    Everquest FanFaire + FireCon 2020

    Rant aside, I've been to three FanFaires in Vegas, and every last one of them was a fucking blast. I'd be down for Vegas.

    Everquest FanFaire + FireCon 2020

    I am completely torn on this subject. On one hand, I put a good 17 years of my life in to EverQuest, and it holds nostalgia strings to my heart that are damn near impossible to sever. On the other hand, I the last round of TLP servers was the straw that broke the camel's back for me with DBG...

    Correct me if I am wrong, but what I got out of that newsletter was: They finished one boss fight They explained the climate system again They made one new character model And, they still have no time line for when they will get out of pre-alpha, but there's still room if you want to pay to be...

    Assuming they are still there in the building in Richardson, I'm pretty sure I know who you work for because I did in the past lol! I remember going down to the little store there in the first floor around noon and seeing ID programmers dressed just like you said walking in like zombies that...

    ID Software has the right idea when it comes to location; Dallas, Texas. Austin may be the technology hub of Texas, but Dallas is the less expensive to live in technology mecca of the state.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    You know... something just occurred to me. If they end up just unlocking expansion after expansion on the classic servers until such time it catches up with their Live servers, how will the account-wide achievements work? Are they just going to make it so that you already have done them all...

    There's validity to that of course. I get it. Hell I spent a weekend one time creating a spreadsheet for my warrior in EverQuest to determine the best use of AAs and combat abilities. If you are doing it for the enjoyment of theory crafting, that's cool. If you are doing it because you must...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I personally think that many people put way too much emphasis on min/maxing everything from builds to even the class they choose to play. If you want to play the game and not quit a month or so in to it, play something that you find enjoyable. This whole min/maxing is ridiculous. I am just as...

    I honestly don't know. I do know what you are talking about though. It happened to my brother's account back in the day in WoW. He logged in to find his character standing at a mailbox naked. He didn't get banned, but it sucked that he had lost his stuff. That being said, I have always...

    I look at companies like Square who patrol their MMORPGs as if they actually give a damn, and I wonder why in the hell other companies don't do the same. Time Period: Aug. 8, 2019 to Aug. 14, 2019 ・Participation in RMT/prohibited activities  ・Accounts terminated: 9,045  ・Accounts temporarily...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    This goes back to the part about having the talent to use the tools to their fullest. Curt wasted shit tons of money on R.A. Salvatore and Todd Mcfarlane. I have nothing against Curt, and I really wanted him to succeed. But, he wasted money horribly just like Brad. The only difference is...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I was wondering.. do they have a list of usable addons for Classic out there? Are there some addons that are against WoW's EULA for Classic? I never was a huge fan of the addons back in the day, so I don't really know what to get if anything.

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    I think you are highly under estimating the cost of making a triple A MMORPG, but if Pantheon ever ships, we will see just what an extremely low budget MMORPG looks like. **edited to add the following** For the record, I think that Pantheon looks like pure fucking ass from all of the videos I...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    I think you are missing the cost of professional quality talent. A good tool is useless if you don't have someone that can use it to it's fullest extent. Developers, artists, animators, and designers are not cheap unless you rely on bedroom hobbyists and interns. Do you not remember just how...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    LOL! That's awesome. I don't think an EverQuest 3 that any of us would be happy playing for long will ever come out because I seriously doubt that Daybreak Games nor their handlers will ever put the kind of money in to developing it that it will require... aka 70 to 100 million dollars. I...

    If EverQuest's TLP servers have taught us anything, it is that the farmers will most likely be on every server going full tilt gliding all over the place. The simple reason for this is they will be converting harvested materials for gold, and converting gold to tokens. The initial push on...

    That's because they truly think that "We want it, but we really don't". I do not think that the are trying to sabotage this whole thing, but rather they just severely do not understand what their customer base wants and doesn't want. I truly believe that they still think that BFA is a...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    This ^ exactly. We all knew it was a lost cause before it even released, but we wanted a real successor to EverQuest (not EverQuest 2 /sigh). Some of us, myself included, held on to the dream way too long. At this point, I really don't see how any company is going to be able to compete in...

    I got to the last section of MSQ for Heavensward this weekend. I probably would have gotten more done, but my cat passed away Sunday. After that, I just didn't really give a damn about anything. That all being said, I really like the look of the last zone (I am assuming it is the last zone)...

    I was level locked out of the next part in the MSQ in Heavensward, so I did a dungeon last night to get the last little bit of experience I needed to hit 57. Now I can continue the MSQ again. Pretty fun stuff honestly, but I do find myself feeling a little bit overwhelmed at times with the...
