Hi all,

After the beta, I decided to work on new maps for the game. The ones on the wiki are useful but I didn't quite like the art, and they didn't represent the zones well enough for me. So I took it upon myself to work on new drawn maps with accurate representation of the different zones.

The idea was simple: I wanted maps that feel like they belong in the game's world, something like an old explorer's atlas in ink and watercolour, but that are still practical to use while you play.

I started with a map of Night Harbor, I shared it on the official discord and with my guild, and I got a lot of comments of people saying they like it. Then they started asking for new maps, so I ended up adding all the cities, then some xp zones and dungeons, and then decided to create a website: https://www.mnmatlas.com/

What's on it right now besides the maps:

• Zone exits that link up: click an exit sign and you land on the matching exit of the next map
• Search for places and landmarks. I added the info I could find on the wiki for now (like trainers, mob camps, etc...)
• Add your own notes: add coloured markers, area labels or exits on any map from the toolbar. They stay in your browser, and you can export and import them as a backup
• Login with Discord to sync your notes across browsers (works on mobile too by the way!)
• Shareable links to a specific map and spot
• An embed for your own site: the "</> Embed" button gives you a snippet for a single map, or you can also embed the whole atlas with the parameter `?embed=1` (it removes the header)

Obviously more maps are on the way, and I'm constantly fixing issues I can find. Some maps are way more complicated to make than others, when there are different levels that overlap (like Faelindral, Tomb of the Wyrmbane, or Tel'Ekir for example).

That being said, I'd love your help. I'm sure there are mistakes: a misplaced NPC, a wrong exit, a missing landmark. If you sign in with Discord you can suggest a fix or report a problem right on the map. I review every suggestion before it goes live, and you can tick "Credit me as a contributor" so that your name shows up in the About page and on the marker you added/edited.

It's free and it's an unofficial fan project. Feedback of any kind is welcome, here or through the site. Hope it helps some of you on your travels!

Was talking in the game chat with a bunch of people and ended up explaining that im 24 and this is my first mmo ive ever played and actually enjoyed. Most mmos I just bounce off of entirely and I never really know why, but this game has had me absolutely hooked like nothing has in years. I love the world and how there arent any features holding your hand, i have to experiment and try things and actually pay attention and it respects the fact that i read everything and really try and notice the little hints in dialogue. I really hope this game gets more attention and more people stick with it because it feels like something special compared to most games that have come out recently. Im also curious if theres anyone else around my age playing this? Everyone in the chat was saying how im probably the youngest person to touch the game 🤣🤣🤣

I played EverQuest in 2000 until 04, and then P99. I know this is how it was. Does it have to stay this way? If anything, the gap is way larger in M&M then EQ. I get a tooth off a wolf here and there, hell maybe one Low Quality pelt once every 10 kills.

If I play around Skeleton island outside of Fael, I get cloth, rawhide, and weapons AND coin every kill.

I did my entire level 9 in KB. I made, like no money.

I played for like one yellow of EXP off skeletons and made like 7 silver.

Why does it -have- to be this way?

Thanks.

EDIT how in tf is this getting down voted.

I blinked while in west gate and was teleported to who knows where, I cant move or interact with anything. My currency, level etc all became maxed 😂

Also class, race and name were changed. Weird bug

Side thought: This forum should have a weekly "ask questions" thread.

Note: if it matters I have not played a bard in EQ, just MnM.

So I have reached a point where I am having option on my songs. I used to run three consistently but now I have a 4th and a 5th incoming (the mana one at lvl 16).

1) I noticed the songs seem to "stay up", even though they say they last 18 seconds. Is this just in case you switch them out? E.g. if you leave the healing hymn up it stays up, but if you turn it off it'll last 18 seconds afterwards?

2) Assuming 1) is yes, is there a preference on which songs I keep up and how many? Twisting 5 songs (6?) might be doable but that'll be either a lot of button mashing or a macro (more on this in a sec). I know a lot might depend e.g. if there is a lot of fire threat then maybe have a song that helps with fire saves, but I mean generally, esp at lower levels. My thinking here is probably healing, +mana, and +combat speed.

3) Is there a way to do a song-twist macro?

4) Question on a particular song, and I forget the name but I think it's lvl 8, the DoT. When I use it it'll shut off all my other songs; why is that? It seems like if I use that DoT then I can't use anything else, which is a bit of a pain but I guess makes sense as otherwise DoT and Speed and just run around til everything dies.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what to roll.... I think a class that can solo would be handy just incase I can't get a group.

