    Poll EQ TLP Mischief or WOW Classic TBC?

    Lol Wows success had absolutely zero to do with any fandom of those players mentioned. EQ had a small population as mentioned prior, but there were several mitigating factors in Wows success and not a single one was that some of the top raid guild leaders moved over there. Without making long...

    New World

    The leveling via crafting is popping an exp scroll and mass turning in master writs. Basically you only need to get the char up to lvl 10 to 12ish to have enough points to put into crafting to do achy/ prov / enchanting master writs and then go from 12 to cp 160 in about 30 to 45 mins. It was...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I wasn't sure I would like VR or not and haven't followed the tech closely at all, so I didn't have to experience the first generation or two of VR and it's limitations. However, seeing as how I couldn't find a PS5 and was growing bored, just decided to get the Quest 2 on a whim. Figured I...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I noticed the same thing. I had the alternative method set up to try project cars 2 and it was absolutely unplayable because it looked so bad. Did other PC VR games fare better for you?

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I can not speak to what VR used to be or even been in the category that really followed it or cared. I was interested in a VR headset for racing / flight games , but due to Corona wiping out my job, that took a back seat as I could no longer justify buying an Index, wheel / flight stick and 80...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To preface, I no longer play WoW or really any other MMO anymore, but do follow them. I am one of the ones that are a fan of the housing systems in various games like EQ2 and ESO. The idea of getting trophies and placing them on walls was so much better than a random +100 meaningless...

    Home buying thread

    It will be the first time owning a home. We rented one in Florida for 4 years, and then now in Indiana for 1. We have a little girl now, so apt isn't big enough anymore.

    Home buying thread

    So I am looking for opinions on what to do, and feel yall seem pretty informed and knowledgeable about things I am not. My new job is taking me to Columbus, IN and its about a 1 1/2hr commute to my work if we stay in the Indy area, so that's not really possible. We currently rent a home for...

    Investing General Discussion

    That gofundme.post doesn't seem legit. He claims to have had all his positions closed out thr next morning, but he was trading options. Brokerages dont close out options trades like they would with shorts and leave you with a massive loss. I guess if he was a brand new trader and didn't...

    Investing General Discussion

    Can someone shed some light into the GME rocketship of late? It wasn't long ago the stock was $2.47. All major console makers are going basically all digital, so the resell market won't be there much longer and they announced they are closing 1000+ stores. Their entire profit was derived...

    Playstation 5

    I dont think there is any rush to get either of the new systems out yet. If you have a somewhat decent PC, I dont see anything out yet that isn't playable on that except maybe Demon Souls, and in a side by side comparison to the games that have been dual released on both ps4 and ps5, its not a...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I was one of the top crafters in the game in EQ2 and either the first or second person worldwide to hit 50 in spell crafting and made every spell upgrade that a sage could make for FoH in the early game, so I do feel I have some sort of perspective on crafting there. At first glance, it was a...

    Depression

    All of my family has passed away, I am the last one still around. Lost both my grandmothers and both my mom and dad over a span of 4 years. I looked for jobs out there that could use my Aviation experience, but what we didnt know as a lower enlisted person back then was that you needed an...

    Depression

    I very rarely post anything about my RL situation, and probably still shouldnt, no matter how embarrassing my life turned out to be. Having said that, I am in the same situation as this person. I left the Army back in 2004 after back to back deployments to Korea and Iraq and thought Id get a...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I think people are burnt out and want something newer and shiny to play. Right now the only real choices for mmos you have are all 8 to 15+ years old.

    Path of Exile

    I really wish I could get into this game. Had a couple of lvl 70+ toons with a bunch in the 40s, and it still doesnt grab me. My biggest issue personally is that I am never excited for the loot explosion. Dont think I have ever looted any item in this game that made me feel excited to have...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    If I remember correctly, if you bought the morrowwind expansion then you got the warde , and if you bought the Elsywere expansion then that included the necro.

    First EverQuest, 3 screenshots

    I got the mage epic in the same time frame a majority of other people were first completing the epics. There would have been zero way I would ever have been able to accomplish that during the relevant time period without allakhazam, evermore, eqatlas, and the mage tower website. I do remember...

    First EverQuest, 3 screenshots

    I played in the top raiding guilds on my server from Classic to GoD. With the exception to the Rathe Council and the first phases of Time ( where the raid had to be split for the first time in EQ history that I can remember ) , the only strat was to have enough clerics on a cHeal rotation. 99%...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I didn't have the funds for 2 computer set ups back when EQ was in its prime, but I damn sure would have boxed a toon back then knowing what I know now. Having a pocket druid around back then would have made life spectacular. Even now after WoW has been out 15+ years, most of all my friends...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    My mage had the highest possible APM if any of the classes I played. Went something like this if I remember right.. Wait a few.sec for tank to get aggro. Hit 1 for /assist Hit 2 for /petattack Wait another sec...hit 3 for Firebolt of Talon or whatever it was. Hit 3 about once every 6 to 7...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    So tiresome seeing people regard EQ as some sort of bastion of " skill ". I raided bleeding edge content from vanilla up to the GoD expansion up to whatever the raid zones were past Qvic and then guilds started falling apart left and right due to WoW and EQ 2 release. The only skill required...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I hate to break this to you, but this game is an aberration already. This wouldn't fly back in the early 2000s, much less 2022ish. There is nothing even remotlely exciting that has been shown by this team in regards to game play, graphics, mechanics etc. Also, Everquest was not a difficult...

    I was excited for the Madden upgrade that turned out to be terrible admittedly, but Battlefield 4 was , and still is incredible and probably the best Battlefield in the whole series.

    Playstation 5

    Having every real major system since growing up with the NES, I feel the same way. Every generation, the excitement has mounted to get a new system and enjoy all the new titles, but this generation is so different. It appears that instead of getting a ton of new games to play, we will be...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This game looks like an abortion. There is nothing even remotely going on here to be excited about. This game would look dated already if it was released during the main Everquest era during 1999 - 2004 anyways. I'm not so sure that the combat system shown thus far could be made any more...

    Best Sports Game of All Time

    NFL 2K5 Game was far ahead of its time that EA has.paid billions upon billions of dollars to keep 2k from making another sim football title. Even to this day, it has many features that Madden doesn't, the AI and the logic are still miles ahead...and the presentation is still light years ahead...
