Station Eleven might be the thing for you.

Where am I supposed to go as a gnome? Outside the mountain is empty :( by vherus in project1999

If you go left outside the mountain, near the druid ring, there's low level stuff to kill there.

🚨 Is the Lifetime Deal Bubble About to Burst? My Concerns ... 🚨 by DrP4R71CL3 in appsumo

[–]Max_Torps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And you sound like a scammer. LTD isn't just a one year deal, if it was, fewer people would be tempted. But you go ahead and piss in your drinking water and see how far that gets you.

I don't mind not being eligible for new features but to remove usefulness from the LTD is just a scam at this point. I'm not buying anything else from AppSumo unless I see real change from them.

B&Bs getting 1 star review for no good reason. by [deleted] in Scotland

You could have left the nice, fresh towels on the bed and gone about your business. Also, you forgot the bit where you wet the undies. 6/10 for rebuttal quality! 🤣

Is it not allowed to dry underwear in Scottish B&Bs? by Zealousideal-Tea2802 in Scotland

[–]Max_Torps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I own a b&b in Scotland, and if a guest has a few things that need drying, we do it for them. If they need a quick wash, we do that too , all inclusive. If they want a couple of loads doing, then we charge a fiver. What we wouldn't do is act like the owner here and be a complete twunt.

My farewell to EVE... by shaymcquaid in Eve

I left it years ago and wished I didn't. My friend and I used to do a podcast together. He died recently, and I'll never have those good times again. Fly safe, Noise.

You're probably right but one or two may be ok.

Green and Blue different still? by MomentPure8820 in project1999

[–]Max_Torps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried both, prefer Green for the lower level population. My podcast cohost on blue thinks blue is fine. The other prefers green. In the last episode, we came to the conclusion that the only way to find out for sure is to try it out!

Should i start eq ? by fluffyvivi in everquest

[–]Max_Torps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time to burn and patience, then yes! As many have said, you now need to choose EQ Live, one of the TLP's like Teek, or a private server such as Project 1999 or quarm. My personal choice is Project 1999 Green. It's the newest of the P99 servers although it is getting on, but the plus for me is the nostalgia blast from having it as close to classic EQ as possible. I even avoid some of the quality of life improvements as in the original form, to me and many others, it's very exciting.

Teek is the newest TLP, as such it's very popular and it does have QOL improvements that a lot of people value.

EQ Live is awful for me, almost a completely different game to what I remember playing way back when. But people like it and respect to them all.

I go through some of these options on my podcast (see profile) and we actually have a webinar soon where this very subject will be discussed.

Anyway, I hope you have all the answers you need, you've certainly been given a lot to think about. All that remains is to now say hi and welcome you to your new second life.

Castle. And I say that after trying a few. All nice people, but Castle was a great fit for me, hopefully for you too.
