I don't like microtransactions, but for a game like this I'll take it. Anything that helps me stick with it this time so I can see the rest of the game. Don't want to level too fast and miss out on areas either, but something tells me that won't be an issue. Ultimately I'd like to hit max...

In the regret department, I left a pretty great girl to get back with my ex. A couple years later it didn't work out (again) and I tried to reconnect with the girl I missed the boat on, only to discover I was blocked by her on Facebook which probably means "stay away, don't bother". Or maybe...

Skill and Slayer Deed Boost x5 Enhanced XP Supply x5 +5000 Enhanced Reputation Supply +2000 Virtue Acceleration Tome What do these things do? Sounds like EXP potions but "supply" is an odd name. Before I claim anything are they activate-able later like EQ's exp potions or are they like...

How much rested EXP can be "banked" at a time? In WoW it's something like 1.5-2 levels, or used to be anyway. Also, yall think Minas Morgul is gonna be the final area? I don't know what they could top it with. It'd be weird if the desert of Harad or plains of Rhun came out and had higher level...

That's funny, I went to my hometown for a few days recently and while I was there I saw two different girls I used to date (coincidentally, wasn't there to see anyone). One of them is a blimp now and has a kid. The other one is in great shape and hotter than before, but married now. So I guess...

Wow, thanks for all the input. Saved me $20. I got the quest packs for Mirkwood and Helm's Deep that were listed on there. Was gonna grab the Mordor and Minas Morgul expacs, but I'm not even sure I'll get that far, so I'll hold off on those until later. VIP is totally worth it to me for one...

Punched in the free stuff code, didn't get everything on the list though. Maybe some of it is only if you're VIP? I plan to get 3 months of VIP when I'm ready to actually get down and focus on this between EQ expacs. Helm's Deep is the only expansion available, as well as these two quest...

EDIT: Solved the problems, game is working normally now! Had to get the computer to enable DX11. So cool to be able to play this game on max settings. Ten years ago when I could only play it on minimal settings, it was brutal visually. Getting the quest packs and the things on sale now. Def...

I wouldn't mind playing Spider-Man again in a remastered form. Game is ludicrously fun and already looked amazing. Sux about the price tag I guess but I can't complain too much when it comes to these particular games.

Of course they could, the point is that Russia diverted the resources for that despite their crumbling infrastructure in other areas, so China could have a hyper-advanced program for some new tech while their bridges are falling apart. There's no eye roll. I wasn't actually being sarcastic...

I now completely regret posting the Waldenbooks story and derailing the thread into people's bating habits. Also it's now possible that someone from Waldenbooks corporation will read this. Their jaw will drop and they'll feverisly call their supervisor. "WE GOT HIM. The guy who bated in the...

Can you get all of your buyable Kunark spells in FV or OT, or are some only sold in one or the other? Is there any other place that sells them (i.e. some obscure frog in swamp, or some classes have to sneak into Cabilis)? I'm kunark-deficient on TLP. Ideally we can go to our base-zone (Overthere...

Sounds like people are gonna be packed into The Hole.

I was mostly kidding about it being Chinese tech, though a country's infrastructure doesn't have bearing on their military hardware. Look at the Soviet Union in the 80's with its crumbling infrastructure and hyper-powerful nukes that were 10-12x higher yield than anything we have even now. These...

Looks like my 33 hunter is still here. Left off in Rivendell. It isn't letting me fullscreen it or change the graphics settings without crashing and saying I need DirectX 9.0c, which is unavailable for Windows 10. I've got DirectX 12 on here by default. At the very least, it looks like the...

So can I redeem that code, then buy all of the expansions for 99 points each, then I'm good on more or less having everything important? Agreed on the tourist mode. One of the things I did in early Kunark era EQ was make an iksar shaman and get them to level 9 so I could cast SoW, then put that...

Last year I was at a convention and met this really cute redhead who was dressed as Alena from DQIV. We hit it off really well and got to talking about how she hadn't played DQXI yet but was going to very soon. I was like "I'd totally play that again with you" and she went "I'd like that"...

I'm not sure whether those videos are of alien ships collecting data or some super-secret Chinese drone. If they were all recent videos I'd actually err on the latter, but one is from 2004. If China has drones that can move that fast (and even moreso if they did in 2004) then they're decades...

