MrSargent posted:When I last played on a TLP, I two-boxed using two laptops but did everything manually using the keyboard/mouse for each. It definitely wasn't the most efficient, but it worked. I don't have any programs like HotKeyNet, is there something I should look into to make it a bit easier on myself? Use a piece of software which makes your two computers two monitors with one m+kb setup. I've used synergy before, but there are a ton of software tools out there for this.

Thanks a lot for the responses onesixtwo and DisgracelandUSA, going to try out a couple options and see what works best.

I use this for work, https://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/ It has some fancy features that I cant make work well (single screen more then one comp type stuff) but the mouse at the border works great.

Are there any custom UI's that people would recommend? I can make the default UI work by moving a bunch of poo poo around and resizing it but would like to try something better if its out there.

EQinterface.com was up still as of a few months ago. There are several UIs still receiving regular updates. Probably best to check it out and see what works for you. About 15 years ago I installed Vert modern and swapped the spell gems for WoW inspired ones and just forgot about them. To this day I can still tell buffs and debuffs and songs by their icon from that classic era WoW spell gem set than I can from the spell name, let alone the current default spell gem icons. I’m not recommending it for anyone else, just using this anecdote to emphasize finding yourself something from EQ interface over taking ui suggestions from idiots like me.

Jetz0r would have a better idea on that than I would. At the very least, he’d be able to speak more to what’s possible after they release whichever method they’re going to use for the UI.

Was able to find both pipes for sale in the bazaar for less than a 100k plat each. So sold a krono and picked them both up. Now to start some fights. I love FV so much.

Anyone have a guild on FV they don't mind me parking a few alts in? Currently in the newbie guild but would rather be in something a bit more active than a guild with a motd that was set by someone who hasn't logged in since 2012.

I’ve been running around agnarr with twink gear to satisfy random cravings until May’s launch. Having a fungi stick / tunic and PWC with a haste cloak makes murdering frogloks easy and fun on a fattie sk. Probably running sk/sham/bard on May release but debating if I wanna box three still or just the sk/sham.

The last time I logged into EverQuest in vanilla was after a long "sitting lfg" in seb, it was like 3 or 6 hours or something. Said "gently caress this". Truly the classic experience.

I see a fair amount of people just rocking LFG tags in the guild lobby on Aradune deep into DoN. The fact that solo LFG players still exist this far into a server's decline is baffling to me. The reality is basically 3+ box or gfys. I wish mercs were available earlier to help these people out

The fact that solo LFG players still exist this far into a server's decline is baffling to me. The reality is basically 3+ box or gfys. I wish mercs were available earlier to help these people out Our guild still has a handful that are still pugging it out, mostly because they are apprehensive about the idea of boxing. I don’t know how they do it either mostly because getting older I get pulled away from comp too often to want to disappoint a group of people. Wanting to engage for 30-60 minutes straight with no random afks? My kids have burned me too many times to wanna group like that. There is lots of boxing but I feel like that just shifts everything a level. Grouping content is now box content. Old small raid and old raid targets are now group content when you team up with your buddies’ box crews. Medium /semi-old/split raids are now your small raid targets and big main only raids happen maybe on expac launch because of flagging bottlenecks and then quickly progresses into splits. In my opinion it helps having a roster of characters to work on. Makes it easier to keep engaged once new content gets stale. The people I see on solo characters are caught up in a week or two after launches and then disappear.

I read an idea somewhere for a new type of merc that just holds aggro and heals itself, so that classes like rogues and zerkers aren't forced to box to do basic stuff whoever posted that idea was a genius

POP unlike the pervious x-packs more or less removed the need to see all the old zones. The game goes hard core raiding at this point and keeps it up for a while. If your raiding, group content is almost pointless which is sad.

I don't know how it is on Live or TLPs, but on TAKP it's like a whole different game. There's one three-box combo that rules them all (Enchanter, Bard, Cleric), there's a couple of zones worth going to (exacerbated by ZEMs), and everything else is fully focused on flags and raids. Feels bad.

PoP is the start of the expansions where only the end game zones really matter, nobody is grinding plane of disease in 2022 but they sure did at release. In TLPs, either you raid and get flagged for elementals (and later, zones like Qvic/RSS/Anguish), or you don't and you quit. TLPs are fun but the culture is very bleeding edge or die, and then there's the krono farmers.

Back then you always had groups all over the place, strange camps that I never see touched on TLPs for the most part. This was helped by the fact that only 40 ish people a week could get a given flag and there were enough players that backflagging was ok (helps that time was instanced too). Today its week 1 rush, you need to be on the "team" or no flag for you. No one wants to hang in POJ doing xp when everyone who matters is in POF or POE.

I remembered loving PoP back in the day but it took maybe 3-4 days of PoP on Mischief to nope right outta there. Flagging seems to bring out the worst in people.
