    Relaxed true box Mischief would be $$ I already have a hard time explaining to the misses why more box computers have been showing up from Amazon.

    36 hours is not bad. What was the comp for shards and Emp keys like? Where did you focus the crew? Sleep included?

    Seeing the UI is one thing, but the CRT is a whole other. RIP e-machine and dial up. Good find.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Since you love proof, do you have any that shows that 20k krono worth of plat was sent out during PoP? I can only assume you are placing some silly low value on plat/krono and not accounting for the dupes, but if I’m wrong I’m wrong.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    The long term health of the guild? What guild? And they were literally called the Zapan loot rules when they were implemented - couldn’t buy multiple items of the same kind per raid after I bought all of the Azure robes for my box crew, must attend a raid to bid, then it was you had to be at...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I don’t claim to have killed the guild, but did people leave as a result of what we were doing? Yes. @Zaide, did you leave at all because of what we were doing? I believe there were multiple reasons, but I was told by Krims and others that a significant reason was that I (and others) weren’t...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Haven’t made any money in EQ, but I have spent a few shmeckles on it. On Mischief, I sold probably 50-75% of all the server monk epic MQ’s netting around 350 krono, and gave away an equal amount of monk epics for free netting me flat or even a loss. Had a blast doing both. There are a lot of...

    @Rajaah, this is gold. You've convinced me. Here's my story: I separate my gaming life and personal life pretty well. Friends know my business but don't know the extent. My professional network has no clue. That said, I do have one instance where EQ bled into RL. It's April 11, 2003 (I know...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    A server where they hard enforced SEQ, MQ, etc and moved people over off of the TLP to another server would be very interesting. Imagine having actual trackers in zones again, and all of the downstream implications

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    What’s the status / focus / server pop on Vaniki? Is it one guild focused on progression or more? Is it a shitload of enchanters for charm? How’s gear being handled as a means of progression? OW vs DZ schedule? Bazaar used much? Boxing prevalent (or even required)? What are people and guilds...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Grats. How was the competition? GiG still making a presence? OoW racing was one of my favorites. Any failed mask clicks? Did you prep on test or go in dry? Did they change how signets dropped, IE they could randomly be dropped across all the holders or were they specific to zone and only the...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    GoD unlocks when Sleeper dies. Would be the only way to get the server to rally together but also be one of the most hilariously creative collaborations.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Interesting. Didnt selos have double exp and half lockouts? 5 weeks wouldn’t make things very interesting. If it were somehow a 2-3 month push it’d be wild.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    GoD level 1 start would be pretty interesting. That is a long, long server launch marathon. Classic - 1.5 weeks to gear a raid for Kunark? kunark - 2-3 weeks to gear for Velious? Maybe another week for epics? Velious might take awhile in that gear, 3 weeks to gear for Luclin? Maybe need...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Someone awhile back was telling me that GoD was intended to be a level 70 max level expac, but something happened and they stayed at 65. Hence why everything hits like a fucking truck and produces level 73 mobs everywhere. Can't confirm or deny but based on the content it sounds reasonable...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I love when these threads take a nosedive. Channel your energy into things you can control and you will be a lot happier. Back to Microsoft and the pros cons. I am not surprised Microsoft swooped them up. I am surprised that Amazon didn’t. Imagine if Amazon and Twitch got ahold of all of the...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I work in M&A and BD for a large SAAS company similar to Microsoft and am just as eager to see this play out as everyone here. These things, especially with a company as large as Microsoft will take years to fully develop. There are typical acquired company phases we should expect to see, both...

    I know I’m just getting caught up and everyone’s already talked about how if you live on the west or east coast in any major tech / software city, they are drinking friendly environments. But.. This is not a drinking issue. It’s a culture and values issue that Blizzard is going through...

    Funny, we did take a vote after we finished ours Friday am on transferring over and killing yours too. We couldn’t find documentation that supported us being able to transfer back so we didn’t want to take the risk of being stuck on TB.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Thinking those warders were going to last a second cycle is just ignorant. And it had nothing to do with supply end demand. If I lead a guild large enough, I would have exclusively focused on setting up ST, and issued DKP to sit and make sure no one could wake him. That wasn’t the case. I also...

    It is. I only played Mangler and Aradune, neither at Velious launch in terms of TLP’s.

    It will be interesting to see how the loot tables turn out for the bosses leading down to the dragons. Hopefully they aren’t great so you can skip them.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I already had all of my toons, and had been selling monk epic MQ’s / helping people with their monk epics during Kunark. I did name change all of them to ST Warder names to help maintain anonymity and keep things tight. And yes, I spent 177kr on the guild sod, and planned on buying a second...