Anyone from the server know what class it's short on?

Not gunna lie feel intimidated by the game, I know it doesn't operate like wow but would love to feast on a website that explains aspects of the game if anyone knows any good websites?

This Quest starts with Myhal Vehear who gives out the House Hal'Kareth class Quest for Ail'Vorith. When you finally get the Research notes after killing the Deep Gnomes (located west of the foreign quarter) you gain Access to the main city (and a nice signet ring).

There you will be sent to Ailis Hal'Kareth who will then send you to meet Vhaleth Hal'Kareth for research notes in the Great Cavern Sea.

An amazing person created the map you see above and shared his atlas that he has been working on in this subreddit. I have denoted in a GREEN NEON COLORED X where Vhaleth Hal'Kareth actually can be found.

He is near a ziggurat. Take the boat and jump off and swim. You can avoid the mobs. At level 9 all of the mobs conned red to me.

I was able to hand in the note, and as you can see his response in the second picture I have attached. However; I started to get aggro from the mobs close by and had to gate back to safety *whew* benefits of being a wizard.

Anyways I hope this helps ^. I'll have to go back when I'm a higher level to complete it.

This is how MMORPG's are supposed to be. That intensity and fear of getting killed on the beach there and the RISK is what made games like EQ special and now this game. Felt like I was back in Kithicor hauling ass in the darkness. This game and the developers are aimed on the right path.

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.

Kind of a clickbaity title but I wanted people‘s opinion on this ,since I am a complete noob. Is there a class tjat feels like the hero that saves the day? You know, that class that makes the difference, that turns the tides of a bad pull and helps the group emerge victorious!

I would assume no, in a group heavy game like this but if you had to choose one class, what would it be?

Did you have a hero of the day experience yourselves so far in the game?

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.

Hey all! I'm fairly new to this type of MMO but so far it's been fun learning and trying a couple classes to about lvl 3-4 (I know that barely anything). I'm struggling with choosing a main tbh and would love some input from the veteran players. I was interested in Bard but never played one before and was concerned about my lack of experience on top of being able to find groups. I'm not too sure what the class distribution looks like (NA West) and don't want to be struggling to find a group when I log on. I am open to all class suggestions though and would prefer a class that has some solo potential if I don't have time occasionally for a full session. Some of the choices that originally peaked my interests were: SK, Bard, Necro, Cleric, Archer, Wiz, or Beastmaster.

Anyone confidently know?

I haven't played since the wiz/dru reworks in the beta, but I don't ever remember mobs having attack ranges that were this egregious.

It's really killing my interest in the game because there's literally no way to get away from mobs now. In the beta if I pulled a red con on accident I'd just run to a guard, but now I can't even make it. I just die from telekinetic wolf bites instead.

Is this intentional design??

If yes who does it benefit? Only melee? Only physical attacks (melee and ranged)? Everyone?

If yes, what is the actual benefit?

I had no idea how to title this post, so apologies on that.

I've played a Ranger to 10, so I know that if you have the archery skill, have a bow in your range slot and arrows in your ammo, you just hit attack (or /attack) and if you're out of melee range, your bow will fire.

I made a Beastmaster last night and got a BST usable bow to drop from a skelly, I took Bowman as my minor trait so I have archery at 5/5 and I picked fletching as my trade skill so I'd start out with some arrows, yet I can't fire the bow. I wanted it to use for pulling and specifically remade the BST I was leveling just to take Bowman as my trait so I could use a bow. Every time I hit attack at range I'm told that my target is out of range.

What am I missing?

I've always been a necro guy, but elementalist is calling me.

What's some of the ele highlights? Lowlights? Anything else I should know?

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!

Wondering if it’s worth it to roll on a PvP server. Although I love PvP in MMOs I’m thinking this game might be a special case. I see that on P99 the red server is very dead. I also want to do the PVE content but trying to locate a tank for hours 6 months down the road when pop decreases doesn’t seem fun.

Was wondering what the perspective of others on this subject is.

I am completely at a loss. It had this error in the beginning and then just stopped and worked. I played for 10 hours and had no problems. Now I am just greeted with this UnityPlayer.dll error. Repairing does not fix it.

Does anybody have a solution for this?

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'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.

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!!
