lol gnobrin there are soo many things i could say but i might get in trouble<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" width="15" height="15" /> i think its taken me 3 years to realize this is the absolute best game ever made for pve environment. its truely unmatched (being serious) for pve. i think alot of others will realize this soon also. when it comes to pve....all hands down...no game can top this.however if you have time ya might wanna check out the pvp forums, some rather interesting posts have popped up there in the last few days that some could consider a learning experience as in the community is starting to accept we hope and pray you guys are considering changes for that type of gameplay..for the well-being of the future of the pvp servers.edit; gnobrin im gonna take a shot in the dark and hope that maybe you might read this post and if you have time ill refer you to the post id like to you review...its called "you guys should read this..." and its not a lot of flaming and immature acts this time. everybody has been mature and really brought up some interesting points...some players have taken alot of time and written some pretty long replies...so maybe more than a "few" minutes will be needed lol.

Not too sure if it is recent or I'm blind, but you can sort quests by level in quest journal now.. Just figured that out today. Best /blush moment ever was after 18 months of playing, realizing that you could click the button at eq1's kelethin and the life would work.. it wasn't random )Most of all I have learned that even tho it is *just a game* there are real people on the otherside of those chara's and sometimes if you are lucky true friendship and/or love can come from it.

The resulting old school 3-d effect is rather horrifying.What I learned early on in EQ1 and continue to learn every few levels in EQ2... a level ding or AA ding in a dead quiet room can be rather startling (even if you were expecting it).What I learned a few days ago, the non-quest-giver halfling sentries and deputies in EL are charmable and rather handy at killing various things around EL for a mid 30s arasai coercer. My fav thing about coercer is making the unusual pet. Making goody-goody halflings go fight for my not so goody-goody coercer gives me a sense of satisfaction from all the EQ1 kill-stealing deputies I had to deal with so long ago.

I try not to `gank` as most call it and typically solo. Many times I've passed up targets because they were in midst of battle. I sit, cheer and wait. I bow and if they attack it's game on but if they run I let them be. I'm sure I've freaked out enough freeps over the past months doing that, just showing up and not doing anything. Alas tho lets not railroad the thread on issues with pvp.Still trying to think of things I've just learned.

Well I started up 2 weeks after EQ2 went live and the latest things I've learned was the /weapon stats command and that you can Alt click just about anything, even some items linked in chat, or someone's gear when you inspect them just to see how they look.

The most recent thing I learned was not playing your Guard for a month does not make for a fun night in Unrest. Besides that, I think it would have to be you can type /waypoint then type a loc and set a waypoint. Let me tell you how great that can be for a non scout!

Although I vaguely recall reading about a new mode of faster travel in Zek from a Game update, imagine my suprise when I finished a quest for a NPC called something like Oarwille Wright, and then clicked on the catapult next to him that was suddenly glowing and I was catapulted all the way from the zone in fort to deathfist citadel. Dark elves just aren't meant to fly )Put a dwarf in that catapult and maybe I can charge admission!

I just learned today that you can move things around in your knowledge book. WHAT?!

(I know I can drag them onto my hotbars, but I enjoy the whack-a-mole clicking and keeping my left hand free for drinking/smoking/punching my boyfriend) Reorganizing my spells & skills has brought me much (nerdy) joy!

I've only been playing for 10 months but I've learned a lot of things just from reading this thread today. A few days ago I learned about using the mouse wheel while holding ctl or alt while placing things in your house allows smaller increments in turning items and placing them. It sure makes getting a book lined up just right on the bookshelf much easier.

Note: I learned afterward that each 50 items takes up a slot within the crate. That is: 200 carbonite clusters will still use up 4 slots in your crate, but they will be stacked together for ease of selling.SCSeparate unverified learn: For L&L items. You should get all of the non-item updates before you start examining the item-updateable things. Seems to get all updates quicker.

My 2cp to this thread:You can see everyone on-line in a specific guild by using the /who command and double quotes around the guild name. This works especially well for guild names composed of two or more commonly used words.For example, to see where all of the characters currently on-line in the guild "Angry Munchkins" are enter:/who "angry munchkins" allThis is very useful for learning where a rival guild is gathering for contested mobs. . .

