*gasps* OH NOES!! ALL MY JADE REAVERS THAT IT TOOK.....3 minutes to get Glad to see this fixed! Thanks Hunter!

Even live Titanium was a buggy, unstable POS. I'd try another client asap. And before I hear some whiny little beesh scream, "I use Titanium and have no problems at all!!".....thats nice, Bodie. Now do you also use the same vid card? Drivers? Sound card? Same OS? So many different variables with hardware and drivers for such out there....Titanium was infamous for flaws when used on certain systems. Get SoD or UF....far more stable clients, and they will allow you to actually access content later.

Besides, extra bank space and no coin weight and loot all buttons make Jobu very happy.

I recall reading somewhere that Skyshrine was at one time by surface area the largest zone in the game. I'd not mine using that as another charm grind zone....but would an instanced version work, with the teleporters? Or would it be as instanced BoT is now?

Skyshrine would rock.....ToFS would be too small, as each floor would need to be a separate zone. Hate would be good, too! But my favorite would be ToV! Maybe make guardian drop west, Brawlers east and Sorc and Oracle north? Make it a no train zone, too, and make the mobs beefy enough to discourage 100 mob pulls....or do something else that might limit those huge pulls.

Another idea for charm grind.....Sleepers Tomb.

Mith Marr. Left when SOE decided Saryrn was a better name....moved to Tribunal. Still play there.

Using an A3850 on a Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H board....16 gig corsair ram, a Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III for some key programs, and for the OS (Win7 64). Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM drive, Corsair HX750 power supply. Using a 2 gig 550 ti card.

Ahhhh...seldom on this early.....now I know

Server seems down. 5 AM CST

The issue is with the eqemu login server, not the EZ server itself.

In other words....not much we can do atm.

I like the idea of an epic warrior shield....and improvements to mitigation and defenses when equipped (but NO self heal....lets not unbalance the class!). Make it so that they can out tank a pally self healing. Maybe also fix furious bash? Unsure if that can be done

And Hunter the other day stated that he cannot fix the faulty coding for Tacvi, since he doesnt own the coding for the instances.....so workarounds are the answer for now.

Hunter's stated a few times that the level on the server will never go above 70, and I think this is a GREAT idea. Zones like qvic, tacvi and PoDrags are trivial enough to 4.0+ players as it is.....you'd trivialize ALL current content if you allowed players to keep the abilities and gear they had now AND added 10 to 20 levels and all corresponding AA!! It'd take hundreds of manpower hours to program content and keep game balance if you did.

Ya, checked the other GI I have up, and its fine....but tacvi keeps vanishing.

Is anyone else having problems with tacvi guild instances vanishing? Twice now, and no one is deleting.

Dunno....the pop now is still lower than it was a year or two ago, and unless I hallucinated it I thought H increased his server capacity a while back.

No, and no. Again, as I stated above, the directory is confirmed. This aint my first dance here. The files were, again, unzipped to the same base EQ folder that contains the target of my desktop shortcut. No subfolder was created, as, again, I did get the overwrite prompt for the zone and spell files.

I did get a reply in game that advised me to replace my dbstr_us.txt file (thanks for that Mike!), and that DID fix the spell file issue.....but the mobs are still default human. So sounds as if some file I have on my UF version is incorrect.
