe, well thank you for giving the video a chance :)
Truebox code is not there to prevent boxing.
Truebox code is there to enforce one character per physical computer.
Two very different things.
I was on Yelinak from valious to GoD but as normal I get tired of spending hours looking for a group and end up back on my local Emulater server since I can just spawn jn the bots and skip the lfg and play
Funny enough resurgence is still arguably the #1 guild on Yelinak. They downed all GoD raids sub 12 hours of release.
They went from nothing to killing tunat in 12 hrs?
Did you try to appeal the name change referencing the naming policy rule #5? Looks like you could make a good case to say Ayonic is a part of your brand's IP.
There is a policy lol? Is what it is. Asmongold was smart to say he'd buy it from whoever got it first.
Yea the toxicity is strong. Those vp key camps. Ahhhhhh
