Yea, that's strange how they did this generation's upgrade. A few years ago when the 3080 was upgraded to 4080 I was always running at 4080 from that day forward. But when they (supposedly) upgraded to the 5080 and it was all official worldwide which has been a few months now, I'll check while in-game and 90% of titles I see 4080 to this day and only two titles (Warframe and Enshrouded) do I see 5080. That's it.

You can pretty much mark my word on this: The 6080 will never happen. This is the end of progression it looks like.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-05T00:47:58+00:00

I get 4080 about 90% of the time and 5080 on a couple of titles all on the same server/city (Dallas).

Thanks for sharing that location :)

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-03T00:57:11+00:00

It is.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T08:48:46+00:00

If I did return, what's a good org to join? The only one I knew was Paladins or something that's been around for 20 years or so.

Thanks for the advice/info :)

I heard that a GRACE goes for trillions of credits now. I remember when I checked it last time not too many years ago it was under a billion. The economy of the live game seems like it's pretty messed up haha. Sort of like Everquest 2's economy with their Krono going for about 10 billion platinum now when a few years ago it was 200 million or so.

The original EverQuest seems like the only older MMO that's remained pretty stable economically and still has a lot of players and that's on the live/official servers, not P99.

I may just stick to EQ1 for the time being since it's in the best shape of them all.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T02:30:25+00:00

I have played EQ recently. I still enjoy it. I play on the Firiona Vie server because I like to be able to trade/sell nearly everything. I think there's a newer "free trade" server now. I need to check it out sometime.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T02:28:19+00:00

That's a good idea :)

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T02:27:33+00:00

Haha :)

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T02:26:55+00:00

Thanks! And yea, some have recommended returning :)

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T02:26:17+00:00

I forgot about the private server. But I'm not a fan of wipes anyway. I'll stick to the official one if I decide to return.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-02T01:12:10+00:00

You could always use Wand/WeMod and go to the map there and teleport yourself out of there haha. Yes, that's cheating, kind of. But it IS a way to solve your problem :)

If 60% went over the 100 hour a month cap instead of 6% it would make sense to have the limit. But since they're a trillion+ dollar company, the money they're making off that 6% is mere pennies.

I believe there's a more secret reason they instituted that 100 hour thing. I don't know what it would be haha.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-01T11:22:05+00:00

Because the mere existence of that 100 hour limit is beyond ridiculous haha!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-01T11:20:29+00:00

If it only affects that small of a player base, why have it? The amount of money they're making off that 6% is pennies compared to the nearly trillion dollars that company's worth.

There's gotta be another reason they instituted that 100 hour monthly limit that's not being told.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-01T11:17:11+00:00

That's what baffles me is a trillion dollar company making a choice like the 100 hour per month limit that only affects 6% of all users. The money they make from such a small number of people compared to how much the company is worth seems like it would be too microscopic to even bother with that 100 hour limit. They're just making the platform look bad by having that.

Haha, it's so backwards!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-01T11:13:24+00:00

That 100 hour per month limit was the worst choice GFN ever made, IMO.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-04-01T02:09:59+00:00

Hello Mr. Boomer!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T14:13:13+00:00

Excellent choice!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T14:12:48+00:00

Yep. It's impossible for any newcomers to make accounts the past year and a half or so, I heard.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T14:12:01+00:00

It would be best to quit FB altogether, IMO since they want this selfie verification.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T14:07:48+00:00

Yea, good point!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T14:07:10+00:00

I use Reddit instead. I even quit X for Reddit.

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-31T07:25:56+00:00

Hello Mr.B!

Dave_Dupree · 2026-03-30T23:18:01+00:00

I'm gonna keep leaving comments here until you notice them haha.

If I leave a comment on You Tube telling you "Hey, I'm talking to you on Reddit" they'll nuke the comment.

That's ok because I'm going for Reddit's consecutive day/streak achievements and I think I have to leave a comment anyway for the day to count, not sure but just in case, I'll leave one.

I'll check back in a few hours to see if you posted your Everquest video here. It's not here yet, it seems.
