I was getting 10-12% reg xp (20% to aa) per lesson there in katta at 83 still. At 84 I am trying the gators in Loping, while they are not "weak con for melee" style mobs, they are also light blue already at 84. The xp has been about the same, 10-12% reg xp per lesson. I am hoping when I g...

My kids favourite card is the jack of spades, but they just like dragons. As an aside, should I be concerned that my older boy regularly lines up a 'buffet' of knights for his dragons (called "Dragey" and "Freckles" <-- don't ask!) before he goes to bed and when I go wake him for...

I've been using an OCZ Vertex II SSD for a little over a year now. It's only 30GB, but all I keep on it are my system and EQ files and the rest of my stuff is installed on a second spinning platter drive.

I was thinking about doing some of the SoD progression (assuming I can find some groups to do so), at the very least for upgradin...

Warning: Unnecessary preamble... After leaving EQ in ~2004 I came back about 8 months ago and have been connecting up here and there and having a good time slowly relearning the game. I left around the time of GoD - for reasons completely unrelated to the expansion release though - and was in a &qu...

I've been slowly working my way through the epic 1.5 and thought I'd let folks know what's do-able in case someone is in the same boat. I started working on the epic 1.5 around level 67 (I had my 1.0 already, so can't speak to the pre-quest). Everything up to Grigor Rojha is solo'able by a 'bazaar-g...
