    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    As of Agnarr, the only things regularly beating my ranger in damage pre-Luclin on things Immo could land on was enchanter pets and our best geared monk in kunark+, but anything fire resistant hurt. Can also tank group content up to the end of Velious, since your gear is incredibly close to what...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Been running group instances with friends as people are on. Havent done many world bosses or dolmen farms in favor of shard collecting and quest completion. I'm sure there's stuff I'm not even aware of that I should be doing.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Started playing a couple weeks ago. It's been basically an elder scrolls solo player game that has some group instances (for which you probably want a tank and/or a healer, both isnt really required early on) and some pvp. Theres harder dungeons and 12 man trials eventually as well. I've...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Test has been fucked regularly the last month or two, there was absolutely no way the most recent patch for live was going to go well, and it has not failed to disappoint.

    Side note, if you didnt get the ff11 crossover armor the first time the event happened, it's a solid set, and requires 3 easy fates.

    Ixali logging grounds is still going to cockblock everyone until they look up "HOW THE FUCK DO I LAND ON THAT ONE GODDAMNED PIXEL" and realize you have to max your fps at 30 to have any hope. Yup. We moved the last bit of forum-only info (airship and sub guides and tables) to a discord and...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    About 2 years? There is a bit of cheating involved with that number since my original guild was competing with 3 others for txevu spawns for pants (we did the trial that dropped time equivalent plate pants all of 2 or 3 times), and broke up with the launch of Omens, where I server transferred...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I had some amount of hope in Yoshida and the 14 team when they redeveloped 14 and talked about their plans and where they drew inspiration from and what their goal was and how they would keep progressing towards new things. And 14, within 3 expansions, is every bit as stale as every other...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Oh man, I can tell my story about how we saw a total of 1 plate pants between the time we started Elemental Planes and our first Tunat Muram on Live. That's basically the entire story.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Made enough money in EQ to pay for just about 2 years of school. Most of it was spending weekends farming spell rune turnins in Gates, tracking boss/god/dragon spawns and selling droppables, and being the only Human tradeskiller on Tribunal that ever advertised (there was 1 other), which meant...

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

    You dont like paying money to alpha test a game that has progressively less incentive to advance development for each new person jumping in? That's craaaaaaaazy. Its stressful enough doing that when it's free, or they're paying you. I cant imagine paying to faithfully early access, compiling...

    You can upgrade the 490 tomestone stuff to 500 in the 5.3 patch (or if you raid, now). We dont know if this era relic armor will work like last expansion, where the anemos armor was on par with 5.2 raid gear, then that armor was finished and we got NEW armor in 5.4 and 5.45 with the cool glow...

    Oh hey, just saw this. Xenadia. Played an enchanter, said very little in gchat. Found out about it only because of her icq handle and asked my gm if he knew anything about it and was told not to talk about it in public. Then there were a suspicious number of "sony VP spouses" running around...

    5.1 should be desynth, new craft/gather gear, the start of Ishgard Restoration (though from the last live letter, we wont get the meat of it yet, so I feel like we might get the Ahn Quiraj donation step of content here), the rework of the craft window. I havent had much faith in crafting since...

    I agree with everything but this, and I dont disagree with this so much as have a caveat. If you've played other MMO's, and you dont care about the story, but you do want to do raids and weekly grinds for the sake of grinding more, the cost of a story and level skip might be worth it for you...

    So this makes me wonder if things changed from the era I knew devs to the era they had all moved on. We had a dev raiding with us in EV from classic to the end of LDoN (she would webcam stream after raids and her icq screen name was suspiciously similar to her dev handle so it was pretty easy...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    There are two or three guides that have rotating shifts on the server, so theres usually coverage (and significantly more than other servers, though places like Test can grab dev attention much easier [and have a lot of passive GM involvement])

    Wow. I dont remember the first few steps being anywhere near that involved. I do remember my unrelenting hatred for pookas after Tipt though.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    He joins group, starts shit talking our cleric and enchanter immediately as to how theyre AFK (apparently not healing him when hes at 90% and I'm pulling and tanking is being afk). Both of them get tired of his shit and leave. He pulls that with both the new enchanter and cleric, then kicks...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Wood Elf Warrior, and Im pretty sure he is a box or roommate of Colors, the questionably reputation'd enchanter. They have perfectly synchronized smoke / afk times and have pulled some questionable nonsense in groups.

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    Took me a while to get around to it, and I had heard a lot of "its too painful to watch, man this show is terrible" from people. It was okay. It wasnt great, and it wasnt as heavy handed in its preachyness as I was hearing. For me it was saved by both Jessica's being pleasant to look at...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Seb and KC are going to be terrible, terrible places to be. At least with guk, its a bit rare to have someone manage to get every mob in the zone to a zone line. Kunarks pathing just kind of makes that happen. The hardcore heritage sebilis event on live didnt fix any of the pathing. It was...

    I remember serverwide.bic for Breakdown In Communications aug. There was a lot of "???" surrounding many of those steps, then the last bits were drops off final zone bosses and the magic was a little lost.

    You have needed it on other progression servers, so we're preparing for the absolute shitshow that will be Sebilis, VP and VT key'ing, and if it doesnt happen, holy shit thank the lord.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    And ~850 yesterday early afternoon. I wish I cared more about flipping this gear into krono and reselling it later for significantly more, but that just feels like too much work compared to taking a nap or anything else besides sitting in guk for days to sit in ec for hours.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I tanked through 50 as a ranger, wearing a few pieces of rawhide/cloth without a noticable difference vs similarly geared plate wearers (since everyones wearing leather/mail for this anyway). You play like a higher threat paladin, basically. They get a better heal, you cast healing and get...