I have been played EQ2 for 2.5 years. Listed below are what I have learned:1. Don't mind to get hands dirty if I want some coins. ---> I have learned it from the previous version of the Artisan systems. And if I want more in-come in my real life, I should be more active in my current job.2. I finally knew that my playing style was not of healers. And to my surprise, it is more like of coercers. I think it should be the best self-learning that playing EQ2 could give.I thought I was a healer through and through. However, after I have played a mystic up to level 70 with much depressed feeling, an assassin up to level 43, a coercer up to level 18, a swashy and a guardian up to 22, and a monk up to level 14. Then I came back to give the coercer another try and then there was a "click!" So now I probably stick to psychic-control roles in EQ2 and also other games. And I also recognize my controlling nature, which has been denied and masked with kindness and care before.

I have been playing for under a year and I just realized (repost from the tradeskill forum since I am too lazy to think up something rightnow)RNG - EQ2 is actually using a hash created from various part of your DNA sequence along with what the index number of your character as a seed value. They then use an entropy value based on your brain scan* which is gathered from a spy satellite network that was launched by SoE in 1999-2001. These values along with a value range are then sent** to a super computer that was build on the surface of mars by an unknown race. Here the data is plugged into an algorithm that would take days to calculate on a "normal" PC. This super computer then outputs the resulting number and transmits it back to EQ2 game servers. (* This brain scan is also used to determine exactly what you are looking for in the game and it dynamically reduces the chance of this goal from being achieved)(** The transmission method is currently classified by the US government but it is designed to bypass normal physics so that the data transition happens in under 1ns)

Well this goes back to EQ1 but, I had played it for maybe 4 to 5 years at the time and one day I was sitting there bored. Mind you I was a druid and loved kelethin and Tunare and everything about it (wouldn't even kill anything in Plane of Growth). Suddenly I realized, for no apparent reason, that Tunare was an anagram of *nature*! Doh! I felt so dumb LOLOf course I had always heard about the Qeynos/SonyEQ thing but the Tunare bit just eluded my grasp I guess <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" />

I've been playing for over 3 years now and I just realized that Runnyeye and Splitpaw need a merge. Ii's really hard to get a group these days. Kind of miss the old days. I also foresee this to become a greater problem with another 10 levels added.

I've been playing for over 3 years and I just realized . . . that people who talk about their characters in 3rd person annoy me for some reason. Things like "my wizard likes to do this" or "my monk likes to wear that" seem very strange to me since YOUR the one that is controlling the character. Its like your just sitting back watching the game while your character has a mind of their own, doing their own thing. Is this a form of roleplaying or something? Don't mean to offend anyone that does this by the way.

Most recently I learned there was a back way down to FTH. The number one thing I learned in an MMO was about a year into playing SWG when I found out there was an auto run button. I played from a week or so after launch through the first mount release and the second mount release using a Shot Glass carefully placed on the up arrow key. This is now the first thing I look for on the controls when I try a new MMO.

I have been playing EQ2 since day one and Eq1 since well, the dawn of time (eq time that is). After ALL this time (8 years) that I use A LOT of stuff most people dont seem to know about.So far in this thread I didnt find a single thing I didnt know.HOWEVER not to appear an EQ genius, I will admit that in EQ1 I went MONTHS without knowing what the pedastal books were for and why people disappeared around them. I ran from zone to zone, sometimes across multiple zones only to be told one day that I was an idiot when I asked how people to got different places so fast. Needless to say I had for months not realized there was an expansion that would let me use to those books to go to the plane of knowledge(and beyond). Once I found that, I was in heaven.EQ2 well I am sure there are alot of things left to learn, but-- Some fun ones to point out if people have never used them - In WFP trying to go to the common lands - Don't run all the way up to the gate, jump in the big hole in the executioners plaza, it zones you out to CL.(someone mentioned the DFC catapult)Trying to get to the spires? It's faster to ride the griffons and jump off then it is to run all the way to them, even at the 54% bard speed.Someone mentioned the /who command (I learned this one in EQ1) it has ALOT of variety to it for example -/who all priest (shows you all healer types that aren't on anonymous)/who all fighter 70 (shows you all level 70 fighters)/who all 65 70 lfg (shows you all people between 65 and 70 who have the LFG flag up)/who all bruiser 60 70 (shows you all bruisers between 60 and 70)/who all dwarf (shows you all the dwarves)/who all dwarf bruiser 70 (shows you all the level 70 dwarf bruisers, not that there would be any)Another few helpful commands for beginners or with lots of alts - /camp desktop (camp totally out of the game)/camp charactername (camp to another one of your toons without going to character select)A useful one for everyone -/quit desktop (exits the game without camping, not recommended unless you are playing at work and your boss walks in /giggle)And last but not least - When climbing down a long wall, you can ~repel~ down it by pushing jump and then walking forward again. It lets go, you fall a bit and then it grabs on again. Try it in third person when you are facing the wall (ie looking at the back of your head).

