I should probably rephrase that. You didn't ruin the experience, but you did make yourself look like a little poo poo who couldn't handle some very mild goon antics. Destroying the one thing that game had going for it, community and interaction with other goons, was never worth coming back to even if you begged me and promised to choke down a bleach cocktail. Why you continue to stick around here is beyond me.

I was going to ask why you bother sticking around, and then saw that your last bajillion posts are for LOL. Makes sense.

Test has been hosed up the past couple days. Other than this blip, it's been stable for the last 2 or 3 months.

Well it just seems like everytime I find a niche and this game becomes enjoyable something happens.

Whether it's a nerf to missions that were giving sweet xp, SC no longer being able to be used for subscriptions, etc.

I'm thinking that test will no probably cease to be Free to Play or they will close the loophole that will allow you to trade items that were testcopied.

Honestly I'm kind of waiting for that too. I've enjoyed a couple months on test playing for free, but really after beating the crap out of the major Velious, Luclin, and PoP raid bosses I don't know how much more fun I can have playing this game.

Goonrush was a blast, but Kodaji's power trip ruined the experience for me. Nonetheless it was certainly a blast. I tried to go over to Vanguard and that's when I noticed they changed their sub policy with regards to SC. With the game preventing you from wearing raid tier items there's no way in hell I'd consider leveling up...for a raiding game...if I can't legitimately F2P.

I do find it funny that of all the games I've played that are F2P with cash shops, Lineage 2 is by far the most unnecessary. NEVER would have expected that Korean grindfest to hold that honor.

Kodaji was a p. cool dude iirc

Speaking as a guy who loves the gently caress out of Kodaji because he IS Kodaji, thanks guys :) That dude's one of the immortal Nero three that I jokingly guildbooted one night and they exploded across multiple pages of this thread, made a new guild named something like "Kodaji Hitler", attempted to recruit everyone else for their new guild, then moved to Somalia (FV) when everyone laughed at them and kept right on ignoring them. Apparently they're still butthurt, so now we all get to laugh at them all over again.

It's really the least interesting GOON DRAMA ever, it just keeps getting dragged up because those three are just THAT butthurt that the other 50 of us gave no fucks when they threw a fit. Somalian Justice :c00lbert:

On a happier/funnier topic, anyone remember that guy we jokingly guildinvited from Landric's guild who spewed for a solid 3 hours about how he robbed Target and car stereos, then broke his legs falling off of a fence 30 minutes after getting out of prison because he was trying to run from the cops his mother called on him? Best Thing.

Oh my god please stop talking about this drama, if it's no big deal just let it die there is no need to defend yourself. I click on this thread hoping to hear people talk about EQ and this happens like twice a week ahhhhhh

Kodaji was one of the driving forces of the guild, and a great initiator of groups and raids, so :getout:

I still remember the good doctor calling some guy fat in general, that guy then saying, "gently caress you I'm in the army", the good doctor asking him if his unit was the 403rd donut, and the guy then rage logging.

Anyone get into the RoF beta yet?

For any goons interested we have a progression guild going on a non progression server. Perfect for people who don't have or want a gold sub and want to see and raid the old content. Currently in Planes of Power expansion and locked at level 65. PM me for details.

So now that /testcopy is working again. what is the best way to get a full set of Abtruse Armor for my level 80 Mage and Shadowknight?

Should I buy up Vanadium on a live server and wait for the drops to rot in Tier 1 zones? Can someone make them for me on Test or Live and send them to me?

Yeah I've found that EQ players (based on global channels) are a highly conservative group. That might explain why I don't have many friends in the game.

Firiona vie especially. Holy poo poo, I'm amazed at how rabidly right wing that server is. It's like the opposite of everything else I come across online. EQ's aging playerbase maybe.

Any suggestions on how to powerlevel a druid on a progression server ? So no mercs available. I have a 60+ shaman to assist.

If they were a meele I'd just let them tank and out-of-group heal them etc, but with a caster like a druid its not as though they can tank away much beyond the early levels.

Weird, I haven't gotten that impression, but I don't go in general.

Being in a raid guild probably changes a lot of that. There's still the expected internet libertarians, but I don't deal with many actual conservatives.

This beard just won't do!
I was grouping HoT or some poo poo and had to listen to stuff like that for hours. Some lady and a Black-ops Special Forces Delta Tier1 army guy were chatting about terrible politics and how RonPaul was the only one not gonna take away their guns. Talked about how they had their stockpiles of rice buckets in their shelters and pleading us that we should get some. I couldn't leave because I was desperate for XP and the drops, and it was hard to find a group for a DPS-class :(

Me and the wiz just had to sigh and talk poo poo about them in PMs to get through it

We're all just kinda halfass on Test since it's free. I'm Kodaji/Dyllana when I'm on, but I'm not on much. I think our Luclin Goon presence just burned too brightly and was too loving hilarious/fun to survive. That said, it was hands down the most fun few months I've ever had in an MMO. Ryantear and Gnonotmybutt I'll be laughing at 50 years from now :ohdear:
