    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    I needed the key to get into Seb. Not sure if that's changed in the last week. But yeah, if you're not running MQ2, I have no idea why not. Get it, and you too can track.

    Eh? I don't know how what I said would imply that. I was just saying that if we're 95 light years away, and radio waves travel at light speed, and they're listening, they probably know we're here.

    Trying to figure out how a non-contact injury could be so bad, but it sounds like Bridgewater's injury may be career ending.

    Yep, EQEmu's proved that I can. I feel like I spent more time in SolB though, but that place is a maze now.

    Good to hear. I guess my main worry was that it ends up being one of those things that in 10 years looks dated. But because it looks like wood, I'm not sure if that'll be the case. They'd be more expensive than wood, but I feel like they're a perfect material to use for where I live.

    So looks like Green Bay has the NFC North locked up. I'm liking the Redskins' schedule chances more and more. Steelers have suspensions to start the season. Cowboys are without Romo. Vikings now without Bridgewater. Really, the only teams that scare me are the Packers, Cardinals, and Bengals.

    Yes, once you use a key it's added to keyring. Your question about soloability is hard to answer without knowing level, aa's, class, etc.

    Just googled it, didn't realize radio waves travel at the speed of light. I figured they'd move slower. I take back what I said then, that's ridiculously close for space. If it is actually a civilization, it'd also mean they're close enough to probably know we're here if they're listening.

    I didn't read the article, but several cities have something like that already. I know San Diego does for sure, called car2go. You basically just find one of their cars, activate it with your app, and leave it wherever (there are restrictions about how it has to be accessible). They're all...

    This is the only option, in my opinion. I tried to get keyed and it's just not worth it. I think I got to island 5 or 6 (have the Spiroc key item), but I gave up because...why? I may go back to finish them just to kill EoV for people, but even doing one kill and turning it in over and over...

    Wouldn't they be radio waves, and take significantly longer than that?

    Surprised there aren't more posts about it. Seen a shit load of articles about it on my Facebook. Not that it matters too much, as 95 light years is fucking far. So unless this is a super advanced alien civilization that is capable of traveling that fast, they're probably all extinct. That's...

    To be honest, I figured he had died like 10-15 years ago. Probably in some of my all time favorite movies though.

    Anyone got experience, or seen up close, the wood-appearance tile? Looking at individual pieces of tile I really like it, but I'm worried that actually putting it down that it'd look cheap. I live in the desert, so tile would be nice because it keeps cool, and I can use it throughout (like in...

    Good to know. I guess most of the gear prior to PoP will end up being shit from the Velious raid targets then.

    You should be able to get TRT from a general practitioner, as long as your testosterone is low. Posting these videos as a reminder that I should watch them, probably every 6 months. If you lift, you probably need to watch them if you haven't. I'm considering doing Smolov Jr in about 2...

    Nice. I should be able to hit that this week if I really grind them out. So if anyone needs help with Luclin flagging I can hopefully do it. I guess the big thing will be figuring out where to gear up in Luclin. I definitely don't have 145hp gear in most slots. Maybe two or three.

    Minimum of 46, just because you need the planes (Fear, Hate, Sky) for the flags. I think I finished em up around 50 or 51. There are plenty of people willing to help kill the mobs for you, so it's mostly just an issue of leveling. And you can grind levels incredibly fast here. I did 60-65...

    He actually doesn't live super frugally. In fact, he makes a point to mention how he spends a shit load on groceries and isn't doing that. The "sanctimonious" part which I could see being off-putting is his environmentalist stuff. He's big on biking, energy conservation, and just generally not...

    Luckily the Kunark flagging mobs are 2 hour respawns, so even if they're not up it's not a long wait.

    You basically apply for whatever you can get. Don't necessarily pass over ones that it doesn't look like you have the educational requirements for. Those are kind of bullshit, because no PhD is working as a GS-11 or whatever the "equivalent" education is. I'm currently a GS-12 equivalent with a...

    Sounds like you're trying to time the market, and that's a losing proposition most of the time. People have been claiming the market is going to pull back for the last 2-3 years, but it's still going up. I frequent the Mr. Money Mustache forums a lot, and there are people there "waiting" for the...

    I was going to ask in game, but I curious about how many AA's you have on Flatline right now; since you seemed to be able to tank AoW/KT/Vulak, etc. I want to know about what I should shoot for (gear notwithstanding).

    What are you using plat for? I haven't bought an augment for monk, based on the description it seems like it'd be a waste. I did Droga today and with a bit of AA's I fucking crush through mobs there. I think with another 50-100 AA's, I'll be able to start tanking some of the Velious flag mobs...

    If not for the respawn rates, I don't think flagging is too bad. Although, once again that's up until Velious. I'm sure once I'm in PoP gear I'll feel like Velious is a joke though.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Some of the Velious shit really ramped up the difficulty in my opinion. Almost all the flagging mobs would probably take at least a full group of people to do, assuming no overgeared help. I think that actually VP was probably the first place where I was like, shit, I definitely need help.

    I think this is where we end up differing from several people in the guild. Some people want to figure out quests, and others of us want to just enjoy grinding levels and gear. Djevel mentioned that he found the NPC's because they're ones unfamiliar to him from classic. I addressed that before...

    I don't know how you people watch preseason. I remembed that the Rams game was on cause it's local. Fuck watching this. It's atrocious. And meaningless. First preseason game I've tried to watch this year, and definitely the last.

    And that's kind of my issue with this 65 quest. There are literally thousands of NPC's, and unless you're some kind of fucking Everquest savant and can pick out the NPC who doesn't belong in each of the dozens of zones, you'd never know if it were a normal quest or this custom one. Like, the...

    This isn't even surprising though. The only surprising thing is how early into the season it happened. But literally everyone has been predicting Romo going down with an injury. It's what he does.

    Threw me off that there's an Emulator forum now. Couldn't find the thread at first. Just hit 60 on both characters. I'm guessing it's grind out AA's and hit up Velious mobs (Luclin flags) now? Epics are done. What else can I do?
