EQ1 Progression server launches June 28

[Strazos]

Just for reference, the boats were working up until some time after the release of LDoN, at least on Karana.

[Phred]

I would have liked boats better in EQ if they'd just skipped it like WoW does.

Huh? Twice in the last week I've been dumped in the water by a boat ... in WoW.

Must be a lag thing. That hasn't happened on our server in months. I can sympathize though. How fucking hard is it to trigger a zone change for everyone on the boat when it hits the line? Appearanly rather difficult as both WoW and EQ had so much trouble with it.

Even better is in WoW, under very high lag, the boat from wetlands to theramore ends up in Stonetalon mtns. I think the zepplin to undercity ends up in Arathi Highlands or somewhere like that under the same conditions.

[Surlyboi]

We never broke up, I never ebayed the guild's loot, none of it.  You need to get off my dick already Haemish, you've been riding it raw for years.  If we oppressed you and the rest of the server that you hate us still, GOOD.  That's skill.  Bitch.

Games are transitory.  Self-important assholes are forever.

I made a difference in Haemish's life; obviously my importance transcends my own oversized well-earned ego.  What do you have besides sitting around posting about transitory games you make no difference in?

This will be my last comment to stroke your attention whore ego, but honestly, your achievements (or anyone's, for that matter) in EQ or any other game you've played or will play mean less in the grand scheme of things than the dump I took this morning. Hence the word, "game".

And the shirt? The Renfaire called, they want their costume back.

Huzzah.

[Strazos]

Also, whoever designed that website is a moron.

That is all.

[Signe]

What is that bulge in Lum's pants? 

You know.   

[Lum]

Dear god, we've devolved to analyzing my pants. Shoot this thread now.

(Pic was taken at DAOC's first fanfair, near its launch, I think, when Combine played, and I told him I'd give him a killshot in return for some really pricey drink.)

(Oh, and I look very peaceful because it was late and I was sleeepy. Ah, sweet floor, how I missed you.)

[WayAbvPar]

What is that bulge in Lum's pants? 

You know.   

Obviously he stuffed his moneyhat into his pocket before the picture was taken.


Also- Deyth, you should seriously consider killing yourself. Doesn't the never ending stench of feline excrement make it unbearable to go on?

[HaemishM]

The server is called The Combine right?  I thought that was a joke, then I read a bit more and I think it's real.  How ironic.  I'll skip this one. 

You know, the Combine Empire, from Norrath lore? I can see the irony tho if you're one of those poor gits like me who got Smithing up to 200 before stacking.

Unfortunately, in a disgusting bit of irony, the Combine was also the name of one of the biggest collection of cockmongers on the planet at release, the Combine guild on the Karana server. Said guild also broke up when it was discovered that the leader was ebaying the guild's loot back before Kunark.

We never broke up, I never ebayed the guild's loot, none of it.  You need to get off my dick already Haemish, you've been riding it raw for years.  If we oppressed you and the rest of the server that you hate us still, GOOD.  That's skill.  Bitch.

Your guild never broke up? Well, they sure as hell disappeared from Karana, you self-important twat. Perhaps some of your inbred circlejerks stayed together and formed an unimportant guild somewhere else, but for all intents and purposes, your Combine split into two other guilds, which spent years maintaining a rotation on planes and dragon targets while talking big shit about how hardcore they were. Your "skill" involved running pell-mell to a static encounter every time it popped, then killing the same targets the same way because they did the same script of tactics over and over again. That's not skill, it's perserverence. You certainly have more patience for boring, robotic pixel-smashing than I do. If that makes you hardcore, enjoy it. I personally got tired of that static, stale gameplay model after the first year of raiding.

Yep, you sure did. You showed me just how fluffed up and self-important people can become on MMOG's, including myself. Thankfully, it only took me a year and a half of running a guild trying to do raids to learn how much of a dead-end bit of stupidity that is. As for trauma, no, you are just one more name in the list of cockgobblers who ruin games. It's a mighty long list.

Oh and you actually took the trouble to save a Google search on yourself that gets emailed to you? Are you fucking kidding me? I thought I had a big ego.

[Nebu]

Threads like these are the reason I keep coming back.

