    The E-cig Thread

    I was finding that it was hard to pick up e-cigs because they made me cough a lot. My local store started stocking 100% VG based juice and as soon as I started using that all of my problems vanished. About 1 in 20 people have some level of intolerance to Propyl Glycol

    EQ Never

    Just reminiscing, way back when I had a Barbie Shaman and at 9 or 14 or whenever it was you got SoW I made a few coppers running a Caravan between Qeynos and Freeport, you could shout outside the gates of the city and have a gaggle of half naked newbs lined up for the long scary run pretty...

    EQ Never

    I like the unlock solution mostly. It should be more than just arrive a place and unlock it, some sort of attunement that comes with being in the place doing shit for some time? Who knows. I do log into EQ every now and again and hoof it across the continents just to see the sites. Bards...

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    That thing about not being a valid target, then getting back onto the rampage list sounds about right - honestly don't remember anymore. According to wikipedia, Planes of Power was 12 years ago.

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    That's kind of how we dealt with it, if a Bard pulled they would get the mob back to the Raid and get sacrificed for the greater good (or perhaps get out of range and go mana feed). Tank would tank via normal agro mechanics and we'd generally have either a War or Knight ping the thing with an...

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    I never figured that out, I think Fading Memories would remove the Bard from the first in the agro list and the rampage tank would get themself in the third place. As soon as the Bard dropped the mob on the raid and switched to wide area buffs, they slotted back into that empty spot and got...

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    I was a Shaman in EQ and tanked a lot with slow, dots and the dogdot, skipped out for a while and in Velious/Luclin to play a monk for a bit. Around that time they launched Kane Bayle I think, and I respun as a SK and learnt about how snare mechanics worked with Feign, mostly in SolA/B solo. A...

    The E-cig Thread

    FWIW, this class of product enabled me to break my addiction to cigarettes. I'm still basically addicted to Nicotine and my behavioral patterns haven't changed greatly, however i'm not stinking the place out, causing so much harm to those nearby or to myself. This was a very easy transition to...

    The E-cig Thread

    This is a fairly balanced report from ASH, the UK organisation aimed at reducing Tobacco usage and harm. http://www.ash.org.uk/files/documents/ASH_715.pdf TL;DR - it's best not to use nicotine products, e-cigs are less harmful than tobacco.

    MMO Glitches / Sploits

    Long time lurker... I was a Bard during Luclin / PoP era EQ and the entire class was a Glitch / Exploit / Carpal tunnel inducing and basically a lot of work to play. In Griegs End (I think) there was some midrange boss behind a locked door. I'd push right into it, and use my Singing Steel...
