It seems therunes.net is just a ghost. I'll probably consult it for
some epic advice, but I'd like some explanation about the newest AA's
and hear what other chantys have to say. Is there some other site for
us?

    Cool.  The SOE Launchpad.  Now I can log in and
go stand on a hill so I cannot see my target which is standing next
to me and hitting me with a stick even faster...
    OTOH the very first message in the New SOE Launchpad Updates

Recentley joined a raid guild, happens to be with some old friends from my
original server (plus many others I dont know).
Basically a mid tiered guild, probably best described as a hybrid guild
(raid every other day, raiding is not compulsory but is a primary focus).

So I recently put things into high gear and PLed my son's mage from 36
to 47.  Half of that was MM's, as DODH just opened for the Combine
server, the other half was actual PLing, with my SK using self DS plus
clicky DS plus potion DS plus the mage's DS, and just standing there

I've heard horror stories like this, but i've always been fine. Cable
connection, fast computer, all set - but the last few days i've been
tooling around in norrath again and i go linkdead when i zone. What

All EQ servers will be brought down on Tuesday, August 14th around 4:00 AM

The past few days I've noticed the site wtfcomics is down.

EQ Producer Letter - 8/13/07
Hello everyone! Now a Producer's letter that has a bit more meat to it
compared to the one that rolled out prior to Fan Faire.

    OK, the purpose of today's patch was to allow the new expansion
to move to beta.  But if the new expansion isn't in beta what are they
patching te servers with?  Does this mean they're installing pre-beta

Hotfix. The estimated downtime is 5 hours

So last year, while playing on Combine where some of these zones were
still the bigger content open, I gradually accumulated various pieces of
the 1.5 epic, because they'd drop and, well, we knew eventually they'd
come in handy, since we know the later expansions will open and ...

If ever there was a "part time" adventurer, I would be it.  I've been a
subscriber since the year EQ launched, but I've never managed to play in
anything but spurts with large gaps in between.  While others got
"uber", I simply crawled along.  I was reading this newsgroup when it ...

    I've heard an unpleasant rumor of impending rollbacks due to
a dupe bug involving leatherfoot haversacks of all things...  Ugly rumor
or scary truth?

I know not many come here any more but I thought I would ask the group
anyway.
I have a 65 Iksar necro and was thinking of finally getting some equipment
for it.  I've been using hand-me-downs I've had for seven years on other
