This is all just my perspective. I’m not tagging anyone on it, feel free to ignore it, I do not expect (nor am I asking for) anything to change as a result of me typing this - my only goal is to give feedback because the server is in testing and pointing out what I see working (and not working) is part of testing to my mind.

A perspective after two weeks playing on the server.

Yep, it's been two weeks, and I've played a variety of alts.

I was really intrigued about the 'Rebuild' take on an Everquest server and drawn in by the 'make EQ fun again' proposition. I've found the reality of it to be a bit of a mixed bag, both bad and good. Some 'rebuilds' make a marked positive improvement to the classic experience. Other changes, to my mind, fundamentally change the gameplay for the worse.

First, the good:

Last active January 30, 2018 20:45 — forked from mbabaian/practice.py
The python program only publishes the first item in the query. I'd like to iterate through all items and publish them to HTML but can't figure out how.
# Practicing call to DPLA and getting data from it, then displaying results via html
import webbrowser
from operator import itemgetter
import requests
f=open('result.html', 'w')
# Make an api call and store the response.
