I've had experience with all three. Mumble is the newest, and although TeamSpeak (and probably Ventrilo) have been improved, I preferred Mumble. It just seemed a bit easier to set up, and the...

It is indeed sad. Take care of yourself Uther.
Looking for the Emerald Dial?

If it may also have been me you were referring to Peaches, I still sub, and stick my head, ever more rarely, ingame and into the forums.
It does give one pause for reflection that so many...
The haunting New Trismus music, lamenting the cataclysm that brought about Istaria as we now know it...
During beta, AE made a concerted :) effort to make "substantial" music, as opposed to the...
May the beloved Dancer awake anon, recloaked in her aura of good will; even if, upon awakening, her autumnal energies glow less brilliant, may they be everlasting.
Ah, how much is forgotten. Long, long ago, I saw that Horizons was coming, and figured I'd better learn about these MMORPG thingies beforehand, so I played EQ. (I'd been playing Diablo II, lotsa...
The Massively MMO site has a nice little notice about the current patch.

Unemployed, yes, but loser??? NEVER! And congratulations on the funding.
A partial answer to some of your questions. I expect others will add to my thoughts ;). I played in early beta, and stayed through rating 132; a ranger, with spiritist, cleric, etc. I've certainly...
IIRC, there were lower level anchors when they were first introduced. If they were reintroduced, spawning perhaps twice? a week, the higher level players might eventually get bored, and leave them...
ATI/AMD Radeon 4850, will upgrade next generation to 6870(??).
Would it be too ambitious to allow one of the satyr islands to be truly liberated? Perhaps a low resource method would be to slow the mob respawn times, and then if enough of the beastlies were...
I'm reminded of the Lesser Aradoth iron and silver fields that used to be above Parsinia. You usually came up from Kion, past a very nice little gem hut and mini-field. Quite a bit of iron, silver,...
Given the care with which resources are expended these days, I'm sure the proposal is not raised on a whim; but it would help if the specific problems that this is intended to solve were explained.
Some of my strongest and warmest memories are from being honored by a hatchling who requested my ROP assistance.
The group would set out, perhaps this time to fight our way down the spiral to...
Well, when you put it that way, it's quite a nifty idea... :)
It would be nice if a variant of the teleport spell could be used to gather members of a hunting party. Perhaps improved group assembly speed would encourage more group hunting?
Nice pix, thnx bai :D.
The last one is particularly intriguing. Where and when?
A coupla guesses; from beta, in one of the earlier terrain configurations around the Blight Fortress, (The...
The ones I remember are Chiconis, Dalimond, Sslanis, and Bristugo.
Just a small appreciation of the downtime announcement. Factual, direct, well done.
It's also nice to see the preplanning and preparatory testing, and the resulting shift in plans in response...
Is the loyalty tokens source now ingame?
What I see as the big news, is not the downtime, it's the reason. New hardware! AFAIK, (not a lot, admittedly, but what the hey) Istaria has been running on the same hardware since the merge. ...
It is very nice indeed to hear of both Ssil and Seph, both of whom have added an inimitable flavor to Istaria. Sounding out Ssilmath's sibilances, and "oh now I get it" were an unforgettable part of...
I do agree with Knossos.
Raids that destroy real property is an idea that has surfaced and been rejected ever since beta. With good reason.
The raids were fun, even if non-destructive; they...
