    What you need to know about Earthrise:

    1. Completely level and class free skill system with no limitations;
    2. No instances;
    3. Open PvP (Shoot anyone anytime);
    4. All items in game are player crafted; and
    5. Territory Capture system with player owned bases.

    
     

    and if you believe this and take it word for word and expect something 100% different from other games with similar features, i'm sure you will end up being disapointed. Posts like these is what hyped up WAR and AOC, And you can see what happened to them at launch. Saying things like "No limitations" means you are free to do absolutely anything, ofc people will find things that you cant do and the "no limitations" ends up being a lie. Same goes for Open PVP, you didnt mention at all that its like EVE (like there are high security areas, so attacking people = death). And 5 sounds like what they said about AOC.

    And ALL of the features you listed can be shit without good combat, the question you didnt answer.

    EDIT: would also like to say im not a hater and i am looking forward to this game. But posts like yours are what creates trolls on this forum when the game releases.

    Why not a bed?  In a dark room with no windows? And throw in some Air Conditioning.  Just cuz you suck blood don't mean you can't have the finer things in life.

    
     

    its because vampires are dead, and i think its a way of assuring the audience that they are undead and not technically alive.

• • Upgrading Question - Video Cards vs Motherboard and Processor

    I LOL'ed when you said to turn off AA cause it doesn't make a difference... Of course it makes a difference. Especailly if you have a nice monitro to play on.  And if this guy spent the money I imagine he spent on his system, he doesn't want sub-par graphics like the shittly box you are probably playing on.

    lol your makeing fun of my computer now because of a small comment i made .... thats funny. Reread my post, like i said i can run anything on max settings. GG Reading comprehension. And i never noticed a difference with or without AA, you might see it differently, i really dont care.

    Improving his hard drives (2 x10k's)  would increase read speed, this might eliminate the hitching. In ALL of his games, not just EQ2.

    there are plenty of other people running 7200 HDDs and they expirience no hitching.

    I was telling him that EQ2 is a game that runs exclusivley on CPU and that even if he upgraded his cpu, it would have to be a faster clock speed, the number of cores you have doesn't matter because EQ2 doesn not untilze multiple cores. Having a 3.5 Ghz single core would be better than a 2.5 dual core.

    If you want to spend money on a new mobo and cpu for one game-- have fun- but newer games aren't going to need such a workhorse as they usually split the processing between the gpu and cpu. (More-so on the gpu side).  Your grpahic cards are top of the line, no need to upgrade.

    I would imagine the greatest performance gain overall would come from cpu and mobo upgrade but it's going to be really expensive.  And if it doesn't create much noticable difference your going to be blushing.   That's why I would suggest the 10k drives as they are really cheap.  50 bucks a piece I think and a great place to start.

    Turn off AA... noob.

    and in the end you suggest the same thing i did.... gg

     

    EDIT: and i just tested AA in Lineage 2, and noticed ZERO Difference in graphics. I was going from "none" to "x4" and noticed no change in spell graphics or regular running around graphics.

    all-time: toss up between MASH and Family guy.

    Cant believe that many people find the office funny. I barely laugh at all at any of the episodes.

    If you think Family Guy is one of the funniest shows of all time, then I'm not surprised you don't like The Office.  It uses a very dry humor that not everyone will get right away, or even at all.  Steve Carrell is one of the funniest people in comedy right now.  He is brilliant.

    The show uses a style of humor that lets you sit and think about something, and how absurd the things are that happen, due to the realistic style of the show.  They actually develop characters as well, and have real life situations in the show instead of just humor, which is what makes a lot of people like it.  It puts a more human face to the humor, instead of just a show where you don't care about the characters.

    It's not quite a drama comedy like for instance Friends, but not quite slapstick comedy like (IMO), Family Guy.

    
     

    i think i dont find it funny because its not absurd enough. I mean, i work in an office place myself, so i dont see the office as extremely crazy like everyone else does.

    exactly. I didnt look at any instructions online, i just looked at the mobo manual and i was able to build it without any parts being not where they should be.

    @OP i would pick the first one, thats if you dont feel like building one.