Are "quest packs" the same as expansions? I mean like, do you have to get them in addition to expansions? I've never been fully clear on how this game works.

Is this still going on? I'd love to resume my 33 Hunter and have 3 weeks or so to kill until the Kunark launches on Phinny/Ara. Not sure how far I can get in LOTR in 3 weeks but I'm open to try. Also are the expansions free yet? The main thing keeping me from getting back into the game was...

Full-on, nope, reached down the pants, basketball shorts have a lot of room. So nothing was actually out, at least. Still one of the more fucked-up things I've done. I was off my rocker at 16. Glad nobody walked in on it. I should have been home playing Kunark. I feel like everybody did in the...

Was always a bit poor until around 2010. A system every few years with a couple games was a huge deal. I lucked out by getting such good games, especially with the early systems where I was like 8 and didn't know what I was doing. Basically just got games with the best box art. Later (circa...

I would always get one or two really good games with new systems, and until recently I'd always get systems a couple years after they came out: Game Boy - 1993 - Kirby's Dream Land and Metroid II Snes - 1994 - Super Mario World and Super Metroid PS1 - 1997 - Final Fantasy VII and FF Tactics N64...

32 robots working in unison with complete precision. ...And some countries can't even reliably build a roof.

Oh well. Back to the HG hill to battle necros and mages. Earlier I was thinking, I don't remember necros having EBolt in classic, it was like a level 51 spell to get people to buy Kunark. Looked it up and it's 50, which means yes, it got moved around during the re-organization of spells. So...

I'm looking for a place to farm plat, if anyone's got some insight into good spots in classic. Not items necessarily, plat. Just want to be able to hop on and off for short periods of time and make some money without much fuss. Hill Giant hill is super-camped all the time, even at 4 AM. Same for...

Damn, that hurt to see. Now that it's over, is there anything you would have done differently, either in the zone where you died, or during the general leveling process?

I never went for stuff like that, even as a teenager. Something about that Dragon magazine cover just got to me though.

That's cool, I wasn't planning on sleeping any time soon anyway!

I once 'bated in the back row of a Waldenbooks store when I was like 16. Don't know what the fuck I was thinking. I was reading Dragon magazines and there was one issue with a hot cover. A woman with in a robe, with great legs. I just sorta started goin' at it looking at that cover. In...

I'm not in Canada, I'm just not up to date with what's considered a good laptop in 2020. How about this one? People keep mentioning Legion, and it has similar stats to the two I mentioned with a better processor.

Just watched Season 2. Found it to be way better than the first season, with a couple duds but mostly good. The eye-rolling social commentary is still there but it's turned down about 8 notches. There were some creepy stories here that felt much closer to the original TZ. Not sure if anyone's...

Well, right now I'm back and forth between these two. They're both about the same price. Main difference is the processors and RAM. Any input? Acer Nitro 5 15.6 FHD, 9th Gen Intel Quad Core i5-9300H up to 4.1GHz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SSD + 1TB HDD, GeForce GTX 1650 4GB - $1230 VS ASUS TUF 17.3"...

The laptop I have is basically falling apart on me, parts are all going bad, tired of the hassle of dealing with it. The only games I play on here are from 10-20 years ago (EQ, LOTRO, WoW, maybe Oblivion/Skyrim at some point) so I probably don't need as much future-proofing as I think I do...

What about future-proofing it? Is 16 just gonna be the standard for a while?

I've got a question now. I read the last couple pages because I too need a new laptop (since my main one is so shoddy, see above). Don't want to spend much since this is very much an elective purchase, and don't want to downgrade to something worse than what I have spec-wise. Mine has a 7th Gen...

Your mileages may vary, but I don't recommend an MSI. I got a high-end one for $2000 back in early 2017 and while it's still high-powered enough to run things better than my other computers, it has had an insane amount of issues. Keys falling out, pieces of the case just sorta breaking off...

Most people here are on Aradune. Some on Rizlona (no boxing limit) and some on Mangler (GoD?)

Just tried this on an old char. Man, this is a game-changer. I forgot how much I missed these old spell effects.
