    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to regearing. I don't really know how that would work as I'd be totally useless in TSS raids without gear. Maybe buy group gear and do TSS raids and go from there?

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Is Fabled PoP gear considered in Era for TFO? I have a 75 SK with 2600AA who I've been waiting for TFO to catch up with so I can raid Solteris. His gear is all Fabled Time and the level 75 req Eon plated gear from SoD, which while is best in slot for a 75, I am not sure if it is legit for the...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I probably put 5m into a 52 warrior twink on FV. Full Yttrium armor, that 19/18 GoD piercer and 100% best in slot stuff and I could only get Naggy to about 25%.

    The old ssoy had the graphic of the bloodfire, rather than the short sword of morin boomerangy look. I hated that change - I assume they were just too lazy to come up with another texture for bloodfire.

    I've seen my share of failed mass naggy raids as well. Usually employed waves and bind rushing. We definitely had no idea about blocking the AOE with walls or anything of that nature, we all just ran out there and got owned by the breath.

    I find myself in that same place Fish. I dropped one of my boxes to be more group friendly just one time in the last 2 months and my shaman is still 4 levels behind because of it. I really would like to group more but messing up my 5 box dynamic seems not worth it to me. Maybe I'll just level...

    I don't think I've heard of 3 cloaks happening ever. Usually saw one like every 3-4 kills; definitely all GPKs and tash orbs and shit. Even the naggy teeth were pretty rare.

    I used that tutorial hack or something similar to scope out the plane of hate before it was released. I was really surprised to find that it was essentially neriak themed zone.

    Whenever you were in High Passs that audio sound played constantly, at least on P99.

    That's really blatant. He has to be running at 3x bard speed. There used to be flags for that kind of shit, no longer?

    Does anyone else face a bug on the PC client where literally everything on your UI turns off and resets? Sometimes I hit a button and all my group, target, buff, hotkey, etc boxes go away, my ui goes to off mode, and my camera goes to third person. This just happened on a fresh install on my...

    This has to be a super long shot, but anyone want to try to do fear for armor drops? Also, is hate revamped hate?

    Thanks. To anyone who is interested, I've created a spreadsheet which lets you view the zones which are in your level range sorted by ZEM. Useful if you want to quickly figure out where your next hunting spot will be. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0tp4d0cdwybiaw9/7mWt-LNkob

    Torrid - Is there a way to edit the HotkeyNet script to adjust the window positioning in EQW.ini? I usually stagger them like this: Box 1: 1024by768X=1 1024by768Y=-10 Box 2: 1024by768X=1050 1024by768Y=-10 Box 3: 1024by768X=2100 1024by768Y=-10 Box 4: 1024by768X=2900...

    Sub-Forum Name?

    I hated the new forum at first, but I've realized that the only MMO I care about is EQ so it's great to be able to see the activity in all the different threads easily.

    For some reason, I remember always being really upset that I couldn't keep the giant ruby that you got in the tutorial. My perception of the relative power and value of stuff was very skewed when I first started, I'm not sure if it was because I was young and impressionable or just the...

    What level/class are you, Fish? Could always use more EQ mac people to play with (35-50ish toons here).

    Never thought I'd see the day where a genuine SOE server would feel more at risk for a abrupt unannounced closure than its emulator cousin. I'd probably feel more safe with the permenance of my toon on P99 than on EQ Mac at this point. Esp after the layoffs.

    Aye, having the MQ2 devs working on the PC hack worries me that, given the source, MQ2 use on the Mac server will begin to get out of control. If the patch can remedy some of the MQ issues, by virtue of correcting the holes which allow the exploits rather than simply by the new patch version...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    The Freeport revamps were unforgivable. East Commons and Nektulos didn't bother me. Lavastorm kinda sucked. Didn't love making Oasis and S Ro the same zone, but the feel isn't too different. I assume that GF would be left alone because they'd have to A.) revamp Kelethin and B.) revamp the...

    Prioritizing Workflow on the Job?

    I work in the finance department of a medium sized company. Often, the CFO, my director, and my manager all have different projects that they individually want me to focus on. In each of their minds their own projects should be item #1 on my things to do list. I have direct interaction with...

    I was in 14 Days/EoE as well. If I remember right, we had some run ins with your guys up in PoH, Zaide. I think Vulak sucked any desire to play classic on a live PC server out of me. Ths ridiculous strength of mage pets, out oc control F2P boxing and unbalanced out of era mechanics (HT spam)...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    For my level, I've seen one guy who has a scripted box crew aoe group. He has 2 chanters that start casting stuns 2-3 minutes before he starts, then he pulls the zone in small chunks for about 10 minutes then finally nukes it all down. I've seen the guy pulling and theres no break in his...

    I can't figure out if this is related to the PC hack, but often what I type and what the chat outputs are different on this server. It seems to be unable to understand =, %, :, and the like.

    I just use my laptop for the third box. It's actually pretty versatile as you can do stuff like heal at the same time that you're togglign the other two toons.

    Having played in 99 on live, I'm somewhat wondering how accurate of a port to mac this server was in terms of some of its NPC mechanics. The level of overall buggyness that I'm seeing on EQ mac is far beyond what I remember from back in the day. I spent the past few days playing in Unrest and...
