    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The tutorial opens up with the appropriate expansion. It wasn't available on other prog servers at release and won't be on Agnarr.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Phinny is much slower than Ragefire or Lockjaw and this new server is using the RF/LJ rates. If you want to see what the exp rate is going to be like those are the better way to go.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Seven long-ass books for a derp ending revealing to us that the more interesting story was one that King wasn't even going to tell. Sorry kids, your princess is in another castle.

    Tox was just pea soup. Your vision barely extended past your face even in the best lighting conditions. I don't know why you would do that to your players.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Stephen King tweeted a photo of the Horn of Arthur Eld with the caption of "One Last Time Around" or something like that. The movie or movies is the final journey. Also, if I ever saw Stephen King in real life I'd yell insane sperg fan gibberish at him about how much he sucks.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Mage and Necro pets have reduced defensive values from their current strength on Live. On raid targets they will do reduced damage and the aggro they generate will be redirected to you.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    It'll change you to Cazic Thule because all Iksar are Cazic. You won't end up with anything weird like a 7th Hammer Iksar.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    You can buy a potion in the Daybreak store for 2500 daybreak cash (equivalent to 25 dollars, you get 500 DBC per month for having an active subscription and a 10% discount on items on the store) that changes your race. It doesn't do anything else. You keep your name, whatever faction work you've...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Yeah, I was checking the store every day once Kunark launched waiting to swap. I was still leveling when the potions came online so it couldn't have been long at all. I don't know when you gave up the ghost but race and class exp penalties don't exist so you don't get punished for being a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    When a zone reaches a certain threshold of players (varies by zone) a new instance is spawned that you can enter with the command /pickzone. When an instance spawns it's fully loaded with everything that isn't a raid boss. This includes things like long spawn epic quest guys even. This new...

    Comic remains decent all the way up the current issue. Trade your investment in the show in and get yourself a trade paperback.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Hail leezard brother, On LJ the race change potions unlocked I think two weeks in and three at the latest. I believe the cost is 2500 daybreak cash and you get 500 for each month you have a subscription as well as I think 10% discount on purchases from the store (so 2250). If you don't spend...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I did my boost on FV because the server doesn't have (for the most part) no drop equipment and went around trying to find old bosses to punch and that shit is on fucking lock. I'm convinced there are multiple people just executing every raid boss from Kunark and Velious every single respawn.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    It's a freebie one per account thing for the anniversary. I've got no idea on the other stuff. The last time I tried to give the game a go I quit in the mid 60s because of how fucking slow it was. That had to be ten years ago.

    Boy I wish they had gone with their earlier script rather than all of the philosophic word salad and generic religious symbolism.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    No, it's lazy writing and the two sequels are full of it because they don't really know what to do with their Jesus allegory once he goes Super Saiyan. Jesus 2.0 is literally jobbed out by a rogue A.I. and doesn't even get his heat back later.

    Rules? RULES? The rules of the Train Man's pocket dimension are no different than the rules of ANY computer system. Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken. Except not here for some reason. The power of The One extends beyond The Matrix. He psychically fries squids in the desert of the...

    The early seasons with Joel were a bit subdued at times but could still be very good. Mr. B is maybe my favorite MST3K anything.

    @mkopec Zaide's a 20-hours-a-day-in-a-full-premade-sleeping-in-shifts-until-this-shit's-on-farm kinda guy. The racing aside going super big at the open is just so damned helpful.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Something that might be interesting would be the addition of a few additional raid encounters. It wouldn't take much. You could just pick yourself up the model for Vox, add a bunch of crazy shit, and have it spawn somewhere shitty and useless. Maybe put a super lethal Faydeder into Erud's...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    The highway action sequence in Reloaded was cool but it required removing Neo from the board so the other characters could do something and then he still saves the day in the end. They just had no idea how to write Neo after he had all the powers of The One. He has to flee from Smith but he's...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I think Zaide's got the fastest prog server dragon kills at 40 and 44 hours and those versions didn't have Mitigation of the Mighty or pet aggro changes. I'd think 3-4 days? You'll actually need a real tank and real healers.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I think that betting on nerfed pet defenses, the pet aggro changes on raid targets, and then Mitigation of the Mighty + Mark of the Old Ways is reasonable. Did Phinny have the pet aggro changes for its entire duration? I'm curious how quickly they were able to take down Vox and Nagafen and what...

    I know, let's have Morpheus do absolutely fucking nothing in the entire final movie and have no conclusion of any kind! He can be Naomi's co-pilot for a big chase scene! Good job everyone, hand-jobs all around.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    I've seen a couple different bits of fiction where what everyone else was able to come up with ended up being better than the creators later additions to their own work. It's like you watch this movie or read this book and your mind is opened up to all kinds of possibilities. There's just all...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    No edit - it's a simple bit of dialogue between Neo and the Oracle. Neo is all like BUT THE OLD GUY SAID X and the Oracle is all like LOL HE CAN'T FIND HIS ASS WITH TWO HANDS AND A FLASHLIGHT That's verbatum.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    You can also get a free heroic character on a brand new account so you could set up a couple of them if you wanted. I can't actually see playing one though. You entire into the game and all your gear has clicks and you have a full hotbar of abilities with no tool tips and a mountain of AA and...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Kunark was the big surprise to me on this last batch of prog servers. The nostalgia in my noodle was anchored there because it was a period I played a great deal of but I wasn't a raider or anything. In actually that expansion is shallow as fuck.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Although not included in that list Agnarr will also have full raid instancing like Phinny. It was confirmed in their Livestream thing today. Also, you can log in until the end of the month and get a free decked out level 85 (heroic) character. It's handy to have one if your account is a prog...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    That script had some problems but it had some interesting artifacts in it as well. Instead of taking place an indeterminate amount of time after the first movie this version takes place immediately. See, there's a finite amount of time after someone becomes The One before the machines adapt so...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    In one of the unused scripts for Reloaded that scene went a bit differently. Instead of it being a big fight with zero consequences (that kinda looks like shit) Neo is killing Smith after Smith after Smith until the bodies are literally piling up. He sees what looks like a dead Trinity in the...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    The film writes itself. You do a prequel / soft reboot with a young Morpheus as the protagonist. He's played by Jaden Smith. His mentor, someone we have not previously seen, is played by Will Smith. You basically retell the story of the first Matrix except you kill off Will Smith in a scene...
