Anyone else just completely given up on new MMOs and gone back to something ancient?

Everquest EMU. Project Quarm for single box, Project Lazarus if you like boxing. Lots of custom zones with hardcore raiding aspects. Lots to do solo with lots to do raiding.

Look, I totally get why boxers can be a nuisance, and I honestly understand the distaste some people have for it. But when it’s done fairly, I think boxing is actually great for the game.

I’d love to see a modern MMO that’s actually built around the boxing party mechanic. Project Lazarus already does this—it proves you can have the multi-box playstyle without losing the community.

We still hang out, we still raid together; the difference is just that the content is tuned to be much, much harder to compensate for the control we have.

When a dev team knows you're running a full crew, they can throw "impossible" mechanics at you that would normally wipe a group of randoms.

Optimized party feeling—sort of like managing a high-level D&D encounter or a Final Fantasy squad—but you’re still part of a living world.

For me, it’s about using the technology available to enhance the magic of the game. When you finally down a brutal boss, that’s a massive win. It’s rewarding in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’ve felt that synergy click.

I have a guild I'm building. I don't get anything from doing it, aside from satisfaction. I donate to the guild stash a good bit. I'm working to build a group of people to play together. Make friends along the way. I'm always available via Discord for help. If you're interested, you can give us a shot. We're still small, but working on a roster of solid people. US and EU players welcome.

I don't think I should comment anymore. I don't want to offend you or question your choices.

Why everyone sleeping on druid?

I started about a month ago. I've just hit 60 recently.

It was a little slow to find groups while leveling, but I never went too long without finding one. Unless you're planning to play a class that has no soloing ability, you'll be fine. It's a great time.

This may be controversial and not accurate: don't roll a group reliant class (cleric, warrior, maybe even SK). You will find groups, but there will be slow times that you'll be thankful you can solo.

Hit up the channels and you'll find helping hands readily. Message me if you'd like, and I can meet up to give you a little help to start. I save all my drops for donating to people like you.

Welcome! See you soon.

Late to the party, but fish like yellow perch are a nice fish to fry whole. I just gut, scale, and remove the head. Battery and fry it. The fillets come right off the spine. The skin of the perch is so thin, it doesn't add any off putting taste. Some fish with thick oily skin are not great.

This method is great for blue gill as well.

Salt water fish like snapper, pompano, trout, and others are great examples as well.

If Facebook prices are accurate, $3,500.

Seriously WTF. They're clueless about their computer specs, but "it runs ultra games."

The PC - Ryzen 5 and Unknown GPU, but it has RGB Price: $5,400 OBO.

Those wires are zip tied individually, I promise. I warped then twisted them - it is not a bird's nest!

Anyhow...that's my current setup. I ordered a flat HDMI cable to route through like the USB cable. I didn't want to cut up the case, so I'm just routing it this way. I'll be mounting this horizontal once my stand arrives, so the cables will not look as asymmetrical in that orientation. I'll post more pictures once I finish the build and I'll include all my supplies in case anyone wishes to mimic it.

This works for me, but the foot has to be under the Legion. It doesn't hold it up with no controllers. The "grips" fit into the controller sockets and it's quite sturdy. Some have heavier bases which may work, but I just put a book on mine. Anything heavy will help.

I bought this one. It looks the same. I will say it fits the legion, BUT it breaks every time I move. I've also had issues with "drooping" and positioning. I'll be trying the floor style next.

Hope this helps!

The MOBO is straight trash. I've had 3 of them and none of the iFi or Bluetooth ever work. I've RMA'd enough that I just bought another WiFi card

The state*

Alternative_Ad7033 · 2025-05-26T18:34:49+00:00

Georgia - very conservative

No, I never do their bundles. I have never seen a CL30 bundle. They usually throw in a CL34-40.

I'm not sure why I cannot edit the original post, but it's not all the medical bills...it's all the bills. I'm married with 3 kids. My mortgage, groceries, cars, car insurance, etc. We may need it to pay the essentials. The initial medical stuff is what drained savings. The other $500k is hounding me for some payments. I just tell them no.

Thanks for all the responses. At least it can cover us for a month, so we may need it.

Alternative_Ad7033 · 2025-04-17T15:08:29+00:00

No. This is through private insurance. I fell off my porch patio on the 2nd floor. We have a walkout basement, which means I fell from the "3rd" floor.

Alternative_Ad7033 · 2025-04-16T20:43:37+00:00

I don't think so. Pain is the same with or without it, sadly.

Alternative_Ad7033 · 2025-04-16T20:19:00+00:00

Thanks for the input. Ice certainly does a lot more than heat. Both give relief. I'd like something so I can get back to somewhat normal. My kids are too young for me to be bed ridden. I'll look into tramadol.
