They want staff on hand to deal with the ineveitable hiccups, not out at the end-of-summer BBQ.
    They're all at PAX anyway.
  3. Also, I didn't see that this was mentioned, but if you want to do a quickie poor-man's-respec, you can simply switch to build 2 at the trainers if you haven't used it yet. You'll need to slot enhancements again, but it's an option.
  4. 1) Make sure you have a clear spot on your power tray.
    2) /macro evil "em none$$cce # ccevillaugh$$local blahblahblah"
    replace # with whatever costume number you want

    and this is a good place to start for a list

    Yes, Going Rogue is the next boxed (pay for) expansion.
  6. EQ is still going. There's no reason why CoH shouldn't at LEAST last as long
  7. There are huge groups of Lost bosses in Terra Volta.

Good thing that Hover gives you an across-the-board DEF buff; or I would've been in trouble!

    Not that 5 Enrages and 3 Luck Inspires ignited had ANYTHING to do with my victory, of course .... heh ...

    I'm not sure if its a bug or not; but I didn't get my "Plague" Badge for finishing that specific Arc via Flashback. I got Isolator by Flashing back to Outbreak, and another Badge by finishing its specific Arc. But not this one.... weird...

    Did you do the "Vahzilok Plague" or the "Vahzilok Wasting Disease"?

  11. Seeing as how I'm so busy with school right now, I'm more than willing to provide up to 6 pads for TFs. Just hit me up in a PM and I'll take care of it.

    Yarrrr!

    It's the same thing that happened to me. I'm glad it worked for you!

    Pvp recipes

    As far as I know, you've ONLY ever been able to get PVP recipes in PVP zones.
  14. I played EverQuest on a 36" monitor via a Gateway Media center several years ago. I used a remote keyboard and a mouse plugged directly into the keyboard.

    Personally, I thought it was great and I'm planning on getting another media system when I get my new 55".

    Keyboards and mice have gotten a lot better about battery use, and I don't change my keyboard batteries all that often (every few months). Cordless mice are generally okay about it as well, the ones I've used had their own stand you set them in to charge, and I'd have to charge every week to two weeks or so.

    I do not like using game pads for MMOs, because I end up doing a lot of "pick up and put down" when I need to type something, and there never seems to be enough buttons for everything that I want. However, I've heard of people using them with great success so YMMV.

    I'd stay away from air mice for an MMO.

    Call or visit every single contact that is in your active list. They either have stuff for you to do, or someone to introduce you to.

    You didn't say you did this the last time I suggested it, so I'm suggesting it again. There are a few no-origin contacts in the game now that don't have origin restrictions on who they will introduce.
    I second this. Since they tabbed out the contacts, there IS no more "searching the old contacts" because they automatically go to active if they have something for you.

    Hooboy, even more stuff to remember... how exactly does the /silent version reduce clutter? (And I'm guessing less clutter = good thing. Remember, computer illiterate)
    Depends on how you have your tabs set up. Every time you load a keybind, you get feedback "Loaded file blahblahblah" in your system tab, or whereever you have system chat. I don't see my system chat, so silent loading isn't an issue for me.

    It's easier to have your keybinds in a directory straight off the root of the drive, rather than buried, less chances to mess up the path I put mine in E:\covbinds

    I didn't say put it in a room like Scrooge McDuck, I said swim in it like Scrooge McDuck. If that means Lake Superior, fine, whatever.

    Well I'll find out in about 4 levels on my VEAT. The only thing he hasn't done is the 40.

    Doesn't HeroStats have a DPS calculator?

    It's a Nemesis plot™

    Technically, that sixth costume slot isn't there, but if you prepare your second costume slot appropriately, you do have in essence five costumes and the uniform.
    Is it the halloween salvage that gives the 6th, or is it just the order you do them in?

    I had Norton just before I got Avast, if that tells you anything. I also tried TrendMicro.

    So what you want basically is Fortune's Wheel, but blueside. I can get behind that, but only if they keep the creepy calliope music.

    Sorry, wasn't even looking at the name. It was a reflexive link.
    I'll forgive you this time, since you're always on the ball about providing links, but don't let it happen again!
