    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...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Dinged 49 on the monk this weekend. I'm pretty ready for Kunark to come out this week.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    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.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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.

    I finally gave in, and got FFXIV on my PS4 last night just to mess around with. I'm playing a pugulist right now. Just going to play it super casually.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    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...

    I wonder how badly people will rage when (and if) after all these years Pantheon finally comes out, and they realize after playing it for the first ten minutes that it still does not replace their desire to play EverQuest.

    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...

    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...

    I find it funny that you are calling someone a nerd on a gaming forum. I mean... hello. Oh, and you might have missed the memo, but nerd hasn't been a negative thing since like the 80s. Welcome to 2019.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Playing the free demo for Eve many years ago for all of about 15 minutes mining an asteroid was enough to make me not even think twice about saying HELL NO to the idea of Star Citizen in the first place. I have no idea what you people see as fun in these spaceship games.

    I'm not going to argue whether some people prefer twitch game play in a MMORPG or not. All I know is that I don't prefer twitch game play in MMORPGs. And, that's based on playing twitch based MMORPGs off and on for the past decade. They are fun for a while, but then I end up longing for the...

    I like the idea of the WoW Classic servers, and I will definitely give it a shot to get some old school WoW nostalgia out of my system. The only problem I find with the idea of TLP/Classic servers in EverQuest and now World of Warcraft is that I feel that the companies fail to capitalize on...

    To add to that, I really wish Questing as we know it would go the way of the dodo bird. Just throw out questing all together. If you want to have quests, have it ingrained in to the game itself as things you do that naturally lead to a conclusion with out having to click on any text, say...
