Famous words I want to share before I close come from a 1995 film starring Richard Gere and Sean Connery: First Knight
"Your words are talking you out of peace and into war." --Malagant
"There's a peace you only find after war.
If that battle…

Being in the military is a job. They are only doing what they are being told to do. Period.
Don't tell me I can't support the troops without supporting the war. Unless you have some facts t…

Providing too actively services to military wouldn't be a good idea. Currently WoW and Blizzard are considered to be politically quite neutral, working too actively to aid US soldiers would be considered by many as suppo…
That's really sad to hear. SOE is digging a ditch and I don't think they're going to get out of it. I know from what I've read, if Lucasfilms could pull the plug on SWG, they would in a heart beat. Everyone is getting fed up with them. I still p…
I have to disagree with this thread. I remember playing during the time PoK came out and it was what everyone was raving about. Before PoK, it was impossible to get groups in a timely manner without a wizard or druid. I made a druid before then j…
This is one area I can say EQ2 shines in. One major reason is the ability to mentor! When you're high level (especially on toons that were made before EoF), you are trying to find quest you haven't done to work on AA's. One way we find this is by…
Vista doesn't like to play nice with a lot of programs. If running in Administrative mode still does not resolve your issue, try disabling the UAC functionality. This is one of the catch all security settings in Vista. Disabling it will make you …
Lol, how true, how true! Fond memories indeed. When I first began playing, I started a half-elf ranger and began in Queynos. Leveling took forever back then, but I somehow managed to reach level 7 when I got into a conversation with who was to be…
Sorry, just see a lot of flapping in the wind... Still fail to see your point regarding graphics and I hate to say it, it really sounds like a lot of die hard fans like myself who love MMORPGs are so blinded by the fact that we even have a good qua…
Myself, I would not call it an RPG simply because of the way it's built. Others do though and I respect that. It has a lot of great qualities about it like the graphics and the way they patch their system is awesome when compared to the amount of …

Comparing the graphics vs performance of any MMO with single player or multi-player games(Crysis, HL:2, etc.) doesn't work. MMO's have NEVER held up in that sort of comparison, and I don't imagine they ever will. The…
Thanks CSTHAO!
I'm hoping I can encourage you to put together all these good tidbits and if possible get it stickied for those of us looking to return and play the game. Myself, I'm just a casual gamer, but I have not found a game yet that mimi…

I'm not going to finish reading this thread, but I had to put in my $.02
I have: Athlon64 4600, 2GB RAM, GeForce 7600
I run on High Quality, 1280x1024x85Hz, and only have lag in Neriak occasionally.
This post, as man…
1. Population is good on some servers. I play on Najena and it's good throughout the day and night because it has a lot of Australian people.
2. Yes, you can solo to max level. The trick is you need to keep your spells and gear upgraded to at le…

When RoK came out, Timorous Deep basically flashed a sign saying they need to revamp all the old zones. The gear offered in TD is WAY better than anything you can get from the other zones of the same tier. They def…
I too have ordered the new expansion recently. Getting a bit of nostalgia feeling again. Last time I played was like in 2005 I think. Not even sure my lvl 70 beastlord still exist or not (hoping... crosses fingers). I think I'll start one of the…
Yeah, old EQ1 fans and players know what I'm talking about. EQ1 was more involved in combat than EQ2. Sure, on raids you had certain sequences to cast things for maximum dps, but you really had to watch your aggro. Aggro was much more of a factor…
One thing I can say I love about EQ2 are the spell affects. Launching nukes and seeing the whole screen shake like a meteorite hit nearby is awesome! I downloaded a raid video of Vanguard and from the video, the spell affects on Vanguard really su…
Great to here your comments regarding the combat speed. I don't know if you played EQ1 much, but I remember fighting in Karnor's castle as a beastlord and laughing when I'd see the Necro turn the mob into bone form and his hate would go out the roo…

I don't have any performance issues with EQ2 on high settings. I was subscribed to VG a couple weeks back, but too many bugs and performance issues with it and I kept crashing with some kind of memory leak(s).
