    I haven't had any issue yet with PVP in the later zones. I am 44, now in Windscour Savanah. I am always soloing. I got into pvp action once or twice in Halcyon, maybe 4-5 times in Hellswamp. None in Sandkeep, none in Rockbourne, and none in Windscour so far. In both Halcyon and Hellswamp...

    I'm on Naima, which I believe is the lowest population server of the original ones. The 3 of us never experienced a queue longer then 50 minutes. Most of the time it's about 30 minutes or so.

    I'm having as much fun as I was hoping from my alpha experience. My main is now 38, in 34 crafted armor. I have the mats for my level 40 armor and the skill to make it. She's essentially made 22 to 38 with almost nothing but farming, crafting, etc... My alt, which is strangely enough 44...

    Smartphones

    Upgrade my iPhone 4S to the new iPhone 6. Huge improvement, I'm really happy. It's so much bigger but way lighter, I feels weird. I held the iPhone 6 Plus and it just felt too big for me, but the regular 6 is a nice size.

    I'm playing on Naima with 2 real life friends and the longest queue any of us experienced so far has been 50 minutes. I'm having a blast so far. Lucky enough to get my house, large farm and small farm side by side in Vilanelle, near the water and an aquafarm in the water. Got my clipper...

    While adding servers might help with the queues somewhat, it's not a guarantee becuase it requires people to switch servers. Some will for sure, but a lot will remain becuae their guild is there, or their friends, or becuae they manage to get a house and farm, or have a high level already and...

    I needed some charcoal to make my level 30 armor, so I decide to do a solo run to Two Crowns, friend decided to join me. Totally empty of people we each got 15 charcoal...ended up doing 2 more runs since it was so quiet there. I should have 45 tomorrow in my mailbox. Wasn't at all what I was...

    Calling them illegal farm is a bit misleading. Essentially you can plant stuff just about anywhere in the game, but stuff planted in your farm is protected, no one but you can harvest them. Stuff planted elsewhere is free for the taking by anyone, although they will get criminal points. Planting...

    I rolled on different server, and tonight at 9pm EST, queue was 350, and about 20mins wait. Or course my characters were missing so I had to relog and requeue...but it was just 20 mins again. Killed an evil Nuian with a pack at the Solis docks while turning in a quest near there...nice bonus.

    Well I got my house, my large farm, and my clipper. So all in all a good weekend, house and large farm side by side in villanelle near the water...I more gilda and I think I will get the aquafarm too in the water near my house. I'm happy considering the craziness that was the land grab.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I'm totally liking the game, but it's not a play all the time for a long term type of game for me. For me in a strange way, it feels like FPS version of Marvel Heroes with how the game is setup. A social hub with vendors, story missions that can be replayed. Loot grind end game. The...

    Going to bed early to hopefully wake up early and get a few hours of play before going to work tomorrow. Not so obsessed as to put up my alarm for 3am EST though, just hope I wake up by myself though. Worse case I sleep a long night so I can play late tomorrow. It's a win-win scenario. I...

    This is a huge disappointment, the only issue that truly bothered me was the Archeum drop rate. All the rest were annoyances but I considered the Archeum to be game breaking. Sunlight was the one that required the biggest increase but moonlight needed a pretty big increase too. Keeping your...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I think it's a huge mistake to announce the casting of The Rock as Black Adam before announcing the casting of Shazam himself. To me it's sounds like it will be a star vehicle for The Rock, not for whoever plays Shazam. Unless they plan on having him in all Shazam movies, or become a big...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    While I had played Meridian 59 for years and UO before EQ, EQ is where most of my fondest memories are from. And most of them were about the world itself. I started in Qeynos, and one of the my first wow moment was in Qyenos Hills and finding the Blackburrow entrance with the gnoll's head...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I haven't read the hobbit in 20+ years, so the movies not being accurate is not what's bothering me..since to be honest, I barely remember the specific of the story. The thing is mostly that the "amazement" is missing, and there's nothing you can do about it. The Hobbit movies are not as...

    You didn't have to type anything in the last few King Quest, and most of the other Sierra's quest series toward the end.

    The point is risk vs reward...people sitting at the dock take no risk and minimal effort for high reward. The merchant takes high risk in crossing the sea, and a lot of effort, gathering, harvesting, making the pack etc....or the reward. At least forcing people at sea where it's always pvp...

    My only issue with the trade packs to be honest is people camping the trader NPCS with zero risk. Pirates at sea is more interesting, it requires more skills for pirates to locate the merchant, chase him, attack him etc...there is also the risk that they might be attacked by other pirates...

    I'm curious to how they'll handle the headstart. If they go with few servers that fill up during headstart with nothing but patrons that will be a big problem for people joining later on those servers, even a problem for some of the patrons. Might end up being easier to get land on a new...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Adam Warlock major fault is that he's always been somewhat mentally unstable. He's not emotionally balanced either, he tends to be extremely doubtful, wallowing in self-pity, or self-centered and overconfident. In either case, it has lead him to make extremely bad decisions which have...

    Amazing movie, I was thoroughly entertained. Excellent pacing between action, comedy, etc... It's been a long time since I saw a sci-fi movie that made me wish I was there, the Marvel universe(literally) looks beautiful.

    NHL 2013 - 2014 Season Thread

    I think Bob Mckenzie of tsn said it best. He said Montreal likes, maybe really likes Subban but don't love him. And you have to love someone at 8-9+ per year for long term. The other part that was mentioned is Carey Price's contract. Montreal consider him their best and most important player...

    What do you guys think of a Soothsayer and Nightblade as a duo. Soothsayer: Shadowplay, Auramancy and Vitalism. Nightblade: Shadowplay, Auramancy, and Defense. Essentially both have sneak, teleport, and cc-breakers(immunity)...one tank, one healer. Our focus is not on pvp, but when...

    I think part of the solution with the trade packs banking, is that people essentially camp the "turn in" NPC. I'm not sure if this would be feasible but it would be nice if the profit splitting would smaller the closer you get to the turn in NPC, and larger the further away. What I mean is if...
