    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Yea, people have been shuffling them thru via delete / reclaim tokens, trying to parcel without collecting, etc. It will be interesting to see how many slip through the cracks.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Not sure if any of you sub, but might be worth it on a burner TLP account ! *edit* Err.. already nuked as of last night. Seems people were using /claim and getting defiant gear. Not a peep from DBG yet. Some people have some stupid powerful gear running around TLP servers!

    VPN advice and recommendations

    Just FYI, some private trackers (like BTN) will ban you for using VPN to access their website. You can use VPN while torrenting though. I also use PIA (Private Internet Access). It's pretty baller and you can select different geographical regions around the world. I can stream BBC, etc with ease.

    You're absolutely right. AMD was owning the first half of the decade of the 2000s. C2D was a hell of a breakthrough though and AMD never caught up. We need competition again!

    Semi-related, but AMD stock jumped nearly 9% today. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.: NASDAQ:AMD quotes & news - Google Finance *edit* Up 100% since June this summer & 230% year to date! Holy smokes.

    A comment from that thread sums up exactly what I feel: "As soon as AMD is taking what Intel feel it is more than it should, Intel will release whatever they have been sandbagging for so many years."

    Intel has had more than a decade of monopoly on performance. Monopolies tend to keep innovation at a minimum. We need AMD competing again. Back when we had AMD's FX lineup of the mid-2000s toppling Intel's performance crown. Shots were bring fired by both companies driving innovation and...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Once you knew what you were doing, you could be off the island in 10 minutes from starting a new character. But yea, it should have had an option for starting new on island or "been there, done that" and select at level 1 option.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I wouldn't blanket statement "early EQ2 was really good". It had glaring issues like shared xp debt, whatever it was called (soul shard?) that you had to recover to regain your full stats on death. Died deep in a dungeon and everyone bailed? Too bad for you. Gimped stats for days until that shit...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I am pretty sure they had the betrayal quest in from the beginning. Some classes were neutral, others were distinctly either good or evil. You could change your sub-class by betraying your home city for the other. I actually did this in the early days from Qeynos to Freeport. There was a pretty...

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    Trailer looks good, but fuck I am not falling for this again. The last few shit-tastic movies with ghetto bots and all kinds of other nonsense. I will simply wait for reviews. Not an opening night flick for me.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I liked the newbie island concept as well. I thought it was a great idea for new people to the game. In EQ1, you fired up and had to make Class / Race decisions before stepping foot in the world and knew fuck all what those choices really meant until weeks, if not months worth of levels down the...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Keep in mind, the graphics were advertised to be hugely scale-able so when newer tech came out, the game would look better and better. Unfortunately, during the development years, PC tech was simply amping up processor power in raw speed on single cores. EQ2's design was assuming we would see...

    I thought EQ2 voice acting was ground breaking for the time. Gone were the days of reading walls of NPC quest text and guessing key phrases. Some of the voice acting was done quite well. As mentioned, Heather Graham did Antonia Bayle of Qeynos and Christopher Lee (Saruman from LOTR) voiced Lucan...

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    I never was interested in Landmark, but they fucked themselves on the project when they went from a pure creation game to implementing combat and all other sorts of nonsense. They tried to milk a full "game" out of Landmark and it basically killed any interest the creator types had for it...

    Also, you shouldn't be cloning from HDD to SSD. A fresh windows install will auto detect the SSD and change settings / format to account for it. Best you wipe and start over. Just migrate data over that is needed afterwards.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    5Ghz has much faster speeds, but lower penetration through walls & etc. This is why most routers will have dual band. If your microwave is truly interfering your 2.4GHz band, you need to replace the microwave. It is shielded and shouldn't be emitting unless its super old or the shielding is...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    Its always hard to explain to people. It's something you need to experience. Most of the cheap subs (and I'd class the $350 as cheap too) end up sounding like a sub in a box. Boomy / boxy, however you want to describe it. I am on the far end of the spectrum with a Paradigm Signature Sub25. Every...

    Careful once you go down that rabbit hole. It starts meager, then you end up deep 5 figures in gear! =D Never heard of those speakers in your links though. You'd be best taking your own media to a proper hi-fi / home theater shop and doing some blind tests.

    That's an absolute waste of pixels if you paid for that monster size / resolution and only running 1080. Go into your DPI scaling settings. You can keep native monitor resolution and windows will scale icons / text larger. You can also scale in your browser for webpages, if needed.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Trash HP changes were well received last night. We did a full Time clear. Trash went down at a much more reasonable rate, while maintaining some lethality. (we had a few deaths here and there in P2-P3) I think we were around 15-18 chars for the raid and it took around 3+ hours. Thanks for the work!

    There are two main factors with wire gauge. #1 is distance, as you mentioned. #2 is current levels. The higher current (power /wattage) you are driving, a thicker gauge would be required. If you are running high current over long distance, even more thicker gauge is needed. With those dinky...

    Evasive (in its broken OP form) is kinda necessary though. Otherwise, it would make all of the rest of the raid content need to be re-tuned as it would take a significant increase in healing power for PoP content. There still needs to be some tuning in PoTime, imo. The server works very well...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    My bank offers 1.79% on 36 month new vehicle loans. That's dirt cheap. I would much rather have my capital available for investing vs throwing it into the car. You have to try especially hard not to earn a return greater than that.
