    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I probably didn't word that correctly, so I can see the misunderstanding. I didn't mean to say they were douchebags for wanting to zerg. What I meant was they were douchebags if they kick you out of the group because you are not an AoE class.

    Hello. My name is Pharone, and I'm a quitter. I gave up on Whitemane, went to Benediction, and couldn't be happier with that decision if I tried. ;) Oh, and my guild has not raided anything, not accomplished anything, and we are all losers... but we're having a fucking amazing time playing...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The problem isn't the rogue class nor the game design (as far as WoW Classic). The actual problem is the duchebags you are getting grouped with in the dungeons. I've seen this in every single MMORPG I have ever played. The group you run with makes ALL the difference. If you like zerg, no...

    Finally got my Warlock to 18 (2 bubbles from 19) Sunday. I have been taking it pretty slow just enjoying the game. If anybody on Benediction (Horde side) needs bags, wands, or enchants, hit me up. I'm sure most of you will be long past the level of my crafting levels' usefulness, but just...

    I did that after the first channel invite from those bastards. I was annoyed though with the fact that it still shows the channel invite attempts in the chat window. So, you still get spammed by the gold sellers.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    So, what you are saying is that the full WoW Classic experience is happening because that's what happened back when WoW came out the first time.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    You missed one very important thing the player is building in a MMORPG (or should be building although modern MMORPGs have thrown it away). That is they should be building their character. Cookie cutter MMORPGs with "balanced" classes-on-rails are the bane of a "RPG". The player should be...

    Everquest Mysteries

    This is what happens when a game goes way too damn vertical in expansions rather than realizing there is a limit to vertical growth before it becomes stupid. They should have expanded this game with a horizontal design after the Planes of Power expansion, and never gone vertical again. By that...

    Someone might have answered this already, but honestly, I looked at the thirty plus pages I was behind on the thread and said fuck that, and skipped to the last page. I'm looking for a good auction addon and a gathering addon. I kept seeing videos leading up to WoW Classic saying to use...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This precisely. It takes some effort to setup everything to be more user friendly on the PS4, but after you get it all configured the way you want it, it's great. I play on the PS4 with controller, but I have a mouse and keyboard hooked up to the PS4 for chatting and such. I would say that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm mainly referring to the sub 50 content, and the advantage being you don't need to know the dungeons for the most part. Just follow the tank, and learn how to play your class as you go. Obviously, healer is a good option for this as well, but for myself, I prefer playing DPS over healer...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    If I remember correctly, you have about 109 more quests to fully complete ARR and start Heavensward. What this is, is the content they released in patches AFTER ARR came out. So, you officially beat ARR. Now you are playing through the patch content that came out between ARR and Heavensward...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I ran in to that same situation myself while playing through the first 50 levels. There just is a ton you can do in the game, and if you don't pick a small handful to focus on, you get overwhelmed very quickly. The other trap is multi-classing before you get one class through the MSQ of ARR...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This is one of the things that I think modern MMORPGs get wrong. They listen to people complain about stuff like squishy tanks pets, and they adjust the class to make the pets less squishy. What they fail to take in to account is that the fact that the pet is squishy is offset by the skill of...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Have fun in Scars of Velious. It truly is one of the best expansions in the game. Well... all except that damn dragon that you have to sit, stand, sit, stand, sit stand for God knows how long. I truly hated her.

    He obviously didn't realize that Brad's idea of a pet is a visual dot rather than an actual pet. You can't push a visual dot with your foot obviously.

    My brother and I have fully embraced the fact that Whitemane is impossible to get on and have fun reliably, and we have thrown our undivided attention to the Benediction (PvP - Eastern) server. When we get to max level, and the servers calm the fuck down, we might look at transferring servers...

    So, instead of increasing the layers, they just let more people online in each layer at a time. Holy fucking hell. These people really are more stupid than they appear at first glance. I mean they are setting new records for how stupid a gaming company can actually be.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    My brother is going to install WoW Classic on his second computer, and log us both in a couple hours before I get off work (hopefully before the East coast gets home). That being said, we are going to play on Benediction (PvP) server. If Whitemane calms down in the future, we might transfer there.

    What they should do is increase the number of layers per server by a ton. That's the fix. Stop with the band aids.

    So, I stayed home sick yesterday from work, and naturally, I played a boat load of WoW. Here's the thing. My brother and I played on Whitemane from about 7am up to 2pm central with no queue issues. Then sometime between 2pm and 3pm, the East coast got off work/school, and the server filled up...

    My 60 day time card ran out this weekend, and I have not bought a new one because WoW Classic starts today. I don't really see a reason to play both games at the same time, so I am going to hold off on getting another time card for FFXIV until WoW Classic fizzles out. I still really love...

    I am completely torn on this subject. On one hand, I put a good 17 years of my life in to EverQuest, and it holds nostalgia strings to my heart that are damn near impossible to sever. On the other hand, I the last round of TLP servers was the straw that broke the camel's back for me with DBG...
