Is there a server with a large Asian population? As in, people in Asia (because I live there)? I started this up last night, tried three different servers. Every single one had lag. The kind of lag where I cast my spell and there's the...what's happening moment, followed by you being dead. I played Mith Marr back in the day and still have my old necro, but there's no way in hell I could kill anything with this lag.

Is it also possible it could be my router? I don't know how they work with EQ or anything, as back then I was on 56k and in America.

Well after coming back and playing a bit, I have now almost officially undinged myself back to 64. Oh gosh.

From dicking around in the newer areas: money is everywhere. Greens my pet can solo are dropping 30 plat each. Remember the days when we were selling Fine Steel for 4 plat a pop and felt like rich gods?

The Luclin/PoP era necro spells are now practically worthless. Took a look at the 61-70 spells in PoTranquility. For 200plat I can have a level 61 spell that does more than double any of my current DoTs. I just need to get that 200 plat, as it seems like I loaded all my cash off when I quit.

Tomorrow will be spent researching and seeing what the heck I should do now. I'm guessing I'm ridiculously undergeared now, so I guess I'll see if any of these new-fangled "quests" are worth looking into.

awesome stuff

This is great. I didn't know about half of this. Definitely going to see about finding my old bags now, and see what kinds of cards or whatever I have. And the new systems of travel seem cool too.

So um, what do people use in place of SoW potions these days?

So I've got a monk on my silver account, and I am thinking about two boxing on another account with one of the free characters. I'm curious, what would you guys recommend using for the two box? I'm thinking a wizard, and then letting the mercs be war/cleric. I don't really want anything too involved for the number two guy, and I feel like two-boxing two melee characters would be pretty hard. So basically, should I do monk/wiz or monk/cleric?

I've noticed on a lot of pictures of mobs that I've been seeing, a lot of them have the mobs HP percentage attached to end end of its name. Is this a mod, or something in the options I'm missing?

Out of curiosity, what is the standard HP of a main tank for an end game guild these days? I just came back to the game, and my now 69 necros HP is about 7000 unbuffed. When I quit I think tanks had about 14000 unbuffed? This was in PoP, before it had been finished. I did some reading and saw that the current end-game bosses have a normal hit of 25000??? Just how much HP do tanks have these days?!

Working on my 1.0 right now as a 70 Necro. Everything is cake except for the Slime Blood of Cazik Thule. Fear is pretty much perma-camped and the people who do this wanted to charge 25k for a useless item that its ONLY used for Necro 1.0 (which in itself is useless besides nostalgia's sake).

From a few pages back, but doesn't the mob in PoA death touch? How did you deal with that, if I might ask?
