I have resubbed to wow. Looking forward to getting sucked in and hating my life more than I do now.

after sixteen years I reactivated daoc this past winter, right before covid. i found some rando guild that kind of sucked but i played a few hours a night

when covid hit i was super traumatized and scared and didnt touch my game computer for two weeks and ended up just cancelling to save a billing cycle on my two accounts



don't play MMORPGs, kids.

I bet you can ballpark the exact week I quit from my character last names lmao

mistress of the battlegrounds. love that poo poo.

Problem with daoc is the endgame (level 50 but you keep getting abilities due to player kills but on a log scale basically) has no upper limit and because you can get higher ranks past that so fast now, you go out with a realm rank 6 character like all my 50s and basically get insta vaporized by nerds that play 40/week and are all realm rank 11-13 which confers huge advantages on them. I got tired of it

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
Yeah they 'clustered' all the servers to one environment, so everybody goes and PvPs (or RvR in daoc parlance) in the same zone, but there are eight housing zones or something and your house only exists on Ywain4 or whatever.

The big issue for me is that it's US primetime only. Back in the early 00s there was a 24/7 stream of activity, rotating between the euros, the NA crew and au/nz. Now nobody logs on until 5pm Eastern and everybody logs off at 10pm Pacific. Rest of the time its like 10 nerds hanging out powerleveling in Lyonesse during business hours. Zero activity if you aren't a prime time evening player.

if anybody wants to gently caress around with daoc you can sign up a free account and I'll powerlevel you to 50. it'll take about 12 hours real life time over a couple days and will be tremendously boring as we watch my cabalist pet shred pygmy goblins, but i'll get on chat and tell jokes and bullshit with you.

OK I've literally forgotten everything about these things so:

I'm rebuilding my 98SE system for James, and the way I figure it is I only need FAT32 partitions for DOS games since the "DOS" you can boot to under 98 can handle it, but if I ever need to boot to an earlier version of DOS off diskettes or whatever, I'll need a FAT16 partition to access anything?

it's been decades but cant you install multiple command.com's or whatever and pick em off a boot menu if you start with dos 6.22? Or is that only for strictly dos systems and won't work with the win98 setup?

i am just gonna quote this into this thread because i am super looking forward to it and no one will find it in the hellworld thread.

for those who are interested, you can get ut2k4 on GOG for 10 bucks

and you should install this mutator (jonny please put it on the server too) to fix the fov and weapon models for modern widescreens, i have tested it and it works great. skip the XGame.u part, which is only needed for the single player ladder and will probably break client validation.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/sx2bs625jhhc6kd/WidescreenFixMod.zip/file


works and looks great for me with setratio 3440x1440 and setfov 100.

ty for all this great info

we just had a private intro sesh, notes:

* lol it just runs at 500 fps. all. the. time. it's GREAT
* i will install the widescreen mutator
* I can't figure out how to get votemap going so I may just go for https://forums.beyondunreal.com/threads/mapmixer-2-20-botmixer-1-00-released.153273/
* the ded server allows you to specify an http redirect for assets, so, of course, now Fastly is CDNing whatever random assets and mutators you'll download on load. LOL
* i thought i was really bad these days but i held my own and the translocator and flak cannon memory muscles are coming back

We will plan to play more tomorrow! I will post the server info then. tonight i'm going to be breaking it 10,000 times trying to install poo poo so no use playing
