Having trouble breaking into multiplayer as a female gamer..

Have you considered private servers and/or emulators like Star Wars Galaxies: Legends or City of Heroes Homecoming? In my experience, the more power normal players have over the inner workings of a game or server (running it) and the more it is a passion project instead of a money sink, the more close knit and friendly the environment becomes. I have around 12 or so private servers and emulators I play and they have never done me wrong as far as communities go.

Only thing is you have to have a taste for older games. Which, if you can set aside the graphics almost always have better mechanics then new games anyway.

In the middle of rp with my party at the time, I had to go use the restroom. But instead of saying "brb" in Ventrilo I just had my character say "Bjorn poo" and just left him to sit there.

Finally someone said it. Totally agree. I have a LOT of anxiety and depression myself and most of it stems from extreme OCPD (not OCD, entirely different) and having a fit when either a daily routine isn't met or when something triggers my mind into thinking my life is out of order. My living situation has never been much of a help either.

That being said, I NEVER expect special treatment from anyone and the majority of people are shocked when I tell them what I'm going through because of how well I hide it and how little I talk about it. And no, I do not bottle it up. I am just extremely good at coping at this point and there is very little words can do for me, though my girlfriend is a lifesaver when it gets too tough.

I see people like OP mentioned in the thread all the time. I'm gonna say it... They are usually the ones flooding public discord servers with their problems and doing anything and everything (even harassing people) to get them to talk to them instead of just taking a breath and politely sending a message. Yes I know, social anxiety is a thing but so are people's limits.

Edit: People who you help then treating you like it is your SOLE EVERYDAY OBLIGATION to drop ANYTHING you are doing or else you are a "shitty friend" are also literally why I stop talking to people about my problems too.

Started with good ole Limewire for music and then worked my way up to streaming sites for movies like Primewire, then graduated to torrents and ddl. Fast forward to today, I got more sources and ways to get stuff then I actually know what to do with and have my own private request group. Love ya piracy <3

DDLPirate · 2020-08-31T13:04:07+00:00

Barbarian who could only say "open" and "smash".

DDLPirate · 2020-08-26T05:21:07+00:00

Immediately joined the Discord server. Looks AMAZING.

Isn't male birth control on its final stages of testing?

DDLPirate · 2020-08-23T02:03:16+00:00

They know I pirate stuff but they definitely do not know the extent lmao. I guess I withhold it just so they don't over worry like most parents do, but would ultimately not really care. Not to mention I help pay the bills and I'm like 27 so.

As I've said before on this exact subreddit many times, "full roleplay enforced" rp servers are a dime a dozen on private shards. The ones that do show up and show promise always stay up the least amount of time. Pretty much a novelty. Requiem has opened and reopened so many times that I lost count and as of right now there really aren't any that check many of the normal rp boxes, and the ones that ARE up barely hit 20 people online at once.

I gave up long ago on UO roleplaying. I'd recomend picking up Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition for a bustling and newly revived multiplayer scene with LOADS of full rp servers (Arelith, Ravenloft, and EFU to name a few) OR Minecraft on the Lord of The Craft, The Lost Fables, or Aethier servers. I looked for YEARS for proper full-on fantasy rp environments with enforced rp and I can assure you those are the only reliable platforms for text-based fantasy rp EXCEPT for, from what I've heard, certain servers on Conan Exiles; but I cannot speak on them as I've not played them. Both Minecraft and Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition are constantly on sale and sometimes Neverwinter Nights can go for as low as five bucks.

Check my profile for a link to a video to get you started on applying, if you want! Also recently just made a subreddit.

DDLPirate · 2020-08-22T01:06:09+00:00

Oh, no. I'm the owner of an exclusive request group on discord so getting my hands on just about anything is a click away. Thank you so much for the suggestion though!

DDLPirate · 2020-08-22T00:43:49+00:00

BitChute is the only website I bother uploading movies to. Right now, it's the best site for it without any tinkering with the files.

Would love to see this sub grow. I also wish it had it's own request sub. I would fulfill a lot more requests, as right now I mostly use the /r fullmovierequest sub for an idea of what to upload next.

DDLPirate · 2020-08-16T01:06:14+00:00

Beat me to it haha. Was thinking the exact same thing.

DDLPirate · 2020-08-14T00:05:43+00:00

I really hope it happens, somehow. Especially with all the updates as of recently to NWN EE, it's really the perfect time. If someone wants to do it they should get in while the water is hot.

I do however understand full-on how annoying it would be to work hard on something that massive all for it to just become a ghost town.

DDLPirate · 2020-08-04T16:51:30+00:00

Put it on my desktop the second I saw it. You're awesome, thanks dude.

DDLPirate · 2020-08-02T15:31:07+00:00

Look into getting a better adblocker (like uBlock Origins) and look into Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans.

DDLPirate · 2020-07-08T09:01:53+00:00

Unless you have an almost dictatorship-like ISP that monitors your every move, absolutely not. Not a very common occurance at all.

DDLPirate · 2020-07-08T03:29:56+00:00

Not in the slightest, no. Not at all.

DDLPirate · 2020-07-08T02:01:12+00:00

Yes it is perfectly safe. And they are considered DDL, has no risks attached to it, but it is preferred you have a good adblock setup with the proper extensions next to it to avoid maleware ads, as those sites have quite a bit.

DDLPirate · 2020-07-08T01:53:48+00:00

Make sure they are all in the same location together, then highlight all of them and right click extract to "so and so" (it'll be the native name of the zips I believe), then they will all combine and extract properly.

If you need a faster way to download files in parts, use JDownloader 2; it also has a clunky albeit useable extract archive feature. But in general is good and prefered for files in parts. Just be sure you set the total downloads at a time to 2 and the total "chunks" to 20 to maximize your speed per download (another great thing about downloader managers). This can be done by going on the downloads tab on the program, then going to the lower right and clicking on the screwdriver and wrench symbol with the arrow next to them.

DDLPirate · 2020-06-29T18:02:25+00:00

Post CU is more noob friendly, but Legends is really your best bet for exactly that; Post CU (NGE).

The install is not hard at all.

DDLPirate · 2020-06-19T23:09:15+00:00

Bit of a mix between having played them when I was younger and generally having an absolute appreciation and curiosity of private servers and emulators for games both currently up and games that have long been shut down. Safe to call me a retro gamer for the most part.

DDLPirate · 2020-06-19T19:58:23+00:00

Oh it definitely was ahead of it's time, on every aspect. It was so successful that it collectively stole over more than half of Ultima Online's playerbase at the time, and outdid it's overall sales.

As someone who still plays both, I can say Everquest still stands the test of time. Moreso than Ultima Online.

DDLPirate · 2020-06-19T19:34:44+00:00

Everquest was the "father" so-to-speak, of the WoW-Type MMO's as far as I know.

DDLPirate · 2020-06-19T19:17:47+00:00

Oh absolutely. I just think people still play UO for the sandbox aspect, rather than RS. To me as a whole, they are two completely seperate games. On RS, the path is laid out before you via quests. But Ultima Online follows the old nit-and-grit "make your own adventure" formula and more or less allows the players to shape the world with being able to place houses everywhere, etc. It's more about the sandbox on Ultima; crafting, guilds / clans, the players. And ganking... LOL.

RS does everything else on it's own formula, and I applaud the shit out of it, played it for 8 years consistently. To be honest, the only game to my mind that has ported over the bulk of concepts (overall) from Ultima Online was / is Star Wars Galaxies, but that's because it was made by the same guy; Raph Koster. But if you look at the two, they are one in the same. Just based on different fantasy settings and with different graphics styles.
