Does anybody have a copy of EQW 2.47 somewhere? I want to see if that version works better, but the EQW website went down god knows how long ago. Somebody should track down the dude who wrote it and beg him for the source. Maybe there is a way to modernize the program so that sending...

I don't move my windows, as I use 3 physical machines, but try the SetWinPos comand. i.e. <SetWinPos 1050 -10> If that doesn't work, use the Run command to execute a batch file that will copy an already edited eqw.ini file before executing eqw.exe. i.e. <Run C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe "/c...

First robe drop off revamped CT in Velious on Druzzil Ro. My guild awards it to me, some dude loots it and does a /q before I can get it. (I two boxed) Of course I was the one doing the news for my guild's website, so I made sure people knew this guy's name. GM gave it to me in a day or two.

I've no doubt as to their abilities as players, but they are already decked out in time gear, and for them to kill ToV mobs or farm Lcea with me would be nothing but charity and I have no idea why they would want to put themselves through that. I was hoping to find some people who also needed...

Because PoP content requires charming, kiting, and handling multiple high DPS mobs at once. What I'm really looking for are some regulars to group with; not just a one-time deal. (although that would be fun too) Maybe have our own IRC channel to communicate in or something so we can alert...

So now that it looks like I'll get to stay here awhile longer, and I have several 65 with plenty of AAs, I'm at the point where I'm running out of things I can do alone. I was curious if there were others in my situation that would like to tackle some 1-2 group oriented content. What I want...

Are you sure it's not the known dual-core issue with Everquest clients? Even the modern EQ client has this issue. If you have an older dual core processor, it can screw up the speed the client runs at or have other weird display problems. The solution is to force it to one core. Try...

To those of you getting the "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000135" error when using the new PC client hack: installing theMicrosoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)will fix it.

SOE are the biggest board nazis I've ever seen. I've made three posts on the official EQ Mac Announcements board and 2 were deleted. All you have to do is mention 'pc client hack' in your post and you can't count on your post being there in a few hours; made all the more frustrating in that...

Interesting. In the readme file, he says"MQ2 does NOT contain any active hacks like warp and the likes, nor do we support thoose kind of hacks."If they are serious about limiting MQ2's functionality to a mere in-game map and other features found in later clients, then that would be a small...

Yeah, I might prefer a tradeskill exp bar instead of that. My number of combines to 240 from 188 (the end of 'easy' skillups) was very close to expected though. (1000) I was seriously getting an increased heart rate at some points doing fucking tradeskills. That's EQ for you. I do like how...

EQ just relies heavily on the random number generator, and true randomness is very streaky. Here is my smithing log on Al'Kabor: Now keep in mind, each COMBINE, not skillup, was about 5 minutes of farming-- and I assure you I am able to farm these mats faster than just about anybody...

Well I have a suggestion for Yeahlight: make your own custom server, but also make a classic server using Project EQ's database. I just checked out Project EQ's website yesterday, not knowing entirely what it was. It is in fact exactly what Yeahlight needs: he made the server code, they made...

Even playerauctions only lists 18 items (including WTBs) for all servers, and 81 account offers that are full of 'never been owned' powerleveled accounts. That is still FAR FAR less interest than eqmac or p99 considering the relative user base sizes.

Sony half-assed their progression servers because of the development costs to do it 'right', I assume. Maybe the growing popularity of p99 and eqmac will convince them to devote more resources to the next one. Incidentally while I was looking at redguides, I noticed that like 90% of the RMT...

Yeah I was bored not having EQ to play and did some googling to see what the evils were doing and found that thread. Also, they are getting MQ2 to work for eqmac's PC client; and if for some reason they can't get a PC client working, they will port it over to the mac because "the mac client is...

Actually I agree with this in a way; melee and tanks especially need to be supported by the group's other members. My friends and I generally powerlevel our tanks after our other characters get higher. We also work together to gear him. I think playing the game like Diablo 2 and leveling...

Actually, at the time, more people were against spending all those billions on the Apollo program than were for it. NASA got the funding it did because lots of stuff NASA does is useful to the military. One reason we had shuttles instead of capsules was because the military wanted the ability...

I concur with this. Ogre SK is the best tank for group oriented content on p99, IMO. The stat bonuses of Ogres are not trivial in this era; it's not just the stun immunity. He'll also have clarity always available, which is important for hybrids. (standing regen) The exp penalty for that...

