i can’t play today but I set it up this morning before I left. Poked my head in a few times and I agree. It’s fucking nuts. I’m struggling to get it to use certain discs properly and all that, but total nitpick, in general it is insane. i wouldn’t recommend setting it up in complex dungeons...

Downloading and trying to set it all up now. I'll try to use the same name "Rangoth" once in. There a guild or anyone that can give me a leg up starting?

I don't really "bet" on it :) I just sell some fairly OTM covered calls on my IBIT position. Like I said it's an extra 1-2% per year and I wouldn't even be terribly sad if I got exercised as I would just wheel it and sell a PUT to get back in. I chose to roll this time because it moved so fast...

Ouch, when BTC moves it moves fast! I had to take a 15k(realized) loss to roll up and out my CC's on IBIT /sadpanda I usually sell pretty far OTM, so it's not really making bank but it does add 1-2% to my annual returns which adds up over time. This time it ripped right through with 3 days of...

Well they must have done it, we only *CRASHED* a half a percent! Thank god they saved us

And just like that, population of EQ legends cut in half

Zomg carhenge. I thought no one else was bored or dumb enough to go there lol.

I tried a bunch of combos in the THJ and they all had some interesting styles to them. The expected holy trinity crap, sure it works but was boring ‘pet cuck. Fun as hell, insanely powerful at all levels but took a bit of specialization at absolute top level Brd + stuff, makes almost OP my two...

Pretty much yes. An MMO where everyone else is a bot. Reading about it here and other places makes it sound tempting. I’d like a few more classes though

If I remember correctly didn’t everything pop on basically resist or reduce slow anyway? This becomes moot in a few expansions.

So lame goat THJ still? Must have at least 1 of each holy trinity to do anything significant as I asked months ago. In THJ, due to prices, buffs and general server you could pull off any combo at nearly all levels. I keep reading posts about how Druid isn’t working, clearly would be better...

I decided to put some money in FMTM today. It’s got a bit of an expense ratio but it’s SPY on crack last 6 months. Figure worth 25k or so.

I think it’s a TSLA long term play. Obviously insane valuation right now but if you believe in the long vision, the capacity to execute it, and the ever mighty inflation/devaluation of the dollar it’s a good play. I went in and out real quick after IPO and now I’m sitting on the sidelines with...

Ummmm, I’m almost positive you pay short term gains on options premiums outside of some special symbols like SPX. not telling you not to do whatever your plan is, just that may want to check that

Fidelity offers me IPOs all the time. I get emails almost weekly. I’ve only ever done it once. There are some rules around using it as well though I can’t remember off the top of my head, may even be different per IPO but it has to do with holding periods and such.

we were hitting all time highs on shit across the board for about 2 weeks now, some minor corrections were bound. While it’s a breadth red day most Major players are still well above 50/100/200 MAs

I am open, if final word is “FOH needs you and it’s fun“ I’ll join and play….at least for a bit. But with the current mechanics, design, and general approach, this will be a terrible death and flop. #remindme3months. im sorry. You can tout the “it’s true EQ” all you want but at some point you...

For a company that does not actually make money 900M in cash with annual expenses of 1.7B doesn’t really give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. He needs to sell BTC or issue common MSTR shares to fund that. Am I missing something?

I don’t follow it too closely either, but I know he did have to sell some BTC recently to cover(or prepare to cover?) those dividends. But generally yes, he could just sit on it all until it recovers. I think he may also have some more traditional style loans or leverage from when he was...

i have actually had to do shit like this to get jeeps out of some Moab trails.

What's the flip point on that to negative? 755/756?

Great example of not needing to understand the markets and the whole "can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent". This and their statement about absolutely not tolerating a blockade and warning people in the north of Israel to GTFO and yet barely a blip in overall market reaction! I...

I like being able to trade/sell loot in THJ. When I would make a new toon to try things I could mostly deck myself out in godmode or at least slowly do so as I hit the gear level requirement it made experimenting with crazy combos much more tolerable

I threw some money into NASA, a space ETF and I believe it has some pre-IPO spacex

Recent weeks taught me that how matter how much I think I understand the market I don’t know shit. good news: following trends and not trying to predict them has been amazing for me. And as others say a millions times, buy index and win(long term) that said I love risk and fun. So I have been...

another perfect example of thinking fun = farming and not just playing the game. Another THJ awesomeness (and many games to be honest) is trading/buying/helping-friends get gear so you can jump ahead quickly. ‘No drop” which EQ created is a fucking stupid idea. Especially in a 20 year old game...

There is no mystery, it will flop. They might be able to brag about it being the most popular EMU/TLP but it will be short lived and have no staying power. I’d also wager their “Most popular TLP” is still less than THJ had. is there a Polymarket for this? lol, I’d put a real 100 down

you can post or not where you want but you are missing the point. People are not saying “it’s not THJ so it’s bad”. We are saying “they completely misunderstand what made THJ fun”

I did and THJ consistently listened to players and always put “fun first” over making sure to cripple a gimmick or play style. Were they perfect, not by any stretch, but it was always fun first. This isn’t and it’s clear. It’s old EQ with an extra flare. Which is fucking stupid on a 20 year old...

What we have all been saying and it is looking more true by the day.

Thanks for info. I’ll keep an open mind and depending on ‘try it’ cost I will absolutely give it a go. But from reading this thread alone I get the impression they are more focused on “true EQ” and less on “relive old memories and have fun”, which is what I loved about THJ and why I would have...

I am reading them This is exactly what I am asking. I get that I can use a stance and something like ench or Druid with a heal or rune in that proc stance, but that requires them in my combo, yes? I am specifically asking if it’s possible to do PURE melee and survive anything of note beyond...

War/rog/bask was murder on THJ ;) or swap one with rng. It was just so much dmg and you could keep alive with AAs, augs, and the heal buff proc thing. That combo also had a cool backstab dmg calculation. so I guess I got my answer, need something with heals, can’t do pure melee DPS so it’s...

asked above but never really got answer, are there powerful melee healing subs/systems like THJ or am I forced to have a healer in my setup? Or at least SK/PAL for their heal proc build otherwise this isn’t even close to the fun THJ system. It’s just a holy trinity from original eq but instead...

whatever multipet problems THJ had were minor at best. It was almost brutally unfair. I tried the BST/MAG/NEC and it was insane. You could individually control which one taunted(tanked) and gear them all(mage pet had more gear slots), they could equipped auged weapons, etc. it was literal beast...

Are there decent heal augs? One of the reasons THJ was diverse of builds and fun was being able to have a no healer build and use procs with crit to heal. Of course PAL or SK had the lifetap/heal proc built in which was just infinite life depending on gear and luck. if no way to heal via proc/a...

this is all the proof that’s needed that this will flop and suck and secrets is a fucking idiot who didn’t even get the point of THJ. There was plenty of “something to do” in THJ without adding elements that annoy your playerbase.

THJ was just fun, it was that simple. The ”Challenege” was trying new class combos or maybe the super +x levels of raids. but the average person? They got to just have fun. Daily instanced non-respawns of anything that mattered for loot, private instances with respawn for xp, awesome gear, no...

As with anything I’ll reserve final comment for when I see it, but I think the general sentiment of “take THJ and misunderstand everything that made it fun, then charge for it” is spot on here. I would have happily paid for THJ exactly as it were. was it perfect? No. Did they slowly try to...

This will be how they do it….sure it’s your money, but good luck actually getting it into something that can be spent. Europe is fucked but it seems the US is following closely
