So are we doing a goon thing on Quarm, or just flocking to a guild? I'm not some super hardcore raider or anything I just want some goon pals.

What's the gimmick for Quarm? Did EQ really need another prog server?

I was always more of a UO guy, but I think it's time to finally play this game. Made a Wood Elf ranger on Luclin - Frollick is my name.

Probably going to end up playing EQ again on Phinigel. I know they have all sorts of modern, quality-of-life stuff on the server, but what about con? If I make an Iksar, am I going to be as pariah status with NPCs as they used to be?

So how do Claim Rewards work on Phinny? Since they're greyed out, I am assuming they aren't available because the progression hasn't reached a certain point. Is that the case?

Yes and no. You can purchase and claim XP pots and DB potions, and there's a 32 dollar TLP pack you can buy.

I'm still torn on class. I played shaman until OoW, so that's a no. Guess I'm leaning towards necromancer if I can't find people to play with or enchanter so I don't need to find people to play with, since they will find me. I can feel my card burning in my wallet. Tried the tutorial mines out on my old server and I've got the itch.

He definitely leveled up a few times, but we had enough tanks, clerics fast with the click stick, etc to push through. By the time we engaged AoW the raid was full with 72 people. Dropped 2 of those badass rings and a bow. The few BDA people that were there didn't win anything.

I'd like to get back into the game as an after work time-waster, and I'm hoping they can recover my old account. I haven't played since 2003ish, and I no longer have access to the email address associated with the account. I sent Daybreak a support request listing the characters I remember and their approximate levels and server (My characters were on Tallon Zek, assuming they moved to the combined Zek server years ago). Has anyone had any luck recovering an account like this? It would be great to gently caress around on my old characters. UPDATE: After answering a few questions from the support staff, they got me set up! Now to decide if I want to move my characters off of Zek...

I just came back and peeked at my characters, who are also on Zek. It seems like a ghost town. I think that your best bet would be either to pay for Phinigel or find the most populated server to start new / transfer. Edit: Finally jumped on Phin. Gnome Enchanter named Thripp. It seems like I don't remember jack. I'm just going to kill tiny stuff in GFay until I get my bearings, I guess.

#1 rule of Phinny: group up. Even in the newbie yards, just invite whoever. From what I can tell, all live servers are pretty dead. There's raid guilds on them, but most people just log on to do raids, then camp. When the level cap is raised, they might group together some, but most people just box army their way to the cap "solo". So staying on an old server without friends is basically pointless if you don't like boxing. Some people might let you join their box crew, but you'll just sit there while they do they stuff. Not exactly engaging. That's one of the two big appeals of Phinny - it has true box code, meaning if you want to box, you need a second PC (the other is instanced raiding even for old raids). There's probably some shenanigans around it, but you open yourself up to banning/suspension if you get caught.

The people I've been running into are all anonymous / roleplay enabled. General chat has been fun, some strolls down nostalgia lane. Mind keeps flicking to possibly going cleric so I'll always be doing something. Should we set up some sort of not-guild-specific VoIP server? I'm all about hitting this hard, but not by myself.

The only issue with it is that it runs out of the EU, so if there are network issues going from east coast -> EU, you will get dropped a bunch, but 95% of the time it's rock solid and if you're running into issues generally it's your own problem such as instability of your own connection. Discord seems to be slightly more sensitive to inconsistent connections than say vent/mumble, I swapped to using powerline adapters to save myself from running a 100' cable through some walls, my connection works fine for playing MMOs and FPSs, but I get dropped hard from discord every 20-30 seconds.

Discord servers are free, and really easy to create. Just make an east coast or central one for your froglok grinding chats.

If any of you Phinny goons are looking for a PST raiding guild, we're recruiting. West coast is the best coast! http://www.broken-wave.org We raid Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 8-12. Our website is out of date, but we're in the process of reclaiming it from the former guild leader who quit.

PST players mostly have to be able to deal with EST raid times. For live servers, raids starting at 4:30 pst is really the best you can hope for. Or dealing with complete poo poo tier guilds that start at 8pm pst.

BDA finally killed Tunare last night (grats me on bard weapon), Velious beaten! Well, except for the triplet dragons in NTOV because of time issues and Vyemm (only tried once, skipping him this week, trying to find time to work on him, but not willing to risk not getting Vulak).

Nev is easy just annoying as piss. Granted, we only did her once, and our first time we tried to dodge. I don't think we'll be doing that again this week. In general we're finally switching from dodging to "stay in, go out for heals as needed" as much as we can. Not every fight allows that, but even some of the tougher AEs, it's much faster to soak up 3-4 rounds of AE if you can do so and not get low health aggro, then step out long enough to get a few heals, then back in. Much quicker than dodging. We'll see how Lady Nev goes tonight. Snore.
