All the old 2e Planescape stuff is amazing. The setting is somewhat hard to run, but reading the material is S+. I'm fortunate to have gotten physical copies of everything long ago because there's little chance that I'd buy stuff now. Most of it has gotten stupidly expensive. For example - A...

Thank you @Tuco.

The people who only lost the Steam cost are fortunate. There were people that spent 100s (some in the 1000s) on the early cosmetic packs and testing phases. I loosely followed this game throughout its life, but never played it because I didn't want to get excited and then have the rug pulled. I...

Look, I get it $400 is a lot of money to a street-shitter, even today. I mean, your national GDP is 85% Lowe's gift cards stolen from 85 year-old grannies.

Seriously, get help. Surely whatever shithole country you're from has socialized medicine so it shouldn't cost anything. Though you might have to wait a year to address your mental-illness. You're a new guy and the massive amount of leeway that we're allowed here may have given you the...

*Edit* I jumped the gun -- seems to be a local issue with the weather being unusually cold.

Ha. From what I have read, I think it's April to May. And I have every intention of revisiting Seb during that event if I'm the correct level. I'm a little confused about some of the Kunark zones though. I saw two different tiers of Fabled loot from there. One had hundreds of HP while the...

Great info. I wouldn't say I "like" tradeskills, but I do them when there's a significant incentive for it. I've watched a few videos and heard mention of a few awesome items that require TS's. An earring is one of them, I think? I've got several of them started (200-250ish skill) from my past...

As I make my way through the levels, can you experienced guys give me a list of items, useful clicks, quests, and zones I should definitely visit? With as many options as I have, I think it'd be easy to miss some gems without a little guidance. There's one item (Jann's Veil) I know I...

I feel like I got put in a time machine. New class, but staring at mob ass in BoT like so many years ago.

Yep, Adetia said the entire racing thing is completely pointless nowadays. And, as you said, the winners are decided by minutes. Not weeks/days like it was in the past. How far can a Journeyman merc take me, solo? I'm running Bard right now, but plan on doing a Shaman Persona and one more that...

Yeah, I'm active and currently leveling a Persona. I'm level 59 and gotten a few AA dumps, but I really had/have no idea how helpful it is later on. Does it do a fairly good job getting me to a functional state at max level?

I only have his comment to go by. I really don't know, but he said one of his characters had almost 100k.

I talked to Adetia and she said that it has the 'best' raiding guild in the game. I have no idea, but I have an absolute fuckton of catching up to do. The first time I logged in some random dude started talking to me because I'm unguilded. We bullshit for a bit and I mention I hadn't logged in...

I have no ties to the server I'm on. Everyone I knew has been scattered to the wind, but there are a few my old guildmates in Township Rebellion on Luclin. It blows my mind that the same person (Adetia) has been actively leading the guild for 20+ years. They even climbed back to top 3...

You play an army of boxes though, right? I'd probably be a third wheel, but if you want an actual person to hang with next time you make the rounds, let me know. I'm genuinely enjoying the game.

I had no idea the game even existed until the guy mentioned it to me, but I did check it out after his offer. And I have to agree, it looked like it had a lot of promise. It was very EQ-like. Though I'm pretty sure it crashed hard and didn't last long, but I didn't look for anything but the...

Are any of you degenerates actually playing the game on Live? I folded and I'm exploring the Persona system on Xegony (it's where I got punted to after all the server merging).

It was actually triple. And the server's economy was completely fucked. There were a few things that were cheaper, but most stuff that had any demand were stupidly expensive. And, like I said, the GM presence was omnipresent. Gold sellers got their pee-pees smacked pretty fast. 70-IQ...

I think you must legitimately suffer from Down Syndrome. What about the two statements you quoted has any element of 'gotcha?' If it's because I said I only received the cash a few times, then you are truly an incredibly massive fucking retard. It clearly states I only received $1200...

