    I never really understood why they had to put in those unnecessary cockblocks. I mean the popspckers are gonna poopsock their way to victory no matter how many key and cockblock quests you throw at them, all it does is it hurts your bread and butter, the schlep core gamers.(Which I was one of...

    The hard zones didnt start until tier 2-3 anyway. I was doing PoD, PoJ too, lol. Yeah, i think even on Phinny, its a bit different than EQ live back in 2001. This is not the same code. There was many many passes along the years that made shit easier by leaps and bounds. Even the people you are...

    Best time I had was on a obscure emu server. Finally got to see all those places and truly explore them one by one from top to bottom. 4 box crew, all mobs had 1/2 hp all PHs were gone and he had teleporters set up that let you TP right into the dungeons. sounds like cake, right? Well maybe...

    If i remember correctly EQII was also in play before WoW beta. So it was a double hit for EQ. Not only did they release EQII which drove many people away because EQII was also 150% less brutal than EQ ever was, then the WoW beta hit and drew away the rest, save the diehards that probably still...

    Its just funny how far neckbeards will go for some of this shit, considering neked corpses rot in like what? 3-4 hours? Thats some massive dedication there. also, there is no test servers for progression, as far as I know there is only one test and the test is for live. I guess they could make one?

    LOL, so bank corpses, ding 65 within 20 min of PoP opening, finish all raids first 2 days, then farm them every 6 days and AA grind for 8 or 12 weeks, however long it is. How fun.

    A couple of days ago i ventured down into the bowels of my basement to see my 15 yr old plaing something new on his xboner. I asked what it was and he said Trove, mmorpg.

    I hear they really started to crack own on that shit over the past few months. There were forums out there like "red" that you could buy shit, but most of the sellers have vanished in the last few months, probably because they got the ban.

    You dont need any of that. Just make a mound of lump in your komodo, place 3-4 cotton balls soaked with alcohol and the stuff is ready in 5 min.

    Use good lump coal. And use a few cotton balls soaked with alcohol to get it started. Keep it at a low air setting because once that shit gets out of control temp wise, its hard to bring back down. Its always easier to adjust up rather than down. Buy yourself a nice thermometer. I have one that...

    Well if you consider quality 200-300 mind numbing boring ass quests,2-3 on rails dungeons consisting of 2 corridors and 2-3 raids that are farmed for 2 yrs quality, well, obviously we differ in what we call quality.

    I worked there when I was 15, back in the late 80s. Back when they made shit fresh, almost to every order. Then later in the 90s they added storage bins to the operation, like Burger King had. So they cooked the meat and placed it in a warming tray, this is why shit tastes like cardboard now.

    That was later on in EQ. Back in classic-pop era those pets were squishy as fuck. Only later did they give them many many passes of power throughout the years.Then on top of it all they nerfed the way exp was gained back in like late 2001, so yo had to do 1/2 the damage to a mob to get full exp...

    EQ was never hard. It was tedious and dangerous at low levels until you established a network. Once you were lv 50+ and had a network of buddies it was easymode, yet still tedious as hell. Gameplay mechanics were basic tank and spank for almost everything, with a cleric rotation and as much...

    Yeah for sure but where to spend the cash for an upgrade? Im willing to bet that a 1070 will be way better upgrade to his gaming than a proc.

    You could not do crawling in EQ anyways because of the level disparity between mobs. Most dungeons had a level range of 10, even 20+ levels between the entrance and the bowels. Some even having raid encounters at the bottom. And while im sure the original intent was to be crawled through...
