    Oh if only they were as skilled at pit waring and botting CH rotations as you guys were. I suppose they should have had their cleric player pay for 5 accounts during the time the server had a subscription while botting the heals? Must suck to have that guy get banned. Sounds like something...

    EQMac Shutting down

    Yes, and once it leaves the control of Sony, you will find MANY eager programmers more than willing to fix those things. I'm not Hobart or Secrets, but I can certainly fix some of those things myself. The problem with the Test server is that server is modern EQ. I'm sure if I told people at...

    EQMac Shutting down

    Need a disgruntled, possibly about-to-leave SOE employee to copy EQMac's server code plus NPC, item, and quest database and release it into the wild somehow (torrent, usenet, megaupload, wikileaks, whatever) EQ must be saved from those at Sony who would destroy it

    Modified Classic Progression Server

    Why the hell do people keep making EQ emus and then remove what made EQ what it was? Out-of-combat regen alone is a huge deal breaker, let alone removing the entire raiding end game. What's the point? Might as well play WoW and have a superior UI while you 'raid' 10 mans. I play EQ because...

    Smed is just killing EQ intentionally or otherwise. Everything Sony has done post-POP has been to the detriment of EQ. He WoWified EQ1 PC, turning the game into something that is nothing like the game we remember He made EQ2, from day one of the design doc, NOTHING like EverQuest He killed...

    I think the GMs were treating Al'Kabor like the PC servers. And their policies are probably set up to not ban paying customers unless they do REALLY bad shit and get caught red-handed. Even then they still don't permaban. GMs WATCHING somebody warp around with hacks and train people gets them...

    And I hope bad things happen to that stupid fucking moron New Age Soldier guy. Way to release a warp hack publicly on a free server with no policing hosted by a company barely staying afloat. Fucking idiot.

    So in other words, Smed let the hackers win. Instead of doing something sensible, like implementing a small sub fee to pay for the single GM that could police the server, he just decided to shut it off. Thanks for letting people like Relapse win, Smed. Let me explain what has been...

    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...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    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...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...
