I played on private vanilla servers, they are actually kinda fun, mostly for two reasons: the game is slow-paced and very easy compared to the modern version and because of this nobody is against weird group or raid compositions. Three or four groups can clear MC if they have the patience to...

Might be that I'm old and honestly a bit tired of this hamster wheels called MMOs, but I enjoyed WoW until Legion, because I valued mostly gameplay and that adventure feeling that some places like Suramar managed to deliver in a very convincing way (for me, at least). The fact is, thanks to...

Did she put it on the desk to type with the keyboard? :D I'm playing Shadow with a casual guild, the idea is to do normal and see the content in a small raid (10 players) without resorting to LFR. I like the spec in this raid, once I learn a fight I can do interesting numbers and parse very...

Back in the days I tanked Ulduar 10 for fun with my guild using my hunter pet. I think we got to Hodir, but can't remember at all if we killed it or not. It wasn't particularly difficult, you just had to find a lot of gear for the hunter with stamina, because the pet scaled from the player...

Completely agree, there are no resources, I don't even know if the game even has official forums and if they are populated.

EQ1 for me is just too old, but honestly even EQ2 is in that category right now. EQ2 was my game of choice in November 2004, in the european region WoW was due to launch only in February 2005, so it was either stay in EQ1 or change for the new shiny game. I played it (even alongside WoW when it...

Forgive me, but EQ had a little death penalty in the vast majority of the cases. Usually the biggest loss was 4% experience, which you got back in a matter of minutes. Recovering corpses was hard in the first few levels, if no high level was around, but in several years I was forced to call a...

In the case of WoW, I still meet funny people, when for example in an instance I drop a one liner, someone says something, I chat while clearing the place and have a good time doing so, because for once I don't feel I'm grouped with bots. Due to how the game is structured athough, this quick...

Hmmm... the short answer is yes. The long answer is based on why you would play one. Attachment to your character? Nothing to add here. You like to heal? Priest wins and it can grind decently in Shadow and solo elites in Discipline spec. At a certain level of gear, it's just more comfortable to...

I still play and have been playing from day 1 on EU release, which is in early 2005. A bunch of my friends still play (I can count 5, not a hundred). Yeah some are still there from the good old days. There is still a lot of people that started during TBC or WotLK (and there I can count a...

The "fuck-you proc" hammer lasted a week, if that, then it was nerfed by about 50% both in proc rate and in damage. The first week it was fucking hylarious, because it allowed clerics to solo at a decent rate (not dps class-like, not even close, but good). Not long after, I got a Hammer from...

I did play it and on multiple characters too, starting February 2005 (EU release date). Maybe your client that was released 4 months earlier lacked a lot of shit that ours didn't, because I'm 100% sure I never grinded a fucking thing for more than a few minutes in WoW when the goal was to hit...

Average levelling time to 60 was 9 days of /played time, so a bit over 200 hours. There was absolutely no need to grind to hit 60, unless you never ever had rested experience or skipped every levelling dungeon. One of the major culprit in keeping the available money low, was the cost of the...

From my experience on emulated servers, most of this stuff wasn't handled in the old way by guilds / raid groups. Without deadweights you can raid MC with half of your raid made by feral druids and still get kills easily. The playerbase knowledge and capacity to play, makes old content piss easy...

Apparently they have to redo the code or a good portion of it, which means they could overcome a few technical limitations of the era, such as the debuff limit. In the end I think it's a good move. I play vanilla regularly, but there is always the chance the server shuts down because the owner...

I still play vanilla WoW on private servers, the game has changed a ton from 12 years ago. All I do in vanilla is running around, from place to place, pick up pre-quests scattered all over the world, do small chains, get to the last quest for each chain and finally go in the dungeon and complete...

I played my alt priest for about two months without seeing a second one, reason enough to cancel my sub, because fuck them and their rng (no doubt it would have been a pile of shit anyway). I've had enough of this diabloesque xpack. I hope the new one is not a year away.

Same, I hope someone can make a compilation :D

I don't think anyone on this forums gives enough fucks about interviews, AMA's, etc.because we're a bunch of jaded bastards that don't believe anyone anymore. At my age I certainly don't care about advertising, put out a good game and you get my money, else, go fuck yourself. In the same way, I...

Apparently I don't have a mygames\final fantasy etc. folder anymore. I don't know why, but it seems fresh installs don't create one, but it's possible to save a backup file (a single file apparently) from the launcher options. I just remade everything from scratch. I appreciate that the UI has...

I didn't play this game for a long time, I wanted to pick it up again, but I've got a question, maybe you can help me. After reinstalling stuff from scratch on my pc, windows included, I lost the original Documents folder that had the FFXIV settings, like keybinds etc., but I have a backup of...

I laughed. Well done :D

That's more than what I have in total :D

I dusted off all my 80s and tested them on HoT content, which I was previously doing with my thief. I got annoyed (or bored) by most of them,warrior included (which I didn't expect), because... reasons. I found Necromancer quite acceptable, but the new elite spec isn't very appealing and I also...

MoP was my favourite expansion, no contest. Monks were amazing, the setting and the lore was interesting and being myself a kung fu student, I felt more immersed than I should have probably :D The zones, the farm, the scenarios (damn, I loved those), most dungeons and raids were very nice, we...

35€ to transfer a character (cross faction) or slightly less to transfer on the same faction, with good chances you're forced to leave behind a ton of alts that usually provide tradeskills etc. If the person transfering is unlucky and the guild implodes or whatever, he's lost the money without...

Thank you. I'll try to do maps and story, then I'll see if crafting will be appealing enough.

I was tempted to buy the new expansion, but HoT was not very enjoyable for me, so I was not sure. I thought I could put in some work on a character before doing the purchase and trying to see if I can complete all the living story that I left at the end of the original game storyline. I hardly...

Scott Hartsman, when in charge of the Faydwer expansion pack, said something about the bloat, while answering a question I made back on some version of the FoH boards: he said that the amount of people pleased enough by the changes to come back playing the game, was potentially less than the...

You mean, like the church? (well, actually many religions do this shit).

I bought the base game on steam for 9 euro and I'm checking it out, I want to explore the world and follow the story if there is a main one, nothing else, the environments and the music are good, the rest I don't care much, it'll pay itself in a few hours anyway and so far it's fun enough. If I...

Discipline has no AoE whatsoever, holy has spammable Holy Nova that hits hard even in relevant content. Against trivial mobs or heroic / low mythic dungeons, running holy instead of shadow, is actually a dps gain. I hope they will finally stop being retarded and give Shadow Nova to shadow...

That was basically my point.

Fuck, so it's W10 shitting on it, dammit.

Their goal was to remove it from the game, it was stated that there would have been no flying anymore, WoD was, as Burns said, already a no-flying xpack. Once they admitted it publicly (which was several months after the expansion release) the backlash was enormous and many players did what...

I believe they wanted to remove flying completely in WoD, it was their plan from the beginning and people should have learned to accept it. There was quite an outrage on the forums and they were sort of forced to tweak WoD zones for flying, so they kinda got their revenge behind the grind to get...

Question out of curiosity: I saw that modern EQadded a fuckton of abilities and buttons to push, are the TLPservers played like back in the days, aka chat with dragons or are packed with full actionbars?

I got HoT some months ago, but I can't really love it like I did with the original content. Any tricks to speed up masteries or should I just gtfo of the first HoT zone?

I'm back since a while and I'm just collecting class mounts to pass time, hoping that this abortion of gearing system is going out of this game, passing by the toilet, possibly with the dev that conceived it. Most classes, I should say specs are fairly basic to play nowadays, with a few...
