    World of Warcraft: Classic

    One of the little side bonuses of the EQ TLP servers is that gear is plentiful enough with the reduced lockout timers and faster world spawns that even the low tier characters can just fucking gorge themselves on loot. It's sorta neat seeing the vanilla era Rogue or Ranger decked out in their...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Sleeper/Combine were June, Fippy/Vulak were Feb, Ragefire/LJ were in May, Phinny was December, Agnar was May, Coirnav was March, Selo/Mangler were March, and Miragul was November. I don't really expect a March release given that Mangler is still early in PoP but who knows. I hope Selo was...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I think of him less as a person and more of an avatar. It's like watching someone ascend. He's becoming the patron saint of neckbearding.

    If he takes care of his fake teeth the way he takes care of everything else I don't see why they wouldn't start falling apart too I guess.

    Comics can be pretty good too! The build up to Secret Wars (2015) was overall really fun.

    MTG: Arena

    It's not my favorite piece of software but MTGO has been functional for like twenty years. I'd hope with the institutional knowledge gained from that product they could get Pioneer to Arena quicker than a couple years. I'd hope.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    The week or so of Ragefire prior to the addition of LJ was enough time to demonstrate to everyone what the best strategies actually were in the new TLP meta and a ton of people took that knowledge with them when they rolled on LJ. It was the smaller server but if it had a larger percentage of...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Ragefire was so ridiculously huge it gave birth. Even it's spawn, Lockjaw, was goddamn massive. Unfortunately the nature of winner-take-all Everquest raiding really threw a bucket of cold water on the whole thing. By the time LJ was in Kunark and Phinny was launching there was still this massive...

    Did Everquest 1 - Project Monster (?) ever make it to alpha or beta? PC mobs

    It was one of the best ideas that never went anywhere. While the propensity for misuse was high they really should have brought it back for special events. With a few tweeks it could have really been something. Incorporated in to an expansion with a few high risk high reward zones in which...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I like all of the extra little bits of optimization that the best of the best of the best have gone through in search of a number one slot. There's something about weapons grade autism in action that makes me grin. What I don't like is that Blizzard seems fine with it? Alright alright Method...

    It's another "you need to be this tall to ride the roller coaster" requirement to be competitive entirely outside of the raid itself and the skills to excel at it.

    The GM of Limit tweeted that they blew 250,000,000 gold in their search of a world first. That's an incredible barrier.

    There's probably some room to blend Normal and LFR together and then Heroic and Mythic together to just have Normal, Mythic, and Competition.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I would sorta like them to rework their difficulty scale or otherwise introduce a tier above mythic that was the competition tier. People feel like the game is too often balanced (at least at the start of a content cycle) around the top 0.01% of players. To alleviate that and the "you beat it...

    It's got me planning on playing some retail WoW in the near future but no world first race has ever made me want to try my hand at mythic. In that regard it has always been the opposite.

    Watching the fight from the raid leader's perspective with the comms helped the viewing experience. I was able to decipher enough of what was going on to follow along without a ton of time spent watching which helped build some investment in the outcome. Just wandering in to a Method stream...

    Speaking purely as an outsider "boy howdy we sure are having a good time here in mythic come on down and get yourself a handful of this fun" has never been the message I've gleaned from my observations.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    There's been a post from the new community manager about there being some kind of announcement this month and a clarification that the announcement could also just be no. Selo was certainly a success but there may be some trepidation on their part given Mangler is at the start of PoP. This...

    Loot as a seasonal phenomenon in conjunction with the activity lobby nature of the current game and personal loot is fine. If WoW Classic implemented it and all the Thunderfuries and Corrupted Ashbringer were handed out with a dice roll people would lose their shit but that's not what retail is.

    Just posting a page I like try and stop me. So for the next film you need to cast a sexy Poison Ivy and do a gussied up version of their BTAS episode together where they go on a crime spree also lesbians. Less 'splosions more romance.

    "To make it more difficult for the best couple hundred people on the planet to do splits" is so fucking retarded I'm afraid it's true. It alts are really easy people will use them for all kinds of things and that's bad because reasons!

    Take flying away for an expansion (the whistle works fine) and then bring it back the expansion after with it properly incorporated from the ground floor. Basically you switch to New Coke and then Coke Classic.

    What! You cut off the punch line! You monster! So what, on retail you've got essences plus corruption mechanics to dissuade making and playing alts when people really like making and playing alts? Are alts just casual things and casual things are bad so fuck them?

    "and her sanity got a little bit frayed" Need a fifth line that rhymes with the first (ideally with a play on words but "blade" doesn't really allow for one) if you're going to use the Nantucket limerick rubric.
