Keepers of Fortitude - Saryrn / Bertoxxulous

Hola! Not sure if anyone still remembers me, been a while :cool:

Stumbled over this board by coincidence and was hit by nostalgia. Nice to see some of you guys are still hanging around!
Can't believe SOE released a whole 12 expansions after I left Norrath and joined the world of Aerynth (Shadowbane). Ah well, ended up in Tyria (Guild Wars) after that detour...c'est la vie. :wink:

Nope, sorry. Sticking with SB till I get bored of PvP at least - but I'll remember that offer :p

Big grats on the baby btw! :D

And say hi to Kil for me

Hiya Aeld

Yes, it's the original me :) I still recognize a bunch of the names here on this board, though.

Anyway, not been doing much. Took a break from MMORPGs after EQ and SB Beta and just started with SB again this year (damn mmorpg addiction lol). And yeah, SB is quite different from EQ, but only inasmuch as it's sort of the opposite concept (everyone hates having to kill mobs, no need to collect good gear, but choosing the right stuff at char creation is incredibly important, and definitely no eye-candy). Keeping an eye out for EQ2, who knows...

I actually found some old EQ screens from a KoF raid to CoM on my old comp one of these days... ah nostalgia! :D

/em pulls this posting out of the KoF archives

Actually there is a 1st-Person view in Shadowbane (hit F3), though I believe it wasn't there in beta. Glad they changed some things since SB hit the shelves, having a blast with it nowadays.

Anyway, hi all! Not sure if anyone remembers me, just thought I'd stop by :)

Cute :D

:eek:  omg, that's sick!

There was only disapproving mumbling in my cinema on some occasions, guess I ended up in a show with a Tolkien fan club or something heh. I am going to watch it again to decide if it's good or bad though. But maybe I should wait with that for a bit until the recently read book isn't in my memory anymore. :D

Hey there Trist, I somehow expected to see that post sooner or later :D

Actually I have been sensing that urge to play EQ again myself too, having a real tough time forcing myself not to lately heh

Ah well, hf leveling Trist :p

@Tonz: I just recently upgraded to a GF4 , and I have to say that the graphics simply look better (textures look nicer, pretty much everything). I used to have the same gfx settings with my GF2 in EQ (all new models, etc), but it still does look better and give a nice performance boost with the new card.

But of course, EQ is very memory dependent, so just (eg.) 64 MB RAM and a GF4 won't really help you any.

The Radeon is said to have more power than the standard GF4 cards, but as Care said EQ had some problems with ATI cards before.

Maybe might want to wait a bit with buying a new card until the various companies have their new GF4 FX series up. It would probably smoke the Radeon 9700 pro easily, ie. if you got the money for it ;)  If not, the other GF4 cards are probably going to get a bit cheaper.

The character animations in those EQ2 movies are quite amazing, imho.

Some nice videos about EverQuest 2:

Wonder who will be able to actually run it like that ;)

Grats Kane :)

Were you? :p

I know, I was just kidding :D
