Progression servers are a few months away from mercs, wonder if that will give us an influx of people.

Both servers have beaten Meldrath (Citizen took an entire raid night to kill him, EoE killed him on the first try after one shotting Prototype and Tinkerson :smugdog:) and will be in Crystallos soon, so a little over three months to go!

If you want more money than you can possibly ever hope to spend on Test, wait until someone named "Rainbowdash" says something in general, then pretend to be female and new to Test in general chat and prepare to have 20 million hit your parcel inbox.

Even WE don't like him, so it's fine to mooch all of his money which he happily flings at anyone who says they have a vagina and responds to him in general chat.

If you fail to extort money from RBD, don't tell this thread, because you probably deserve a permaban for sheer incompetence :v:

RBD is the most insufferable player on Everquest and on the eqlive forums. And honestly, even though bronies are "The Thing" on the internet right now, I still thought he was a she until your post.

Ha I love having all the best nobody-cares gossip.

RBD is, in fact, male, as much as being born with specific parts matters. Mostly, we just regard RBD as truly insufferable while RBD goes to insane lengths to creepy flirt with literally any person who responds to him ever at any time. If he thinks you're maybe female, he'll parcel you a couple mil plat though, which is why I brought him up.

Lisandra is a whole other can of worms and is one of the 3 or 4 people ever judged truly SO awful at Everquest that a Test server guild of awful people guildkicked him for sucking poo poo so harshly he moved to FV. That person is a 34 year old man living the goon life, complete with mom's basement dwelling and a blossoming xbox 360 modding business (in 2014) that he sometimes manages to make enough from to pay the Comcast bill for the month for his parents. He tended to brag about paying a bill once a month for 3 or 4 days a month every time he managed it :sigh:

He tried to supplement it by acting as a RMT middleman for some guy on FV, but he agreed to payment via Station Cash instead of real money, so by the end of his time in our guild, we knew his business was booming because he'd suddenly have 3 new FV copied characters with heroes forge and another $50+ in station cash spent on each of them while he kept right on living in the basement


^^^That's a pretty awful way to farm plat if that's your only goal. If you just want money, go pillage PoP for diamonds/blue diamonds or grind xp in MG/FM/beza/zeka and loot everything that drops. It's pretty easy to rack up decent amounts of plat just grinding xp if you loot stuff

^^^^^^^ He's a gender-confused virgin who lives at home and talks about having sex with vah shir and ponies in general chat. If you can't find some way to exploit that scenario by itself, I dunno what to tell you. Wiji and I both troll him to his face near constantly (especially Wiji)

This is the person that is extremely bitter and acts like he is doing everybody a huge favor everyone he does anything? I don't play on FV, but I remember listening in when he was giving elf language lessons (the commonly accepted default language on FV) and acted like it was so much trouble to go to PoK and form a group to spam the language. Is that the person we're talking about?

Probably. He was a shaman in our guild and healed like never. He was booted out and went to fv full time on his awful mage. He would link his guild's loot to test.general.
He was booted out of that too as far as I know.

That's him! He got kicked from the FV raid guild WAY faster than ours. Now he's back on Test trying to form a raid alliance.

This is him trying to form one on Reddit of all places :v: http://www.reddit.com/r/everquest/comments/1uob8n/potential_test_server_raid_alliance/

Interestingly enough, goons as a whole knew of this dude long before we moved to Test and some of us actually ran into him in a guild. Back in the glory days of Ascending Fearboners and Gnonotmybutt/Ryantear epic trolling when we were all on Luclin, a bunch of us purposely joined FV chat to troll the well known lady there who never shut up. It wasn't until a year+ later that we'd moved to Test and some of us ended up in the same guild as the person unknowingly. Turns out the obnoxious old lady we all trolled on FV was in fact a dude we were then guilded with. I'm not sure anyone but me was even around enough during both periods to figure it out :3:

In any case, it's a pretty hilarious oldschool goon crew memory and that dude's even more trollable now that he's been kicked from not just one, but two different guilds on different servers who're both absolutely desperate for warm bodies :v: He's pretty much the worst possible EQ player in existence. We had a 10 year old raiding with us for a while who was better than this dude by huge margins...

