    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I talked to a lot of people just doing tradeskills and the chat is currently a nightmare. Especially with people who are used to modern chat and don't factor in easy to remember, spell, and type names when naming their character. My characters that I expected tells on were two syllables or less...

    Pluribus

    She needs to be various levels of unlikeable to get people to sympathize more with how "great" the hive mind might be. Then they will slowly pull back the curtain, like @TJT says, and during that time she becomes more relatable to a wider audience.

    Keyboards & Mice

    I think I used the Logitech G600 for 15+ years of WoW and it worked great (2 mice over that time period). If anything, the ring finger button was the most uncomfortable part of it and for normal games the thumb buttons could cause a bit of hand fatigue on the thumb (after 6+ hour gaming...

    Could be China's Spacesail network that they are launching to compete with Starlink (or to try to force their internet rules on more people). https://spacenews.com/china-resumes-launches-for-thousand-sails-constellation-cas-space-launches-new-international-payload/

    Pluribus

    I've given his work numerous chances, including Watchmen, and they go from mediocre to horrible. So yeah, pretty much written his projects off as not my thing. This show, on the other hand, looks to be traveling into the Vince Gilligan can do no wrong territory (although, yeah, it's way too...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    unfortunate While I like having control over my own hardware, I would certainly look into switching to SteamOS if they release it for general use (hopefully before windows 10 stops getting security updates). Otherwise I will probably stay on Win10 for another decade. I play too many old games...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Tradeskills: You can skill up on failed combines on tradeskills last I leveled up tradeskills (last long test). I think they only changed gathering profs to make no skill up per fail, as I am pretty sure someone told me they skilled up JC using the wire trick this test (manually put in the next...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I meant in EQ during Velious, but Wizards in MnM get the best/most ports (or so I have been told), so yeah, it's much easier to explore everything in this game too. For Vale in particular you need see invis up.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Being one of the first people, at least on the server, to see WW is still a core gaming memory (even if I wasn't a raider and never saw NToV during Velious). A sneaky druid with egress could bypass a lot of the roadblocks, so was able to access every outdoor zone before even starting the xpac...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You could still use old flying but still required getting the achievement half way through the xpac, right?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What did they change about dragonriding/new flying? In the Dragonfurryfucker xpac it was great and much faster than old flying.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    That $80 a year has to be some deal they had going on. It was $10 a month years ago when they force added it to the Hulu Live subscription for "free" then months later jacked the price of Hulu by $10.

    Make a mule on a second account and stock it with molds! Start as a LW/Tailor/Chanter/Survivalist for 1 free 6 slot bag, then go see shady gnome for a second.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    That's not really a vendor issue though! There is a forge next to the woodworkers area in the docks, just to the east of the portal from north gate to the docks. Don't remember the vendor situation there though.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    As a crafter, I like the system, but yeah, it could be a little closer together. I haven't used the north side of town often but there looks to be a good cluster right by the gate. For the West bank area, the Night Market area could use a proper cook and an "armor" merchant, since leather is so...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The vendor thing takes some getting used to, but I have found the system rather useful for farming items off the vendors. If I want cloth scraps, I just need to go look at the two vendors who buy them, not 100 different vendors across the city. I remember vendor farming in EQ too, so it's an...

    Everything medium and below fits in the Tailoring/LW/Enchanting bags. This includes the ones off the vendors and the ones they give if you pick the minor trait.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Is the survival starter bag bigger than the 6 slots medium size bags that Tailor/LW/Enchanting get? All my mules started with one of those instead.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I guess there are ways to probably get around most detection tech but how would they not constantly get reported if they were shitting up multi day respawn boss kills. A halfway decent moderation effort should take care of it? The amount of money people are willing to spend on it defies my...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I'm interested to hear how, if they can enforce it well enough, a no-box server combats the multi-box sociopaths that take pleasure from that or if there are enough of them that it wont matter as they will just form a huge guild to do it.

    Are you on Krivea and want to go level up mining? I could make you something, but I'm out of some mats.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It may depend on if vendors got wiped or still have old stock. Since enchanting a bar of ore to make any JC item now requires dust from a dropped magic item (implemented after the last 10 day test), I don't see too many people being able to make much jewelry just to vendor.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you want something that looks a bit better than masking tape, I might recommend buying a roll of gaffers tape. It's a matte low residue cloth-like tape. If I'm remembering right, it was developed to be a low residue replacement for duct tape being used in TV & movie stage/audio productions...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Patch notes just went up on Discord. Bit disappointed in no new ore to go hunt, so kinda out of tradeskills to level up without spending days grinding shit to actually level up. Supposedly there is corroded mithril chain/plate dropping for people over level 50 and though about trying to find...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yarp, it similar to the PvP griefer discussion that was had some pages back. Degenerate autists want to force everyone into degenerate autist gameplay so they can feel some sense of superiority. Always seen the degenerate PvP players as the epitome of that mindset. While I didn't raid in EQ due...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It's amazing how ugly some new interiors are getting; that dash is atrocious, in multiple ways. Not sure how I feel about the center console, as it looks like most of the buttons at least have some tactile feel to them? Small aside (since I really like HUDs in vehicles): that's just an...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like playing these free betas to see various games I'm not going to play. I put in as many hours as I can to get my fill of the game, then once it goes live, never look back. Done this with many games, from Shadowbane to New World. As for why I wouldn't pay to play this, it's pretty simple...

    Throwing out an alternative: You can build your own high end quality bookshelf speakers for around half the price of an equal quality store bought (or at least you could, when I did ~8 years ago). Then you get a small two channel amp for them. I built these for around $200, but the same guy has...

    The Alpha is closed? I thought it was the same build as the public test servers and they have been running multi day tests on them rather often.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They already stated on the FAQ (or some place on the website/Disco) that there will be at least 3 servers at the start of EA: 1 multi-box, 1 single-box, and 1 PvP.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    That's the appeal of the no-box server(s). It will take a full raid of sweaty autists to cock block you instead of just 3 or 4 super sweaties. THJ (and probably numerous other EMUs) had an auto multi-box detector, so I'm sure MnM will probably have something similar as the first line of defense.

Whereas, if any of us make it to the 2061 viewing, it will be much closer, on the same side of the sun as the earth will be on, getting...

    12 boxing? If you get into the alpha/beta do you get to make multiple accounts or are people stalking the give-aways and gobbling them all up? I would at least think about trying to get a alpha/beta key if I could two box (any more than that seems annoying), but not going to try to take two...

    If you actually want a reclining desk, there are a plethora of them to take ideas from (with pro premades with a big money cost (Ergoquest) to DYI).

    I don't recline in mine. I don't even like the foot rest up because it locks the chair and tilts it back too far. So I use a rolling ottoman instead. While sitting up, using the keyboard for gaming is easy enough with it sitting on the left arm of the chair and I made a custom leather mouse...
