Hi everyone!
I'm Redbeardflynn (He/Him)
On this channel you will find new, video essays, first impressions and more on MMOs, Multiplayer games, and RPGs. Essentially if it's an MMORPG or tied to part of that title like an RPG or a Multiplayer Online Game, it's going to be covered on this channel.
I got my start with MMOs with Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest 2, and World of Warcraft but have spent many years searching for new homes in the space. For RPGs, games like Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, and even Diablo left an indelible mark on me.
I write books, too! So if you're interested in writing you can find my second channel here: ua-cam.com/channels/PUuN1cUwQDgJYOdC8Uvccg.html

Ironically the best MMO "Launch" this year...
Everquest 2 has outdone themselves in a way I didn't expect.
They have somehow made me extremely excited to play Everquest 2, a game released in 2004...in 2024. After 20 years in World of Warcraft's Shadow Everquest 2 has gone and done something pretty incredible with their Everquest 2 Origins server by once again copying World of Warcraft...but in the best way possible. It's not quite Age of Discovery or P99 for Everquest, but Everquest 2's Origin Server does an even better job of re-creating the classic experience of EQ2 and it does something really special: it provides a middle ground in this version for players who are looking for a group focused social game as well as a game with bountiful quests and Quality of life, just like WoW.
Everquest 2's Origin Server may well be the best MMORPG "Launch" of this year with the dissapointments surrounding other higher profile games.
Jump in today and give it a try, you may be surprised to find you enjoy Everquest 2, whether you've played it before or not.

With Fippy Fest we capped off what has been 6 months full of information for Everquest starting with several QAs for both Everquest and Everquest 2 as well as a big Panel at Pax East.

NEW MMO Corepunk: First Impressions
Переглядів 5 тис.21 день тому
Corepunk is an MMO I've been excited about and I got to test it first hand for the first time with their recent Alpha 2 test. I came into the test hoping to find at least the bones of a game that would be a lot of fun, but some design decisions that are questionable at best (ridiculously slow combat that feels basic, no passive regen, over-reliance on consumables, AI voice acting...etc.) Have f...

Games nowday are trash.
Not logged on in over a year, Should I come back.
Devs really pulled the school yard "im taking back my ball" move. Pretty sure afterwards they investigated and didnt find any actual evidence of cheating. Which should have been apparent cuz if they did, they would have just banned that cheater not reset the boss.
Was this The Faliday massacre?
Nope, that one is here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsLxEPqvvzMIg?si=WK9WN6rX5NbTOmJV
ESO isnt an mmo, its a huge and incredible single player game with a little pieces of "mmo" and i REALLY love it. Its 9 points game if u wanna a single player game but with the chance to play online and do real pvp. If u come to eso looking for a "wow/l2" game ur wrong. PD: u play 10 years the same mmo and now u say its not ur game... so idk rick...
First, I'm glad you enjoy it so much. That's important to point out because these are all just opinions, all reviews are. Yours is no less valid than mine. Second, until eso is marketed as a single player game, it'll have to be review in the context of being an mmo. If it was single player I think it'd be awesome. Probably still wouldn't like the combat and probably still would thing one tamirel robbed me of a sense of rpg progression but at rhe very least I wouldn't be comparing it against other mmos and instead reviewing it as a solo experience. Cheers, I'm glad you enjoy it so much and hope you continue to!
If they would of added more PVP maps or content maybe fixing the lag or balance the classes thats why I left after 1000 hours
Old people forgot to unsub 😂😂😂
They don't have people to make Everquest next all they do is maintenance
I signed up just today and can’t find skeletons in Innothule Swamp. Found two over two and a half hours. 😣
lol you look like you weren't even born when this launched , yet you played ultima, u a vampire?
Haha that may be one of the nicest things someone's said. I am adverse to sunlight....
i don't get the issue tho, an mmo can be an action rpg, look at pso2, or black desert
But they market themselves as mmos. They don't market as an mmo then years later as they're failing say "so we aren't an mmo were an action rpg" BDO literally calls itself a world class mmorpg first and foremost. But the issue is more than that: mmo pc players were promised content, they're barely getting any and instead getting a rebrand and console launch
10 rounds, i got 49,842 pts
Dang! That's awesome, well done.
Everquest 1 was my first mmo 😢
There's two commands you can type in-game which really improve the environments and make them MUCH closer to the beauty of LOTRO, rather than the sparse ground of default EQ2. BTW, Feel free to make your own video giving this PSA for EQ2. I bet it would be good clickbait to be like "What if I told you that you could go from THIS [screenshot] to THIS [significantly better screenshot]? No credit needed. This is not my tip, but the community's. ------------ "/r_flora_radius_scale #" "/r_flora_density_scale #" I set mine to 2 & 3. So in chat, I type "/r_flora_radius_scale 2" "/r_flora_density_scale 3" I prefer 14 density, but 3 is about as high as I can go without the grass billboards changing too much. But if you don't mind that, set it as high as you want. I tested these numbers in Queen's Colony. The difference is an ugly game environment transforming into a beautiful LOTRO-like environment, just going to density 3. I received no performance drop even when I set it as high as 20 on density. Radius is the distance from your character the Flora spawns. Density is how thick the Flora is. This setting transcends the options slider, which maxes out way too low. Also worth noting to people: Oldschool Tip: Set Anisotropic filtering (AF) to x16 in your NVIDIA/AMD control panel. This has always drastically improved texture clarity for EQ2. This option does not exist in the game's menu, so must be done in the Graphics Card control panel on your PC. New Tip: In 2023, the devs added a Hardware option for newer Intel CPU's. If you have a 11th, 12th, 13th, or any CPU that uses E-Cores, you need to goto OPTIONS->HARDWARE and set that option's number to much lower. I have 6 physical cores (12 theads) and 4 e-cores, so I set mine to 11 (0 counts as 1, so 11 = 12). This gives a 50% boost to FPS. Also just to note, I have found disabling E-Cores to improve other classic games. I gained a 20fps boostin LOTRO by going into my bios to disable E-Cores entirely, because it lacks this EQ2 option. However you don't need to do that with EQ2 bc they added this feature, which is great!
Sending demons after an entire population for killing a man named Lord British is probably the most British thing they could have done.
I quit after lacklin.
If they don't add "bonds" it will be good
beyond fun when i played when the game was new, i really hope they can haul this game back or at least get someone to do so
I remember this the whole guild was banned. It was big deal in eq
spell effect are trash lmao. Playing Origin and its ok. ff11 was my first mmo and will always be the best to me nothing compares.
I would play it if the subscription was localized, $20 is very expensive for me.
I may jump into the legacy server. And I think I do it completely blind.
WoW hardcore player here looking for something else, subbed earlier to try this out and having a blast with my friend! Rolled a paladin (my main in every mmo) and he rolled a fury
Cope
They are full of shit when they say most people play at max level in current content. I'd love to see data of minutes played per server over a month period of time. I guarantee their TLP's have the most people on them. I've been on Luclin and Ragefire and others, to a one they are ghost towns, and in some instances /who all showed me as the lone person on the server at the time.
This is an excellent video! Amazon is so confused about this… it’s a giant disaster
Remeber hearing about it, they were cheating by using an exploit to not be targeted.
