I have started playing less as well, one reason is as Sab said the mudflation which make you feel like rats on a never ending treadmill. Another is specific to me only, my life style in last few years means I primarily make xp in half hour lesson burn a few times a week. This worked out well enough ...

What makes the original game special is the people and fact that it is the first one where every thing afterwards is a clone in some sense. I started late in Velious days, but the game is still incredible, like 100 people on the orc hill. The game is vastly different compare to what it was, hell lot...

I have not really used origin for a few years except going back for making the culture armor on a few times. I did use it a lot when it was first available, because it was the first gate like abilities I had back then other than the potions. These days I only really use Throne of heroes and the pok ...

I wasn't going to touch this, but watched a couple youtube videos and it got my interest up. I may get it and have a go at it at a later date.

Task and mission seem to be a major portion of xp in HoT, the change to mission where you only gain xp if you at the chest. However nerfing the general xp return on the other solo task and mission does not make a lot of sense. It is not like the 2 to 4 aa those generally gives really breaks the game...

Most isn't that bad but 71 for class AA is a little naughty. The nerf to HoT mission and task xp is really stupid.

Time for my rant aside....wtf is with monitor manufacturers these days? 3 or 4 years ago, a minimum vertical resolution was 1200, it was looking like more pixels were going to be added as the screens got bigger and cheaper and make even larger resolutions. Somehow though PC manufacturers bought int...

1920 x 1200 resolution is fairly rare in 24 inch monitor these day, Dell is a good choice.

I played MUDs for years as well, about 6 to 7 years before I shift to EQ. I personally still doing the kill quest in first zone, playing time is fairly weak as usual. Normally I split time into leveling as well, but this time around with all the good stuff locked behind languages, not much choice bu...

I purchased "Witcher" a few month back and played it. Very good game it is and liked it very much. People said good thing about "Witcher II" as well, so that maybe worthwhile looking into for people who are interested in it.

What is the adventuring time? I think this idea is actually going to make me quit EQ. All the years efforts gone! Happy Hunting. Ridgy Adventuring time is just your normal playing time, it is just how they call it. A little over the top I think as well but at this stage of the game not such a big d...

I'd first try reinstall VLC first to see if it resolves the problem for it, then you can work your way up from that. VLC is pretty small, so trivial to reinstall. With my hardware problems, they usually just go dead on me.

Depend on the type of game you are playing, I don't feel mouse make a lot of difference in EQ for me. I am good as long as the mouse fit into the hand nicely and not too light, then all good.
