    Even though the Halfling Rangers start off with limited crafting trainers, I think it was still the best place to be this test. There was no lag and not much of a crowd, really, when compared to my one visit to the Human area, which was stripped clear of mobs and chugging hard due to all the...

    When I worked at the alcohol store in college the explanation they gave was that the high end alcohol have better quality control for impurities, which translate into into a less severe hangover. At least up to a point and depending on the type. It is supposedly most noticeable in rum, brandy...

    Only one I know if assling Bard has a bone turn in that gives 1s but no xp. The Hemp/Cotton/Gnoll Eye are best bet, and I think they are all in the Human city. I guess it depends on what you want out of it. EQ is so far in my past that 1 weekend every 4 to 6 months was all I needed for a...

    On one hand I kinda agree but, on the other, I hate live service game companies and hope every single person in management stubs their toe on a daily basis.

    Just like this (in CA), even in solid looking houses there can be deterioration in the foundation wall, so it doesn't take much water to push it off. Different crawl space: This CA company uploads pictures of shit they see out there, to get an idea of how large sections of the US build, when...

    Civil war and hyperinflation stemming from the military coup in 2021. The military junta government has been accused of genocidal tendencies on their minority Muslim population. I thought they had a bunch of sanctions of them already, so tariffs are a bit surprising.

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Yeah, I think the game overall is faster than the vanilla EQ I remember, but that was a long time ago, I was a kid, and everything was new. So I was slower than most (probably). In the last alpha I focused on cloth and it started to get slower once I got over 100 (or maybe 150?). I had to start...

    Not essential at all. It's like vanilla EQ, in that the game moves slow enough that tradeskills are a nice little boost for people that like tradeskills, but they are probably a net loss for XP/hour. I like doing it as something different than the mob grind, just like running back and forth...

    I think bard may be the last class to be unlocked, so a lot of people probably mucking about with them. Also, yeah, just like EQ there are a handful of noob quests that have repeatable turn-ins that you can do to boost XP; a few of them offer 1 or 2 copper more than they cost when buying them...

    I know absolutely nothing about this comic(?), nor anything about the quality of any of the people cast in it; so the casting doesn't look that bad since it's set in the future. Outside of the hair she is far from the ugliest woman in current Hollywood and the only better looking black woman...

    The stigma has become more of a running joke than anything else for people. An easy thing to bust balls over for the dads at the sporting events.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    It wasn't about vanilla hide/sneak. You got access to 75%(?) of the AA up to like the 10th Xpac, at level 1 (the rest were unlocked by or at 60). They gave each class some AA in order to smooth out the leveling and make them more appealing to pick. Some classes like rogues and bards got the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Oh, lol. I get all the BMW model numbers mixed up and have to look them up every time they are brought up. So I only looked up a picture of a 2025 M2 and saw that it looked nice. I remember people saying they kept a few models with the classic-ish style, but I was thinking that was just the Z.

    Ah, no idea. I took both your posts together as "no, how is it actually possible to get around Truebox." I've never played Daybreak's EQ, so don't even know what Truebox is exactly, just that (using context) it is obviously an automated multibox detection & prevention.

    There are ways to get around automated detection, like using a VPN to set up multiple computers or sandboxes. All depends on how much the botter or whale wants to spend.

    After not using a controller for long enough, it's hard to marathon a game for as long of a time with it. So if there is something like a gaming weekend planned, ones hands can get fatigued faster than the rest of the body. Not to mention needing to buy a controller for 1 game every 5 years or...

    I didn't hate last season, like a lot of people here seemed to, but this season is certainly sounding worse; making for zero motivation to start it up. I agree that it doesn't look like they had any idea what to really do after season 1 where it didn't get soap opera-e, cliché, or have it look...

    I haven't used a controller in 10+ years. I'm also not a huge fanboy for the game or the action/rpg-lite genre, but it was worth the time/money. I'd rate it on par with GTA5 and played it as such, where I skipped most of the busy work and focused on the story based missions. It has branching...

    I ended up going back and playing the first game (Distant Worlds: Universe) with THIS mod instead. Now that you bumped this thread, reminding me it exists, and it's been some years, I was thinking of trying 2 again. Both of them are fairly different than Stellaris. The first game had 2 or 3...

    Correct, pick any 3 classes and get everything they get, including up to 3 pets/dire charms and a bunch of AA that are not xpac locked. Gear has uber stats w/ quality levels and XP is boosted. They even put in a catch-up mechanic for AA xp to level up alts faster. An almost perfect solo EQ...

    Yeah, I would never have played THJ if it cost money, there are too many other "new" games to play, if I am going to spend money (I haven't spent money on an MMO in ~10 years). If I want nostalgia, I can go play a plethora of old games I already own for free.

    I would guess THJ will still be up for a month or more(?) while it gets processed through the courts, as the legal system isn't known for it's speed. So there is probably time to play through the Xpacs up to PoP. Disclaimer: I've never payed attention to EMUs before, so maybe shit will move...
