    Legacy of Norrath - Classic+ EQ Experience

    From what I gather it was the seafurries dropping way more plat than they should. Kind of a gray area as to if it's "exploiting" by just killing a mob and looting what it drops. You could argue that they thought that's just how this server/client works. You could also argue that they should...

    Legacy of Norrath - Classic+ EQ Experience

    My understanding was that a bug that was exploited for quite a while flooded the economy with plat, devaluing currency altogether. It's been fixed but a lot of the higher level players have a ton of money and consequently haven't needed to sell items. There isn't much for sale and when there...

    Legacy of Norrath - Classic+ EQ Experience

    If the other server is really a Kegz server you don't want to play on it. No offense to the guy, but he has shown he doesn't have the temperament to run a server. Emu is full of guys like that, and you can waste a lot of time investing in characters just to have them lose their shit and...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Trying to skim the thread without getting too many inadvertent spoilers- Is the consensus wait until after a major patch fixes a lot of bugs/balancing issues before starting this?

    Better Call Saul

    The other two: Get Shorty Fargo It's hilarious how under the radar Get Shorty is. Easily one of the best shows in recent memory. Two things working against it: 1.They had to be annoying and put it on one of those à la carte networks (AT&T) 2. The name automatically reminds people of the...

    Pet Sematary (2019)

    Usually annoyed with remakes but for some reason this one doesn't bother me. Maybe it's been long enough since the original or maybe the source material is just good enough to warrant it.

    Better Call Saul

    Pace has been annoying for several seasons. It's such a well done show you don't really mind, but a lot of stuff is intentionally dragged out in the way it's shot. A sharp editor could cut every episode down to 20ish minutes of run time without deleting a single scene- just clip and snip the...

    Better Call Saul

    Mike isn't good or bad; he's a man with a code. His code isn't quite as simple as a "No women, no children" but he has one. I think it's fair to say that killing a bunch of German engineers who aren't "in the game" just to keep them quiet doesn't really feel consistent with what we have...

    Well, maybe not the only reason. Everybody knows, if you want some shit engineered to perfection, get German or Japanese engineers.

    Dress Shirts

    Anyone have suggestions for dress shirt brand/style? I'm pretty picky about my dress shirts and I have a hard time finding a brand that fits/works well. The fit that usually works best for me would probably be described as "athletic fit." The really slim stuff chokes me to death and I can't...

    No, seriously, is Kegz running EQ Reborn? Just rolled a char there and I need to know before spending time leveling.

    Get Shorty

    Fantastic show. Definitely flying under the radar right now. This is going to be one of those shows where in a few years everyone is going to be saying, "how did I miss this?"

    Better Call Saul

    That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Jimmy isn't a great guy, but Chuck was his brother and he spent years taking care of him. No indication he wanted his brother to die. Jimmy was clearly very upset when he learned about Chuck's death, it's not like realizing he caused it...

    Bro, this is possibly the one thread that still resembles the early foh board years. This is the exact same argument that has going on since 2005, except the word Vanguard has been replaced with the word Pantheon.

    Deadwood

    According to just about every metric I should love Sopranos. I've been a Gandolfini fan since True Romance, I love the genre, Rome and Deadwood are two of my favorite shows of all time... Yet I still couldn't get into the Sopranos and I can't figure out why. It wasn't bad, it just didn't...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Other than annoying pvp shit, like zone dancing/plugging, zoning never bothered me- as long as the zone times are fast. I liked having dozens of little microcosms (zones) within the broader game world. Different zones had different feelings- different personalities. I liked being able to run...

    My group actually played around with the EQ pnp RPG. I was pretty dubious about it, but it ended up being a blast. The system was well-designed and Norrath makes a surprisingly decent pnp gaming setting. The advantage is that we all knew the setting, so when the GM started describing Felwithe...

    History of FoH

    You didn't play early EQ if you weren't part of at least one fucked up fear raid that resulted in several hours worth of failed CR attempts and several naked deaths.

    My best friend and I actually broke his dad's VCR with this movie when we were kids. His dad was fucking pissed- this was when VCRs were actually pretty expensive. Burned the motor out rewinding, attempting slo-mo, pausing this scene over and over. These were the only tits we had access to...

    I consider p2w anytime you can pay real money to circumvent in game mechanics that those who don't pay real money can't circumvent. That's a long way of saying when you can buy in game shit with out of game money, it's p2w. In early access you aren't circumventing anything. You are still...

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    That's not bad. I'd be solo or with gf. Lots of hobbies though, so I would need a 2BR at min (1100-1300 sq ft) for storage and office space (or a really big 1BR with storage). Haven't really checked out buying prices yet, either. I'd have a firm ceiling of like 400k for a small house (2-3...

    They'll absolutely expand the team regardless of projected financial issues of it's deemed necessary for the project. Can tell you that from first hand experience. Don't use a 'now hiring' sign as any indication of the financial health of a project in this business.

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    I'm actually looking at a job opportunity in Portland myself. My general and halfassed research has turned up pretty positive things so far. Anything I'm missing that would give me pause to move there? I'm in Denver now, so I'm pretty used to the homeless thing and I can deal.
