Not as many people actually use those things as what others have said, certainly not "everyone and their brother". You don't need them to compete either. Having a good knowledge of zone layouts and spawn times as a puller will get you by just fine without SEQ. And given the large volume of camp...

Rummaging around in boxes. Here's what I got when I returned to the game in 2004 after a 3 year break. Kind of crazy that OoW was $20 at launch, which is when this was. Always had a soft spot for OoW and Epic 2.0s and kinda feel like those are the pinnacle of weapon design in EQ. Ranger 2.0 is...

How do you get this window? I need to check and see if I have 200 days played (doubt it). 100 or even 50 would be a lot more reasonable, but eh. So if I'm understanding this correctly, you can only reserve a name if you've already played under that specific name for a huge amount of time. That...

Maybe it's time for me to finally run Fallout 2. My efforts to get back in the CRPG saddle with Neverwinter Nights fell flat, so maybe I should just let that one go and move on to something else like FO2.

The 2000 foot buoy drop is probably faulty equipment because nothing else makes any sense. The dense anomaly on the other hand looks pretty consistent over time, like something massive caused a major rise in the water level. Most likely an iceberg detaching from Antarctica, but it could also be...

Do you have to be currently a subscriber for the name reservation thing? And when does the login bonus (EXP potion) end? Guess I'll burn a krono to get this stuff.

If Teek were a fast exp server like Selo (+50% exp rate IIRC) that would be amazing. I'd like to go to Live on a TLP again finally, especially with a second chance at Mischief, but at this point in life it would be much easier to stay current / on top of the wave with a fast exp server. They...

They need to just make Tormax a Teek clone and be done with it, nobody is asking for an Aradune clone. If that happens, I vote we all jump ship on Teek and go to Tormax instead just to be on a server with a name that doesn't suck.

I took a couple non-fans to watch Ospreay vs Takeshita and they were all wowed by it and it made them interested in the overall product. Match had crossover appeal, for sure. Cody vs Roman has an incredible build, but if you're rating on match quality, 4.75 might even be generous. It all...

Interesting. I'm still doing a Demon->Dark->Dark 2->Bloodborne->Elden "Berserk playthrough" to lead up to SOTE. Finished Demon Souls and Dark Souls, both speedruns (10-ish hours for one and 7-ish for the other). Was bouncing between them for the past week or so. Fought Artorias in the DLC but...

TBH I wish Teek was named literally anything else. Teek has to be one of the worst TLP names, right up there with Mangler.

There's also that. Gets injured every time he wrestles, cast a huge shadow over the largest paid attendance crowd in history (or at least a top 3, depending on who you ask), the list goes on and on of what a bust he was. Put yourself in TK's shoes on this one, you start a company with the same...

Tony Schiavone didn't see the footage beforehand and his look was the "oh boy" look he's had many times when something serious is goin' down. I can understand any number of viewpoints on this situation, but at the end of the day CM Punk went into one of the most stable and friendly locker rooms...

I'd just get the perk that keeps you from de-leveling and the one with the minor exp bonus (just for launch on that one). 35+20+35 is probably about right for shopping. Add another 10 or so for Speed potions to have SoW on at all times. As an enchanter you won't really need much else, maybe one...

I never finished the evolving Zek earring from the 115 expansion. I did all the quests for it and got it up to the final stage (level 8 or so) only to find out that I had to grind out yet another 0-100% for it to actually reach max power. This one took forever (like an hour to move it 4%) and at...

Was playing Dark Souls, got to pretty late in the game (only Gwyn left), noticed an NPC that I've never seen before: It's right near the beginning in Firelink Shrine. Got an item next to him. Not sure how to get to the guy. Anyone know offhand who this is / what it's for?

Yeah point taken, next time leave scrapes alone instead of getting them fixed. Didn't know they got counted as an accident. Never had any particular car issues before the last few years and never really filed a claim for anything. That totally explains the high rates and also means pretty much...

I'm pretty sure the movie Donnie Darko was sort of about this kind of thing. Need to watch that again. In the movie, there's one specific timeline each person has that's called "God's path" and is essentially your fate, or what you're "supposed" to do, but there's also nothing stopping you from...

I think it's pretty much all cash shop at this point, with some (usually less-interesting) armor ornament sets being from ingame missions and whatnot. Someone who plays live would know better than me. I'm drawing a blank about a lot of things EQ after almost two years of not playing.

I'm thinking more about server crashes and queues getting in. If this has one of the biggest queues in history at launch, most of the people who want to play won't even be able to get in that evening. The nightmare scenario (which I've never had to deal with) is when someone can't get in until...