Those walls are sticky and this fact has saved my (character's) life more than once. Some spots on walls in the Mistmoore Catacombs or the Estate of Unrest, for example, have slippery spots where you will lose your grip and fall backward. Just moving forward -- towards the wall -- will allow you to stop yourself before you splat.

Ok, ok, I finally found one over the weekend I didnt know.While repairing after a hefty day of adventuring, I realized that I didnt have enough money on my toon to repair completely (a sad first). Someone was playing with me and said well how much is it, I said I dunno, let me add it up. They pointed out that if you hover the mouse over the ~REPAIR ALL~ button it gives you a total. I had always just clicked the repair all too fast for the info to show up. I guess being rich can mean you are stupid?

Aka noob zones (sooory)That Damage Rating doesn't mean anything and anybody that think it's a good way to compare weapon should /delete his character.That lots of people thinks that Damage Rating is THE way to compare weapon.That bots are alll over the place in DoF, Ools, etc.That people have no clue how to play their class at lvl 70...That there's no "Save" button (Hello 45mins of wasted time the first night...)THAT THE FRENCH CHAT ON THE LAUNCHPAD IS DOWN FOR 2 YEARS CAUSE THERE'S NEVER ANY MODERATOR ON!!^^^^ That really sucks....I'm done for the moment!Other than that, Good stuff!(Give swash their EoF Inspiration AA back to 15sec per rank!)

I just realized that some bugs don't get fixed no matter how many times you report them. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I still have my eyes down at the throat on my dark elf with the 1st person camera. Really sucks to stare people I'm taller than in the chest when I look straight forward. Can you say immersion killer?

Are you from Qeynos and it takes you 6 years to get to BBM? If so go to Sinking Sands and right-click the carpet when zoning in. From here you can go to the BBM docks. This also works for FP to Neriak as well.

Some others:"Alliz Evol Ew" backwards is "We love Zilla." And Zilla is their god, so. . . "We love (God)zilla"Felwithe = "White Elf"Ec'i = Ice***This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the old forums there was a several hundred posts long thread about the anagrams. And someone also screenie'd a lot of the in-game text then converted them to the Roman alphabet that we use. In Maj'Dul the writing on the obelisks by the sultan's palace is a listing of laws for the city. Some text was found to be some of the devs ripping on each other. Some text even said "This is just placeholder text." Was pretty fun thread. Wish it hadn't been munched in the forum move.

I remember how surprised I was when I found the secret passage to North Qeynos from Qeynos Harbor. It is amazing what you can find when you are waiting on someone <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

If you jump up on the far left window ledge of the building that houses the mendor in QH you can eventually work you way up, and over, the building. There is a door back there that will zone you in near the mage tower in SQ.

It's the same as a plain old /who, but quicker. I imagine it'd be useful for PvP (but those guys probably have a macro button anyways).

As a Conj I only ever bothered about INT.(Only good for swapping gear out for raids really, but using wisdom potions/food/drink to give that little extra boost to resists makes sense.)

Some of my characters share a room at the inn in West Freeport which they access by entering the zone from Commonlands and taking the shortcut round to the right past the grille to Thieves Alley. They then often then run through other Freeport zones for various reasons.I only discovered last night that the grille to Thieves Alley takes you into a chamber where there are exits to all the Freeport zones, ie North, South, East and West - with the result that a lot of the running through those zones can be avoided.

What have I learned ...Never get used to anything ... it changes/gets brokenA Templar can't solo for beans (miss my cleric from EQ1)Have a wizard friend (saves on running time with ports and nukes the **** outta things)No matter how fast/slow you level, content will either be out of your range or you'll be way past the zone.When you want a mob it's never there, when you aren't there .. it is.That sometimes surfing the forums really aren't worth it ... except certain times (such as after patches) for pure unadulterated entertainment.
