Another year, another chance to catch @Foggy on TV while watching Texas lose

I hear they all play in 3rd person too

The best part is the look on that dude's face just before the chaos, he is truly enjoying a fantastic bite and then BOOM

Can we rename the thread to this

Hmm, been wondering whatever happened to Johnny49

I am the dude that said first person was important to the game’s “magic” and I absolutely despise 4 hour boat rides buddybear.

I heard there was entire Coheed album about how Sylas played in 3rd person and they had to redesign the game around his uber strats

This forum does tend to fall into the grumpy old doomer demographic I don’t see any reason to deny it lol

This could turn it around for StoryBricks!

Well bro it was fun while it lasted. On the bright side at least we got the legendary announcement for fan favorite closer Chas McCormick out “Chas working on 4 days of rest!”

Look you may have very well played that way but I do honestly think you would have been a small minority. There’s no way to really prove that to you I guess but for evidence I would point out that we only really have one “modern” server that uses an old client with the janky f9 camera and that...

Just give ‘em Das Boot

That sounds like the worst house party in the history of house parties

Mouse scroll in EQ wasn’t a thing until well after PoP, you guys just don’t remember it because p99 uses a newer client. Ironically it was a feature first brought to you by… WoW

The F9 camera switches were not the default for exploring areas because they were kinda shitty. I definitely used them in super open areas to kite though

Third person is definitely lame and misses a lot of what made EQ great.

If only we can have a game that brings back the spirit of such smash hits as p99 EverQuest, Vanguard and Shadowbane in 2025 targeted at a group of 40-50 year olds without wives or kids then surely a critical mass of players will be achieved lining up to pay $15/mo

Agreed. It’s pretty funny actually that 80% of “hardcore EQ players” that try TAKP immediately quit because it uses an older client that’s too classic and won’t let them scroll out with the mouse lol @Nirgon where you at on this, third person is pretty unimmersive IMO

I’m just not as brave as you sir Lancelot

You are wrong, this might be what YOU want, but I too would like an old school game, and that is not what I mean at all. I’d just like a game with more static dungeons, first person gameplay, grouping and killing mobs.

Wanting a game designed such that one can only “thrive” in it while living off on SSI/Disability welfare while complaining about communism lol

I think there is SOME (limited) merit to what you're saying, but I don't think you can just easily recreate the magic in 2025. Back in 1999 most EQ players' homes had a single computer with dial-up internet and it wasn't powerful enough to alt tab out, very very few had a second monitor etc...

Class interdependence, group based gameplay and mob killing. Absolutely don’t miss (and don’t have time for) 4-6+ hour grinding sessions, sorry bruh

Have you ever built a house before? You should budget +20-30% for miscellaneous BS from the builder once you’re underway

$200 per sq ft seems awfully optimistic man you can’t even buy old construction for that much in my area and I’m not in some fancy HCOL city

Technically correct but they would still run trials. 1) You would never run a trial of replacing something with Vitamin C. You would run a trial of whether <insert special vitamin C compound that they can patent> PLUS standard treatment vs standard treatment. 2) Even if you did think they...

I feel like this analogy is coming close to jumping the shark for the Nirgon character lol

I’m not sure that math works but maybe I’m wrong. Sure the lowbie friends get a chance to catch up when the highbie hits a hell level but won’t the highbie just gain as much distance on them when they finish their own hell level?

Buying it in a back alley at your local flea market is probably cheap but there’s plenty of “expert clinics” in this country (I’m not going to post links) where they will range from charging you a small fortune to milking you for all you’re worth to get on their special protocol or whatever...

Chemotherapy is very strictly protocolized, so if you're taking a bunch of BS stuff with it and show up to clinic one day only to find out your blood counts are too low or your liver enzymes/kidney function is off, which Ivermectin is documented to do (Febendazole is not as well documented...

Hell levels weren't bad design, they were a coding bug lol IIRC they wanted to slow down leveling progressively at 30, 35, 40, 45 etc. but the guy who implemented it didn't really understand the experience code leading to 30, 35, 40, 45 being hell levels I think @Torrid might be the one that...

In my experience that is what is done, but as you might imagine this conversation is an extremely traumatic experience and I suspect when a lot of people hear “most people live around 6 months but some live shorter or longer than that” patients and their families come away with the message of...

This just really isn't true and Rhyan's post about turtle soup regimens just really shouldn't belong in the Grown-Up Forums, IMO. I mean sure there are anecdotal extreme outliers in either direction but those cases are so rare that they really aren't applicable to any individual person diagnosed...

I admit I think I misunderstood your original comment, my B. I can agree I guess any family that owned a PC and willing to pay 9.99/mo for an online game probably at least average to above the average. I thought you meant MMO players were somehow more motivated to succeed than the average...

Dude I was 11 and had a PC capable of playing EQ. It’s not like you had to build it yourself with a soldering iron you could walk into a Gateway store and buy one. If you include average American as like someone who grew up in the projects or snuck across the border then sure I guess, but your...

Bro if you think hardcore MMO players are more successful on average then I believe @Burren has an insurance policy and bridge in Florida that he’d like to get you plugged in with. I’d say this board apparently has 10,000 members and it shouldn’t be a surprise a few of them are successful. It...
