    Yea.. no! You can keep your Win7 just as it is. I havent seen a single glowing review of Win8 (Nor 8.1) outside of people using tablets. Win8 is your Vista or Millennium Edition. Win7 is your XP.

    That explains why Boots of the Mosquito are always 100k+ in the bazaar. I was wondering wtf was up with those.

    Pyzjn was her name. A little lvl12-14 Necromancer that was rare as shit to spawn and even rarer to drop the GBS. I've wasted MANY hours camping her, killed her a dozen times and only ever gotten a rusty dagger. From the lore, I always found it intruiging that she was also linked to that other...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Did you really shell out $570+20% import on this thing? Jeez. I recently went tent shopping online and looked at all kinda of crazy setups costing $200-$300 and eventually settled and said fuck it and bought a Coleman from Amazon for $45. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Sundom...6437866&sr=1-7

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Partial truth. Not sure about the 3 series, but BMW put performance runflats on all their SUVs out of the factory. They dont even come with a spare tire anymore without paying for it as a $150 option. All of that said, I cant wait until these wear down to put on a set of regular...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The fuck? E92 is a tiny ass 3 series. My X6 has monster 20 inch 315/30 rears and 275/40 fronts and the whole set is cheaper for Dunlop SP Sport Maxx runflats. *edit* $1,216.00 for all 4 in some Bridgestone runflats.

    Don't get me wrong, the art direction is a concern of mine too. 100% with you on the Kerran and his armor appearance. I just dont see the point going in circles talking about combat mechanics / ability slots and all kinds of nonsense that has really not even slightly been explained by the...

    I dunno. I raided in one of the top guilds of the game and we still found the lore intruiging. PoP had some pretty cool stuff going on up until zombie jesus and the wtf lolz TIMETRAVEL!

    Gold Rush (Discovery)

    Did anyone else get the "tweaker" vibe from Todd at the live season finale? He was all twitchy and fidgety and constantly wiping his nose. I think he found something else in South America! Hell, there were a couple of his own crew that said they wouldn't be returning. Seriously though, I find...

    The worst part of the VT key was trying to equip an entire cutting edge raid guild. The stupid shards were spread out all over normal xp zones and scrub / family guild types would camp certain areas hoping to loot shards themselevs, nevermind the fact they would be lucky to see VT in the...

    That answers my question. Mac server is stuck in 2004 (Planes of Power) and there are no such things as Mercs.

    I assume you are talking about Pet Classes? I can take my mid-50s Necro there and simply AFK while my pet kills stuff or are you talking about some kind of scripting? Care to elaborate a bit? (Also, I am playing on Mac server but I am guessing this doesnt make a difference)

    Everquest II

    I havent done the end-game Hard Mode raiding since Velious, but itemization aside, the raids were pretty fun. The only complaint I would make was that a large portion of the "difficulty" was the burden placed on healers and cures. Miss a cure = almost guaranteed wipe.

    Everquest II

    As said already, disable shadows. Its a CPU pig. The game was designed to run on a single core (not sure if they ever optimized) and to make matters worse, the shadow engine runs off of CPU cycles. You can sometimes see a doubling of FPS by disabling them. It's a shame too because they look great.

    Most gameplay vids are of people raiding with their graphics settings in the floor for max FPS / reduced delay. Despite some questionable character models, I always loved the graphics and had a beefy enough system that my raid settings were fairly respectable too. You have to remember there are...

    I am American and worked all around the world, so have played on AB (Euro) server since it opened. It's always had a great community and atmosphere. Kroz is spot on in his assessment. Go have fun and poke around with the Euros. In your case, you can always transfer away when you move in...

    As much as I would love to see EQ3 happen, you know they will not do it. They do not have Blizzard's revenue and have a fraction of devs. They have already pulled dev manpower from their other titles to work on EQN. There's just no way they would split that up even further. They are going to...

    EQ2 did the 24 man raids (4 groups of 6) and I just didnt care for it nearly as much as the larger EQ1 raids. With so few people, it was pretty specific and restrictive on the necessary classes. Again, EQ2 as an example had 24 classes and 24 raid slots but you would be damn sure there was always...

    I really enjoyed the raids, honestly. The encounters were fun and interesting, but it was just a simple burn out from the itemization that killed it for me. We were #1 server guild but it felt like bashing our heads against a wall for months on end to defeat Hard Mode encounters, where the...

    I live in Doha, Qatar (highest GDP in the world) which is basically an extreme boom oil / natural gas country. They are the next Dubai in terms of westernization and the city is scattered with 5 star hotels all over the place. Gordon Ramsay has two restaurants here and one of them will do a 3...

    Off the top of my head, they didnt re-itemize the entire game. The mess started in Velious forward, so you have everything previous to play around with.

    I played a warrior. Vanilla was pretty bland. Auto-attack, bash (eventually kick), and taunt. That was about it. Eventually you got disciplines and Defensive was the only one used 98% of the time. Positioning helped quite a bit. A good warrior would pull the mob into the camp where the rest of...

    I just hate when the two companies start playing the name game and recycling old products. I've seen people talking about buying the new nVIDIA 770 cards, which are simply rebadged and slightly tweaked old 680 cards.

    I think using Brad and Curt as the only examples is fairly misguided. It's two examples on the extreme end of the spectrum of BS, PR, and RL drama. On the other end of the spectum we had Hartsman. He came here, posted fairly openly, knew his shit, made EQ2 a signficantly better game (EoF /...
