    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I forgot what we accidentally did on Ragefire, but we <Darkwind> broke Tunare trigger where we were chain spawning her for hours on end until someone ratted us out to a GM. We had dozens of kills before they just nuked the whole zone of mobs. Didn't punish anyone or take any loot, which was...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Vulak loot is such a pain in the dick. It's such a deep loot pool (25 unique items?) that your chance of getting a specific drop is pretty slim. That said, I retired my main (monk) on Ragefire as soon as I got my Abashi. I was still pissed we woke sleeper WAY too early when no one else was even...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I learned that the whole cilantro = soap thing is a genetic variant. I am sorry you guys can't taste the true awesomeness of cilantro, but I can't make fun of you guys. Genetics and all.. it would be like making fun of a downie. You're just handicapped. Sorry retard bros.

    The Vehicle Purchasing Thread

    Same boat here. I got a loan on a BMW years back because I needed some liquid cash for a few months, paid it off less than 6 months later. APR was only 1.79% on that loan. I am 820+ credit though.

    The Vehicle Purchasing Thread

    Been covered already, but holy balls! 10% over a 6 year loan!? That is a fuckload of interest. Doing some reverse math: ~$16k principle loan (warranty included) $5.3k in interest over the life of the loan ^^ You are paying another 1/3 the cost of the car in interest payments!! ^^ Get better...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    It's just funny because I remember ages back when people were arguing something stupid about the eyes can't tell any difference above 50 fps or something abysmally low. Now here we are advocating 144+ fps and it is almost universally agreed that it makes a noticeable difference. Like @Palum , I...

    Mentioned a couple weeks ago that I dropped and shattered the screen on my S7. Went out last night and picked up a Note 8. I've gotta say, it is pretty damn slick! I thought the stylus pen is a complete gimmick but after playing with it, it definitely has its uses. Being able to draw notes on...

    I wasn't trying to argue whatsapp for use today over other platforms. The earlier discussion was the speculation as to why it didn't take off in the US initially, while the rest of the world did. That's why I mentioned international contacts. Whatsapp came out in Jan 2010.. WAY before iMessage...

    Only 1.3billion MAUs as of July this year. These accounts are based on actual individual phone numbers vs "user names" on other platforms. Still no clue why the US is in the dark on this gem, aside from my theory in my previous post. Connecting One Billion Users Every Day

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Seeing how TLP servers have brought back repeat customers each iteration, I think if P99 released their own fresh server with locks it would melt their host server. No idea if they'd have any interest in that idea. The hard work has been done already though.

    Again, Whatsapp was first of its kind and I think the close proximity international countries like in Europe took it and ran with it out the gate. USA customers (as a whole) are far less likely to have international contacts they would have been SMS messaging at the time. Apple's iMessenger...

    I think the big disconnect with whatsapp in the US is the fact cell providers have given unlimited texts for many many years now. Because of this, it just never really caught on. However, the beauty of whatsapp lies in the group chat functions & ability to assign multiple admins. As an expat...

    On a somber note, I took my phone out to take a pic of my son this weekend in a slight drizzle of rain. Hand was damp and took the phone out of my pocket and it caught on something and flew out of my hand skittering across the concrete screen side down. My perfectly adequate Galaxy S7 Edge...

    Looks like a trailer park. While it is a shame people have to endure that, I kind of have zero sympathy for those who choose to live in flimsy trailers on the coasts of Florida. Hurricanes always happen. That shit is not built for it whatsoever.

    Torrents

    IIRC, if you connect to the IPT site via VPN you will eat a ban. You can run your Torrent client (uTorrent etc) through a VPN no problem, but if you are connecting to the IPT site itself, stay off VPN. It is against their rules. All of that said, I don't know anyone with any issues connecting...

    Torrents

    The "high risk" torrents are those dumb public sites. I've never had an issue in all my years on IPT & BTN. That's the entire point behind invite only trackers. The other big reasons, as pointed out, are quality standards and automation.

    IIRC, everyone pulled Seru out and in one corner. It was easier to keep the healer pops dead in that smaller area vs random adds from all over. We also didn't bother with bane weaps. We dual tanked myself and another war using proc weaps (BoC + SoD) to hold aggro. Dual tanks to keep aggro during...

    We (Darkwind) had worldwide first HP Ssra before she was rooted in place. So much was changed on the fly at the bleeding edge in that xpac. It was really the first glaring obvious xpac that SoE started pushing release dates before completion of zones. It only got worse in PoP and then GoD was so...

    Early VT also had crazy abilities like trash that chain blinded and all sorts of nonsense. It was still relatively easy though. We downed AHR after only a couple attempts. VT was basically a loot piñata zone with piles of pain in the dick trash between mobs.

    The issue with VT keys were the fact the shards dropped in regular open access zones. Forget the actual raiding guilds competing, you occasionally had people camping shards that were 4th tier or lower guilds on the server and wouldn't realistically down Emp until the next xpac. Scrubs basically...

    The BMWs have exhaust valves too (and have for a very long time). The issue with the sound pumped through the stereo is kind of a double edged sword. Models like the M5 that have it sound great via their own exhaust, its the unbelievable level of cabin damping to eliminate any exterior noise...
