    I'm assuming you can still access the island, there will just be no respawns for 6.5 days

    If they merged LJ and RF and set up instancing I wonder how many people would leave. I know I never gave a shit about the bots. But knowing you at least get to do one full boss clear each week is too good to pass up for any "casual" raiding guild.

    I'm going to play one. They are the best 1-50 tank and while they don't add a hell of a lot to a raid until they get the group heals, they're rare enough that you can suck up uncontested loot pretty easily.

    Yeah EQ would have to be really really dead before they shut it off. Once they cook up the right formula for these TLPs they can probably draw a small profit from them for a few years easily. If my guild moves I'll go to the new server. Otherwise I'll just level up an alt in my spare time to...

    If it were 3 day spawns and one guild got them all, the server would die off big time. EQ was never a "small guild," game. Every guild I have ever been in that started having less than 20 people active during prime time died out fast. As it stands there is just enough to stay busy for the rest...

    Hmmm... on all the servers I played on there was one guild that was miles ahead of everyone else and then the 2nd tier guilds rabidly fought each other and had GM interventions with at least 50% of their "races." Veeshan was probably one of the worst servers for this. I bet you there are logs...

    He must have gone back up to 100% after Amicorum wiped on him 2-3 times. Someone was probably stoked to get some scales at least. Speaking of scales, did they leave in the red to green conversion quest? I'm assuming no.

    Doesn't have anything to do with level? I resisted 100% of Ragefire's fears, but only 25% of Talendor's. edit: meant to say I took 75% of talendor's fears.

    Amicorum took a couple shots, then DHS took at least 2 before we found him wandering around 40% health. We had just finished popping a couple ragefires so took a shot and wiped when he was at 5%, DHS finished him from there. I had 196 MR fully buffed and still caught about 75% of the fears at...

    This was basically what we did though we did not know you could out range the aoe. Best attempt was 35% before healers were all OOM.

    How many people does it take to do bixie boss in sky legit? Tried with around 40 ish tonight and it seemed retarded hard. Not sure what we're missing besides more melee dps.

    Man I forgot about SoD. How is it doing? I had a 30ish necro and shaman a few years ago and got a kick out of it. Didn't really find any friends though so burnt out on the solo game. I still thought it was cool how they used EQ assets to make up new content.

    LJ raiding isn't that bad. My guild has had plenty of stuff to do during prime time. If we had a force just a couple of hours earlier(even an hour in lots of cases) it would be easy to get dragons or gods. We've gotten plenty of sky time too. I don't know what all MM has been getting, but it...

    3 months ago I would've doubted the Ion connection, but I've been watching and it does appear to be true so I'll eat my words on that and I have to agree that it does appear that MM wants to hog content one way or the other. Either by back-dooring their buddy guilds into the rotation or by...

    Holy Christ Darth and Yawg look like some real toolbags. The thing is, it's not even that their position is a bad one. It would be pretty easy to say look, we want Efreeti Cycle, our goal has been to kill all this shit first and since we don't have DBG enforcing anything anymore, we'll work...

    Scale not match. There is a difference. And yeah I truly don't think the krono market will be as crazy as the current TLP because playing armies won't be as possible so the need for multiple subs will drastically decrease.
  24. alavaz

    New Progression Server confirmed

    I kinda doubt that. If anything the cost for krono will scale closer to live. If people can't play 12 accounts at once whats the point of buying a whole bunch of krono?

    Even though instancing aren't "the classics," at this point it just seems pretty stupid to not do it. Even if it was just 2 instances, one that was entirely FFA and one that had a stupid rotation for it.

    I haven't been on in two weeks due to moving. Had 50 rolled back on me twice before I had to pack it up to move. Is pohate a shitshow? I want to get them gears once I get a new desk and can set up my PC.

    Yeah I guess I should amend that to say "box management programs," in general. Basically, allow as many boxes as you want, just don't allow a 3rd party program to manage all of them.

    All they have to say is that if you use ISBoxer you'll be banned. Well and then actually ban people. Boxing more than a handful of accounts without ISBoxer would be pretty god damn hard and not very effective IMO.

    I'm strictly speaking in the context of first in force - and in that context it's not different. If two guys can log in whatever magic number constitutes "force" then who cares if those toons are his own krono paid accounts or accounts that are all paid for by different individuals? Assuming...

    More characters doesn't exactly equate to more boxing. Whether you have access to 18 accounts paid for by others or yourself its still 18 accounts you can bring on at once from a single computer. Anyway no reason to beat a dead horse socking is the way to raid these days I guess.

    New Progression Server confirmed

    I wouldn't say boxing was less common. Two guys could easily control a raid force on all progression iterations thus far. The point I was trying to make is that if no box works the way it's supposed to, it won't be easily possible to have one person log in more than 3 or 4 toons - which may make...

    I guess I am way out of touch with modern EQ then. It seems like holding 40+ people online for a whole window would be ridiculous, though I guess you can go AFK and just come back as soon as you get a text message.

    Even if there had to be a player behind every 1-2 accounts? On top of that, wouldn't it leave other targets open if some guild wanted to sock a specific mob for the whole window? I don't particularly care, just curious. I always enjoyed the way FiF used to work where you pulled, got an...

    If the nobox BS works out right then maybe they could do FiF with a PNP. I'm assuming the reason FiF won't work now is because of the 12-box socks?

    VMs of any kind are very easily detectable. VMWare for sure gets you an insta-ban. If they could detect and ban ISBoxer they would not need to clamp the client because it would make playing more than 2-4 accounts pretty hard.

    Lockjaw has been awesome. I've been able to pretty much always find a group on my shaman. I think rogue's are pretty much the only class having a rough go. If you like tanking or healing, you can pretty much always have a group. Go mage or necro if you'd rather solo.

    There will probably be a lot of 2-4 boxers. If they really wanted to cut down on boxing, they'd find a way to disable ISBoxer. That would make playing more than 2 accounts (playing them well anyway) pretty difficult. I know they started banning accounts launched from a VMWare machine a few years...
