Now this I’m interested in. Been reading the archived eq2 forums from 2006. Nice that they kept them. Although, I noticed the Brigand subforum is missing? Anyone know if it’s around somewhere? https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?categories/class-discussion.144/

Jasker, I can’t pretend to understand, but I have a couple of points: 1. I like your handle 2. It’s dangerous to be in charge. We’re not well equipped to run the show. Previous generations understood this implicitly. Modern man is finding it out the hard way. Lay down the mast of the ego and let...

I never raided in the first place, and love the slow burn of vanilla. Despite not really being familiar with end game: the world buffs, boosting, GDKP, and dungeon cleave shit all turned me off. You can’t blame the younger generation really, but Christ if they don’t optimize the fun out of things.

Despite all my shit talking about HC, I rolled on Defias Pillager today and am having a grand time. People are friendly and plentiful in Elwynn, at least. Respawn timers are crazy fast, so no waiting, but of course that means stay away from caves. We’ll see how long it lasts. Went with my...

While I might eventually give official HC a shot (though admittedly I don’t really see the appeal in this type of game), I’m going to give it some time I think. 1. I don’t much care about being first, in fact I prefer to level in relative peace. A few weeks behind the curve seems perfect...

Pretty buggy patch they released today that borked all addons. Talents are missing, retail options menu. Gonna be a rough start for HC in two days if they don’t fix this. On the plus side, the forums are a laugh riot.

Fresh server is a fresh server I guess, but no way I’m re-rolling two weeks after I just did.

That brings up a different issue: I actually enjoy the anonymity of online games. I’ve never mixed real life with them. I’ve been to D&D sessions as a kid, but I just couldn’t do it. It was always with older folks and I was never comfortable enough with them as people to sit around a table and...

Re: the limited friends and networks we used to play games with; I hadn’t considered that. I started with Dragon Warrior on the NES, alone. Then I played the first final fantasy with a couple of grade school friends. We also read Dragonlance books and D&D monster manuals. By the time EQ came out...

I wonder if anyone on these forums is a casual scrub like me. I’ve played MMOs since Everquest 1 (though I hardly touched the first). EQ2 was my first long-term MMO, but even in that I’ve never capped. I had to try every class for a bit, and I found some favorites (illy/coercer/swash), but I’d...

I rolled alliance on whitemane a couple weeks ago. Lots of people leveling, though I’m taking it slow (lvl 28). Human rogue: Ezekaiel
