    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    TDE was pretty evil towards the other upper-tier guilds in those days. It was a toss-up between Cobra and them for my least liked people, although at least TDE had the courtesy to speak to you in english. I raided on and off during those days, mostly with the lower-end guilds doing clean-up...

    I don't think Sanc became Diligence, so that leaves Forged Souls (?) as the new guild, I think; although, on second thought, could've been TDE...

    4 Raid difficulties, with the exact same mechanics and loot just 'bloated' number difference in damage to compensate for the additional player slots. Hardly two distinct raiding experiences as you're insinuating. 1 tier of 5 mans currently, all providing the same tier of loot (463) with the...

    tl;dr: introduce faux leveling systems but don't call them leveling systems. You can disguise it all you want, but if you need 'Plate Armor of the Whale' to kill a boss in a dungeon, but you can't get 'Plate Armor of the Whale' with the gear you start the game with, you have now introduced...

    I'd like to see trains return, but I don't think EQ-style dungeons (Chardok/Seb/etc.) have a place in the modern MMO world. Not very dynamic sitting in a room having someone else pull mobs to you, or walking around a static area killing static spawns for static drops on static spawn timers. Not...

    Creating mobs that have tens of thousands of HPs, can kill most non-plate in 3-4 combat rounds, totally never meant to create raiding, right? Get fucking real; and no fucking shit the players determined the future of EQ. That's what consumers do. The developer of a game sees a trend, has to make...

    Blizzard discontinued the SMS protect a few weeks ago, if not longer. edit: Which means they've never sent another email after even containing the SMS protect language. I've had my account locked for the same reason, and none of the emails have anything about SMS in it since they closed it.

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    I have 0 desire to contribute to this thread other than to correct your misinterpretation of that sentence. Vast majority of 50% does not mean 50%. I would agree that the vast majority of women are psycho, based on my limited experience. Do you need the end of that sentence to come to the same...

    Nope, $40 but nice try at an insult! And $72 for >10 hours of entertainment is perfectly acceptable to me per patch, when I more than likely got 2-3 days worth of time out of them. $1 per hour for entertainment? Sign me up. Could it be more entertaining? Sure; but your argument about '4...

    Forcing me to sound like a shill by saying stupid shit, but here goes: 4.1: Smallish patch, re-hash of ZG/ZA to bridge gear gap from H5's to T11. Worked well, increased raid presence in all 3 raid zones. 4.2: Molten Front (gated? No. Progressive? Yes.) + Firelands. Major content patch. 4.3...

    Not going to shill, but if you're going to make generalizations like 4 shitty patches in 2 years, you might want to do your research onto patch cycles. We've gone from 4.1 (April, 2011) to 5.2 (5.3 tomorrow), which included 3 raids, three evolving daily quest hubs, multiple 5-mans, and countless...

    Because it's worthwhile spending the VP on any faction other than SPA? Be realistic. There's 0 need for 496 rep-gear now unless you're filling a small slot for an ilvl boost to get into ToT. The moment you can queue for ToT, by the end of the first 3 wings, you're Friendly. That gives you almost...

    I bolded that part for you. You must have forgotten you said that, but to make the statement " I should also mention that to this day it is still possible to get" after bringing in relevance is moot. None of the legendary weapons are relevant anymore, by a long shot. Dalien nailed it on the head...

    I, too, enjoyed the AQ event. I'm not a Scarab Lord, nor was I in a progression guild at the time (in-between phase for me, going from top guild on server (Critical Mass) to second-best (Death Jesters)) but I spent hours and hours farming and helping to open the gates and witness the event.

    Except the Ach has been around for 4(?) years and it never needed to be done consecutively. So, it's not really all that much dedication to have logged in during those periods over a four year+ year period. That said, I still haven't done it because the world events are trash in my opinion.

    Haven't seen any issues with 'em myself from friends that have them and use them in PVP. I might be misinterpreting what I'm seeing, so don't take my word as 100% fact. I also imagine PVE is required for dual wield to be min/maxed in PVP due to the relative power of weapon damage for MH...

    I'm not trying to detract from you or your experience in the game, but when the class is made up of mostly boxes and you're pressing one key on a timer... You could argue that post-PoP, raid healing took on a different approach (hello HoTs), but at that point, CR's (the point of contention...

    My only point of contention with your analogy is that PVPers are already forced to do PVE for BiS Meta Gem. Lots of PVE. Not to mention, a Battleground (or 4 of them) is hardly the commitment that hardcore PVE content requires. D:

    So quick to jump to an insult. How typical when one bashes the holy grail that is 'EQ'. You and the other EQ neckbeards seem to have this notion of Risk vs. Reward that borders on lunacy. Taking a risk, that has the possibility of costing you everything (in this case, internet pixel gear)...

    Yeah, because dying as any class that couldn't bind when in Seb was just totally engaging and fun. Hell, even as a bind-capable class, CR's to Seb were so fun. Your blinders must be set to maximum to think that was remotely fun.

    You used a Half-Life key @ WON during the old days, so when it converted to Steam, you kept all original HL expansions and mods fo' free. I have friends who had to individually purchase HL, Op4, Blue Shift, and CS because none of the keys for those unlocked them all like the original HL key...

    I like posters and art books, so if the CE includes those, I'll probably end up buying it; otherwise, I have no desire to collect statues, soundtracks which I can pull from game files easily enough or find online, or any of the other nonsense that gets packaged with some CEs.

    If Blitz had half the free scaling that Thresh gets, it'd bridge the gap a bit between the two; but seeing as Thresh scales so damn well PASSIVELY, it's a no-contest situation to me. I'd rather have a Thresh over a Blitz.

    Totally did, but it really only held relevance for one Old God rather than all of them. It spoke not of their inability to die, only that they were 'preserving' the life of one and hoping to bring it back and how fucked we were if we didn't follow their lead when he did come back.
