    question about vanilla Eq's night sounds

    Those sounds weren't limited to just night. They played at all times in some wilderness areas- I remember specifically BB Mnts. And yeah, it's a very memorable/nostalgic sound. I've said for years that EQ's sounds- from the music, to combat sounds, spell sounds, environment sounds, etc...

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for. It's also pretty much what I was thinking too. Evans has been almost entirely bust this year and he hasn't followed any patterns either- meaning he will inexplicably sputter in games that he should do well in. He has the 'potential' to break it...

    My options are: Stephon Diggs Antonio Brown Mike Evans Amari Cooper Brown is obvious and Diggs has been very good to me every week Also Hurns, who may have a big week due to Cromarti coverage

    Mike Evans or Amari Cooper?

    Fargo

    Absolutely ruins the flow. TV shows are often scripted with commercials in mind, but tv shows that work to capture the cinema feel (like Fargo) work so much better without interruption.

    You're an evil bastard Dumar- like those bars with the signs saying "Free Beer Tomorrow." No matter how much time passes, we can be assured that Beta will be in 2 years and alpha sooner than that! Keep hope alive.

    You need to put a date in your sig to make it more meaningful, Dumar.

    Local Fantasy league. I had a good draft. I don't have Ryan- I forgot. It's between Dalton and Cam. I may be wrong, but I can't see trusting Lacy until he proves he is not a dud. He hasn't done shit all year and I've lost by starting him over Murray before. CJ2K is a new pickup.

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    Ok forum bros, made some serious lineup changes and need some advice: Starting QB: Cam, Ryan, or Dalton? Right now I have Dalton in. RB2: CJ2K, Lacy, or Latavius Murray? Right now I have CJ2K due to Lacy's slump and Murray's tough match. WR3: Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, or James...

    Awesome show. Great casting, writing, acting- everything. Highly recommend. Gets the Arden seal of approval

    The Last Kingdom

    To be fair, he's supposed to be 15 or 16 in the scene you mention. No way for you to know that, of course, unless you read the book. Show is great. Following the books pretty closely and the changes they have made have all been positive. I'm a fairly harsh critic and I am impressed and...

    Was thinking the same thing. I'd be pretty floored if a finished product (or whatever passes for that these days) even sees the light of day. That product being good enough to attract and then keep a substantial playerbase would be like hitting the damn lottery. Don't get me wrong, I hope...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think I understand what you're saying: A lot of people played EQ to get a social "fix" because the options to get that type of social fix were far more limited then than they are now. They played to make friends and meet people and talk and socialize, etc etc. I think you're right. A lot of...

    Are you asking how much of why I played EQ was because it was a social mmog? As opposed to a single player game?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Yeah, we get where you are going and you're right that there are a lot of options now that didn't exist in EQ's "Golden Era." But that's not really why people tolerated/played/enjoyed EQ. I didn't play EQ because there wasn't anything else to do or because my options were limited. I played EQ...

    Let's face it, most of the people in the thread would be very, very happy with an EQ reskin/reboot. They aren't going to find it hilarious, they are going to find it promising.

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Any server on that server list COULD offer what you want. There are dozens and dozens of near empty servers on the server list. You'd honestly have a better chance of lobbying one of those servers. This guy has made it clear in no uncertain terms he isn't allowing boxing. Start working on...

    Is it pure industry nepotism that allows that guy to keep popping up? I'm not trying to be a dick, but he didn't have a great rep at Sigil and my limited experience with him was not fantastic. And then there is quite a bit of angst towards him from his SOE transition. I'd like to think the...

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Basically, yes. But I'd call it less historically accurate and slightly buggier than P99 instead. Bugs aren't really an issue though. I've only encountered one or two small bugs and the admin (can't ever remember his name) is very fast to fix them. The box's db and mechanics are very solid...

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Totally different database and there are a significant number of relatively minor mechanical differences. Philosophically, the servers are identical and practically speaking they are pretty close (so far).

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    I gotcha. Then again, a lot of people would argue playing archaic mmos in general is throwing away your time. If you think those people are wrong, it becomes hard to apply the same criticism to LoF.

    You seem very angry at this poor dude. I'm no revolutionary, but shouldn't he generally be able to do what he wants. Being, you know, his own server and all?

    Legacy of FrostStone - A Velious Server

    Having fun on server so far. For all intents and purposes, it's a mostly deserted p99. Only 10ish people on at any given time. No boxers. Server admin has made it clear he is sticking to his guns about making it legit and never allowing boxing. His goal is to slowly build up like p99 was...

    Legends of the Sword Coast

    Thanks for investigating/reporting. I guess the bottom line is this isn't NWN. There are token creation tools but its extremely limited/restricted. No world building. That sucks. Oh well.

    That's what I was thinking- you can make little one-off dungeon crawls, but no persistent type worlds.

    Can you (or anyone) help me out with a little info. My research indicated the following: 1. You can't world build- i.e., you can do random little dungeons, but you can't make a world with overland, cities, multiple dungeons ect. True? 2. You are limited in the resources/stats/etc you use...

    They have proven they can put out a quality game. Now I just wish they would put out a full open-world BG style SR game. Something where you have full control over a main and up to 5 other characters in a sandbox world. Start in Seattle and just open it up. Find Johnsons and take jobs to...

    Everyone dies of cancer unless something else gets them first. It's not really a question of "if", it's a question of "when" and "where." What really turns people into carcinophobes aren't the stories of the people who die from cancer so much as the stories of people who find cancer early and...
