    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    You should reach out to Scott, he's very approachable. Never tried to communicate with Holly. Side question, and feel free to ignore as its personal, but what district/county in KY do you teach in? I'm kind of shocked to see that someone is teaching game design in the state.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Agreed on OoW being a great expansion, it released one month before WoW did but the GoD damage was already done.

    So if Agnarr is locking at PoP + LoY/LDoN...bets on how many weeks before the server is ded?

    Any suggestions on where to farm decent tank Type 7 augs? Is my best bet going back to EoK and TBS to run missions? Also...fuck the Cactii mission... I find it hard to justify why the entry level group mission should require a T2 geared tank to complete. The amount of incoming damage in that...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Pure hypothetical here: What do you think the Interpid team could do with the EQ IP or EQ:N assets (if they even still exist) if the "rumors" of DB's sale turned out to be true? Caveat - I'm not certain I see any benefit to them actually buying DBG, unless it's actually being firesale'd.

    Citalels ruined EVE. They ruined EVE for a solid year and a half. Fuck moon mining, fuck vulnerability mechanics, and fuck the three years it took to fix jump fatigue. Also, Fuck EVE. ;)

    The fishy part of their explination that "we just didn't properly clarify..." is that Columbus Nova was baked in to their Privacy Policy, meaning that at one point, one of their lawyers was also convinced they were owned by CN.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    That is a pretty good characterization of the H1Z1 vs PUBG debacle. H1Z1 king of the kill was super fun, but clunky. PUBG comes along and is damn near the same game, in additon to also being very clunky, but itterates at a much faster pace than DBG does and as a result, kills any chance H1Z1 had...

    ...what? No where in The Edge's post, in the posts leaidng up to his post, or in my reply to Nirgon's response (which also didn't mention it) does anyone mention replacing raid gear immediately...the entire context of this chain of responses is limited to the scope of "new expansion...

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

    Are you arguing that the last twelve years of countless WoW clones somehow moved the genre forward? The genre has stagnated, anyone who takes an honest approach to reviewing where the industry currently stands won't and doesn't disagree. There is certainly "hope" on the horizon with games like...

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

    You've made a pretty significant assumption about whether I enjoyed WoW or not, (hint: I played from release thru WotLK and enjoyed it...) which has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the success of the game destroyed the industry.

    If that is all you walked away from that post with, you're just a low-effort troll who is upset with having the basis of their argument refuted. I'm not interested in writing a teatise on how WoW, despite being a good game, ruined the MMO industry for over a decade. Instead, I'll point you to...

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

    This is who my response is to. They don't even remotely contradict themselves. EQ Leveling was a "group" excersize unless you happened to be one of a few snare kiting classes. Meaning that it was unlikely that a "Group" would walk in to the first zone of a new expansion and eat shit, just like...

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

    The original post was speaking to EQ period, not "the first zone" of any expansion, which I just provided you with a direct example of. The response to which I replied, if you took the time to actually read the context of the discussion, tried to claim that only WoW did this. Please point to...

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

    The examples for WoW are exaggerated, as is my response. In every single successive EQ expansion, high level trash mobs were of course more powerful and more difficult than content from the previous expansion. You can look all over Kunark for examples of this, to include the Chokidai in...

    This is likely an oversight as it's a known bug for Live. Buying new spells from 1-110 costs roughly that amount.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Shaman/SK is a popular duo. Good tanking and pulling with the SK, slows and heals with the Shaman. The other two combo's you'll be forced to snare kite, not that it's a bad option especially in PoP (snare kiting the PoFire tables).

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    OoW raiding was amazing, even if I hated it thematically. Epic 2.0's are all relatively enjoyable. DoDH was an amazing expansion, and the raids were top notch. DoN was fun thematically, who doesn't enjoy an expansion full of fucking Dragons. If you enjoy EQ and didn't do the last two, you...

    Pony'd up for the PPV for the first time in like..8(?) years. Wasn't disappointed to be honest. The main draw for me was Rose, but felt like I got my money's worth by the time the Zabit vs Bochniak fight was over...what a wild fucking ride. I expected the Khabib fight to be done in two rounds...

The problem I found is that if the character has to move in order to reach the correct follow range, and isn't...

    Last I heard MQ2 was still a banable program, where as ISBoxer is not since it has no built in automation features. That is ultimately the reason I started using it, and why I went back to it this time. I really like a lot of the newer features. Will post some updated screen shots later