I love you all!

[Strazos]

I'm disappointed - Haemish is holding back.

It's called "switching games" dipshit.  Some people stayed behind and formed new guilds, how amazing.  I may do the boring, robotic pixel-smashing but you forego that to instead dedicate a serious amount of time to TALKING ABOUT IT.  Newb.  For all the claims in this thread of how unimportant games are, or any success to be had inside them, you all seem to spend a serious portion of your lives discussing them.

My "skill" was traumatizing others, and a job fucking well done I'd say.  You're scarred for life, Haemish.

[Strazos]

You really like to read your own words, don't you? No one wants your shriveled epeen here.

[Deyth]

You really like to read your own words, don't you? No one wants your shriveled epeen here.

Is that your way of asking the bad man to go?

[Strazos]

No, that's a slightly subtle way to call one such as yourself a self-important douchebag. Whatever you have done, it's of no consequence, especially when it comes to gaming.

And who the fuck stores a Google search of themselves, and gets automated emails pertaining to such searches, just so they can go to the source and talk about themselves? Get over yourself buddy.

These names, they hurt.  Why you hurt me so?

I like to know where I'm being talked about.  Obviously with good reason, halfwit.

[Strazos]

Oh, you have to strike down that smack talk going on about you on the other side of the internets?

Again, who gives a shit.

[Deyth]

Not strike down, participate.  It's entertaining.  Perhaps you are young still, but know in the future you too will get pleasure from those who ride the penis.  Cyber or otherwise.

[tkinnun0]

I do!

Edit: Would you please leave, nobody wants you here. KTHXBYE.

[stray]

Like I said Deyth, it's not a rival guild site. It's barely about anything you'd associate with competitive gaming (and the shittalking thereof).

That schtick is kind of pointless here. Nobody is "board warrioring" with you. Nobody is arguing with you. No one's even pissed at you. We're telling you to shut the fuck up out of pity. Because we care. Because it's sad to see some retard bring boxing gloves to a table tennis match. And whatnot.

[Surlyboi]

Table tennis? What the fuck am I supposed to do with these shouldermapads?

[Fabnusen]

Couple of things I have learned from this post:

1. Based on my post count (3), and inverse logic, I have a massive "E-peen"
2. Google searches can be saved and mailed to you
3. Said saved searches can be use to highlight a creepy bit of self-stalking from (most likely) a mid-forties, small-dicked, bald, unemployed, living in his mom's basement, male who spends most of his self-indulgent time with his grippies around his ankles, one-handed typing to some other man-boy-assclown named "Chrsitie".
4. Gaming as a living (that is coding, designing, building the infrastructure, etc) is a worthwhile enterprise and worthy of much discussion like any other profession.
5. Confusing the above with playing games is where the mistake is made. Nothing you do in-game matters at all, anywhere. Confusing in-game "goals" as achieving something that matters is sad.
6. Most importantly, EQ1 nostalgia is sweet and I have many fond memories. The reality of the game (as of last night for me) is far, far different. It's kind of like remembering your highschool sweetheart, compaired to the reality of what she may be now.

[HaemishM]

For all the claims in this thread of how unimportant games are, or any success to be had inside them, you all seem to spend a serious portion of your lives discussing them.

I never said games were unimportant. They are important, if only to give people something to do that they enjoy. As for the accomplishments in them, well, they mean fuckall outside of the people involved.

My "skill" was traumatizing others, and a job fucking well done I'd say.  You're scarred for life, Haemish.

How is calling you and your crew of twat waddlers useless sacks of DNA from the ejaculate of a catass traumatized? I call it like I see it. Your crew of inflated egos and puffed chests made things like instancing necessary. Your kind made me realize that spending 13 hours clearing a zone for 5 pieces of loot was retarded. You did me a service, like a blowjob only with more positive afterglow.

And again, you discovered this thread doing a Google ego search that you do routinely enough to have set it up as a macro. You owned yourself.

When the sweetheart is EQ, you realize bitch has crabs.

[tkinnun0]

Are you a griefer?

[voblat]

Is that your way of asking the bad man to go?

Ive seen the picture.

i'd like a second opinion .

