    I’m a pledged founder for the past 1-2 years. Game has a long way to go but as other comments mentioned is about as close to the classic EverQuest experience as you can find these days (even compared to EQ live today).

    Keep in mind you’d still be testing. Lots of things come and go, things change all the time, character wipes (while uncommon) happen. Bugs resurface and hit at the worst times. I took most of the summer off to vacation but in the spring of 2024 there was barely enough content to cover up to level 35. Seems to have grown quite a bit but I wouldn’t expect there to be any end game content or raiding or anything like that yet. Jewelry crafting profession was present in some form in PA back in the spring but it is lacking from EA so far. Things like that.

    That all being said, as someone who’s followed Pantheon for nearly 10 years, they’ve probably made more progress in the past 1 year than the prior 9 combined. Casual gamers will find more than enough but hardcore not so much.

    I am excited for you, I was hooked on DCC and left feeling so lost when I finished. The audiobooks are worth a listen, it’s more of an auditory cinematic than just an audiobook. I got very used to that being the norm that I’m now struggling with regular narration, same actor doing all voices, no sound effects etc.

    I thankfully found the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson shortly after from another post on Lemmy. Not quite as cinematic but loving R.C. Bray’s performance and the series as a whole.

    Finished 6th Dungeon Crawler Carl (haven’t started 7th yet) then started Expeditionary Force. Currently on book 16, with 17 having dropped recently, then I’ll cycle back for DCC 7 Faction Wars. Then I’ll be lost again haha.

    After spending quite some time troubleshooting years ago, I chopped up the odd NFS disconnection once every month or two to random network errors. Autofs looks like it’ll work but my bandaid solution was just to add a mount command to the NFS share in cron every 5 minutes. Took me 15 seconds and haven’t had to look at it since.

    This speaks to my soul so much. I started at a non profit 2 years ago and it pains me how much the company spends on Oracle and docker now and no one does anything about it. So much of our infrastructure is built to rely on these things that we can’t just do without them when they do crazy shit like this. And Oracle and docker can afford to do this as long as a few cash cows hang on like us. Hostage is the worst and best description.

    Quite the contrary, I’d redo the tests for RED or OPS in a heartbeat. The fact that require potential invitees to put forth a bit of effort to join generally weeds out the people who aren’t going to put in the effort to maintain their account or ratio.

    Spent maybe 1 hour reading the training material for both sites. Passed OPS first time, RED second. Maintaining a good standing on either will generally be enough to get you into anything else.

    I was a denier for a few years too until I just sucked it up and made an attempt. Couldn’t pay me enough to switch back now.
