The PC client has that problem. You have to turn off your filters (spells, bard songs, etc) and other's hits. I've gone linkdead with NO combat going on, with just the raid standing around close together, when I had filters on. Just one of many reasons this game makes me wish I had a...

Will this be an EQW alternative? I would love you forever if you could make a wrapper that makes the EQMac PC client work more like a normal program and accept input to background windows. Also to fix the movement keys getting stuck problem which is beyond aggravating. Fixing the alt key...

You have to remember that they put in their own code in the client DLLs. That code sends over all sorts of identifying information about your machine, so not even a VPN by itself is safe. Every machine has unique identifiers like your NIC's MAC address, so when they see said machine with a...

You can get name changes here? How does that work? SOE shouldn't allow them for this very reason.

Well as somebody who plays late at night and checks tactics a lot, I can say that I've never seen Temerity or Destiny pit war. The only person I've seen pit war was some dark elf shadowknight named Korrupt and his enchanter. (he even killed the diaku overseer with pit mobs. nice)

If these people are making PoP zones unplayable with trains and crashing zones left and right, then they would be disrupting the server to the point of people not wanting to play it anyway.

Time for another round of naming and shaming. This time a botter using a warp hack script to level characters with a fedex quest in Sanctus Seru.

Make sure you're usingeqmule's 2.1 versionwhich is the latest, and make sure you have theMicrosoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)installed.

Yeah, I'm sure Temerity was just terrified of another EP guild and it had nothing to do with TSE coming to eqmac and acting like the assholes they are; laughing about not joining rotations, showing open contempt for everybody there, pit waring AAs, duping, RMTing, and god knows what else...

The joke is that you don't realize that your behavior is why your guild failed. Only an emotionally immature person with self worth issues would dislike somebody simply because they were worse at a video game than they were. Those who aren't laughing at you pity you.

The reason why many people go to PoP as soon as they can is because PoP zones have a significant ZEM and killing higher level mobs gives substantially more exp. A late Luclin patch changed the exp formula to decrease low blue exp and increase red yellow white high blue exp which I thought was a...

That would depend on what where and how you AoE. For outdoors zones, a bard puller would probably be preferable-- or even some indoor zones. Usually for indoor dungeons however, you'd want a beefy high resists tank. Although if you're pulling something like the caller caves, you'll need a...

For all you HotkeyNet PC users: I discovered something yesterday that you might want to use. <SetActiveBackgroundWin> will switch window focus without bringing the window to the top, so you can hit your macros that change focus to another client and back again without it briefly popping in...

Nirron was in TR and it still won't stop me from calling TR a bunch of shit bags. If for no other reason than it's easier than saying "TR are a bunch of shit bags except that one dude who is super awesome" every time. However a guild isn't a race. If the guild refuses to remove...

I play in the top down view. (hit F9 once) Also, in that view, you can look down without moving downward while levitating by making sure your first person view is level or looking upward. You can use page up and page down while in the top down view to control whether you are leving downward...

Inglourious Basterds - One of the old p99 guilds Transatlantic Rampage - IB merged with another guild; active during P99's early Kunark era. Ridiculous name. The Syndicate Empire - The third? iteration of the guild IB's core members formed on eqmac after moving here. They had a couple of...

It's not fake; I shot it myself. Here's another one. This one shows him warp hacking. The tactics footage is two distinct incidents several minutes apart. He was also rambling in alliance chat with the usual 'Tem and Dest are bad!' crap typical from TSE members. Not only are...

Smile, you're on candid camera. GMs had a ticket with that link in it less than an hour after it happened. Don't fuck with the dude with a 20 gig ramdisk.

Oh great. First some jackass named Zeref intentionally trains me and other people using a speed hack, now the login servers are unresponsive. Al'Kabor getting DDoSed perhaps. Nothing I hate more than sadism. If only Karma were a real thing.

Does anybody have a copy of EQW 2.47 somewhere? I want to see if that version works better, but the EQW website went down god knows how long ago. Somebody should track down the dude who wrote it and beg him for the source. Maybe there is a way to modernize the program so that sending...

I don't move my windows, as I use 3 physical machines, but try the SetWinPos comand. i.e. <SetWinPos 1050 -10> If that doesn't work, use the Run command to execute a batch file that will copy an already edited eqw.ini file before executing eqw.exe. i.e. <Run C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe "/c...

