Perhaps this isnt a "one size fits all" comparison. I really didnt mind it at all in the BMW because it was seamless and didnt feel like any delay to me getting my foot on the gas. That doesn't mean there are others having the same experience in cheaper brand cars. I can certainly see a poor...

I downloaded this one and hadnt seen any trailers or anything about the movie. Going in blind, I actually liked it quite a lot! There were a few plotholes here and there, sure, but this is better than the other big budget movies of the year so far!

^^^ This. The sheer amount of concentrated mass you need is just staggering.

We already have the moon slowing the Earth's rotation down for us. Considering the sheer size of the moon and how slowly it is occurring, I doubt we will take on anything that would have any appreciable effect on the Earth. (With exception of it crashing down out of orbit)...

Head on collision with passenger trains in Switzerland. http://news.sky.com/story/1121900/sw...engers-injured

I am most curious to hear about itemization. I left EQ2 during Velious because of their terrible itemizations changes that made cookie-cutter copy / paste item slot to specific stats bullshit. Those exact same stats on the item simply scaled in difficulty and had no unique attributes. SoE...

On the 3 series BMW I drove in London last year with this feature, as soon as you even slightly lift off the brake pedal pressure it would restart. I wouldnt even have my foot on the gas yet and it would be humming. Again, the Stop / Start function could be turned off via the iDrive control Menu.

Has it been revealed when, on EQ1/EQ2 timeline, this world is supposed to exist? Or are we still in the dark on that kind of basic info? Much of those racial starting areas would have been destroyed in EQ2 and forward lore.

What is the difference vs buying the original EQ box + Sub? Edit: Shit, Quaid beat me to it.

I am not at all saying your are lying. I am simply stating my experience, as short as it has been over the last two weeks. My level experience has been: solo outside city 1-6, QH / Blackburrowgroupeduntil teens, Unrest solo andgroupuntil 20'ish, Paludal Cavern solo andgroupuntil 25, then...

Double.

You do realize the M3 is not being discontinued, right? The 3 series has split where it previously had a sedan and coupe version both available ( 4dr vs 2dr respectively). Now they are keeping the 3 series as the 4 door sedan and came up with the 4 series as a more sport oriented 2dr version of...

This 4k vs 1080p / viewing distance argument sounds EXACTLY like the old 480 / 720 / 1080 arguments verbatim. 4K is the future and it has a significantly bigger impact than you think. I have seen both the Sony and Samsung versions in person and they are jaw dropping. (Coming from a guy with a...

I would have thought multicore issues were fixed a long time ago. The only thing I know you can try to do is launch the game, then CNT+ALT+DEL to get to the Task Manager. Find EQ under the applications tab, right click "go to process". This should take you to the Processes tab and highlight the...

Slippery slope, sure.. but SoE still has not put any gear of any significance up for SC in the last 5 years? Why start now? There are plenty of people that buy the fluff bullshit, why destroy the game and playerbase (who are buying SC crap in the first place). Given their track record so...

First, let me state up front.. I am against the cash shops entirely because I find them pointless. But what I don't get are all the people talking about "Pay to Win". Going off of the EQ2 SC shop, its nothing but fluff visual crap like appearance slot junk, particle effect crap, non-interactive...

I really dont see the rampant boxing everyone is referring to as of yet. I see an occasional pocket cleric for out of group heals / rez or druid for transport / buffs, but thats about it. Mind, you I am only 36 and played a couple weeks now. But I have had groups in as low as Blackburrow...

Come to EQ Mac.

Is there even a Beta signup at this point? I'd always manged to get into beta for every other EQ product, hopefully the same with EQN.

Building your own box is definitely the cheapest route, however the most convenient (and what I use) is something like a Synology NAS. It has torrrent capabilities, multiple raid levels, web admin, and dozens of other features above and beyond most home use. They can vary from simple 2 bay drive...

Was this Vulak progression server? Vaguely remember I might have been guilded with them too.

Not to derail, but Boxee was bought out by Samsung a few weeks back. I can only imagine they will start to have it built into their future TVs, which will be absolutely perfect!

On my NAS, I can simply dump all of my torrented TV and Movie files (some 20+GB 1080p DTS-HD MA mind you) into a giant folder and my Boxee set top will organize everything and stream / decode on the fly. I dont see this device replacing it anytime soon. If I am not mistaken, this Chromecast...

I've actually been lucky to have a couple donations from rerolled members, but then ran across an old Darkwind guildmate who gave me a big dontation of plat. The Zlandi heart I talked a guy down to 9k.

Only one group where I was showing a new to EQ player (no damn idea how they stumbled across this game or obscure server) the ropes. The rest was pretty much solo with the majority of the XP pushes after an MGB with KEI and Virtue. Field of Bone and Kurns both, to my knowledge, have zone...

Wow, the comments are hilarious on that article.

I started a few days ago on EqMac. 24 Necro named Jysin. Hit me up with some freebie gear people. I have two slots worth a damn (Robe / Mainhand), and the rest pretty much empty!

I installed 8.1 on a virtual machine on my PC and had all sorts of issues with my network storage. Within 15 minutes of dicking around with the OS, I just deleted it. I see no reason whatsoever to move to it over Win 7.

Glad you sorted it out.

THE biggest single framerate killer was enabling shadows. It would basically end up drawing twice. I had a pretty high end PC at the time and you could max most settings for group play with shadows disabled. Raids were an entirely different story. Hell, even my last play through a couple years...

The thing I actually liked that got a lot of criticism (and eventually removed) was the class system. You start the game as nothing on that island with the newbie quests. It gave you a brief introduction as you familiarized yourself with the controls and UI. In the end, you needed to choose good...

Let me first say, congrats on successfully starting your own business! I kind of stumbled across this thread and read it from start to finish. I find it interesting and thank you for your open sharing of your experience. If I may, I would like to just point out a couple things as an outsider...

Late post... I only recently registered. I was in Darkwind from late Velious through GoD. Mortalis vs DW was the only real drama. AoW spawn fights, DW waking Sleeper to cockblock Mortalis, etc. The ONLY time Mortalis was ahead of DW was during Luclin when you guys had some crazy number of...

You are saying you are able to set test tones out via the audio settings in your computer to all 7 speakers? If that was succesful, I would ask what your source videos are. Not all movies are encoded 7.1. You are far more likely to find only 5.1 (no rear channels).

Correct. You only need the massive memory models for ultrawide resolutions. (Triple monitor gaming, etc) If you are 1080p gaming, your money is better spent on the OC version.

Made it to 22 in very short time. If anyone is starting this out, I can't stress the importance of using the places with ZEM (zone experience modifiers) enough. As a Necro, I absolutely blasted away a few levels in Kurn's in an hour. Low mana cost Undead Nukes make it easy, even if you're mostly...

Some either copied the high-end class armor colors to stroke their epeen, but others went for the rainbow atrocities like Nirgon posted. Hell, in Darkwind we had an ogre warrior go for full hot pink.

Do you forget the locked encounters? That was THE #1 biggest mistake of release EQ2. Running by a newbie out in Antonica who's about to die? Cant heal the poor bastard or kill his mob for him. Just sit and watch him helplessly die. Let's make this "MMO" as socially challenging as possible...

While I absolutely agree with you in principle, even EQ1 with it's heavy social requirements took a shit on this when they introduced armor dyes. I loved being able to tell who the other well equipped players were. Cobalt blue warriors, purple clerics, etc all screamed well equipped and (mostly)...
