    Daybreak Sues The Heroes Journey EQ EMU Server Devs

    So you don't understand the appeal of action RPG games like Diablo? That's what THJ turned EQ into. I played "hard mode" vanilla EQ up until LDON and have no desire to replay that shit over again. Most of that magic can only be experienced once. Same reason I have no desire to replay WoW...

    XCOM 2

    Xenonauts is a good X-com clone, if people are looing for something else to play. Xenonauts 2 has been in EA for a few years too, but I generally don't play EAs. 80% off on GoG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/xenonauts

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    EA with permeant progression saved (no character wipes) is targeted for Q1 2026. At least 3 servers planed: no-box, multi-box allowed, and PvP. Zones are huge. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have as many square foot as EQ had on release, in outdoor zones. Inside/dungeons might be a...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Actually, there is a way to cheese JC still, if you just want to skill it up: make wires. AFAIK you can make any recipe in the game, even if it's not yet on the list because you have 0% chance to succeed. So you make copper wire until its green, then move to bronze, then iron, steel, and finally...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Oh, didn't even look at silver since it burred in the list of recipes; then I would guess that they don't have the planned changes implemented for the gold/plat. That does make it even worse. If the rare ores didn't need powder/dust then there would at least a path w/o magic items still...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The silver/gold/plat recipes in the chanting tomb don't require powder/dust to enchant the bars, just the proper skill level with the inherent fail chance. Whereas as the other ores require dust from each tier with Mithril needing Planar Powder. So no ones probably going to making/selling...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    People were "complaining" that JC was too easy and needed something more to tie it down. Which is kinda was, if stats mean anything, since you could max JC at level 1, right after you farm enough copper to buy a mining pick (w/o invis spells, coal/plat and mithril would take forever to farm...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah, I assume it's still work in progress. The rare spawn ores (Silver/Gold/Plat) don't require any additional mats, but that doesn't help tier 1 JC with copper. Haven't messed with enchanting yet, so dunno how much dust you actually get off 1 magic item and how many magic items you get if you...

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Queen Marie-Amelie was the wife of Louis Philippe I who was a Bourbon, which is the same line as the kings that ruled before the French revolution of 1789. The Bourbon line was restored to power after the fall of the Bonaparte's (Bourbon restoration). Louis Philippe I was the last King of France...

    Young Washington (2026)

    After looking up the director/writer, it probably has more of a chance of swinging the other way (over the top religious/patriotic). He has done of bunch of religious based TV/Film and it looks like he has his own production(?) company to get stuff made his way. I just want movies to be as...

    Both tailoring and leatherworking now make bags, but I just used 10+ mules instead. At least until the last tests, when I had a little gold to buy bags... then ended up leveling up tailoring through the first tier that same day, so could have made some of them myself. There is a gnome outside...

    I did the ol ground drop once, durring the first test, then just made a second account as a mule account... to start. Then I thought, why shouldn't I level a shaman for SoW and heals to duo with. Which lead to "well that works fairly well, why shouldn't I level a mage and druid duel box to have...

    Checking on the observed magnitude has been kinda interesting, even though I don't have the ability to really peer though the light pollution. Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) has been consistently brighter than predicted, flirting with being visible to the naked eye (under 6.5 magnitude), depending on...

    Besides getting double the Unity Engine memory leak (hopefully fixed), the only real issue I found with 2 boxing is auto-follow being a bit janky, where the non-focused account would run in place unless holding alt-tab or tabbed out of both boxes. Other than that, unless using a third party...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    In terms of Vanilla WoW, there were rumors that Death and Taxes had hints from GMs, but they still put in the work of wipe after wipe. Since we were usually 1 to 3 bosses behind DnT they would often give hints of their final strats to a couple of our officers (whom I heard the "rumor" from)...

    Sustained chase of speeds over 150 mph with a Nissan GT-R that gets away (but not really) in the middle of Atlanta, Georgia. It looks like Georgia Highway Patrol has approval for trying to PiT at 80+ mph, which seems questionable. Still, impressive driving by the LEO to keep the heavier cruiser...

    @fris, don't know how often you read the YGWYD thread in pol, so linking it here. Funny enough, Fucker just made a long post (above) on some of Ford's issues (that aren't necessarily exclusive to Ford). The above quote was in response to a video posted by Chanur (here) about how Ford fucks over...

    Car ?'s

    Not sure about trucks specifically, but Ford quality has been steadily declining due to the CEO trying to squeeze short term gains out of the company (supposedly). Toyota is still the top rated manufacturer that has a full sized truck line and usually their vehicles have the highest percent of...

    We Dont Need No Stinking Priests - Spirituality, prayer, meditation, new age, gnostisicm, consciousness

    Sounds to me like you're saying you want to spew Lumi levels of non-sense and have zero amount of pushback because it's in the GUS forum. Traditionally I thought those types of threads went in the rickshaw; moreover when it's a single person making outlandish claims over and over in a blog type...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    My understanding is that whatever is being released in Q1 2026 is the EA, which will wipe all the current alpha tests servers (Nov1 is also last test(?) ). Once EA starts there will be no more wipes. They will also set up no-box, box-allowed, and PvP servers at that time.

    They haven't announced that there will even be a 3rd season yet, so nah, it was all a set up for some movie(s) Gunn has planed. I expect them to empty the three Arkham like places for meta-humans onto the planet in a No Escape type movie.

    The comet found last month is currently brighter than predicted. Naked eye visibility maxes out at 6.5 magnitude (according to the internetz) and it's at 6.7 right now (lower the number, brighter the object). So there is a possibility of seeing it with a good pair of binoculars and certainly...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ouch, that looks a bit rough on the paint, and yeah, since you are ordering a new panel there is no getting around going to a body shop. When I had my front bumper replaced at Stewart's they used a laser spectrometer (or some laser color matching tool) to get a perfect match and I assume most...

    While I have never done dent pulling, you melt and cast metal, so I assume you are fairly handy. Maybe search through AutogeekOnline.net or YouTube videos on how to pull small dents and do it yourself. I have had the whole front clip off my car before and while not exactly easy, it's not all...

    Was Gunn actually responsible for Penguin TV show or was it already written and in production when he came on? If Superman and S2 Peacemaker are his only projects in his "vision" then he is shitting the bed, and any hope I had for a good DC collection of films is gone. This season reeks of Gunn...

    I don't think the low actions per minute of melee toons in this game or EQ is fun at all if you are just sitting in a camp for hours. That is unless I have a second box running to keep me busy. On the other hand, when I played my rogue in EQ, 20+ years later, I still remember breaking into...

    Yeah.

Even then, the worst they would do is some gay/trans backstory...

    Ghost of Tsushima

    She (Erika Ishii) was on Critical Roll and speaking with an American accent, so it's probably what the director wanted. Honestly, she wasn't nearly as annoying as some of the other people on Critical Roll, like Taliesin (if you can ignore her far left ideologue bullshit).

    Kinda curious on what's in the free content coupon? Went to the "news" section of the LOTRO site and didn't see anything. Did the whole move to a 64 server just in case I play this again someday, so might as well grab some more free content, if it's something big.

    Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

    King's Bounty: The Legend and King's Bounty: Armored Princess GOTY are the closest I've found to that HOMM feel. It sacrifices the base building for a more RPG hybrid campaign. Of course they are pretty old games themselves now too. Song of Conquest does a decent job at it, but didn't find it...
