    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I made it to 26 on my pugilist last night. Other than that, I have just been enjoying exploring the world and trying different things like crafting. I picked up mining, goldsmithing, and leatherworking. I got my mining and goldsmithing to about level 15 right now. Just started the...

    If I remember correctly, I am on the Exodus server. Do they allow server transfers in FFXIV?

    Speaking of that... how do I know when I have crossed over in to the Heavensward content? I got the expansion free here recently when Square was giving it away, but i know nothing about it personally. Will it be a natural progression of the main story line from the original game in to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I got to level 25 on my pugilist yesterday, and yeah I am 100% hooked on FFXIV now. I uninstalled EverQuest, and said fuck that shit. I noticed that the leveling seemed to slow down after the first 20 levels. It's no biggie, I don't mind grinding... I mean I played EverQuest for almost two...

    Yeah they changed it a long time ago to have the quest mobs spawn super fast.

    Well, now what?

    Why not try some of your ideas out on your own EMU server? You can have a server setup in 5 minutes, and if you know anything about databases and SQL, you can have the basics of your idea started in no time. That's literally what I did. I got sick of modern EQ going in directions that I did...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    The server will be flooded with fungi tunics on the market by the end of the month due to how many people are playing on the server and the subsequent number of Sebelis picks that will be open every day. I'll probably wait and pick up one for 1000p for twinking alts later. The more...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Sebelis had 18 picks open last night. I knew there would be a lot, but holy hell. Took a while to find an open camp, but once we got going at the Chef camp, I had non stop mobs in camp for hours. I finally dinged 50, and had fun. I really feel like Kunark is one of the best eras of old...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I haven't done any content in any of the expansions yet (as I am not high enough level yet to even think about it). I was wondering if there is more voice over work in the expansions? There's a lot of dialogue in the game, and I like the story based game play, but I find myself wishing that...

    I really enjoyed reading all of the answers. Thanks for putting this all together. I have to say that the answers given about making NEW content specifically for TLP servers just showed how much of a disconnect the DBG team has with the TLP player base. The person asking the question was...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    It's the ones that are online 24 hours a day non-stop that I am more talking about. Like the necros that were in Rathe Mountains on Mangler 24 hours a day for ever. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know what was going on.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Honestly, the reason I decided to give FFXIV a second chance (I tried it long, long ago before the remake) is becuase after 20 years, I have given up hope that the industry will ever make a true EverQuest clone with up-to-date graphics and UI. I had given up on an EverQuest-like MMO ever being...

    I played quite a bit this weekend (when I wasn't in EQ working on my monk). I got my pugulist to 16, tharmaturgist (spelling?) to 10, and gladiator to 8. Dang fun game honestly. So, I'm curious about something. Is it intended that you pick a single class and play it up before going back...

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Word is that the botters are already back out there doing their thing on the servers. It amazes me that DBG literally could care less about botting. You would think they would be against anything that causes paying customers to quit playing the game. It just makes no sense. I mean there...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I get more and more skeptical of this game and it's development every year. It just feels like a scam that is praying on the desperation of those who long for a niche MMORPG like EverQuest in an industry that will never create another niche MMORPG because Wallstreet got involved in the gaming...

    We got some heavy storms rolling through the area tonight, so not sure if I will get to be online or not. Thursday I should be raiding. Maybe we can get some grouping going this weekend.

    I was able to get in and mess with the UI on the PS4 version last night after work. It looks a million times better now. I really like the way they handle the UI editing in the game. I didn't have much time to play last night as I went to see Avengers End Game (3 hours omg!!!), but I managed...

    I need to spend some more time messing with it, but I am assuming there is a way to clean the UI up on the PS4 version right? When I played last night, I loved the game graphically, but the UI was covering up so much that I was like wtf is all of this.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    It was good times. I ended up hitting 46 on Monday. Joined a small casual raiding guild (Kursed), and killed Naggy, Vox, Phinny, and that dude in the Hole. I'd say it was a productive holiday weekend.

    My monk is 21 and my brother's ranger is 18 now (I think). We'll be online tonight and obviously all weekend. I've got a 46 shaman (with like no gear, so super gimped lol) I will be using for out-of-group buffs/heals, but I would prefer to get us in a real group, so I don't have to man the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The final season of GoT was just plain fucking horrible, and the last episode was the culmination of the horribleness that was the final season. There's no need to go in to detail about what was horrible because too much was horrible. It simply was the worst final season of any tv show I have...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    I'm currently leveling a monk and my brother is leveling a ranger at the moment on Mangler, and we are looking for a guild to join for raiding when we hit max level. The main thing is that we're just not in to the "playing EverQuest as a second job" thing anymore. We're old farts, and to be...

    All really good points. I agree that it needs some level of user-based control (or what some of us are calling twitch game play). It shouldn't be just hit auto-attack and go make a sandwich. It's just that if I have to hit a button to make my character dodge a big swing by the mob, than...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    That is actually one of my biggest gripes about twitch-based games in any genre that refers to itself as some form of RPG. If your character's success/failure is more based on your ability to perform twitch gaming than the character's stats, then it isn't truly a Role Playing Game... at least...
