    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Your biggest plat exploit was when you put rebreathers on the vendor which sold for more than they cost. The problem in a lot of these MMOs is that people want to exploit until they can't effectively personally gain anymore.. then go feedback on it. You need help from people with no skin in the...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Nevermind the fact that the Antikythera Mechanism is not very accurate whatsoever. It was clearly a highly ambitious, technologically advanced, wonder of engineering for its day by mankind. But it makes zero fucking sense for the Lumi "gods or aliens did it" argument. So an advanced alien...

    Echoing Gravel's link there. Easiest answer is to use the 4% rule or commonly referred to as "SWR" (safe withdrawal rate). This factors in for inflation and is based off the entire history of the market. The only couple instances where it would fail is if you got to your magic number, then...

    When I get home late tonight, I will PM you on Discord. There's a guy who used your code to build a newer version of NL. If you don't have the time to fully put into your own custom server, I suggest you two work together and collaborate. I will Discord PM you the details and stop this derail...

    To be fair, I think there is 1 glare lord in the Temple. That's all it takes is a well placed Amy bomb with 1 glare lord snuck in there.

    I was on holiday with a gal in Italy last year and when it wrapped up, she had to fly to Athens for some work. I joined her for a day and we lazed about the city taking in the sights. We randomly decided to go to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. It was all fairly humdrum, but as we...

    MasterChef Australia

    I used to torrent this regularly, but haven't watched the last couple seasons. Of all the cooking shows on the planet, this is by far the best one. I will echo the others, the Aussie MC is nothing whatsoever like USA MC, aside from the name (and this is a good thing).

    Same. I am easily a center of attention with large groups of friends and even their friends, but speeches and whatnot? I get cold sweaty palms, heart palpitations, complete waves of panic. No idea why. I have a wedding coming up and what should be the happiest days of our lives, I will have days...

    Genuinely curious, where is this dropping? I received this on live WAY back in the day from a Halloween GM event. It was never a regular drop. Still got it on my warrior sitting in the bank to this day.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Its been said here quite a few times, but there is a reason for that. GoD and OoW were supposed to be one single xpac with the level increase to 70. SoE got lazy and behind and decided to split the xpacs. GoD released without the level increase and now you see why everything was broken as fuck.

    For anyone that watches Ponderosa videos, prepare yourself for this. The producers actually made a "rap video" with him at Ponderosa featuring jet skis and all kinds of nonsense. It was meant as tongue-in-cheek, but his rap is truly god awful.

    Desktop Computers

    Which is why I said NVMe, which is on the PCIe bus. M.2 is simply the form factor. Using the SATA ports on those drives is an absolute waste of potential. ~7x slower to be exact.

    Weren't the last Samsung drives the 960 Evo / Pro series? Why are they going 850 > 960 > 860? 960 series, does look to be NVMe M.2 only, which is the only drive I would ever consider these days anyway. Those are literally more than 6x as fast in sequential read vs a maxed out SATA III port. All...

    FWIW with the spell book stuff: A GM finally got off his ass and manually reimbursed each scroll into my inventory while I was AFK. Took 3 entire days, but that was the resolution.

    I think that is exactly the limitation with HDMI though. IIRC, HDMI can only run 4k up to 24hz which is basically cinema (film) format. Fine for a home theater. Anything above that, you either have to run 2 HDMI cables, or use a single Display Port.

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    I simply meant for a real change of ruleset server. Coirnav is pretty weak on population. It's fine for peak hours, but good luck getting something together outside of that time. Never had this issue on Ragefire (assume not an issue on Agnarr either). I think the slow XP rate while offering...

    I might be done here. The very slow xp grind is getting to me. Level 42 now and I can only take so much LGuk and Hole. I was begrudgingly logging in occasionally and grinding it away anyway, but today I used a race change potion to move my Origin bind over to Freeport. Apparently, there is a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    If memory serves, for headshots the damage is completely irrelevant. It is all about the lowest delay bow as possible to have faster chance to trigger the headshot ability. Bow of the Destroyer is by far optimal with a 17 delay. War Bow of RZ is a snail at 45 delay. You should be after a Bow of...

    Best thing about digital and astro is the stacking you can do. Take 30 - 50 very low detail / mediocre shots and stack them in Photoshop and the results are stunning. Milky Way Exposure Stacking with Manual Alignment in Adobe Photoshop – Lonely Speck Another example: Before: After:

    Next step is photography. A friend gave me her ~$500 setup, but I can tell the mount is total crap once I have my heavy Canon 5D attached. Slightest breeze and the view is all over the place. You need a rock solid setup to get some nice clear shots. I am probably going to invest in my own scope...

    Yes, otherwise the toon would start sticking to whatever target (even aggro NPCs) they changed their target to until the /stick off command is given.

    It has been mentioned, but the ZEMs were changed for this TLP. The old tried and true optimal leveling paths are different, which is actually refreshing for a change. Blackburrow is buffed, I think Unrest is down, SolA is definitely buffed. LGuk seems mediocre, but at level 40 now a lot is...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    Early days on these servers, you are best dumping all the plat you can into buying Krono. It's a hedge against inflation. Perfect example, I paid about 800p for a Krono to someone desperate for plat in off-hours last week. Within a couple days it was up to 1k for a Krono. Today, it's around...

    Server is pretty damn quiet. DOA? Popped into SolB earlier to check out freeti camp and there was main pick with ~15 people in it and one pick with 8 people in it. All FGs, Magus and Naggy were sitting up chilling. I think the end of bonus XP pushed out all of the casuals from the server.

    For those of you out of the MQ2 loop, that stick command is baller. The "uw" flag is for underwater. Your toons will follow up and down the Z axis. (also works to keep your chars at the same altitude with levitate) Ditch that primitive ISBoxer crap.

    Banable if you are automating sure, but I always manually used BCT commands to tell a shaman to /assist /cast slow, cleric to /tar jysin /cast heal etc. The people who full-on AFK automation are the ones getting banned.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I don't think it should be an apples to apples comparison either. Due to PC / network limitations of 1999, you had to split zones up. ie: East Commons, West Commons, cities broken into multiple zones, etc.. Today, you could build far larger zones with 10x the players. Let's not forget: quality >...
