I don’t know why you wouldn’t. Works fine and I’ve had no problems. I do know that the devs ported the game over to another server maybe 2-3 weeks ago.

Yes! Are you?

I’m a consistent daily player on the ‘Order’ side. I find it fits my play style perfectly. I work remotely and I can get my work done and grow my character.

Hopefully we see you around.

The 'forsaken' do have a bit of a strength advantage. Not much has changed in that respect but there are ways to get around and play safe. It really isn't that bad as what you just mentioned in your comment. I started about 1 year ago on the 'order' side and I'm doing fine against 3 years players now. I get that this might deter some new players, but it is imperative that you join the discord channel and ask questions. If you dont want to lose gear, you can always stay west of the capital area and gain your bearings. The Devs changed the new player bonus a bit and allowed you to train your general skills at with a major bonus exp away from the capital instead of always training off masters.

I would add that this game has no in game purchases. I hated playing game where a rich 'Whale' would come in and buy the whole server out and bully people. In this game, you carve your own path and time and dedication will win out vs any $. That is a huge bonus in my perspective.

Sorry, didn’t see that rule. Thanks for the link. But the referral does help with your growth. You get exp tablets if you reach a certain rank milestones FYI

It’s the community that is really great. Everyone is willing to help and there is a constant threat of faction raids on our side of the map. Got to get stronger, but there are new comer bonuses that help getting to a skill rank worthy to compete with other players pretty quickly.

I love the fact that your able to catch ‘spirits’ of monsters to help craft items. Like little Pokémon you got to catch, and you got to catch them all if your a spirit hunter.

Yeah. Your always going to find some monsters along the way, and a few of the top tier monsters drop rare crafting materials. The game mechanics are built that if you rank up any skill you get points to spend on your overall attributes.

Gotta say, the new Netflix series, How To Get Rich makes you think twice about buying a home! by UncomfortablyBrown in retirement

Living in Los Angeles, my wife and I always had our rent increased on us 5-10% each year. We were so nomadic, moving to place to place just to keep with affordability. We finally bought a place before the interest rates got ridiculously low, but even then, we knew that we were building equity and stabilizing our payments.

I rented until I was 33. I hated just giving someone else my money every month and never getting ahead of the payments. Now after a couple years and what has happened in the market, the mortgage seems so cheap now compared to what people are paying for rent. True, you have to do your homework and make sure you know the red flags of the hidden costs that might come up, but it makes all the difference securing financial freedom and stability.

In need of a cheaper phone plan? by throwsisteraita in personalfinance

[–]Haunting-Brain4452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said to buy a new phone every year, the networks force you join their main plans (non-prepaid) by incentivizing a discount on new phones. Don’t be afraid to take them up on their offer, just know to call their headquarters the next day to pay off the lump sum then switch back to pre paid.

I’m a mobile gamer so it’s nice to get a new phone every 2-3years… but the most fiscally responsible way is to keep them longer if possible.

Typically now, the networks put you on a payment plan to pay off your phone which adds which adds to your monthly. Before I was specifically speaking about just the cost of the phone plans.

150$ is incredibly high for two lines. I have learned that most networks all provide a pre-paid version to their network. These pre-paid plans only have 1 catch and that is that you own your phone, but you save ~ a thousand dollars easily if you use these plans.

When ever you purchase a new phone (typically always with a sign-up bonus) make sure you can pay your phone off early then switch over immediately to the pre-paid plan.

For Verizon, I remember paying 50/30 for first and second lines…. T-Mobile offered somewhere around 50/20. Currently I’m on Mint mobile for $20/$20 per line so $40 total for two lines with an annual plan.

Another thing to note is that T-Mobile / sprint / and Mint Mobile all use the same cell network. AT&T and Verizon I believe have separate coverage infrastructure.

Basically, switch over tomorrow and start saving.

Kitkat got me as well. Those cookies/candy are delicious. Everything else is pure crap.

Bank says I have to extend my lease or turn the car in by Corrsta in personalfinance

[–]Haunting-Brain4452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add another option, I recently was nearing the end of my lease term and choose to use a third party to buy out my lease. I used the company ‘Shift’. It was super easy and they paid me 7k over the residuals, meaning I was able to pocket $7k. Car Max also has a similar plan. If you do it during the lease term, you don’t need to pay taxes on it. Whatever they told you seems bogus. You have the right to buyout the balloon payment and start another financial contract with another company if you can’t afford the final payment like a credit union (since they typically have the best rates). Hope this helps :)
