    Never thought I'd see the day where a genuine SOE server would feel more at risk for a abrupt unannounced closure than its emulator cousin. I'd probably feel more safe with the permenance of my toon on P99 than on EQ Mac at this point. Esp after the layoffs.

    Running to safe spot and camping out clerics while everyone else got ravaged was the tried and true method of breaking the planes.

    Aye, having the MQ2 devs working on the PC hack worries me that, given the source, MQ2 use on the Mac server will begin to get out of control. If the patch can remedy some of the MQ issues, by virtue of correcting the holes which allow the exploits rather than simply by the new patch version...

    I've been really busy at work lately and was looking forward to firing up some EQ mac after it was all over. No PC hack is sadface.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    The Freeport revamps were unforgivable. East Commons and Nektulos didn't bother me. Lavastorm kinda sucked. Didn't love making Oasis and S Ro the same zone, but the feel isn't too different. I assume that GF would be left alone because they'd have to A.) revamp Kelethin and B.) revamp the...

    Prioritizing Workflow on the Job?

    I work in the finance department of a medium sized company. Often, the CFO, my director, and my manager all have different projects that they individually want me to focus on. In each of their minds their own projects should be item #1 on my things to do list. I have direct interaction with...

    Aradune Returns to EQ aka the EQ Nostalgia thread

    I was in 14 Days/EoE as well. If I remember right, we had some run ins with your guys up in PoH, Zaide. I think Vulak sucked any desire to play classic on a live PC server out of me. Ths ridiculous strength of mage pets, out oc control F2P boxing and unbalanced out of era mechanics (HT spam)...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    For my level, I've seen one guy who has a scripted box crew aoe group. He has 2 chanters that start casting stuns 2-3 minutes before he starts, then he pulls the zone in small chunks for about 10 minutes then finally nukes it all down. I've seen the guy pulling and theres no break in his...

    I can't figure out if this is related to the PC hack, but often what I type and what the chat outputs are different on this server. It seems to be unable to understand =, %, :, and the like.

    In my mid 40's now. Been camping Mith BP in Sol B with my shaman/rogue/pali box. Slow is finally becoming useful. Settling into the server nicely.

    I just use my laptop for the third box. It's actually pretty versatile as you can do stuff like heal at the same time that you're togglign the other two toons.

    I always thought you needed two enchanters for an aoe group. I'll keep an eye out for you, my guys are 38 right now. I am not in what?, I saw those guys as well the other day.

    Started playing in UGuk; far more enjoyable experience. XP is way faster and it's not buggy what-soever. I do miss having the ability to get bronze drops though.

    Having played in 99 on live, I'm somewhat wondering how accurate of a port to mac this server was in terms of some of its NPC mechanics. The level of overall buggyness that I'm seeing on EQ mac is far beyond what I remember from back in the day. I spent the past few days playing in Unrest and...

    Just downloaded this and attempting to get the PC fix working. Really excited to play some classic EQ again. I'm not sure how common stuff is on this server, but does anyone have any relatively low end twink stuff I could borrow? I think that I'm going to be rocking cracked staves and dying...

    As I said before, I really like Krip and think that his steam is great. I was just commenting on the seeming mis-understanding that he's supporting himself through 24/7 gaming, aka living dream. I know when I graduated from college, I spent a few months rolling out of bed and gaming 18 hours...

    Guys life hardly looks glorious. As far as I can tell, he still lives with his parents, barely sleeps or showers, and wears the same 5-6 t shirts every day of his life. Having the leverage to game all day every day is probably awesome, but I seriously doubt that he's making a living.

    I have like 25 tabs or so and it honestly feels like too much. I think somewhere in the 15-18 range is about right. It starts getting really hard to keep track of shit when you have that many tabs. It's also a huge pain in the ass to organize them. I usually keep the first 5 tabs open as...

    I just purchased a pair of black Ferragamo oxfords recently and have been very happy with them. The design is timeless and the quality of the leather and overall comfort are tremendous compared to some of the lower end oxfords that I've worn. I don't at all agree with the comment about paying...

    I think the problem is that you can ride almost any build into the high 20s low 30s and have the appearance of being well built. I know when I first started, I'd end up having some shitty build that would inevitably end up using molten shell as a crutch more and more until I felt essentially...

    Just killed merc piety in HC last night, finished the entire game 1-67 solo. Also, god knows how, managed to get clipped with a merc vaal slam and lived to tell the tale. He was enfeebled and I had fat fingered my granite pot of iron skin a second before it happened, did about 3700 or so on me...

    I'm not an expert on summoners by any means, but few things I noticed: Don't make the build to 120 points, unless you have a really good idea of what the low priority nodes are that will fill out the last 15-20 or so. You missed the second 'Body and Soul' node. I would avoid the whole...

    Been rolling with a build that seems absurdly op for the last day or so. I got remote mined spectres with LMP and health and I have the extra spectre node, so I have 2x LMP'd mobs from Solaris temple that shoot the LMP fireballs that fork. So my LMP combined with their native LMP makes each of...
