Like I'm all for DPS races. I love that shit. But if not allowed, then make it not allowed blatantly. Seems silly that everyone screams GM the second there is a mob dispute. You wanted friction, so allow friction. Tis EQ tradition to PVPVE. Otherwise just remove that friction.

There are a lot of us very happy we don't have to load up X emulator for X old game, ran by X person or group and then it all falling apart and the cycle restarting in another way. Support these devs!

Hey friends. I’ve seen a lot of frustration from players about the darkness, lack of maps, confusing quests, etc. Rather than tell you to “go back to WoW,” I wanted to share what finally made M&M click for me.

*** Actually look at the world. ***

My first few characters were frustrating because I kept looking for UI guidance instead of paying attention to landmarks. Eventually I started navigating like I would in real life: There’s the gate. There’s that weird building. The river is over there. Getting lost is almost part of learning the game.

Read quests like riddles, not instructions.

WoW trained me to skim for the objective. Here, the random mention of a waterfall might be the objective. Read carefully, look around, experiment with Look/Inspect/Take, and be curious. Figuring something out yourself is surprisingly satisfying.

Talk to people—even if you have no idea what you’re doing.

A lot of us have been trained by WoW to fear being the person who doesn’t know the optimal strategy. Chances are the stranger next to you is equally clueless. Try: “Hey, I’m pretty lost too. Want to group up for 15 minutes and see what we find?”

Set tiny goals.

Need a bag? Find the vendor, figure out the price, and go make the money. That little mission will naturally teach you the city, NPCs, enemies, and world.

Basically: stop waiting for the game to tell you what to do. Get curious.

You’re going to get lost. You’re going to misunderstand things. You’re going to waste time.

That’s not necessarily the game failing. That is the adventure.

And if that sounds miserable? Totally fair. The studio is literally called Niche Worlds Cult. This game is trying to be something specific, and it doesn’t have to be for everyone.

Played and loved the beta. One of the things I adored was having toons with different crafting options.

However, with the EA release I am struggling hardcore with money in the game. I have three characters all at level 10. One in Night Harbor, one in the Underdocks, and one in Elf lands.

I consistently am broke and can’t afford anything. Like can’t buy my spells, can’t afford to craft, can barely afford to buy food and drink at the rate I go through it.

Anyone else in this boat? Anyone got any good farms for cash? I am terrified to get level 12 on either of my casters cause there is absolutely no way I can afford that round of spells.

However are people crafting? The new recipes and requirements for those recipes are sooooooo expensive. What am I missing?

I feel like its always night or at least its night 90% of the time. I dont think i have ever logged in randomly and the sun was shining lolz

I have played the majority of MMOs including to many years of Everquest and in no universe have I experienced the degree of trying to play a spell caster especially a spell caster tank that just gets chain interrupted like this. I played this game in the alpha pre 2026 and got a Shadow Knight to 45 and do not remember it being like this. Is this a bug? Is this intended? Like I understand as a spell caster we are meant to get interrupted but every other cast I am interrupted and it can go as long as chain interrupting me five casts in a row. Like if this is intended could we get some kinda interrupted diminishing return so its not the worst interrupted system in the whole world? Inb4 channeling I am currently a lvl22 Shadow Knight with 110/110 channeling.

I feel this is gaining a lot of traction, first saw people in the beta suggesting it and a few parties had heard of it.

Genius idea imo, should be standard in every party!

I got a subscription day 1, haven’t played one second yet until tonight.

I’m going in blind.
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR TIPS! I know there’s a ‘Hail’ thing but WHY.

Anything is appreciated THANK YOU!!

I got all hyped I got level 10 and dual wield today. instantly tried to solo thinking it would be a massive power spike.

I died to white mob. back to level 9. Lost my level 2 stab and dual wield. On my way back to my body I got ganked by like 4 invisible ashira and died again.

It was painful. But I’m now back to level 10 with dual wield again. Moral of the story. Rogue still can’t solo.

I've spent a few hours in this zone leveling and just recently experienced my first sand storm. I couldn't see a thing. Somehow found a lost group hunkered down around a tree. The chat was going crazy and laughs were had. What an experience lol.
