Building your own box is definitely the cheapest route, however the most convenient (and what I use) is something like a Synology NAS. It has torrrent capabilities, multiple raid levels, web admin, and dozens of other features above and beyond most home use. They can vary from simple 2 bay drive...

Was this Vulak progression server? Vaguely remember I might have been guilded with them too.

Not to derail, but Boxee was bought out by Samsung a few weeks back. I can only imagine they will start to have it built into their future TVs, which will be absolutely perfect!

On my NAS, I can simply dump all of my torrented TV and Movie files (some 20+GB 1080p DTS-HD MA mind you) into a giant folder and my Boxee set top will organize everything and stream / decode on the fly. I dont see this device replacing it anytime soon. If I am not mistaken, this Chromecast...

I've actually been lucky to have a couple donations from rerolled members, but then ran across an old Darkwind guildmate who gave me a big dontation of plat. The Zlandi heart I talked a guy down to 9k.

Only one group where I was showing a new to EQ player (no damn idea how they stumbled across this game or obscure server) the ropes. The rest was pretty much solo with the majority of the XP pushes after an MGB with KEI and Virtue. Field of Bone and Kurns both, to my knowledge, have zone...

Wow, the comments are hilarious on that article.

I started a few days ago on EqMac. 24 Necro named Jysin. Hit me up with some freebie gear people. I have two slots worth a damn (Robe / Mainhand), and the rest pretty much empty!

I installed 8.1 on a virtual machine on my PC and had all sorts of issues with my network storage. Within 15 minutes of dicking around with the OS, I just deleted it. I see no reason whatsoever to move to it over Win 7.

Glad you sorted it out.

THE biggest single framerate killer was enabling shadows. It would basically end up drawing twice. I had a pretty high end PC at the time and you could max most settings for group play with shadows disabled. Raids were an entirely different story. Hell, even my last play through a couple years...

The thing I actually liked that got a lot of criticism (and eventually removed) was the class system. You start the game as nothing on that island with the newbie quests. It gave you a brief introduction as you familiarized yourself with the controls and UI. In the end, you needed to choose good...

Let me first say, congrats on successfully starting your own business! I kind of stumbled across this thread and read it from start to finish. I find it interesting and thank you for your open sharing of your experience. If I may, I would like to just point out a couple things as an outsider...

Late post... I only recently registered. I was in Darkwind from late Velious through GoD. Mortalis vs DW was the only real drama. AoW spawn fights, DW waking Sleeper to cockblock Mortalis, etc. The ONLY time Mortalis was ahead of DW was during Luclin when you guys had some crazy number of...

You are saying you are able to set test tones out via the audio settings in your computer to all 7 speakers? If that was succesful, I would ask what your source videos are. Not all movies are encoded 7.1. You are far more likely to find only 5.1 (no rear channels).

Correct. You only need the massive memory models for ultrawide resolutions. (Triple monitor gaming, etc) If you are 1080p gaming, your money is better spent on the OC version.

Made it to 22 in very short time. If anyone is starting this out, I can't stress the importance of using the places with ZEM (zone experience modifiers) enough. As a Necro, I absolutely blasted away a few levels in Kurn's in an hour. Low mana cost Undead Nukes make it easy, even if you're mostly...

Some either copied the high-end class armor colors to stroke their epeen, but others went for the rainbow atrocities like Nirgon posted. Hell, in Darkwind we had an ogre warrior go for full hot pink.

Do you forget the locked encounters? That was THE #1 biggest mistake of release EQ2. Running by a newbie out in Antonica who's about to die? Cant heal the poor bastard or kill his mob for him. Just sit and watch him helplessly die. Let's make this "MMO" as socially challenging as possible...

While I absolutely agree with you in principle, even EQ1 with it's heavy social requirements took a shit on this when they introduced armor dyes. I loved being able to tell who the other well equipped players were. Cobalt blue warriors, purple clerics, etc all screamed well equipped and (mostly)...

Little late to the party... just registered. DoV itemization was THE reason I stopped playing. All loot was generic x,y,z stat and varying levels of "gooder". One specific slot would have the exact same stats from noobie gear to raid gear, but simply scale in power. Nothing at all in the high...

I'd really appreciate it! I did manage to find some bags. I had forgotten about the Deluxe Toolboxes in PoK for about 1p and change. Char name is Jysin. Also, is there any way to use the old skeleton models? I'm not digging the new ones.

Sucks that pets dont zone with you either. Makes the buffs less effective. I'm most in need of a bag(s) and some cash to buy spells. Zlandicar hearts expensive or tough to come by? Those were nice for twink necros (worn regen).

Just fired this up. Gotta say, its fun remembering zone layouts from memory and have no access to maps! I just wish the draw distance was further (its maxed in options). So, anyone have any unused newbie caster gear for a fledgling Necro?
