Yes! In another test, I could not get a Dell Venue 10 5055 to run EQ at more than like 5 fps.

I submitted a one sentence response to the second part of the survey. I also expect a cursory glance at best.

Bilbo Backpackens replied to the thread EQ Survey Thoughts.

Link is now reporting that the "survey is complete." So it was up for what, 3 days? Hope you got in while you could. I'm guessing...

Bilbo Backpackens replied to the thread Old Hardware - My Experience With EverQuest DX11.

Had a similar, though I guess opposite, experience to Zilendar. On my old graphics card, an RX 580, I ran into almost no issues after the...

Bilbo Backpackens liked Zilendar's post in the thread Old Hardware - My Experience With EverQuest DX11.

How do you plan to make clerics more fun to play outside of raids? Group content is not engaging enough, and soloing is not an option. They...

Bilbo Backpackens liked ieaien_bertox's post in the thread It’s the Year of Darkpaw AMA time!.

Is there any reason that druid requests for better mana recuperation seems to fall on deaf ears?

Bilbo Backpackens liked unoplank's post in the thread It’s the Year of Darkpaw AMA time!.

Our server has recently been invaded with players automating their grinding in xp zones for several hours per day. They seem to be...

NM, I can Google. Ignore this.

Bilbo Backpackens replied to the thread Fixed Internally Mercs losing buffs when they level.

Bilbo Backpackens liked Brontus's post in the thread What's Darkpaw's Official Position on Class Balance?.

That's not an argument. You're hyperbolic reply is in effect letting Daybreak off the hook and trying to absolve them of any...

Bilbo Backpackens liked coltongrundy's post in the thread What's Darkpaw's Official Position on Class Balance?.

This is a game. It's for entertainment. It is not an analogy for life, and that is not a good reason to not improve balance.

Bilbo Backpackens replied to the thread Fixed Goblin Gender.

EverQuest has been pretty progressive for years. Just like %t gives you a target's name, %s will give you their preferred gender.
