    Weren't the last Samsung drives the 960 Evo / Pro series? Why are they going 850 > 960 > 860? 960 series, does look to be NVMe M.2 only, which is the only drive I would ever consider these days anyway. Those are literally more than 6x as fast in sequential read vs a maxed out SATA III port. All...

    Dude, that is classic. It was called Superman when I ate it as a kid in the 80s.

    First EverQuest, 3 screenshots

    Just doing some cleaning this week getting ready for a house move. Ran across this. No idea why I still have it, but can't bring myself to throw it away! The nostalgia is strong.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    FWIW with the spell book stuff: A GM finally got off his ass and manually reimbursed each scroll into my inventory while I was AFK. Took 3 entire days, but that was the resolution.

    I think that is exactly the limitation with HDMI though. IIRC, HDMI can only run 4k up to 24hz which is basically cinema (film) format. Fine for a home theater. Anything above that, you either have to run 2 HDMI cables, or use a single Display Port.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    I simply meant for a real change of ruleset server. Coirnav is pretty weak on population. It's fine for peak hours, but good luck getting something together outside of that time. Never had this issue on Ragefire (assume not an issue on Agnarr either). I think the slow XP rate while offering...

    I might be done here. The very slow xp grind is getting to me. Level 42 now and I can only take so much LGuk and Hole. I was begrudgingly logging in occasionally and grinding it away anyway, but today I used a race change potion to move my Origin bind over to Freeport. Apparently, there is a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    If memory serves, for headshots the damage is completely irrelevant. It is all about the lowest delay bow as possible to have faster chance to trigger the headshot ability. Bow of the Destroyer is by far optimal with a 17 delay. War Bow of RZ is a snail at 45 delay. You should be after a Bow of...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Best thing about digital and astro is the stacking you can do. Take 30 - 50 very low detail / mediocre shots and stack them in Photoshop and the results are stunning. Milky Way Exposure Stacking with Manual Alignment in Adobe Photoshop – Lonely Speck Another example: Before: After:

    Next step is photography. A friend gave me her ~$500 setup, but I can tell the mount is total crap once I have my heavy Canon 5D attached. Slightest breeze and the view is all over the place. You need a rock solid setup to get some nice clear shots. I am probably going to invest in my own scope...

    Yes, otherwise the toon would start sticking to whatever target (even aggro NPCs) they changed their target to until the /stick off command is given.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    It has been mentioned, but the ZEMs were changed for this TLP. The old tried and true optimal leveling paths are different, which is actually refreshing for a change. Blackburrow is buffed, I think Unrest is down, SolA is definitely buffed. LGuk seems mediocre, but at level 40 now a lot is...

    Early days on these servers, you are best dumping all the plat you can into buying Krono. It's a hedge against inflation. Perfect example, I paid about 800p for a Krono to someone desperate for plat in off-hours last week. Within a couple days it was up to 1k for a Krono. Today, it's around...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Server is pretty damn quiet. DOA? Popped into SolB earlier to check out freeti camp and there was main pick with ~15 people in it and one pick with 8 people in it. All FGs, Magus and Naggy were sitting up chilling. I think the end of bonus XP pushed out all of the casuals from the server.

    For those of you out of the MQ2 loop, that stick command is baller. The "uw" flag is for underwater. Your toons will follow up and down the Z axis. (also works to keep your chars at the same altitude with levitate) Ditch that primitive ISBoxer crap.

    Banable if you are automating sure, but I always manually used BCT commands to tell a shaman to /assist /cast slow, cleric to /tar jysin /cast heal etc. The people who full-on AFK automation are the ones getting banned.

    Forum people aren't guilded together at all. I haven't had a guild whatsoever and simply built my own groups to now level 36. I have found a couple people we essentially have been leveling together and building groups around each other since our teens. So, not a set group per se, but reliable...

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

    I don't think it should be an apples to apples comparison either. Due to PC / network limitations of 1999, you had to split zones up. ie: East Commons, West Commons, cities broken into multiple zones, etc.. Today, you could build far larger zones with 10x the players. Let's not forget: quality >...

    No clue why you guys use ISBoxer over MQ2. Hell, the /stick command in MQ2 is worth it alone. Plus you can /bct /bca (broadcast commands) a plethora of commands to do anything you like. What does ISB have that made you choose it? Just curious.

    Thankfully, as a bard, I can open them with picklock. But I read they are adding a key drop to Hand for FP door. No idea which mob will drop a key for basement.

    Speaking of.. anyone have the lowdown on the new ZEMs? Blackburrow is definitely better xp than before. Unrest seems underwhelming. I suspect it was toned down. SolA seems to be getting good reviews. I just hit level 30, so not sure what LGuk / SolB look like quite yet.

    Are the side bolsters made to keep you planted in the seat from the high G-forces while grabbing for the bag of Cheetos? =D I honestly do not get the appeal of these race seat desk chairs. Nevermind the fact it is fucking neon green. Glad you like it though!

    This XP rate is slow as fuck. Filled out a group in Qeynos and continued all the way to Blackburrow to level 7. Considering there is the serverwide XP boost, plus I was running a potion, I feel this XP rate is too slow. I can't imagine what grinding out the upper levels will be like without the...
