I'm sure 99% of you know this, but in case there is one person who doesn't know about Ranja Gate in the new Frostreaver, I'll spill. Non-gating classes can simply make a level 1 char in a persona slot in the city they want to "Port" to. Say, I'm a Barb grouping in Kunark and I want to get to...

This is not true. A map file and some of the source code was mistakenly added to a release. It is embarrassing and many of Claude’s competitors will gain an insight into their secrets. I use Claude 10 hours a day in 3 computers at a time with 3 separate projects going. Now I’ve been a software...

I did not have this on my “Reasons why my 25 years in EQ will end” bingo card

Well it worked so I’m happy. Had to make sure hard coded coordinates were not used when invalid. And AI is the only way to code anymore, hands down.

Here’s a RedGuides-ready post — formatted in their typical style (clear problem → cause → fix → snippet → why it works). You can copy/paste this directly into a thread or resource comment. 🛠 BoxHud Invisible / Off-Screen Fix (After Monitor / KVM / Resolution Change) 🔎 Issue BoxHud is running...

That worked for everything but BoxHud. I tried deleting the LUA Folder and resynching it in case the location was stored in that folder, but no luck. I can't drag it becuase it is off scrren on both screens.

I have changed monitors, and now when I load my LUA and Plugins are off screen and not visible on either screen. How can I move them back to the char window?

I was watching some spring traing games; yep, I'm as addicted to baseball as I am to EQ. Anyway, spring training rosters are huge; I follow my team and its minor leagues pretty closely, so I know most of them. I was observing that there are players with names on their backs and those without...

Please please script this. I’m on my knees begging. I rely on all your scripts now.

I have a char that does foraging and fishing tasks for me. He is an alt that gets loaded when the main team is off selling and trading in the bazaar. Anyway, he was at level 121 in December and I wanted to get him to 130. He made it by doing only Overseers - 12 hour task 2x a day. Talk about...

Just 12-17 inches of snow here. I’ll take that all day over thick ice/sleet/snow all day

The running...so much running. Getting from EverFrost to West Freeport felt like a "Lord of the Rings" type of quest. It was nearly impossible until you were in your late teens without a group. Then, if you died, you had to run more to get your stuff back.

After the first month of SoR, I'm not thinking this is a successful expansion. Now, personally, I'm slowly taking my 6 man team through things; it's got challenges, but that's OK. I don't raid, so I'm ignoring anything to do with that. The success I’m referring to is not actually about...

I have a char with 130 max AA Enchanter and Bard. I swap them out depending on circumstances. If I want to explore a new area or a known swarming place, I use Enc - far better crowd control. If I want all out DPS it's Bard.

In this expansion, a mage is the win. Good DPS, but only having to navigate on through SOR and Rift to the zone line then COtH the rest is a huge quality of life improvement
