    Hey African. I'd go Summoner. Only job that auto levels two classes at the same time while playing one. Summoner is pet class so powerful without depending on equipment, so excellent for leveling and soloing for a first class, while the auto leveled job is Scholar, a healer pet class so quick...

    Control and Esper dragons have had some time in play due to the shifting meta but at last weeks World Championship even though half the field played Dig Through Time not a single one of the top four contained a single blue card. Whereas while 8 of the 24 were Abzan three of those were in the top...

    I agree with this - also total value (EV) of a box/case is capped for a long time. The average total value of cards in a box/case can't be more than the average selling price, while it's in print. Remember there will be just under 2 per case. Prices will be astronomical at release but I...

    MaRo actually said they are individually the same rarity as foil mythics but there are 25 of them compared to 15 mythics in a set so they are slightly more common than foil mythics. That's 1.67 times more common or around 2 per case. Roughly 1 set per 12 cases. That's word for word what MaRo...

    I've honestly never used MQ2; is it difficult to set up ? Didn't you used to need a UNIX platform to run it (going back a decade I guess).

    Not sure if other folks are aware of this but Holly Windstalker has been having meetings with Lax (MQ2 dev). She's apparently promoting MQ2 as a 'good 3rd party tool for the eq devs and players". Also claims that they (SoE/DBG) have known for a long time exactly who uses MQ2 and when but they...

    LFC were lucky to win against a very weak team. I think Arsenal will batter us at the back though I don't think Wengers defence will like Benteke.

    Folks might miss this which is linked in the EQ2 thread : EQ2 Prison Server EQ2 introducing a prison server. Idea is if you get caught cheating all your characters are irreversibly moved and restricted to playing on a single 'prison' server.

    Greece - A New Hope

    You seem ignorant of the fact that Germany directly stole 100s of millions of marks from Greece during the war itself the vast majority of which were never paid back. The 1953 reduction of Germanys debt was not just the money owed from post WWI but around 50% from post second world war 2...

    Grouping XP bonuses seem significant. Even just in a duo leveling is much faster. Full group is the way to go.

    Disagree. Loans often do go to the people - indirectly - by being used to implement economic stimuli and turning things around. In Greeces case the loans have gone significantly on interest on debt and interest on interest on debt. I want to be clear here that I am not making excuses for...
