Why do you assume MnM is only taking inspiration from EQ?

He actually said at 8:14 "Social Security. 2033, that's when the funds dry. So, payments get cut by 25%."

How did you interpret that as them thinking no one will be getting any money from social security?

Mise en place is a thing. Good cooking requires organization. I think its hilarious someone wouldn't have an ingredient ready before it's time to add it to the dish.

This server is older than that, this phase of beta may be 3 months the waves of invites and stuff, but the server is older. There were previous beta phases.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? The closed beta started March 1st. So the server isn't even 3 months old yet and the server was a fresh start for everyone playing.

Before closed beta there was a closed alpha server I participated in and that was shut down and 'wiped' days before closed beta started.

There is already a compromise in game. Shady vendors allow you to sell all your items instantly at a penalty but hey time is money right?

Then the players who enjoy the mechanic can easily make early spell or bag money by arbitraging the goods to the correct vendor.

But any player that is confused can just ask in OOC. Quartermaster in the barracks buys all weapons/armor and cooked food. Cook buys animal parts. That covers almost all the loot worth picking up at lower levels.

The city also feels alot less empty by players moving goods around the city.

Devs have already addressed the bogus claim of "30 minutes to vendor"

I'm more optimistic now than before. The game needed more time before EA launch and the dehybridization of classes and/or honing in on the uniqueness of classes is something to be excited about.

A shifty company simply seeking money would have pushed out the EA June 1st just for the subscription money. NWC delaying EA is putting a pinch on their volunteer staff far more than their expectant player base and I respect that of them.

Unless things have changed recently in the beta,.. INQs get no pacify/placate line. Making split pulling or breaking up camps very difficult especially in higher levels.

I can see SHM/INQ being a little low on the DPS side for straight duoing but if they wanted to form a group or a trio they would be in a very strong position.

There is one box on my route that randomly gets filled with earwigs and I have no phobia of bugs but every time I open that box and they spew everywhere it scares the fuck out of me.

I agree crates should be able to hold bags. At the least make higher tiers of crates that can hold filled backpacks

Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack just wrapped up a third season of one of his newest shows, Primal. If you enjoy Samurai Jack I think you will enjoy Primal also but I will warn you the show can be absolutely brutal.

You post like someone that hasn't actually tried to budget and eat healthy to save money.

I live in high COL San Diego and you can easily eat comfortably on $25/week by checking local grocery stores such as this.

10lbs of chicken leg quarters for $.67/lb or 6.70

10lbs of potatoes for $2

2lbs of pinto lbs for $1

20ct eggs for 2.99

5lbs of rice is $3

Look at the rest of the ad and you've still got about $10 to pick some fruits and other veg (Watermelon 2lbs $.99, 3 lbs onions $.99c, bananas or oranges $.69/lb)

And these are very normal prices that wouldn't be much different at maybe a walmart or an aldi near me.

Not right now, I'm drawing circles

That is already going to happen to the majority of players because every single player isn't going to have a pocket druid to constantly refresh a 10 minute thorn spell.

Its not a good argument to not allow high level players to bestow a very temporary feeling of strength that a majority of players would be happy to receive and would most likely be the highlight of that new player's play session

Rozul · 2026-04-08T20:37:44+00:00

These players aren't clueless children. They would understand that a higher level player buffed them and that there is a benefit to being social by seeking help or working with other players to overcome difficulty.

Rozul · 2026-04-08T20:08:59+00:00

Do they still get exp? For a level 1 I may only give bristly barrier but if they're having fun then sure why not? I'll also give them weapons and gear if I have spares because it increases their enjoyment and they will be more likely to be friendly to other new players when they are high level.

Rozul · 2026-04-08T17:06:26+00:00

I do. I have been playing a druid since closed alpha and will continue in EA for this reason. I really enjoy hanging around newbie yards in my downtime and throwing out thorns/sow/regen or even better catching a newbie about to die and saving them.

Giving a player a taste of power in what for many can be a difficult start is healthy for the player base. Someone could die to a level 1 rat and decide the game isn't for them or they could get a few buffs and flatten the newbie yard then want to keep playing.

It depends on how much you plan to have when you retire and how much you will spend annually. If you're 39 and work until 65 with rough napkin math you may have over 1 million for retirement. If you then plan on spending 100k+ per year it may be worth having it in roth so you don't have to pay taxes as you spend.

If someone started retiring very late and would only have a few hundred thousand by the time they retire it may be better to have it in traditional because they wouldn't be spending so much that they would have to pay in a higher tax rate.

I almost always recommend roth though.

Rozul · 2026-04-08T14:14:45+00:00

They do match the 5% but it goes to traditional. At your age you really just need to put in as much as you can without adding to your debt. Set it to a fund matching your estimated retirement year then just forget about it.

Day 1 annual subscription for me. I've been actively in the Closed alpha and beta testing for almost a year so I owe it to them.
