    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    It's quite simple, the enforcement went out the window as SoE / DBG lost money and pulled CS staff. We went from dedicated server lead GMs who were on damn near every day with a whole bunch of support staff. These guys were around a ton and would respond very quickly to any shenanigans, which...

    Oh, I get it. You probably didn't catch my earlier posts but this VCSH pool is short term money. I am looking to make a significant change in job / country of residence by the end of the year. This will be house money if I decide to go back stateside. I am not willing to risk this pool of cash...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    You can still get free insta cast gate pots in PoK, but they are not stackable. They added gate pots to hub that stack and have a cast time, but cost plat. Some type of clicky would have been ideal, but people were cheesing encounters with gate to get out of combat for quick med. (You can...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I know when Nisea and I looked at GoD on NL, we found empty zones, broken scripts, and unpopulated loot tables. The xpac was pretty much abandoned at that point. The only custom zone currently on NL is Crushbone. Nisea basically added low tier GoD loot, which is mostly useless compared to...

    I took Blazin's advice and dumped ~85% of my cash into VCSH. It's Vanguard's short term corp bond fund. It's basically paying monthly dividends far better than any bank is going to give you, plus the recent market instability has boosted the share price a small quarter percent since I bought it...

    And depending on how much money you want to spend, Milford sound isn't far as the crow flies. You can hop on a prop plane / heli from Queenstown and be in Milford Sound in 30-40 minutes for a few hundred kiwi bucks. If you want to drive, its a long 4 hour slog because you have to drive in nearly...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    All that came about from the 70s oil crisis. 55 mph was the "sweet spot" for fuel savings, which the gov forced on everyone by the national limit. National Maximum Speed Law - Wikipedia It's crazy to think, this law wasn't repealed until 1995. (Was raised to 65mph in the 80s)

    Survivor

    The only possible explanation for the lack of Sandra votes has to be the edit. I think everyone has simply assumed no one in their right mind would vote for Sandra as a two time winner. Plus, she doesn't pose a threat in individual immunity. I am guessing they just let her run amok and ignore...

    The Fast Food Thread

    All of those fast food places deliver here in the middle east. I literally rang up KFC yesterday, they use your caller ID which registers you right into their system. I simply tell them to send the same as the last order. Phone call takes all of 30 seconds, food shows up 15 mins later. Shake...

    Think I posted about my trip in the other thread. In a nutshell, if you love the outdoors, South Island is where its at. I spent 3 weeks there and still feel like I missed a lot. Best vacation of my life. On your trip to Hobbiton, you should hit up the Waitomo Glowworm caves. It's 1 - 1.5 hrs...

    I hear you. I just want my TV to essentially be a massive high quality monitor. People usually run their own HTPC / Plex Server / etc that do the job a million times better than the built-in TV OS.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    MQ is allowed on RA. Spawn times vary. You can also grind daily missions for Guk points (Server's alt currency). There's a ton of stuff to be bought via guks and if you are feeling especially impatient on bosses for Tiered armor / epics, you can buy a spawn token. Trash mobs also drop guk points...

    Sadly, Rogue is one of the worst classes currently. Server Dev just got back from vacation today and I know a Rogue revamp is on his list of to-dos. They are basically lacking in DPS and have a weak Epic 5.0, aside from that they are fine. You could start one and hope he gets around to fixing...

    Yea, I led the move to Stormhaven. Lots of us enjoyed it quite a bit. The amount of custom content is 2nd to none. You can still enjoy the server, but the very top end you will need to 6 box at a minimum. I would still say 80% of the content you can get by with the bots. The overall problem is...

    Nek has been broken on this server since the beginning. It has never worked. Just have to avoid it entirely. For mob killability: Aside from some PoP gods, I was able to 2 box my way into EP minis before they even allowed 3 boxing. Shm was super powerful with slow and Puma line though. Plus...

    Bidets, and why you should buy them

    You just sit down and blast away on your asshole. The standalone bidets are really only found in homes. You're not sharing those things with strangers. It's 10x more cleanly than using a piece of paper to smear shit across the skin of your taint / asscrack.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Yea, not sure where you got the number 15 from. This dude is likely sedentary. He would fall right around 4300 calories per day to maintain the 600 lbs. To further gain that extra weight, it is typically accepted that ~3500 calories surplus = 1 lb gain. So the guy would need to be eating roughly...

    Just doing the math on that, that's a surplus of ~4600 calories per day, EVERY day for 4 months to gain that much. I like the occasional binge like the rest of you, but I tend to feel pretty fucked up and "hungover" the next day. The idea of doing that shit for 120 days straight? Fucking kill me...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    BCS plugin is all client side. The broadcast server is a 127 loopback address on your own PC. MQ2 knows to look for MQ specific commands being sent, and before sending those to the game server, it's stripped out and used by MQ to process commands. If you sent /bca whatever in EQ chat it would...

    Err what? I enjoy a regular whopper with cheese from time to time, but BK fries are universally hated by just about everyone in this thread. They are bottom tier anywhere. Wendy's fries are miles better. I do feel bad for you pals near shitty Wendy's locations. Still love a couple JBCs!

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    As mentioned, you can pet pull. It is too far away from Isle 1. You need to run off the island. You'd normally zone to Freeport, but on this server you just land on the bottom of the zone. Run over directly under EoV, target EoV (need MQ to do this), and send your pet. It is still quite a long Z...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I had some rose colored glasses on for years of nostalgia thinking PoP was amazing during live. However, I must say, after playing Nagafen's Lair Emu for so long (PoP locked) I have to agree with Sterling. Once you enter PoTime, the entire rest of the game is pointless. Nothing else is of any...

    Wiz is fun, but they run oom too much in PoP. You'd literally have to gate out of zone to get fast med up and zone back (often multiple times). I'd dump the wiz for a Monk or Rogue. Rogue can also clear trash fast as hell due to assassinate dark blue con or lower at max AA. Deruvian is right...
