    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    If they intended to do that - they would have done it without upsetting the community by threatening the most popular server in recent memory. The cost to them will be real. They already fucked up. Lets hope they come to their senses. Again, not expecting it.

    I feel Ion Blaze had the best response to the situation with THJ and Daybreak. I hope they listen but I expect they wont.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    I cancelled my daybreak accounts. Its the least I can do. If nothing else - I want them to stop sucking so much. The crux of all of this is multi boxing imo. Whales with multiple accounts represents a large portion of their revenue and I think that model is shit.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Worse, they likely blame the lack of success on THJ rather than their stupid TLP ruleset.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Multiclassing: Players can combine three classes (e.g., Necromancer/Paladin/Druid or Warrior/Cleric/Enchanter), accessing all spells, abilities, and AAs from each. With 560 possible combinations, this allows creative, powerful builds like a "holy blender" (Warrior/Paladin/Rogue) or pet-heavy...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    The community could rally for THJ, but Daybreak’s track record shows they value IP control over fan support. It’s likely a lost cause.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Daybreak could be rich if they were not so greedy (and lazy). I hope they lose it all and the community wins.

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    I thought this as well - but I reconsidered. The way they are implementing this works for a single server. Think of SF and HC as leagues - similar to POE. Other than chat - you cant interact between these leagues. HC has its own economy and SF is SF. I expect SF guilds that work together -...

    The Heroes Journey (Multiclass EQemu Progression Server)

    Really enjoying this server and the unique take on the game. It has rekindled my love for a game I have played most of my life. I really didnt think this level of re-invention was possible. Kudos to the team for bringing this to vision to life. If you are on the edge of trying this one - do...

    Its lag. It's not a new behavior but it is more exaggerated now. The market is held up largely by big tech and these companies are doing quite well despite everything. Even during Covid they thrived. They are so large that even if the remainder of the market was falling, we would still go up...

    The only thing I understand is that gold goes up in economic uncertainty. It's a data point. But personally, I don't understand the rationale. If we experience a collapse at that scale - who is going to accept gold as tender? Even the bullion experts have trouble sometimes identifying fake gold...

    The next 12-18 months will be dicey for sure. If I were in your position I might do the same. I am 15 years+ from retirement so I have lots of time.

    I Was Wrong About Bitcoin. I bought Bitcoin when it was in the single-dollar digits, back when wallets lived on clunky hard drives. Technically, I still own it, but good luck finding that wallet file—pre-online exchange days were a mess. I rode the early hype, but even then I felt it had long...

    In volatile markets, sitting on cash isn’t a strategy—capital must be deployed somewhere, even in uncertain times. Crypto? Not exactly stable historically. Could evaporate at any time and IMO will go the way of tulip bulbs. Gold? Many might agree and in an unstable market many will choose...

    I get the AGI appeal. But IMO the next target is inserting AI into robotics to do meaningful tasks. This will be the next killer appliance. OK maybe killer is a poor choice of words here.

    This is normal. Historically, the larger the single day gain, the larger the drop the following day - usually due to profit taking. - After the 11.58% gain on October 13, 2008 (financial crisis relief plan), the market fell 0.77% the next day - After the 10.79% gain on October 28, 2008, the...

    I did the same. I moved everything into VTSAX yesterday. Should be even better in the single day since the market declined in the last hour. But I moved to VTSAX because I intend to play long now.

    The old trade system and ability to gank packs in ship battles was the best fun in any mmo ever. I'd love for that to be a reality but my trust has been shot so many times I just don't know.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Doesnt seem accurate to me. We had over 200 people online in guild alone last night. I know we are nowhere near that much of the population.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Vaniki is the best TLP in a very long time. Easily my favorite so far - and I was very skeptical going into it. 1. I was bored with the classic start. Starting with GoD there are so many different options for leveling. Who knew Natimbi, Dulak, and warrens would be so populated. 2. The server...

    I bought 150k of index funds today and another 450k later this week. Only people that jump off roller coasters get hurt. Timing the market is foolish and the market will always go up long term, esp in an unhealthy economy.

    Agree on Hiram content. It was supposed to be a catch up mechanic and became a treadmill. Kakao says they want to change that - but not at the start. They want to go back to the trade/craft/sea pvp way of things.

    If it's worth anything, they discussed in a recent ama that they plan to focus on naval battle and return the cycle of trade wars and crafting back to the game. My view, is that at least they are not asking for money up front and putting themselves in a position to prove themselves over time...

    How does weapon scaling work? I understand stats per weapon. At low levels the hammer esp will out DPS a bow or fire staff significantly with equivelent gear and stats. At what point does that change and what are the factors? Melee weapons like hammer seem to have a significantly higher base...

    This game is smooth. Notable elements for me so far were the introduction, sounds, music, gameplay, impactful hits, harvesting. All super clean. I know its a shitshow for a while. But I am really appreciating the quality.

    Just a quick update on me. 30 lbs lost. Hit my body fat goals and I am happy with my weight. I gave up the protein supplement and found it easier to do omad when I kept it consistent. Going off cycle for even one day made the cravings come back. Now curious how far I can take the body fat or...

    Lost 20 lbs on low carb over the last few months. Little exercise. Some strength training, almost no cardio. Some walking. I feel amazing now compared to where I was. Every once in a while I eat garbage and now it makes me feel so bad that I don't enjoy it even though my mind tells me I...

    Fallout 76

    TBH the story was the worst part of Fallout 3. I found myself wanting a multiplayer version without the story. If optimized this seems to be just that.... I'll reserve judgement till closer to a beta.
