    In the case of a human being playing one Magician and another human being playing one Necromancer the Necromancer is the better class. But oh man do Mages take the cake when it comes to stacking and for boxing. You get almost all of their vast power for very, very little effort.

    Even if the servers go terminal there will be people doing content (Kunark, Velious, Luclin, PoP at least) for a long time.

    Players on a server advertised as no box will rabidly ferret out boxers.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure a no box server will keep away the Mage armies.

    Yes, they are going to start a server that prohibits boxing and there's going to be people boxing 20 Mages on it. You are the one that is delusional.

    Do you have any idea how rabidly the player base of an EQ server with that restriction will hunt down boxers? Sure, there's going to be some people boxing a second character here and there. The six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, thirty, and thirty-six boxers will not exist.

    This isn't a casual versus hardcore issue. The servers have people boxingdozensof characters all paid with Krono earned by monopolizing group, multi-group, and even raid content. They won't exist on a no box server. Raid content has been tuned under the assumption you've got 20+ pet classes and...

    Go the Stormhammer route. Have a guild make an appointment with a GM to spawn a copy of a raid boss in the Arena in Lake Rathetear. If you can beat it you get on the rotation. If you can't hack it you can get another chance in a week.

    When they release their eventual No Boxing TLP server next year everyone will have forgotten about how ridiculous this got and rush to go play there.

    With the existence of Kronos almost no one is actually ponying up real money to field their box crews. It's a big part of why there's so much of it.

    I could replace all of this EQ jargon with Dungeons and Dragons or Magic the Gathering nonsense and no one would be able to tell the difference.

    All of this is a consequence of spending too much time in Classic. By spending so much time here all of the quirks and problems of the era have grown cancerous rather than smooth out over time. Mages being too good for the time period turned the servers into a sea of Mage bots. Single...

    We had someone lose a Encyclopedia Necrotheurgia (the Necro only pet focus from Hate that might as well be a fucking unicorn for how rare it is) along with a Blighted Robe. There are some people that lost just tons and tons and tons of time and equipment. God loot, completed Sky items, dragon...

    The rotation isn't really about classic as much as it is about Kunark. Having all of this groundwork in place before it goes live will prevent one guild from cockblocking the entire expansion for the three months it'll take to get to Velious. Daybreak saw how Classic went without any structure...

    Did anybody on Lockjaw have time to run to Jaggedpine? When things went crazy the only thing I wanted to try and didn't was getting the journeymen rank 1 achievement. I was thinking maybe achievements were stored somewhere else and would escape a rolleback.

    Killed Bees first try tonight and the rest of Sky as well. Boss Bee's melee has to just be a mistake. He clubbed a geared warrior for 2450, 2450 with a double attack and is still just immune to everything. It's pretty stupid. If Trakanon hit for 4k I wouldn't even be surprised.

    What the fuck are they talking about? Bodily perfection? She's weird looking and built like a stick. In that scene in American Beauty Kevin Spacey's character was fantasizing about a 16 year old girl. It was and still is pretty creepy.

    Yeah, it's not EQ unless disputes are settled by GM enforced duels or whoever is First in Force (however that gets defined at that moment) or all of the other silly ways GMs arbitrated conflicts. Need some Play Nice Policies up in here.

    He mangled someone while drunk in a sports car or something stupid and then cried about how unfair it was while in prison and the tape made it to the judge. He's a retard.

    Instead of addressing what Mages and people boxing piles of Mages was doing to content they have rebalanced Hate, Fear, and Sky around the assumption that you are showing up with 30+ Mages. It has warped the entire game and this isn't really even Everquest anymore. It's someone's homebrewed...

    Killed Draco. The fight is a nightmare and straight up requires 20-30 Mages with more being preferable. Fifty would probably be ideal with zero melee dps characters and zero tanks. Just healers and Mages. We generated a mountain of corpses killing. Drops were It took so long to clear...

    Killed Terror, he dropped nothing. Wraith of Shissar is also buffed. If you don't have your epic items already those quests are going to be a pain in the fucking ass to complete in Kunark.

    I wish I knew if Draco had a real loot table instead of a 90% chance of dropping zero things. In it's current state it feels 100% like a resist check but if he's just not going to drop anything most of the time there's no reason to push people to get the necessary disease resistance and magic...

    Seriously, fuck anyone in that scene that wants to hate on Kane Blue River. That dude has been working hard foryearswith his team.

    Using the new Timetwister in a Turbofog shell is a very cool idea. That deck is probably pretty fun to play (for at least one player).

    Terror, Dread, and Fright all should drop a couple of pieces of armor and Draco should drop at leastsomethingeach time he's killed. As it stands right now the most likely outcome when killing any mini boss in Fear is you get nothing.

    Lockjaw will get another vote to unlock Kunark early in September (at the latest) when subscriptions tank and that one will go through. It'll still be too much Classic but it should be just short enough to prevent guilds from going into hibernation en masse.

    What I want to know if there's a gag in the film about a ghost leaving the toilet seat up or any one-liners involving menstruation ("it's the wrong time of the month to mess with the Ghostbusters", something like that). It would be incredibly easy to write a hack script for this where you xerox...

    Thinking about it more if you took an axe to a bunch of the scenes where Kyle Reese and Sarah Conner have dialogue and trim 20-30 minutes off the run time it would probably be solidly in the "good" category. The whole thing is really held down by all those scenes of those two talking to each...
