It is a misnomer that the MT is group / or raid leader and assumption made by a lot of novices. The MT is a meat shield and he is reliant on the abilities of the healer to keep him alive. His focus is only to hold agro on the mobs that are being fought, he will in general have little oversight...

Now just because I can get PU groups doesnt mean that they are any good. TBH too many of my groups have been awful, but I put that down to non-EQ1 players. Casters are overnuking, Tanks dont taunt, dps are wailing in too early. Overzealous players get p1ssy with healers when they die, because...

I think that you will find that an awful lot has changed since beta 2.5 There is a lot more content, many of the classes are undergoing major revamps. Zones are undergoing major overhauls. I am not sure why you think that combat is button-pushing rubbish, it isnt overly exhillarating -...

Probably EQ1 - that game was a life hoover.

u Hardly a cheap attempt at being an EQ1 clone - Brad McQuaid was the designer of the original EQ1 with John Smedly. Yes much of the community is elitist but the game is very much being designed with that community in mind. But please dont confuse elitist with unfriendly - compared to the...

Erm, there are no world-wide chat channels any longer :D Brad's initial vision for VG was not an EZmode MMORPG it was designed for what he called 'core gamers' which distilled out are, the oldschool EQ1 gamers. The problem as you put it is the game is polarised mainly by age (generally)...

M8 I have been playing MMOS since Kunark days of EQ1. I played SWG - for what it was worth (overhyped poorly designed, poorly implemented half asses attempt at an MMO) and tbh the crafting in it wasnt that great - lots of unique items, but nothing that special - so yes VG crafting is very much...

As 1/3 of the best game items are crafted, and you have the ability to craft unique items (as in SWG) the crafting is on a par with SWG's crafting system. This also reinforced by the fact that many of the items currently being auctioned are crafting raws I played EQ2 from early beta and...

Yes there will be an open'ish beta - basically anyone registered in the forums will get a beta invite. Speaking to a 'friend' who is in closed beta at the moment, there is a long way to go yet. There are a lot of bugs and many of the classes are undergoing total revamps - Druids being the last...

I love my copperhead. For some reason it was in the 'bargain bin' at Overclockers for £17 boxed but without drivers - so it became mine. Best £17 that I have ever spent. It is light, comfortable and fantastically sensitive, tbh I'd hapilly buy one at full price.

Not done by me personally, but was present when it happened. EQ1 - sitting around in POK chatting with some friends when this Epic Cleric pipes up in OOC- I cant get my clicky stick to work. Can anybody help ? EvilNecro - What seems to be the problem ? EpicCleric - I cant get my...

*** WoW does not actually have one single original idea as far as MMO's go. It is EZmode MMORPGs fro the masses. What they do have is a very polished easy playing MMO that appeals to all of the BNet kiddies. All WoW has done for the MMO community, especially the first timers, is give...

I can only speak from my own kit. I have just built my second MCE in an Antec Fusion and I must say it is very very quiet. My specs are Asus A8N-VM CSM mobo AMD x64 3700 (939) processor 1 Gb Geil DDR 400 1x 120Gb Maxtor HD - OS 1 x 300Gb Maxtor HD - TV Sapphire X1600 Pro - Graphics...

According to the MS DX10 devs (interview september 06) none of the Crysis Videos / screenshots were / are dx10 - as of september 06 they hadnt actually got any dx10 hardware. All media was either DX9 or rendered.

You want some CT100 or CT125 double screened coaxial cable. That is an F-connector (screw on)

Only problem with a laptop is that most major airlines have now banned Dell, Apple and Sony laptops from hand-luggage after the exploding battery affair. Virgin were the first to ban them on safety grounds and many other major carriers have followed. Personally I wouldnt want to put my laptop in...

Kinda worrying that there are no 'real screenshots' of what DX10 cards are producing. Listening to a podcast with the microsoft DX10 team the other day, the interviewer asked about the Crysis Screenshots, they replied that they were all DX9 or rendered as the devs have no DX10 hardware yet...

Dont use CAT5 cable for alarms or PIR's. You are better off running multi-stand 8 core shielded alarm cable. Multi strand cable is designed for tighter radii and is less brittle.