[Fabnusen]

I see your point. I didn't mean that statement like you can do anything, pee on anyone's parade or be a general cat's ass at the expense of others.  I meant it in the vein (no pun intended) that "earning" the "Massive E-peen Sword of Pwnage" doesn't amount to squat in real life. As in, real goals are things like raising a family, owning your own house, out-living the life sucking bitch you pay alimony to.......that kind of thing.

I'm not here saying my guild is better than yours, especially since I doubt most of you play games otherwise where would you find the time to sit around discussing them endlessly?

3.

3. You managed to throw in every cliche in there, well done.  Thing is, people have actually met me in real life, including Lum (see picture posted above).  It's more likely you fit that description than I do.
5. Things you do in-game matter in the gaming community.  That's where your disconnect is because you're not a part of that community.

For all the claims in this thread of how unimportant games are, or any success to be had inside them, you all seem to spend a serious portion of your lives discussing them.

Haha!  How long did it take before you stopped crying yourself to sleep?

Why is it always one or the other?  So you can either be good at games or be good at real life?  I'll have to ponder that as I'm partying in the Dominican Republic tomorrow or taking in Italy later this year.  Pseudo-gamer wannabe intellectual losers.  You can't even win at simple games, let's not even get started on real life.

Hey Deyth, the jerk store called. They're running out of you!



Though, everyone involved in this little piss fight is missing the point.

Are you serious?  Did you pull on your suspenders and yuck loudly in satisfaction after that post?

[Ironwood]

My Goodness, someone who makes Bruce look sane.

I'm shocked and strangely excited.

[schild]

Are you serious?  Did you pull on your suspenders and yuck loudly in satisfaction after that post?

For the record, I didn't even want to enter this conversation "fo' realz" until you started trashtalking the website because of some 6-8 year old grudge against one person.

See Deyth, here's the problem. When you saw Haemish's post in your little freaky Google emailer thing, you should have ignored it. The fight between you all doesn't belong here. The vast majority of people here have no clue what the hell you all are talking about and definately don't care about watching you all sword fight with your wangs. No one cares about your fantastically huge badass guild and f13 isn't some site just for a guild. We don't care about that sort of political bullshit. We take games very seriously, but not so seriously that we're wandering from website to website to website hoping that someone mentions us in all of our glory.

You on the otherhand are one of the prime reasons websites like ours exists. We're the foil of The Combine. You coming here to bitch and moan about what someone said is completely missing the mark. If you're so proud of your guild and all of the shit you've done with it, you should have taken a smug satisfaction in knowing Haemish was lying to make himself feel better. In fact, by coming here and starting a fight about revisionist history, you've cast your view of what happened and his view of what happened in a suspicious light.

While that makes for good drama, it doesn't make for interesting debate on MMOG killpolitics.

You're an asshole uberguilder, and Haemish is an asshole MMOG critic. Those personality types should never, EVER clash lest they open up a black hole of suck that will destroy reality as we know it. So go the fuck back to your corner of the web and stay the hell away from here.

[Lionhunter]

People should just supaplex.

supaplex supaplex

[Azazel]

I know I'm coming into this thread late, but fuck is that really the real Deyth from The Combine?

Man, back in the day these guys were the biggest badasses on the server. They fuckin' pwned the high end of the game.


sorry, can't go on. I've played EQ since before Kunark, with breaks on and off, raided for most of that time, on Brell > Cazic, and I've never fucking heard of you or your guild. You're just another self-important wanker who got some notoriety on your own server by being in Uberguild_024 but here's a clue for you. Unless you were in FoH or, um.. Afterlife, noone else has heard of you or gives a shit. You got your photo taken with Lum? Like, massive grats, mate. A dev spoke to you once. Awesome!

Anyway, how is it you have time to troll here? Shouldn't you be out catassing? Or maybe betaing Vanguard?  :-D

[Strazos]

I'm not here saying my guild is better than yours, especially since I doubt most of you play games otherwise where would you find the time to sit around discussing them endlessly?

Actually most people here probably play more games than you. We also do a lot of things entirely unrelated to gaming. It's just that most of us don't spend all of our time catassing in one single game.