I couldn't log in to give it to you if I had wanted to

Now I'm sad I burned out last winter sitting in FG for many hours and camping that stupid ring. One motivation I have to make my videos is to record some memories of a server I might be cut off from at any time. Although the funny thing about EQ, it eats up so much of your time that being...

Extreme powerleveling, at least for first characters, kills the desire to play. Everybody I've powerleveled quit soon after. In some cases every day for the better part of a week to a high level only to see them quit days after it ended. When you get a paladin from 1 to level 20 in a 2-3...

Not only were cracked staves 1pp+, but some rusty weapons and all cloth armor pieces from level 1 decaying skeletons vendored for 2g. Level 8 spells cost over 4pp each after all, so a plat wasn't that much. Level 8 wisps could drop greater lightstones that vendoered for 4pp and could be...

Ladar Levison is a freedom fighter and a hero. Men like him, Snowden, andNicholas Merrillkeep this country from dissolving into what the founders rebelled against. Respect is due. All the liberals who don't criticize Obama because 'he's our guy' can go fuck themselves.

He either boxed a cleric out of group/logged one in to res or he's a liar. You don't do repeated large AoE pulls without dying, I don't care how good you are. Since I still play the game, and actually did this last week, I can speak to this. First, 4 wizards is redundant. 3 is the most...

I know that. I said you can opt out ofGooglescanning your email by using something like Lavabit. Incidentally Lavabit's main selling point was that they encrypted user email with keys that included the customer's password, so even Lavabit themselves could not read customer email without it...

Actually the reason why the Gazughi ring and Mosquito boots are so expensive is because charmers use them to instantly break charm. Instantly breaking charm is important when you don't perma pet and you charm stuff to low health, break charm, and kill it. Also, they are rare. I don't know of...

There is a difference between algorithms scanning keywords in email to better select the ads to deliver, and algorithms scanning email for keywords to determine weather or not a human is going to read it or if it should be archived in a database somewhere. Furthermore Google tells users they...

Many of my favorite memories of EQ are really simple stuff. Watching it rain and listening to the thunder as a newbie; watching the high level mobs roam islands while on a boat; people getting excited to buy sharpening stones off of other players in Qeynos since the nearest vendor for it was in...

I made a new video. If you liked the previous ones, you'll like this one; I put a lot of effort into it. This will probably be the best one I ever make for EQ.

Storming a terrorist compound in a foreign country (that we're not already occupying) would constitute an act of war if I'm not mistaken. America loves its double standards, but imagine our reaction for a moment if a foreign power we didn't like very much sent armed combatants into our...

If anybody took my statement to mean 'gmail uses SSL so nobody can read it!' then God help them. I merely said that employing SSL increases the privacy level and that it shows a DESIRE (desire being the point I wanted to make) for privacy, not that you'll be 100% safe from powerful entities...

You're the one who replied to me, dude. And ethics and law are not the same thing, but morality is the driver for what becomes law and what gets repealed. Ethics matter. I want the government to have to get a 'super warrant' as the eff put it to wiretap INDIVIDUALS BY NAME and then serve...

Dianne Feinstein is the most dangerous woman in America and my least favorite Senator. I say this as a liberal. Her attacks on the first amendment aren't new. Ever more knee-jerk laws passed after a tragedy that don't even solve the problem. It'll be gone if it ever gets to the SCOTUS though...

Yes yes, I know SSL isn't some magic bullet that makes email unreadable by all third parties. It DOES, however, make it unreadable to your ISP when you access your gmail. ISP might also include wifi hotspots and such. My point was that using SSL is basically saying 'I desire privacy and...

This is long. I only visit once or twice a day because I have shit to do. Think of it as multiple posts. There is lots of whitespace. I did not claim it was illegal in the post you replied to. I said it was 'wrong' and 'abusive'. I realize that you're a lawyer-in-training, but try to...

Making 'radical' changes to the FISA court is essentially admitting wrongdoing or at least gross incompetence. What Obama said he wants to do now is make it an adversarial process because... it currently is NOT. There is a term for courts that aren't adversarial-- kangaroo courts. The 'no...

Christ, I actually used a lavabit account to register at tracker sites with. They shall be celebrated as martyrs in the privacy war.

I used to love this show as a teenager. This stuff tends to lose appeal the more science educated you become, but it can still be entertaining. Hah, I still have this

Putting "everyone but me is complicit!" in my mouth is a silly way to argue against me. And there are a small number of people who deliberately live off a small enough income to not pay income tax so they don't have to help pay for the wars. It's rather extreme but I can't help but admire...
