    I wonder where Prathun is going now, maybe Holly hooked him up with a job over at Blizzard? It will be hard for DPG to replace someone w/ like 20 years of institutional knowledge and experience w/ EQ spaghetti code.

    I confirmed that Efreeti and Gobs > Hole (most camps). The only one I didn't test was undead which is apparently the best camp. So ymmv.

    It's really hard to convince your players that the smart long term move isn't actually "officer corruption". No matter how transparent you are you'll have to deal with salty man children crying tears on the forums about your guild eventually. I had some guy claim I was getting venmo'd cash from...

    The Paladin was a huge time investment, I have over 315 hours played on him (over 13 days!). I let chat vote and they chose SSF Hardcore Shaman for my next run but tbh I'd personally like to level a Rogue or Necromancer, the Rogue ideally just as a normal character not SSF.

    Yeah bro two big things I would do would be cast endure magic on myself before I pulled that Wizard and then if you look at the end I actually killed the wizard by using my IV hoop. If I had realized I did that before I ran out I could have just rooted the other ghoul and origin'd without dying...

    Bro this shit is so rare that people don't even believe me when I tell them about it. It happened to me in 2011 and I straight up saw him physically spawn, respawn the entire zone and then despawned himself leaving the rest up. He had a custom shout to go w/ it too. Man that's awesome. Do you...

    Impossible. Envenomed bolt (I believe) does full damage for dps calculation purposes after just one tick of the dot. The only way to beat 2 Necs is to have 3 Necs.

    Something I have been wondering. There has been a level 27 solo Mage named Marv farming Raiders in South Karana near the NK zoneline for weeks. Every time I go there day or night he is there, still 27, still killing them on spawn. What’s the scoop, what is this Mage farming? Is this a plat farm...

    Despite the big zem Kedge loses to most other zones because mob throughput is so low. Density is poor and movement speed is awful which means pulls take longer. Alizewsaur is the main reason that Goblins win the exp race. It's better than SolB even if you have all of Efreeti and BnB. So from...

    Yeah I've logged and parsed all my runs. We were able to compare our leveling rate to our launch groups benchmarks throughout due to the logs. I didn't look at DPS too heavily this time but I can say that before the Enchanter nerf for instance a charm pet was as much or more dps than 4x...

    Group comp was full retard. 4x Mage, Cleric, Ench. We effortlessly rolled through 1-34 but getting into Solb we had to start dealing with piles of level 50 Necromancers camping Kobolds and Efreeti. Once we got to 45 and went to OOT goblins it was smooth again. We were doing sub 1 hour levels...

    Totally fresh like the server just opened, no outside help etc. It's meant to emulate how you'd play and what you'd do if you were trying to get 50 as quickly as you can on a fresh server launch.

    I went to CT and pulled a blue mob to the zoneline solo. He was 3-4 levels below me and I used 100% of my mana and LoH and he was still healing when I had to zone out. Mobs like that heal through the walls all over the zone.

    People actually used to do this back in the day, there is a ring that drops in loio which was popular for it. Over time aggro tools became much better so most people stopped doing it. Nowadays, due to MoTM (tanks don't want to swing and eat a riposte for 1/4 their hp) and the LoS tanking exploit...

    The last two days I’ve had a lot of people roll past me and charm the mob I am currently in combat with and then just walk away. We aren’t talking named mobs, just random ghouls. When this happens I ask them politely to break charm and if they don’t I sit in their camp on my 35 Paladin and take...
