    Everquest II

    This was brought up SO many times to the devs (consolidating ability bloat). Their standard answer was that they didn't want to upset the current playerbase. Always the typical SoE shortsightedness. A long term fix would have gone a long way in expanding a game that had so much potential! They...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Earliest exploit I remember back in 2000 was some fairly trivial tradeskill armor combine that sold for more than the cost of components. I was low teens and clicking combine like crazy for a week straight. (no automation apps back then) When all was said and done, I was balling around in twin...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Strayed slightly off topic, but best boat story was a guild PoSky raid. The usual strat was simply to jump off the island when you finish a raid where you safely land in the water in the Freeport harbor. Lo and behold, as we are falling you can see the boat pulling into Freeport. Half a dozen...

    New Zealand

    Travel time isn't an issue. The place isn't really that busy and nothing is that far apart. The issue is there is SO MUCH to see and do that you would likely run out of time. If you are an outdoorsy type, I suggest to focus on the South Island. I spent roughly 3 weeks alone on the south island...

    Yes, it is a bit of a confusion the 2A chargers for Samsung had been out for many years. That was standard fare for Samsung, while Apple stuck to 1A watching paint dry slow charging. You could still put your Samsung on a 1A charger, but it would basically charge at half speed. A lot of the old...

    I read an article recently where they said they interviewed something ridiculous like 1000 kids for the boys' roles alone. Kudos for being thorough and hitting the mark!

    Moving out of country - USA to somewhere else?

    I would really take a look at your Cisco Networking career though. If a country is going to hire a foreigner for a job like that, they are typically going to hire an Indian / other Asian to do the job for a fraction of what you would be paid. Indians are just as qualified and work for far less...

    Don't they have mercenaries in EQ2 now? If you can't solo, I am sure a merc would go a long way.

    Smartphones

    And for clarification, a standard 2.0A adapter is not going to enable "fast charging". There's a special one that varies output (adaptive charger). Notice the text and icon on this wall plug.
  22. Jysin

    Smartphones

    You must use the newer Adaptive Fast Charger at the wall outlet in conjunction with that pad for it to work. If you use the old adapter with the new pad, you are still going to charge at the old slow regular rate. (I found this out the hard way too) The cord itself makes no difference.

    Trolls were nice because they were the only regen for original release. Iksar didn't come out until Kunark, but I always throught the regen was the same at level 60 as trolls. Plus they had a nice AC bonus and max swim skill. Iksar were pretty baller. Ogre frontal stun immunity was pretty OP...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    Shields were a thing for warriors come end of PoP (RZ shield). If I remember correctly, the AC on shields added like raw AC and was pretty powerful. Plus, they usually had a high +shielding or block mod.

    Smartphones

    The newer ones will actually say "fast charging" on your screen if it is working correctly. Using the older chargers will simply say "charging". (This goes for both Qi wireless and wired chargers)

    Home buying thread

    @Poster Normally, I would agree 100%. My big hesitation is due to the current stock market that seems to be pretty damn oversold. I feel that if I keep investing right now, it is a pretty big gamble, while the house is a sure thing. If the market took a massive 10-20% dip in a correction, I...

    Retirement bullshit

    I got out of the Navy at 24 and got a cushy contracting job. Been doing it ever since. The smartest move I ever made was to max out my 401k contributions. I figured it was money I never had up until that point, so I never considered it as a loss out of my paycheck. We get some new hires, some...

    Wine and How to Impress.

    Fuck Bordeaux. Burgundy is where the nice French wine is. Lots of small vineyards though, so it is a complete crapshoot. Echezeaux Grand Cru has some nice ones. I agree with @Deruvian that Gran Reserva Rioja has some good bang for buck! I have been hooked on New Zealand Sav Blancs since my...

    So, I have been working overseas the last ~15 years as a means to save money and get ahead. I've got a fat 401k built-up, which gives me a nice peace of mind. The situation I find myself in now is that I am looking to relocate back to the US in the next year or two. Here's the housing question...

    Pyzjn is still the bane of EQ for me. I have camped and killed her dozens of times across Live, Emu, etc servers. Never once had the GBS drop. I swear the day I loot one is the day I win EQ! Also related, I always wondered if the GBS was part of a broken quest. It identified as "Varsoon's...

    Everquest II

    Eh, I went hard and was in Xanadu for Beta and launch. I played a Guardian, so naturally quit the game during DoF with the tank changes. I came back during EoF through Kunark sporadically. The game had so much wasted potential. Props to Hartsman for making Kunark enjoyable though!

    Similarly, my first awe inspiring moment in EQ was as a lowly teen barbarian in Everfrost hunting mammoths. Lo and behold I wander near Permafrost and see this tiny gnome necro fear kiting Ice Giants! Definitely my first big "oh shit" moments!
