Rogean probably makes poo poo all considering his company gets what like 20k in donations a year to run a a bunch of server infrastructure with enterprise level DDoS protection. poo poo ain't cheap.

C++ with some PERL scripting iirc It's the DDoS protection that is the real money suck. Way back in the day p99 would get DDoS'd like every day so Rogean had to buy protection on top of running everything.

Bind sight gets even more fun when you bring in those locate corpse clickies off merchants. Make a corpse somewhere useful to see and then use the click to target corpse which works across the entire zone. Target yourself and cast bind sight and then use your previous target toggle hotkey. Bind sight will land on the corpse. I use this for solo Quillmane when on some toons like ench, wiz, or shaman since no tracking.

Ogre loving sucks yo Spells still get interrupted with the caveat you can cast without waiting 1.5 to 2 seconds. That's one round if you are getting one rounded then invest in some stalking probes or reroll warrior ogre. You might save someone a tiny sliver of buffer xp by clicking the mallet on a uber that much quicker. Also geometry will conspire to interrupt your spells which basically negates FSI entirely. shirunei fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Dec 26, 2018 |

Kedge was like a fishy graveyard throughout the server's history even when it had a ridiculous experience mod. Only thing it was used for was druid fuckboys would go in there and power level twinks with charm trivializing your 30-50 journey. I'm pretty sure p1999 uses the EQmac ZEM list but then there's weird edge cases like Qeynos Catacombs being lower. Droga/Nurga is just a huge poo poo covered toilet bowl with green goblin turds running around. I may be bias due to factioning for dok 2.0 though....

p2002 is run by a bunch of posers who cannot code. They can poo poo out really badly done content but the underlying mechanics are laughably crude and will remain so until TAKP goes open source again when they are done developing. Also there is only one top guild due to GM cronyism on p2002. TAKP uses a GM nforced rotation system for raids. Both have boxing but p2002 uses the stock titanium client instead of TAKP's PoP era client. In practice this means nothing since 98% of TAKP use a mouse scroll work around.

fruity no gay posted:sorry, really? 98% of the server is using a bannable hack? I doubt many use the .dll that I'm sure you are referring to. Not that they have any logging which can detect it. However there has been an AHK script floating around for awhile that does the same thing though which when shown to a few devs they basically threw their hands up in the air and refused to pursue punitive action. Which makes sense considering every loving dev uses a method to enable mouse scrolling anyways, you can thank Haynar for that! shirunei fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jan 19, 2019 |

A few people have sent me PM's asking for help enabling mouse scroll. I zipped up the folder I found them in and uploaded it to https://www53.zippyshare.com/v/uK7GmfsY/file.html there are actually two mouse scroll fixes in there just use whatever one works for you. I don't have the AHK script since I've always used these old programs sorry!

Apparently some goons got upset over my log con scam on pubbie scum. I don't see how what I did is much different from the antics you hear about going down in EVE? Yet here I am banned from the goon discord and I assume booted from Unknown Guild. I figured the traditional as long as you aren't loving over other goons go hog wild culture was still a thing but I guess this forum is getting old and full of care bears.

A Strange Aeon posted:Can you elaborate on your log con scam? Seriously have no clue what you're talking about. Just your run of the mill recruitment scam. Befriend someone, work on them for months and months to get trust built up, make it seem like I got banned by GM and lost all my toons, ask the person ive been working on if I can use theirs since they dont even play anymore, they being hesitant I tell them if they become a GOON id never betray them or else risk the wrath of Senor Lowtax so they let me use their toons after becoming a J4G. I then strip their toons of all wealth and let the person know that their application to the great goon hive has been rejected and a processing fee amounting to all their pixels has been levied. That's the gist of it.

blatman posted:I wish there was a takp thread so I could post this there but this seems inactive enough that it won't annoy anyone - I clawed my way up from the newbie dirt and made it to 19 on a shaman on takp, farming the spiderling ruins in field of bone to afford spells and some garbage gear, this is pretty much perfect for the sort of game I was after but if anyone has a poison wind censer i'll farm spiderling silks for you in exchange. I think if I can nab one of those I can just cruise to 40 farming hill giants along the way to buy one of those clicky nuke bracers then level off of everfrost giants or something (seafuries in oot maybe?) to pay for torpor which will let me farm guardian wurms in skyfire at 60, this kicks rear end and it's going to continue to kick rear end Shoot me a PM if you ever get up to the mid 30's I play a trio like a couple hours a week to scratch the itch and never get to group with anyone.

Yeah you have to use a third-party utility to get back mouse scroll, but otherwise it's super chill and pretty much anything is open to do. Especially with a three box and maybe a buddy with the same.

NO GUILD AND NEVER WAS. Some halfling supremacists, ok they had one token erudite too, made a guild when the server started. However, like all racists they succumbed to the depravity of their own natures, in this case getting fat on good times then moving on in life. So, there is no formal guild but plenty of people around in various places. Discord would be the place to ask.
