So I ended up getting the i5 3570K anyway. Micro center had this deal that if you buy the latest i5 or i7 you get $50 off for the mo-bo, so it ended up being a wash whether I get the i5 2500K or the i5 3570. Anyone have any experience with OCing this thing? I did not run any tests or...

Yeah but like was said, EQ was not a game where you traveled around so much. When I started playing (2000 with Kunark) there was already a set path to leveling up, so most people hung out in those zones for weeks at a time. I started in Qeynos so I did have to do the eventual run to FP at around...

wrong thread nm.

From the sounds of the communities around the net, thats exactly what were getting since D3 system is said to be the beta platform for an upcoming game.

I think what the last 20 or so pages has shown is that we need to move away from levels, gear levels and anything of that sort and institute a skill based progression system with soft caps. So that first starter zone would be just as dangerous to a seasoned, skilled player just like the new...

Actually it sounds like Shadowbane but x out the housing and instead have cities.

If I remember correctly it was a Geforce 3 ti400 or some shit.

I didnt get my first PC until 2000, it was a PII 800mhz with a 20 gig HD, 128 mb ram (which I upgraded to 512mb) and I got it for around $1600, not to mention the graphics card I had to buy for it for another $200 or so. Internet was cheap by then, I think we were paying like $25 per month for...

Well well just agree to disagree. Comparing an internet game in 1999 to an internet game in 2005 is like comparing a 1990s Motorola flip phone to a blackberry in 2003.

Well you obviously were one of the privileged. Because in 1999 only some 40% of households had PCs and only 47% of those had internet. Compared to almost 70% in 2005 with most of those households having an internet connection. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=119358&page=1...

I think it was a bit more than 430K at the time. Remember EQ was not the only mmorpg on the block back then. we had AO, DAOC, AC, Shadowbane, and not to mention the asian mmorpgs like Final Fantasy before wow even came out. To say that the genre was capped at 430K is being a bit disingenuous...

I bought a laptop for my wifes mom for Xmas and the first thing I did to it was install start8. Fuck windows 8. And people used to say vista was bad?

I just cannot see using something like minecraft system in a mmo. You would have a world populated by nothing more than giant dick and balls everywhere.

Tool was music for your mind... A perfect circle was music for your herat... Puscifer is music for your genitalia....

And you sound like a sponsored retard.

You can laugh all you want Itzy, but deep down inside you are crying just like the rest of us because you know its true.

Why, whats going on? Whats the event?

The way blizzard has been taking WoW lately there is little faith left. I still have hope, but well see. Oh and D3 was no spectacular game either.

Man, Heartsman is overrated IMO. He worked on EQ2 and before him EQ2 was crap and after he left EQ2 was just a bit less crappy. WOW! Then he goes on to do Rift which was probably the most boring sterile game I ever played.

Yeah, that sucks man. But thank god you dont have any kids and you can just walk away. Youre still a young dude with your whole life ahead of you and it looks like you have a good plan. Just dont let her ass wiesel her way back. Do not put control back into her court. Remember, it does not...

Good post! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lithose again.

Ahh, the things men would do for a piece of pie.

I agree. I could give 2 shits what this dude does outside of the film, but he always gave a solid on screen performance that was always convincing and usually the movies were good to great.

Me personally? I could give 2 shits about lore in games. SWTOR was OK and I did pay attention to at least the main quests because it was mildly entertaining, but even then its cheesy bullshit that you laugh about how stupid it is.

I actually liked the AA system. It made it that you always had something to do. You were always progressing the character no matter what you did. The bloat could of been solved in a myriad of ways. Like say when a new expansion is released, have quests that quickly get people caught up to the AA...

The problem is there is no regulation. What stops some store from labeling a regularly grown veggie something as "organic" and charging someone 2x the price? all I know that in the grocery stores I frequent the "organic" isles of veggies seem to be growing, I wonder why?

You should seriously consider trying TSW.

This has been me essentially since I started playing EQ in 2000. I was 26, with a career, a home and a kid on the way. I never had 6-8 hours in one sitting to play games, other than maybe weekend nights. And yet i found time to play them and never did I think to myself, well this was wasted time...

Because you are conditioned to play this way. RPGs from the onset of the first games such as zelda and other jrpgs were all about advancement, or finding that next item to make you more powerful. You slowly gathered your skills, spells and or levels over time. This is the entire foundation of...

Exactly, how many failed WoW clones will it take for the industry to wise up and rethink where they invest their money? If I had a million dollars to invest I would be dammned to invest it in another WoWish clone. Would you, Draegen invest your million dollars on yet another iteration of WoW?

Ok then if you are stuck with levels and exp, go the route of a UO or TSW and make it a skill based system where you dont have to ding or watch exp bars. Damn man, its like your shortsighted or something. Why is it you want end game? Explain to me how an end game is any different from just...

There are examples of such games, maybe you never played them. It sure sounds like you never did. I already pointed to these games as examples of the journey not the end game. EQ did not have any end game until well into their 3rd expansion pack. The entire focus of EQ until Velious was group...

Cash in on the wow phenomenon, as has been tried by countless other games since 2005? Well, at least we know we didnt miss anything, just another wow clone that didnt suck away our next $60.

I think that the focus needs to be taken away from the end game raiding and more on the journey. The journey does not have to suck, or be just a spell/skill learning curve on your way to the "real game". Fuck that! This is where games like WoW took the direction of mmorpgs in an entirely wrong...

But its not atruewow clone, I mean their exclamation marks were bigger, right? Glad to know we didnt end up missing much.

Man Ive been telling my wife for the last 8yrs that I would get one just too chicken shit to do it. Ive been playing with fire too. Sometimes shit happens when we both get fucked up. But its worked for the last 8 yrs! Ive heard tons of horror stories though, its pretty much 50/50 horror to NP...

Soon as I get my new gaming PC set up Ill be in on this shit again too. Both my PCs can play this but the good one, 2nd gen i5, the wife uses every night to do her facebook shit and the one Im on has shit for hard drive space so I cant download this shit without deleting some other crap that I...

I agree Brohemoth. Shit like the cycles in Frontier mountains or Traks teeth. Or camping somwhere and all of a sudden a rare named pops up. There was just tons of this shit in EQ and thats what made the game fun and why you wanted to explore every nook and cranny.

Cannon all the way with cannon lenses. Regardless if its a dslr or an advanced point and shoot. Sonys with the carl zeiss lenses are good, as are the panasonic ones wit the leica lenses.
