    New Progression Server confirmed

    Population will drop dramatically post Velious, maybe have a resurgence in PoP and then absolute ghost down if they go beyond that. THAT is why they need limited progression. Regarding old zones, I highly doubt they would do it. They would need a separate patch file for the server for the...

    I loved my DIR-655. Rock solid router.. until I got into torrents. Had the same experience as you, to be honest. When my Fiber connection came in, I finally upgraded to this: Cisco Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band Wireless-N Router review - CNET It is pretty old now and I...

    DSLR Camera

    That 50mm 1.8 is dirt cheap, but a hell of a lot of people go one notch up with the Canon 50mm 1.4. This lens is always in my bag: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Autofocus.html

    I've got points, data, and snatches for my next two upgrades. Just waiting on the time on site. I get "Elite" in <2 weeks.

    Yea, I know this. Hence why I said once it gets into the hands of the masses and real reviews start coming in. Till then, it's a guessing game. Hopefully it's everything we wish it to be!

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Yea, I worry about making the same mistake. It's easy to forget I am VPN'd for other reasons and just happen to browse around and forget. I've basically made a habit of simply adding my BTN torrents in the morning before work only.

    As someone who played an Enchanter to 55, be prepared to suck shit in pvp when caught out solo. You have a ton of tools to lock people down (stun / mez / etc) but you have very little in the form of DPS unless you happen to have a charm pet up and running. Yet, even then you are a single dispell...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Just FYI, I don't pay for a Seedbox, or Dropbox, and VPN will get you banned over at BTN. I get people are used to their newsgroups. I just don't see why it is worth paying for when I can take a few minutes and clicks for the exact same effect. (All my downloads are dumped to my 15TB NAS...

    The only thing I am hesitant with is the brand. Acer? Since when have they been the pinnacle of display tech? I'd feel more confident if it were an NEC or Samsung.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I use the SSL version trackers too over IPT / BTN. Any file on IPT over 8GB in size is "freeleach" and I only ever download BluRay quality movies in 1080p, so that is pretty much every single download. I have entire BR season rips of TV series too and on BTN, it has nothing to do with actual...

    I'm in the middle east and this same shit happened. Friday I was at a pool BBQ with friends in 90* weather, Saturday rolls around and it's mid 60s for a high.

    Nice looking monitor Jeydax. A good IPS monitor (or two) is the only thing on my upgrade radar for the forseeable future. It will be nice once it gets properly reviewed in the hands by the masses.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    They were insinuating that Renault drivers are elderly people who are as clueless about quality cars are they are in their driving skill. As someone who lived in the UK for 6 years, I concur. As for the 3 supercars on the test track, I worry that each will give their consent at varying...

    Best game I have played in recent memory. The DLC post-game story is just as interesting as well.

    Pretty sure I did through mid / upper 30s in Mistmoore. The zone has a huge modifier, but it can also have a lot of pvp griefers. If you can get that inner castle courtyard group going, you are safe(er) from the PK twinks.

    The group XP bonus is so great that no one gives two shits what class you are. If there are 3 warriors in group, that bonus XP is still > only being a half full group of "balanced" classes. My advice is to simply play what you enjoy the most. I haven't logged in for a couple weeks, but played...

    Most out of shape person looks like fat black dude on No Collar. Considering first challenges are usually all about team effort, he could be a major hinderance. Theres a pretty damn scrawny white girl on that team too on the bottom left. Otherwise, I think team White Collar are equally screwed...

    As far as I know, the XP bonus is all about grouping. The more in group, the higher. If you are soloing, you are doing it wrong.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I ran MQ2 on KPemu. I probably used it at its most basic level. It was just easier to use a global hotkey to have your box toons cast / heal instead of alt-tabbing through windows. For this reason alone, I liked it. I know MQ2 goes far beyond that and can fully automate. I didn't have any...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I rolled red to avoid the blue shitfest at high levels / camp / raidscene. I really don't care about pvp at all. It was simply a population and saturation decision.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    EQ2's fundamental engine flaw was that it was developed at a time when PC processing power was simply increasing in CPU frequency. Up to that point it was a never ending increase in clock cycles and didn't appear to be changing anytime soon. Well, that is until the early 2000s just before EQ2...

    Honest to god, an SSD has been the biggest leap in computers since the 3D graphics card. Every single person I have ever talked to would never even consider a traditional HDD again as their main OS Boot drive. It's just that noticeable!

    Of course they need a new server. It's this bad now and it's still stagnant Kunark. Can you imagine the shitshow that place will be on Velious release?