First robe drop off revamped CT in Velious on Druzzil Ro. My guild awards it to me, some dude loots it and does a /q before I can get it. (I two boxed) Of course I was the one doing the news for my guild's website, so I made sure people knew this guy's name. GM gave it to me in a day or two.

I've no doubt as to their abilities as players, but they are already decked out in time gear, and for them to kill ToV mobs or farm Lcea with me would be nothing but charity and I have no idea why they would want to put themselves through that. I was hoping to find some people who also needed...

Because PoP content requires charming, kiting, and handling multiple high DPS mobs at once. What I'm really looking for are some regulars to group with; not just a one-time deal. (although that would be fun too) Maybe have our own IRC channel to communicate in or something so we can alert...

So now that it looks like I'll get to stay here awhile longer, and I have several 65 with plenty of AAs, I'm at the point where I'm running out of things I can do alone. I was curious if there were others in my situation that would like to tackle some 1-2 group oriented content. What I want...

Are you sure it's not the known dual-core issue with Everquest clients? Even the modern EQ client has this issue. If you have an older dual core processor, it can screw up the speed the client runs at or have other weird display problems. The solution is to force it to one core. Try...

To those of you getting the "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000135" error when using the new PC client hack: installing theMicrosoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)will fix it.

SOE are the biggest board nazis I've ever seen. I've made three posts on the official EQ Mac Announcements board and 2 were deleted. All you have to do is mention 'pc client hack' in your post and you can't count on your post being there in a few hours; made all the more frustrating in that...

Interesting. In the readme file, he says"MQ2 does NOT contain any active hacks like warp and the likes, nor do we support thoose kind of hacks."If they are serious about limiting MQ2's functionality to a mere in-game map and other features found in later clients, then that would be a small...

Yeah, I might prefer a tradeskill exp bar instead of that. My number of combines to 240 from 188 (the end of 'easy' skillups) was very close to expected though. (1000) I was seriously getting an increased heart rate at some points doing fucking tradeskills. That's EQ for you. I do like how...

EQ just relies heavily on the random number generator, and true randomness is very streaky. Here is my smithing log on Al'Kabor: Now keep in mind, each COMBINE, not skillup, was about 5 minutes of farming-- and I assure you I am able to farm these mats faster than just about anybody...

Well I have a suggestion for Yeahlight: make your own custom server, but also make a classic server using Project EQ's database. I just checked out Project EQ's website yesterday, not knowing entirely what it was. It is in fact exactly what Yeahlight needs: he made the server code, they made...

Even playerauctions only lists 18 items (including WTBs) for all servers, and 81 account offers that are full of 'never been owned' powerleveled accounts. That is still FAR FAR less interest than eqmac or p99 considering the relative user base sizes.

Sony half-assed their progression servers because of the development costs to do it 'right', I assume. Maybe the growing popularity of p99 and eqmac will convince them to devote more resources to the next one. Incidentally while I was looking at redguides, I noticed that like 90% of the RMT...

Yeah I was bored not having EQ to play and did some googling to see what the evils were doing and found that thread. Also, they are getting MQ2 to work for eqmac's PC client; and if for some reason they can't get a PC client working, they will port it over to the mac because "the mac client is...

Actually I agree with this in a way; melee and tanks especially need to be supported by the group's other members. My friends and I generally powerlevel our tanks after our other characters get higher. We also work together to gear him. I think playing the game like Diablo 2 and leveling...

Actually, at the time, more people were against spending all those billions on the Apollo program than were for it. NASA got the funding it did because lots of stuff NASA does is useful to the military. One reason we had shuttles instead of capsules was because the military wanted the ability...

I concur with this. Ogre SK is the best tank for group oriented content on p99, IMO. The stat bonuses of Ogres are not trivial in this era; it's not just the stun immunity. He'll also have clarity always available, which is important for hybrids. (standing regen) The exp penalty for that...

I couldn't log in to give it to you if I had wanted to

Now I'm sad I burned out last winter sitting in FG for many hours and camping that stupid ring. One motivation I have to make my videos is to record some memories of a server I might be cut off from at any time. Although the funny thing about EQ, it eats up so much of your time that being...
