It is a commentary on anime characters and what they look like.

The combat revamp for EQII was basically what saved it from death as far as I'm concerned. I had actually quit the game back in April, came back for a short stint pre-LU13 then when DoF and the Combat Revamped happened I've been hooked ever since.

It definitely put skill back into encounters. I got bored with Ceryse because all it was was button mashing and started Gwyn after I did the solo froglok quest. Didn't play for a while because of other things, then worked her up a bit before the CU. I had to relearn how to play her but she's incredibly fun now, especially since she got past the Hidden Shot hurdle. I really think that's when we come into our own, because prior to that we're mostly melee. Although even then it took skill to get that Cheap Shot-run around (or through) the mob-backstab move off.

I was happy they upgraded Cheap Shot's stun duration. It was practically useless pre-CU and it became our secret weapon afterwards.

Whoa, it's Pesco. Did I just seriously miss something or did he just come back?

Pesco!

Did you see? They made it so poisons no longer drop when you die!

Heh, yea. Been waiting for that since they said they'd do it awhile back.

Prices had already skyrocketed for legendary poisons before the change due to the demend. Curious if the alchemists will take further advantage of the situation.

Not that it really matters for me, I get it at costs.

Oh yea, Merry Frostfell everyone!

I have to make Leoric on the boards eat his words, though. He said he'd believe it when he saw it.

Of course it's having issues atm, still dropping and such, but I'm sure they'll work it out.

If nothing else, you can't argue that EQ2 isn't a gorgeous game. Except maybe the player models. Those are up for debate.

I wouldn't say gorgeous, but it is a good looking game. The player models are really fucking ugly though, there's no debating that.

I haven't seen much of anything that made me think EQ2 was especially pretty.

All the screenshots I've seen look faded and washed out, kinda like Morrowind-lite.

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

The screenshots don't do the game justice. I run around on Extreme Quality and screenshots just don't seem to get the same texture resolution as the game does. No idea why though.

well what I call silly you might call cute
Im sure Gwyn will be precious

and by Nightmares I mean this horse is pitch black with plate bardingon the head and saddle, with flames coming out of its eyes and hooves, and the good side citygets a similar horse with blue mist and white skin.

other 2 interesting mounts in game are the barded mounts and flying carpet from the expansion and a guild related ghost horse.

The glory of WoW is that good and evil are not really around. Everyone's evolved (or devolved) to a fight purely for survival.

Humans are noble homesteaders, but also violently racist and supremacist. Dwarves are fastidious little producers, but are also defilers of the earth and care very little for who's affected by their plundering. Gnomes are cute and cuddly, but also dangerously reckless. Night Elves are stalwart defenders of nature, but also greedy xenophobes who would sell their new allies out in a heartbeat to regain their immortality.

Likewise, the Orcs are vicious brutes, but also a noble people trying to rebuild their shattered culture. The Tauren are sturdy defenders and don't brook any intruders in their land, but they are nurturers and tenders of nature. The Trolls are violent and bloodthirsty, but they are honorable allies who defend the Horde proudly and unwaveringly. Even the Forsaken, who are currently plotting to wipe out the humans, are acting in the name of self-defense (though it's a nearly-invisible line between self-defense and genocide with them).

I look forward to the day when narrow-minded, cliched plotlines like EQ2's are done away with.

Ah, is that Pinchy's quest?

The lag was so bad tonight in game I logged off to try again maybe Friday when I'm off. Was also busy watching Mr and Mrs Smith. That is an awesome movie.
