    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Everything through Velious was swimmingly fun. Just seemed to snowball into a disaster afterwards upon gaining popularity / preferred server status. At least I went out on a high raiding Sleeper's Tomb! I especially liked that I farmed out of era gear in Veksar for weeks before the dev...

    This will be my next case. Still slightly large, but it is sleek and can hold a 2x140mm radiator on the top. Obsidian Series® 550D Mid-Tower Quiet Case

    Desktop Computers

    The only time my computer reboots is when forced by Windows Updates. Aside from that, I judge my computer's performance by.. you know.. computing vs how it starts itself. It's like saying a Ferrari needs a few extra seconds to warm up (hypothetical), so lets just ignore how it actually performs...

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Agree Zaide, the /stick command works about 1000x better than autofollow ever did. Reason enough for MQ2 right there.

    RL Batman Dies

    The ironic thing is, in the article I read about his death, he reportedly pulled over on the LEFT hand side of the road where he was struck. (Which usually has minimum if no shoulder) There he is again in the pic in the OP sitting on the LEFT side of the road with half the car in traffic. Moral...

    Mist has suggested repeatedly on this thread about doing similar practices. Thanks for being one of many reasons we pay more for hardware for your welfare upgrades. You have decent advice overall in this thread, but you should quit being a dickbag about your upgrades via scam RMA.

    I upgraded to W10 on my HTPC (Intel NUC) and seem to get 5.1 just fine. I use Kodi and audio is sent out via HDMI to my AVR. *Edit* Doing further reading on the issue, it seems to be driver related, not Microsoft. Mostly those using Realtek audio with complaints. You can't fault W10 for...

    Everquest II

    On top of what Flobee explained, Exile was part of the old betrayal quest system. For example: If you rolled a "good" character aligned with Qeynos and then later decided you wanted that character "evil" aligned with Freeport, there was a long'ish quest where you would basically sabotage / kill...

    Car Buying Help

    I took 3% as the national average for a 72 month loan according to Bankrate.com It's difficult to compare dealer pricing, as they just charge you more for the vehicle and lure you in with APR figures. They get their money and you are paying them whether you want to call it "interest" or...

    Car Buying Help

    Yet, you can afford a BMW / Merc / Audi with the prices of some of these fully loaded US models. On the pick-up truck argument, you are sitting at $55k for an F-150 Platinum 4WD with ZERO OPTIONS selected! This is what I am talking about. How the F do you justify these prices?

    Car Buying Help

    ~42k (tax, tag, title, etc) loan @3% for 72 months (national average rate) is about $4k in interest payments. Makes even less sense! Yay for a society that lives in debt?

    Car Buying Help

    Yea, vehicle pricing still eludes me. Since 2008 and the Great Recession, it would be generous to say that salaries have remained fairly stagnant. Yet, somehow car prices have skyrocketed. The newest gen BMW X5 is about 10k over the previous gen similarly equipped. My Land Rover is about 8k more...

    Car accident and repair questions.

    There are probably hundreds of Toyotas in your local junkyard. As Rais said, just pick up a door from there and get it painted. I'd ignore the rocker damage.

    Absolutely with Joeboo on this one. Previously, I would go high end air with the best fans. Now I have had my Corsair H100 for for over 3 years now on my 3770K running at 4.5GHz 24/7 and it runs dead silent. I would recommend it to anyone and would absolutely buy it again in the future.

    Smartphones

    The issue is, I am betting the USB wall socket is only 1A output to be safe for shitty Apple products. Anything else that takes a bigger charge like Samsung (2A) or hell, even their new Supercharger versions that go higher. The result is you have devices that charge slow as shit.

    I used a Boxee before my HTPC build. You can absolutely use more than 2TB by putting the storage on the network (NAS or PC share), not hanging off the stupid USB slot. As for my monster sized NAS, yea HD content takes up a ton of space. Good quality 1080p DTS-HD MA BluRay rips of a movie are...

    USB3 is literally 10x the speed of USB2. It will simply depend on how quick your cards can read / write. I avoid USB2 anything like the plague now.

    Everquest II

    Yea, my bad for reading out of context. Kreugen hit on a great point. So many people were chasing their own interests for quests and many required group support. You would have an entire group all working on completely disjointed quests spread all over the fucking place. That was not fun at all.

    Desktop Computers

    They (external drives) are far more prone to failure for a start, but also quite a lot slower transfer rate unless you are using eSATA. It just depends on what the person is trying to do with it. The argument was about 100% SSD or SSD + spinning HD desktop configuration.
