I’d come back for something like this!Yes, please. I've had the EQ itch lately and checking EQemu to see SoD consistently below 50 pop is a real bummer. Shards of Dalaya REBORN (or whatever) would be rad AF. Get that new server smell, some of the old bands back together again, and maybe some new blood. People bored with P1999 would be a good target audience.
If you have adept devs on board, might I humbly suggest a relaxed unlock schedule for planes, Ikisith, etc... and, [inhales], instanced content? As much as I want poopsockers to be waving their T20 epeens around by week 7, maybe things a little more conducive to the grown-up schedules most of us old EQ-loving farts live would be good, yeah?
I mean, if it ever happens, which it probably sadly will not. Such wasted potential.
Yes but looks like some guilds are on summer hours so this is one night a weekI only really watch the status of SoD from the forums. I don't go on the discord or in game. From the outside, it looks pretty dead. Does the # of players logged in during the euro/est raid times still hit over 100 people? I do recall even during the large slumps in the past, there was there quite of a bit of activity in game.

You mean like if one decides to hold a game hostage and ruin hundreds of peoples' fun?We just need to find someone who is friends with jumbers so we can bribe him to give the keys to someone else. But really, this is why you should always have at least 2 admins - as a backup in case something happens with the other one.
SolA very much is a castle. Has a moat of fire, a gate, and a tower. Maybe if you weren't carried your entire life you would visit the amazing zone known as SolAthe game is struggling because this unreadable low effort shit is still the forum header, bruh i brought this up in like 2009 and nobody's fixed it. its actually awful how did it win the forum theme contest oh because they sloppily layered wiz's moose avatar inside a castle window when there are like zero castles in the game very nice cool innovative

I understand a lot goes on behind the scenes that we don’t get to see. Backend server support is as important as content development, but sometimes letting others help run the server and keep it going in an upward trajectory is a good thing. I don’t even know if Cole wants to be more involved, but I know he (and others!) have put in hundreds if not thousands of hours of volunteer time to make Dalaya a special place. Be tangentially involved, be a resource, etc. Letting someone else take the head doesn’t mean you don’t have to give up what has been built.
well yeah but eldenal's mansionWait... Mistmoore literally has "castle" in the zone name.
well yeah but eldenal's mansion
also sola is rsm and rsm is nappy and boring unless your name is otcho and you are parked there killing mobs for 8 years
also none of it matters because i dont care about the castles, it was a joke but the serious part was the banner that contains low effort text that could literally be fixed with 1px stroke to make it 50x better
also i carry myself
also sabota, gregar and ochah are still nappy in 2023
THIS MATTERS ITS SO BAD WHAT IS THIS GRADIENT ON THE TEXTIT MATTERS. It's time to take life seriously sabota
