14 Days Went To The World (Of Warcraft)

May 9, 2003 fohguild.org

Furor:

You have 14 Days. If after that time the Plane is not properly tuned, I am deleting my characters, and cancelling all of my accounts. The rest of my guild will follow suit, as will several other guilds and people that play Everquest.

Hat Goes On Head. Party Hat!

November 12, 2002 fohguild.net

Furor:

It had been a decade since the last Gatekeeper of the Four Kingdoms had been vanquished.For ten years, Furor Planedefiler, the bastard son of the Radiant One, Guardian of the Kingdom of Fire, Destroyer of Worlds, had scoured the lesser Planes to gain entrance to the Realm of Flame. Only then could his vengeance be extracted. Only then could he take his rightful place as ruler of fire.

His search had left many of the lesser Gods and thousands of their minions dead - sent back to that which has no name to suffer in anguish for all eternity.

Finally, the path had appeared before him in a vision heralded by the Elders of Tranquility.

I Know This Hurts You, Mr Afrasiabi

July 22, 2002 fohguild.org

Furor:

Some people would call me an avid Everquest player, perhaps to the point of fanaticism. If I were to describe myself to another person, however, my life with Everquest would more than likely be a tale left untold. It’s as if I lead a secret life: During the day I work, on weekends I go out with my friends and see my family, but on weekdays, once I’m home from work, I play Everquest. Rabidly.

Raid Guilds As Sacrificial Chocobos

March 31, 2003 fohguild.org

Bazael:

Honestly - theres no reason for plane of time to be finished with the release of the expansion.No one had any right to be in plane of time for the first 2 months that POP was out. If its tuned right, your guild should need as much elemental loot as possible to even survive 3 steps into that zone. Plane of time should be an assraper of a zone. It SHOULD take you 2 months to farm eles and gear up for POT, not to mention all the flagging etc.

Furor On Nerfing Content

January 24, 2003 fohguild.org

nadime:

We’ve had a Hinvat Deathbringer pop on us during a TZ (script) kill… but I don’t remember those guys AE rampaging. Did they change those guys?

Furor:

Yes.The entire event is so severly gimped now from its first two incarnations that I can hardly call it the same thing. I’m not sure what beta-board crybaby is responsible for this, but I know it was one or a group of them (probably some gimp in KTF that has Jahar’s ear and cock).

You Mean Weapon Speed Matters?

January 6, 2003 fohguild.org

Kreugen:

In short, damn near every single two handed weapon in PoP, in every tier including the elemental planes, take a huge step backwards and are inferior to top end weapons in Luclin - which themselves were not significant upgrades over top end Velious weapons.Boy am I tired of this subject.

Norrath’s Economy Is Bigger Than Rhode Island’s

November 28, 2002 fohguild.org

Bristlebane:

I suppose he thinks it’s a way to further the notion that it’s “okay” to buy and sell things with real cash.If anyone thinks he just bought it and re-upped the gold EZboard purely for benevolent purposes, you are a fucking moron.

Yantis sees it as a great advertisement, that’s it.

Firamas:

What, you don’t think it’s ok to buy and sell intangible things with real cash? Got news for you bud, you do it every days: its called services. You pay money so someone will prepare that cheeseburger for you instead of making dinner yourself, you pay money so someone will watch your kids for you in daycare while you work, and you pay your broker money to make you more money. If for some reason you think that Norrath, as a virtual construct, is somehow not allowed to be part of the real world economy in certain ways or have its economy interact with ours, you’re in some kind of perverse denial.

Seeding the NRG - New Raid Generator

aubrynmls:

The bosses themselves at least in the Time level raids are pretty fun. The main problem with LDoN raids is just having to commit 3 hours to clearing endless trash. We have seen this before in high level zones (hello vex thal) but LDoN has really taken it to a whole other level.

If they cut down on the trash and focused more on the bosses and made things around 90mins to 2 hours it would be much better. That and they really need to take a look at the loot and have stuff drop thats going to be appealing to guilds that have been farming time for a while. Because that’s the only people who are going to see this loot. You need to be time geared to beat these things.

People talk a lot about the problems with EQ but this is really it. It’s the speed that they address problems in the game that are rather obvious fixes. I could run off a big list of things that took way too long to fix but people know them. You can add LDoN raids to that list. It’s pretty obvious what needs to be changed and I don’t think it would take a whole lot to make these things much better but we probably won’t see any meaningful changes for a long time if ever.

Plus ca change

December 14, 2003 fohguild.org

Drewon:

Two words:Fuck LDON.
This expansion is a big stinking pile of dogshit, perhaps even horse shit. The rewards are fucking pathetic, the timesinks far outweigh even our greatest expectations (~370 wins for +100hp/mana !) and the content is fucking boring and repetetive. Our last raid we got 2 peices of class-specific shit that rotted, 3 completely useless augs, 2 augs that lowballed off to people that really didn’t want them, and 1 +70hp aug. In 3 hours for an LDoN raid you can get ~2 peices of half-decent augs. In 6 hours in PoTime we can get 30 peices of non-rot non-lowball loot.

Oh yeah - And fuck the 32 man raid limit on 90% of the raids.

How many more days till WoW?

Exclusive Factions; Exclusive Rewards

June 30, 2001 legacyofsteel.net

Tigole:

Today you’ll have to indulge me in a little rant. I’m sitting here waiting for my ride to show up — gonna be gone until Sunday night. But this game just has me thinking right now. . .more like boggling. Now, we all knew the upgraded North Wing loots were coming. They *needed* to be upgraded. Crap was dropping for the effort required to kill that stuff. But the reason they upgraded was for balance right? All of what I have to say is null and void if you disregard the notion of balance. Please work with me here, Pro-Giant people, I put up with your months of whining — I even backed you up. Now look at things from a Pro-CoV perspective. Continue Reading »
