Hi,
I am Pumbaa,
and I'm a EQ addict . . .

aka Pumbaa Dbane

[Desert_Sky]

No but I was a die hard UO addict. But lately WoW has been filling the void left from UO.

 

[jerly]

I used to be a hardcore EQ addict. Re-activated about six months ago, and really hated all the changes. They tried to make it more like WoW. If I wanted to play WoW I would play WoW.

Some people were talking about the possibility of them making a classic server that played the way it did in the first year. Waiting for the boat, Running everywhere, etc. Do you know if that has happened?

Okay then......



















I am officially out of touch. You guys might as well be speaking chinese.

Glad Dude said it, cuz I,m totally confussed, too.

I was first thinking I needed a few beers to figure it out...... guess I'm in good company.....understand ... not that I dont need a few, but at least I know I'm not the only one here wihtout a bloody clue as to what is being said.

EQ - Everquest
WoW - World of Warcraft
UO - No Clue
MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

Highschool me would beat the $#!+ out of current me for knowing the first two...
but thats cool, I make a lot more money than highschool me, and I don't need somebody to buy me beer. Take that, past self!

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Ah, i get it............videogames. I don't do that much anymore. When I was in high school you had to go to an arcade and spend a pocketfull of quarters to play Space Invaders and Ms. Pac Man..........

Of course, that was after I walked ten miles to school uphill (both ways) in two feet of snow..........

 

[EvilTOJ]

UO - Ultima Online.

Ahhhh, you guys remind me of my Diablo II addiction days. All those nights looking for gems so I could make my WhirlWind Barbarian....

I'd better not get into MMPORGs, I have trouble enough keeping this beer hobby thingee under control.

And these were the "video" games that our computer would work with....

They were really asume for us at the time and I'm sure several are looking at them and saying... "Yeah right..." But they were..... our "video" part was in our minds.... Doungeons and Dragons.....

.... don't think I can say anymore that would make me feel any more older then I already feel I'm afraid...hahahahahaha.

 

[Pumbaa]

They didnt do a clasic server but what they are opening up at the end of June is a server that starts as only the original EQ content. Kunark wont be unlocked until all the old world content has been beaten. Once Kunark opens up Velious wont be unlocked until VP and the Planes of Hate, Air and Fear all all beaten. Luclin should open up Sumtime after NTOV? ST? AoW? I dunno but will be fun for a bit atleast.

I figure it will give me something to do until Vanguard SoH comes out this winter. Plus it will keep me home and saveing me some cash so I can build a new machine for VSoH.

Apparently, most of you haven't had the joy of wasting hour after hour after hour on basically nothing. All in the interest of getting your character to the next level. Ultimately quitting the game and feeling guilty about what you could have been doing with all the time you have wasted.

You can brew beer and get drunk in the game though. And it's legal to sell your homebrew.

Star Wars Galaxies stole 6 months of my life. I haven't played in over a year.........................and I think about that game every day.

I wouldn't say most... your safe and in probably good company

 

[Darth Konvel]

I'm an ex-WoW/FFXI player myself. Good times, but I just can't dedicate enough time to justify getting back in.

You guys got majorly screwed on that game. It's like they went out of their way to screw it up from almost day 1

I left right before they made the change that made Jedi a profession. I actually unlocked Jedi but I was amazed at how much grinding you had to do to even achieve Padawan so I said screw this scam and canceled my account. I would love to still play it but I'm not interested in paying the monthly fee to just grind all day. Now, if I was unemployed again.....

You mean they made something after Pong?

 

[BootYtRappeR]

I used to be a CS, RCW and UT addict!
had to give it up due to lack of interest in spending another grand for PC and video card upgrade.

CS rocked!

 

[Pumbaa]

Well if anyone else decides to jump in I'm in the beta . . . unless there are any SOE or EQ reps then just ignore this

Pretty cool so far, People in the newb zones, trains in Crushbone, mayhem everywhere

Couldnt get Pumbaa so I had to go with Pogmo, Dorf Rogue. When it goes live will be Pumbaa or Pogmo if I cant get Pumbaa

 

[Desert_Sky]

[Edmond Dantes]

I am an (ex/bout to be again) EQ addict. Played back in the days of origional beta.
got to where there were to many peeps PLing that didnt know their class, so I got fed up and left bout 2 years ago. But my uncle found an emulator that works for the newest expansions of the game, so now i just have to get a comp that can handle it again(old comp fried).
