    Question - Should I come back to retail EQ?

    emulators are ftw. I avoided them for so long because installing seemed like too much hassle and heard it was buggy and crashed all the time. It's a far cry from what it was and I'm 110% sold, never going back to live where I have to invest stupid money only to get whacked with a ban hammer...

    Funny - Tell me you’re and old gamer without saying you’re an old gamer.

    Anyone else remember how ultra frustrating it was to get that entire game entered from the book, only to find it would not run.. but the typo wasn't YOUR type.. but in the published book?? omg. Could launch a table.

    Question - KissAssist VS RGMercs

    Just a quick disclaimer: Most if not all cwtn (class plugins) do not work on emulator servers. There are some work arounds to get them running, but they are wholly unstable and have a bad habit of crashing the client. Use at your own risk. This is ONLY for emulator servers, Test and Live are...

    Question - KissAssist VS RGMercs

    I prefer RGMercs when leveling low level because things change so fast. Once the levels slow down or I reach max level I switch to KissAssist. While it can be troublesome to get the ini's setup, the conditional parameters and ability to customize each character to a specific type of play works...

    Problem - Looking for help debugging a zoning / freezing issue

    I've checked 5 different client versions and can't find a file "electricg.dds" in any of them. To my layperson self, it looks like it's hung waiting for this file to generate, but why is that not effecting any other account? Are all the accounts using the same client folder? I would start...

    Question - Assistance for AFK in PoK - Unloading

    That was literally your only question in your post. And if the MQ devs know that MQ is not detected unless it's injected into the client and they admit that here, then DBG can read this forum just as easy as any other person in the public domain of the internet and decide to get more...

    Problem - Looking for help debugging a zoning / freezing issue

    I had one account that was always loading like crap. Turns out it was PEBKAC again. My autologin was calling the wrong eq folder for that account and trying to use the default install on the physical drive instead of the SSD. Life is hard.

    Question - Assistance for AFK in PoK - Unloading

    Even if the devs know how DBG is detecting the clients, they aren't going to dish that information out. With DBG going hard on the ban wagon both sides have gone cold war, trying to gain or hide information from the other. Personally if you are going to go through the hassle to unload from...

    Request - A macro to auto close the sub offer

    I couldn't agree more. Any kind of amiable relationship with DBG has gone the way of the dodo. However, given that we don't know how they are sniffing out VV users, any automated click that they can see should probably be used with caution. Then again, I don't play on live anymore for a...

    Tech - Slow zoning and High CPU useage

    Ahh, thank you for clearing that up. That would explain how MQ can run so many clients. My post is completely incorrect then and VM's would not resolve the problem. Can't even run a VM win7 to have more native direct X either so no point there. I'm sure it is. My EQ client boxes are not...

    Tech - Slow zoning and High CPU useage

    Edit: Incorrect assumption. Corrected in post below. From what I've seen / read I don't think this is a hardware issue, but a configuration issue or limitation of software. To my knowledge MQ does not spin up a new process thread for each injection. At 30 injections running through one...

    Tech - Slow zoning and High CPU useage

    Right click the big graph on the CPU monitor and "change graph to" , select logical processors and see if there are a bunch of cores sitting idle while the others carry a heavy load. The Utilization is the average of the overall CPU package, and you can have 4 cores maxed out but the rest are...

    Question - Group Suggestions

    is.. is that shae lebouf? Yeah, i'm creeped out so bad i'm unfollowing this thread.. you win the internet today.

    Question - Group Suggestions

    There is no perfect group. Every composition you can come up with will be missing something or bad at something. Pick a tank, a healer, and some dps with at least one utility class and go to town. I personally tend to stick with shaman healers for melee heavy groups and cleric healers for...

    News - EQ Producer's Letter - July 2022

    Fell off their public agenda list maybe, but they are still very much active in the bans and suspensions.
