I'm thinking about starting up Everquest

[westben2002]

I"ve been listening to the show a lot, and I kinda want to check everquest or world of warcraft out. my desktop is basically a piece of shit to run it....so if anyone out there can give me the specs on what things i should have in my computer. Like video cards, speakers, monitors...even the brand of computer I should get.

thanks guys

I've been checking them out this past week and seem pretty reasonably priced. Depending on what my pc total comes to, I might end up going with them cause it'd save my lazy ass some time...

building your own isn't hard. read the instructions on the mobo. and for wow you don't need an insane machine to run it.

I have AMD 1.39 ghz processor and 640 MB Ram on my computer. And a dogshit video card to top it off. I run WoW..... well.... fine enough to play. I normally play really late at night though so it helps out a little.

regarding starting a mmorpg i would recommend reading this thread..

yea don't ever start a mmorpg if you have a choice.

[saltedpeanus]

Just shoot me a pm if you want help configuring the build. I assume you don't need an amazing machine, but rather want the most bang for your buck.

I would say for video card you can go with an Nvidia 6600 or higher, and for processor an amd 3800+. It all depends on your budget and how much you want, but I'd say you could get a decent one for under $800 easily.

I agree...its like being 40 and taking up smoking....you made it past your teens, keep strong.

Anthony also got into fencing in the 1800's.. doesn't mean you should try.

[westben2002]

haha, ok guys you convinced me.....i guess i'll go 'pro-life' on this issue....still, the whole concept seems really cool too me.

i guess i'll stick to my FPS

Dude... don't listen to us! Geez, ya wanna do it, do it! We're lookin' this way, you're lookin' that way and you got Everquest in the middle sayin' "Hey, whaddya want from me?"

[PestCoast]

Figures... the thread for Evercrack addicts is getting posts at 4am. I feel like I just stumbled into an AA meeting in downtown LA.

I broke my Everquest addiction years ago. Unfortunately, I'm now hooked on WoW.

I just restarted WoW after 6 months. It's nice to have my 43 Warlock waiting and ready to go...

Yes, don't start a mmorpg if you like games. You won't have any time for anything else. If it wasn't for the developers totally fucking up Star Wars Galaxies, I might still be playing that pointless game.

[HockeyHelmet]

I stopped EQ2 for about 6 months and started up again when they came out with pvp.. UGH... played WoW for about 3 days and broke the cd and thru it out.
