    Everquest II

    Those were pretty much the best expansions the game had so....nothing of value was lost?

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Do you mean using it as a box or just to play? Box you can just Steam stream it to your main pc. Just using it I've played from bed launched from Steam and just binding the keys I wanted to the gamepad.

    Everquest II

    I assume stats on items are still screwed even after 10 passes at this point? Did they ever re-add the Avatar encounters besides Tunare?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'd almost have rather paid $2 like an extra retainer to keep permanent housing. Whenever I quit I had to debate whether it was worth it to continue subbing just to keep my mansion.

    Do you still have to PvP for housing or did they fix that?

    LLM's as I understand it are just statistical models calculating the probability of what word is likely to come after it in a sequence given its training data. They have trouble with complex instructions specifically because of this. There's no real brain or logic behind it other than the...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    You honestly have to try really hard to get banned. I ran 6 box groups for years on various different rulesets and the worst I ever got was a week suspension. They don't want to ban anyone unless given really bad publicity. We had a dude that blatantly warped his 50 box crew everywhere...

    Ashes of Creation

    The problem with alot of the games features is it relies heavily on a very active user base. If PvP MMO's have taught me anything, their shelf lives are usually very short.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Not sure how useful it'll be for people since I'm sure everyone has their own solutions at this point, but years ago I wrote an auction and points system manager for discord. I've since revamped it with the UI elements discord added relatively recently. It can auto handle silent and open...

    He's joking lol, this is the real war music: Iirc the war is broke 90% of the time and only works again after a server reset.

    Necro they just added a level decay to it, which they probably should have done 20 years ago. Those items you never forgot though.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I played the game for what it was, story driven fashion quest, and in those areas the game is fantastic. Shadowbringers and Heavensward are probably some of the best expacs I've played to date. I just don't think generic itemization because of imbalance issues is a reason to not do...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That was always my biggest gripe with the game is the itemization has been terrible since day one. I can't really recall even one item I ever got excited about. With 6 month raid cycles where gear is basically obsolete who cares if something might crop up occasionally that's overpowered.

    I haven't played in years but that honestly looks no different than the epic weapons 5 years ago lol. Are they still doing just +1% betterer stats to everything?

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

    I can't really give an opinion yet since I've played neither, but I don't get the EQ vibe from EA at all. It just comes off as very generic in the videos ive seen of it.

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

    The best mechanic of original 14 iirc to get full skill credit you had to take damage. So you had to fight basically only AoE mobs and turn them on the group to get exp. They went full circle.

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

    Nah you're thinking of 14. FFXI was the eq clone that actually did fairly well (and had more subs for its time) for a long time. We haven't honestly had a good EQ style game since....never I guess. Nothing else has even come close to EQ style gameplay since FFXI. Original 14 was just awful...

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

    Honestly there hasn't been a decent EQ style game in a very long time. What even is there really? FFXI? The rest that have come out were WoW abominations. I'm fully onboard for the passion projects.

    Keyboards & Mice

    They were a nice way to bind abilities with games that had retarded amounts. Autohotkey just seems like an unnecessary layer but I guess I'm def in the minority here. Literally nothing exists that I can find, not even a custom keyboard. Not sure whether to keep using my K95 or put it in a...

    Keyboards & Mice

    Probably a boomer question but what happened to all the G/macro key keyboards? I used a Corsair K95 for years and used the macro keys all the time in MMO's. Can't find anything at all that has more than 5 macro keys now.

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

    On one of the livestreams for M&M I remember the guy saying their operating costs were around $1500 a month. Granted they're all volunteering but still, really shatters the you need tens of millions to develop a MMO trope.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Desktop Computers

    Not a very popular brand but Zotac sells open box 3xxx cards often on ebay for relatively cheap. I've gotten a couple 3090's for 650 in the past and have had no issues (iirc its 2-3 year warranty). The 3080's are like 450.

    Vanishing of Physical Media - Digitalization of Everything.

    You can mitigate alot of this with redundancy and which NAS software you use. I use Unraid primarily because if you lose a disk and can't rebuild the array, you at least have all the data on the good disks that you can still recover. There's always that risk of catastophic failure, and most of...

    Vanishing of Physical Media - Digitalization of Everything.

    Storage has become so cheap to the point you can host your own streaming service. I tried the physical media at one point but you collect so much junk that takes up space when you can just put a room full of movie discs on one ssd.

    I'll say at least from a coding perspective chatbots have been amazing. I'm using a local WizardLM-34B specializing in coding and for self teaching it's saved me countless hours of frivolous searching for use cases relating to things I'm doing. Even if I cant get it to do exactly what I want...

    How realistic is this type of job change for guys over 40? From just glancing at the salesforce reddit, there seemed to be alot of older people complaining they get passed over regularly due to their age.

    Home Network Advice

    If you're like me and have alot of old hardware from previous pc builds Unraid might be an option. It has the added benefit of if your redundancy fails you wont lose all your data, just the drives that failed. I installed a 4 bay hotswap on an old pc and have been using that setup for years...