Agreed. The epics were a good way to add prestige back in the day. And rare super-weapons (every expansion had a couple up to a certain point). The dawn of ornamentations around SoD killed a lot of the prestige of items because anyone could make their weapon look bigger and flashier than an...

TBH I don't think EQ has any chance of actually dying, not when emulator servers are a thing. See how Vanguard is still available today on emulator servers. There'll be enough of those running for any remaining population to keep going. If the main game dies, it mainly just means no new live...

Been noticing this for a few years now, there are like almost no bugs outside. Maybe at the height of summer there are some, but not like what I remember as a kid. I'd come home with numerous mosquito bites every time I played outside for too long in the woods in summer, if I didn't have bug...

This is all super interesting and I've got zero doubt whatsoever that humans did a hell of a lot of stuff in the 200,000 years before civilization "began" in 4000 BC. It wouldn't surprise me either if most of the stuff in the Bible and other great religious texts is all based on legitimate...

Yeah, and if AEW did that they'd get completely dumped on. They already get flack for people kicking out of big moves but never do anything to the extent of what was going on in those two title matches. In other news, I bet Samantha Irvin's nether-regions taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream.

What's with these smug people popping up going "what controversy? there is no controversy except in your silly little heads" every time anyone talks about the controversy? I guess that's the new play these days, pretend nothing's happening and there is no narrative whenever people push back...

But wait! What was the point of nerfing Howling Stones? Zone is out of the way and takes a bit more effort to get keyed for, plus it's pretty dangerous, so the high EXP was the reason to go. Just wondering why they'd make a zone like that useless, if that's what happened. Also means more people...

That looks like something that should actually get some sort of official release / support from From. It's amazing how fan-made games are some of the most impressive games out there at this point in time. Like those various Super Mario Crossover games (forget what the newest one is called) that...

Demon Souls Remake: The game so good-looking that even the poison swamp looks amazing. Pretty much done with this one, 9 hours played over the past week and all I have left are World 3 and 1-4. @Heian I'd go with a build you haven't played before. I'm running Str builds which I never did...

That's unfortunate. So in-era it's no longer a top EXP zone, I take it. Well, definitely won't be rushing in there with a static now. This particular server should have basically a 1-60 level spread, gonna be people of all levels doing all kinds of things. I'm sure you'd find plenty of people...

Some Berserk cosplay: Demon Souls w/ Dragon Bone Smasher Dark Souls w/ Greatsword Dark Souls 2 w/ Greatsword. The +25% EXP costume kinda messes up the look, I'll get a more accurate outfit later on. All of these Guts can be put together really early in their respective games (DBS is the...

If they don't launch this with a backup server (and perhaps consolidate later) it's going to be a shitshow. Backup server would allow everyone who just wants to play and isn't in it for the raid game / top guilds to filter to the backup server and probably have a better overall experience with...

Did Howling Stones get nerfed hard or something?

Yeah, Faceless Conquest made it to retail very successfully. Sounds like the rest of the server kinda died a death though. Well, at least we'll have holiday exp. Just now realizing that Kunark itself is the expansion I'm the least familiar with raidwise (well, VP anyway) outside of the last 2...

Oh yeah, one conundrum I'm facing in Berserk Souls is that I don't think there are any capes in most of them. Elden Ring has capes obviously, but I don't think the others do. Managed to get the Souls 1 Guts looking very much like Guts outfit-wise even without the cape, so that's cool. I need to...

Selo had Luclin unlocked (thus much better leveling zones). I remember it launching during an EXP weekend, anyone remember if that's the case? And didn't it have a general EXP bonus as well? Teek will have the same level cap but none of the above advantages. It's gonna be an absolutely hideous...

What greatsword does Lost Giant have? AFAIK his soul can only be traded for an axe. I got the Greatsword from the No Man's Wharf, which is very Berserk-like. Was a real challenge to sprint to at low level, took lots of tries and I barely got it when I finally did. Got out of the room and boned...

VP can drop Trak/VS BPs/pants? Is that only on Mischief or is it possible in general? I'd think Trak/VS are still desirable targets due to the guaranteed two drops from each fight, but if VP mobs can sometimes drop those items as well at least it's something. Not too surprised PD is the only...

Yeah, what I used to do if I was gonna run a bunch of instanced missions solo is log a bunch of characters on and off, adding them to the group. You can add five people from one other account if you want, they'll all stay in the group as offline. Then run as many instances as you want. Even raid...
