• • Best World Map so far

  • The less the Developers put out there the better off they are. Better off behind locked doors.

    I have been watching another game for over three years. I have only seen 6 Screenshots so far.
    If the game is good then i don't care if i see anything before it's released.

    I like walking into a game Blind. It gives me a sense of wow i discovered something like in EQ2. " But this is 2008 and I want the spoon and all extras and free as well." .... /sigh

    Have a Great day.

• • POLL: When do you read Quest text?

  • Then go play Everquest with a bit of Honor in mind , say Hi to Sir Dark paw outside Qeynos for me. or Holly Wind walker, OH i wish it did not changes so much. "not the game" the people.. I played that game for 5 years and i bet i did not see half of it. 90% of my time was solo but i met some really nice people.

    MOST are still real life friends, some we have lost contact with because of moving and numbers get misplaced.

    The only friends i have ever made sense EQ were bad ones, the type that Lie about friendship and stab you in the back . Honor and PvP do not mix. that is why i dislike PvP so much. RvR i can handle.

    So i thank PvP for allowing me to not trust anyone in PvP games. It's really to bad because there are a LOT of good people out there.
    Baa the good Old days are gone so i do Closed beta Tests and leave on Open Beta....

    Have a Great Day....

    Here is an example of a real quest in classic EQ, back before there were minimaps and arrows pointing the way, only a compass to guide you, back before there were stupid unrealistic floating icons above questgivers heads, back when NPC faction mattered to unlock or complete quests, back when exploration and effort was an expected and enjoyable part of playing and succeeding in MMOGs.

    This is the quest to obtain the Langseax or the Langseax of the Wolves. You need a very good faction to complete this quest (amiable at least).
    
    Complete Version: Go to Renth McLanis in the tavern across from Mac's Kilts. Ask him "What dangerous matter?". He tells you of a crime. Agree to hunt the murderer. Renth then sends you to see Dok in Dok's Cigars. Find out all you can about the crime. He tells you to go see the leader of Clan McMannus. This is the fishing village located in West Karanas. Speak to the leader. Then speak to Ulrich McMannus and he tells you Frostbite can track prey if he has a piece of sweaty clothing. Return to Dok and ask him "Where is the sweaty shirt?". He then tells you he sold it to Tundra Jack. Find Tundra Jack on the tundra of Everfrost. He will tell you that Iceberg is using it for a collar and that you can distract Iceberg with his favorite meal, Lion Delight. Go back to Halas and speak to Teria O' Danos. Do the lion meat quest (you get coin and faction as well as the Lion Delight). Once you have Lion Delight, be sure to bury it lower in your container then your normal food to prevent it being eaten by you. Take the Lion Delight to Iceberg and receive the shirt (NO DROP, LORE ITEM) and faction adjustment. Now run to the village and give the shirt to Frostbite. (NOTE: Frostbite will wait for the murderer to spawn before he takes off. He walks pretty fast so I wouls strongly suggest that you have Spirit of Wolf on you. It also helps to have a party member along that can track because I lost sight of Frostbite many times and have had to start over. Also, Frostbite likes to fight things along the way. Help him out. Be very careful not to target Frostbite by accident!) Frostbite will lead you right to the criminal. The murderer will be either Paglan or Basil. Paglan is tougher to kill and probably in his low to mid 20's, Basil is around level 20. Kill whomever the dog leads you to, hope he drops a Barbarian head and then return to Halas with the head. Give the head to Renth for faction, coin, and of course, the Langseax (if you have Basil's head) or the Langseax of the Wolves (if it is Paglan's head). I am not sure what triggers which criminal you get or even if you can just kill both and get both heads, but it seems that you wil normally get Basil.
    
    Here is a short version: Run to village, and receive the lion meat. Run to Halas, turn in meat to Teria and get Lion Delight, faction, exp. and coin. Run to Iceberg, give Lion Delight, receive shirt, faction, exp. Run to Frosbite, give shirt, gain exp. Kill the criminal. Return head for faction, coin, exp and Langseax. One thing to keep in mind is that your faction drops a good deal with the thieves guild with this quest, and the banker in Halas is a thief, making it possible that doint this quest can cause you to get kos if you try to use the bank. Also, you need a high faction with the Wolves of the North to finish the quest.
    
    The faction changes are as follows: When you complete the lion meat quest: Shaman of Justice (+1), Wolves of the North (+1) Merchants of Halas (+1), Rogues of the White Rose (-1); When you trick Iceberg and get the Sweaty Shirt: Shaman of Justice (+1), Wolves of the North (+1), Merchants of Halas (+1), Steel Warriors (+1), Rogues of the White Rose (-1); When you kill Paglan or Basil: Rogues of the White Rose (-1); When you turn in Paglan's or Basil's head for your reward: Shaman of Justice (-1), Wolves of the North (+1), Merchants of Halas (-1), Rogues of the White Rose (+1); Faction adjustments overall: Shaman of Justice (+1), Wolves of the North (+3), Merchants of Halas (+1), Steel Warriors (+1), Rogues of the White Rose (-2).
    
    Be warned that the Halas Banker is part of the Rogues of the White Rose, so you may lose banking privileges if you lose too much of that faction.
    
    Need all dialogues, current faction hits, /loc of quest mobs, additional quest items, quest mobs, details to get both Langseax and Langseax of the Wolves.

    That is when a Game was a Game. /sigh. and Parties stuck tigeather for hours. Mind you things changed when items started to end up in Ebay. then the Game went to crime and Ninja looters. but it was still rather easy to find people that still played with Honor. "Now i do not know".
     

    Thank you for the Reminder of a Great game of the past. and will never see again.

• • why must a game have hundreds of thousands of players for people to consider playing it.

    "A tale in the desert" is 100% crafting only, and is pretty deep at doing it (example: want to make a blade for your woodcarving device? then pickup your mallet and manually pound the blade into shape, literally. The closer you get to the optimum design the better your blade performs)

    
     

    I did the Beta a long time ago. then again with 2 or 3, Sorry i cannot remember.

    Sometime i can remember every game i have played in a flash, sometimes i cannot remember leaving the stove on, which can get to be a REAL pain on Pots N Pans..... HEHEHEH.  I will check it out again to RE fresh my silly memory. Old age and strokes don't help the memory.

    Have fun....