All the people saying it couldn't have been true provoked me to do a deep dive on the price history of the Fungi. I'm 99.999999% sure I'm remembering it correctly, but I really don't like making claims that aren't true. And a .0000001% chance of me misremembering bothers me. What I found is...

Sorry, but no. That's not something I will ever forget because of the way I got paid. The guy mailed me personal checks. I don't remember his name, but he was from Florida and the checks were always $400, $800, or $1200 (that only happened a couple times). Back then, it was a considerable...

Prior to two weeks ago, I hadn't thought about or visited any of the EQ related threads (much less played the game) in 22ish years, but the popularity of the TLPs managed to inject EQ into my algorithm and I got baited in to taking a trip down nostalgia lane. I came here looking to scratch that...

*edit*

Yeah, I missed it. I liked reading it when it was about other guilds, but I didn't want to be a part of it when it came to my own. I do remember there being a cycle, but my memory about that is fuzzy. I want to say there was some kind of drama or politics that the leadership felt warranted...

Yeah....the guild wasn't well-liked. Though, to be fair, what uber-guild back then was? Still, I rarely, if ever participated in the flaming shit though. I just showed up to raids and did the best I could. Just seeing someone else type Vindi hit me hard in the nostalgia feels. It's been many...

What is with the 2 or 3 of you completely miserable fucks? What about a guy saying he solo'd some content that was a couple expansions old, and made a few bucks, is so fucking triggering? I'd be loving the fact that you're so bent out of shape over something that happened 23-24ish years ago...

WTF? This motherfucker actually knows me. You were either in Vindi before we moved to SH and created TR or an EQ historian. I'm extremely intrigued. Who are you, my man?

Poorly geared? How did you come to that conclusion? Nothing I listed in my itemized post was the gear that I wore. Those were the extra soloing tools I carried with me. The gear I wore was BiS (or close) for the period. At this point, this conversation has gotten fucking retarded. It...

I've already said it twice, but I don't remember the exact time frame (though I really want to say it was between late '02 and mid '03). However, what I do remember is: 1. During the period in which I was farming the Fungi Tunics, they were still extremely valuable or I wouldn't have been...

That's what I got for them. The guy I was selling them to was reselling them, but I have no idea what his profit margin was. I sold him 1-3 every week for months and it was never enough. He would regularly send me messages asking me if I had any on hand, but I could only do so much outside of...

It's been 22 or 23 years since I've paid any kind of attention to EQ whatsoever. I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did. And yeah, rogues had the soloing power of a wet noodle. To do anything meaningful you had to have amazing gear, be skilled, and bring a bag full of tricks/utility items...

Me? if so, totally wrong. I never played anything but Rogue.

I can't remember exactly, but it was 65-70. PoPish iirc. May have been LDoN because I have some augments, but I was definitely no more than 70 because that's what level I was when I logged in. My wife's monk was 69 when I logged her in. We leveled together so it's apparent that when I quit I had...

I definitely wasn't a scrub or a casual. When I left the game the gear on my main was BiS or close to it, but I really don't know why I never sold my account because I had already been selling fungi tunics to one guy for $400 each. Speaking of which, I was a rogue and had no meaningful alts to...

For no reason that I can explain, I downloaded EQ day before yesterday and logged in for the first time in 22 years. I was a little bit surprised to find my characters still there.

*edit* Wrong thread.

You're 100% right and I fucking hate them for destroying the IP. WotC has jumped the shark through a flaming hoop. I don't know if D&D irredeemable, but it's close and I don't have much faith that it'll ever recover from the tailspin it's in. I mean...they hired two more retard senior...

Being in a bleeding edge EQ guild and the military don't mix. I got close to major issues a few times. A few days a week I'd stay up all night playing EQ and would drag ass while on duty. I even got called in on the carpet once and asked if I had a problem drinking. I never told them that I was...

Being a staunch conservative, you'd think that I'd draw a line in the sand with people drinking and/or doing (soft) drugs at work, but I'm not entirely against it as long as it's not putting anyone in danger or the work suffers. As long as it's not obvious and the work is getting done safely...