I'm not sure he's the same guy as the language lesson example you gave on FV, but his name on there is definitely Lisandra and that sounds 100% like him, so most likely yeah

Does anyone still copy over HoT armor? A few friends and I just copied over to test. Between us we have an 81 Shaman and Magician in poo poo gear, an 81 SK and Bard in full visible abstruse, and a 73 Rogue in poo poo gear. Suggestions on which classes would be more effective played rather than just afk boxed would be helpful too as we only have 3 actual players.

I can make the abstruse for cloth, chain, and plate classes. Let me know the class and name to send it to on Test. And the order of preference, since I typically only do a set every day or two because I am lazy sometimes.

You really just need one on the mage. It's gear useable at 80 that's a MASSIVE stat jump from everything previously. The bard/wiz don't really need it though for your group to progress and not finding any of your own loot gets kinda boring :kiddo: I think Pilsner's the only person in the thread that plays the game properly and he'd back me up on that

Actually, aside from the HP required to survive bad pulls and raid AEs, bards don't really benefit from any gear at all post 85ish except the neat new clickies :smith:

Word. I'm basically just playing progression quest. I'm afk leveling to 80, then AAs until I have no desire to play any longer or get my team to 3k AAs so I can level to 85 or 90 and do some content.

I'm sorry if no one give a heck about test drama but this is Some Sick poo poo. Few months back one of our clerics got busy IRL and stopped logging in. He used to spend literal days decorating the guild Hall. The original guild plot belonged to a guy that never logs in.

He logs in one day and uprooted the hall. Few days later the cleric logs in sees the hall in utter chaos and just goes berserk. Logs in an officer account boots a bunch of people then leaves and goes in general bashing us.

I have no idea any of this went on and we are doing a pug tov raid. Topic of awedrea, the cleric, come up, saying he's an rear end in a top hat in voice chat. I ask why and they explain everything over voip, unbeknownst to everyone that awedrea had just logged in to VoIP. So they get into a screaming match; all this happens in front of the pugs that we desperately need to convince to raid with us.

Goddamn I wish I hadn't missed that.

FWIW Awedrea didn't just stop logging in, there was a ton of other drama. The original plot ownership is Pyro's, who they booted for not logging in even though he was the reason the guild existed in the first place. That was the original thing that pissed Awedrea off, then more poo poo went down. Long stupid drama story short, I agree with Awedrea and the fact he's still causing poo poo in the guild is awesome to me because he's 100% right and it's hilarious it happened during PUG raids :allears:

This would be really neat if you unhid the chatbox. It's pretty unwatchably boring without it though since it's just watching EQ numbers scroll by while everyone stands in a pile (I'm aware that's what raiding in EQ is like in general, that's why the chat part is fun)

I woke up at 8:30am and got to join in on their first raid (NeriakD II) before I got booted out for one of their tank mains when everybody was waking up. I stayed in vent, and they were flawless with the remaining three raids judging from the chatter. This is with very little practice in beta, compared to other guilds.

Now that I am done giving blowjobs - it is a much more relevant and unfortunate (in my opinion) fact that raids are beaten in two hours when the content is released, and that second place is so close behind (nine minutes, for Hate Rising.) Compare that to how raids used to be: http://www.elitegamerslounge.com/home/progress/encounter.php?id=154 . The Triune God, the last raid in Veil of Alaris, was beaten on January 10, 2012. The expansion was released November 11, 2011. When The Triune God was beaten, the next guild to beat it did it 39 days later, not nine minutes later.

That's how raid timing should be, in my opinion. And I know there were some huge cockblocks in Alaris which pissed people off (but not nearly as badly as Underfoot,) mainly Pillars and Fumerak. I can understand the opposing argument, that people don't want to raid 5-7 days a week anymore to beat an expansion quick.

Dig through that web site I linked, if anyone hasn't. I find it really interesting. Take a careful look at Tacvi in Gates of Discord. It was first beaten after next expansion, Omens of War, was released, that is how loving overtuned it was. I think that was the only expansion that ever had that happen. Only 8 guilds beat Tacvi before the next expansion, Dragons of Norrath, was released.
