Honestly, I feel like at 25% off (used to be 50% at least..) it just is NOT worth it. Generally you can wait like a month tops and grab the pre-order for the next expansion instead.

They posted the exact same thing for mischief/thornblade -- found here https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-mischief-progression-server-2021 So not sure it means anything. Also funny how they don't mention dedicated GM support on their new Aradune, who would have guessed? Also no 2 box limit...

Did you read my entire post? I specifically said that I don't even use half of that ram with 50+ chars loaded. This is what the taskbar tells me, might not be the best way to determine actual ram use :shrug:

Personally I run 54 characters on 2 computers, my main pc runs ~40+- and my old secondary pc runs the rest. Main pc is an i7-13700F, 96gb ram and a 3060 with..12? gb memory Old pc is an i5-8600k with 32gb ram and whatever gpu. Honestly I don't think ram is as important as people have...

Your question is a bit vague, what would you define as a 'raid crew'? You can beat lots of raids with like 24-30 characters -- which is going to have less requirements than running a full 54 man raid. How many characters are you wanting to run? edit: Also what kind of graphics settings are you...

I'm genuinely a bit surprised at the TLP choices, and that's even with them announcing it would be copy pasta to begin with. I'm sure they will both be fairly popular, but they could have improved the ruleset of both servers fairly easily (like adding some of the popular features of other tlp...

The entire EQ AMA thread was beyond depressing, it seems like the devs are mostly wanting good things for the game, but are being handcuffed/restrained to an extreme level. As expected they also avoided a lot of the really difficult questions, I saw no mention of the massive exploits and several...

It really depends on how willing you are to compromise on the graphic settings in game; personally I have everything turned off/down, and it has allowed me to complete ToL/NoS raids with 54 characters (I can't speak for LS raids, I am still missing a couple of groups). On a pc that cost maybe...

Technically, you can probably do Shei with 12, but I suspect you would need specific classes and it would be quite the slog -- easily doable with 18-24 though (at which point you should also be able to do one NoS raid). CoV-wise it tends to be a dps check for the two easy raids -- 25 mill dps...

Why do you think Redguides MQ is not supported on truebox servers (and emu servers like p99)? Why do you think devs would go out of their way to make it work on a passion project that has an even stricter truebox ruleset? I'm genuinely curious, I don't really understand the appeal.

I mean from a quick glance it looks like project quarm has a strict 1 box policy, and a bunch of the same rules as p99 -- seems very doubtful they would want anyone using MQ there to begin with :shrug: If you want to play on an emu server and you want to cheat, why not play on the servers that...

Yeah it looks like Vaniki, especially with the ToL cut-off. https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-vaniki-server-faq

Hurray, this community is amazing! Personally I am a bit surprised to see so few people wishing for the obvious; more RAM! More ram = more characters.. isn't that what boxing is all about? You can never get enough...

This is all subject to change in the new expansion obviously, but up to and including NoS the way that I have been handling my f2p characters is fairly streamlined -- I play on FV so that makes things a *lot* easier. I will create 6 accounts per email per day, I will *not* use them for at least...

Morose, depressed, slightly misanthropic and going through massive withdrawal symptoms! My condolences :sweat:
