    Checking in

    Hi just saying hello; it's more than 3 years since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer but still here and cancer free touch wood. Zoroth is still around as well but his wife wasn't so lucky and she succumbed to a very rare duodenal type of cancer. Was wondering whether some of my old mates were...

    Maybe a final goodbye

    Haven't played for several years but do occasionally log in to see a much depleted game. Came to Shards after playing EQ2 for a month for the princely price of £1. Played Shards for 6 years but Euro base became so depleted that after the fifth or so guild folded I went to playing EQ1 and...

    In praise of instances

    I don't know if the server could actually support instances but as I believe they are possible with the new client I would urge you to consider implementing them. At the moment it isn't as big an issue as in the past but the competition for some targets such as the Vah Quests and T9+ did at...

    Improving Server Numbers

    Really think you need to look at this question more radically. Personally, I think this is a superb game but by my reckoning the question that needs to be answered is: How do we recruit and RETAIN enough new players to maintain and increase server numbers? Recruitment drives are fine but it...

    CPU overheating?

    A short while ago I reinstalled AI suite on my Asus Board I also reinstalled SoD using the Sony download in an attempt to defeat the crashing bug which seems to selectively affect players. For the past few weeks AI has been alerting me to high CPU temperatures when boxing. 72-74C. I know...

    Competition and Instancing

    At the moment the competition at Tier 11/12 is so intense it is making the game unpleasent and the rivalries are cut-throat and sometimes it gets quite nasty. Yesterday we pipped a guild for abyss by literally seconds while another guild camped a 6-man for 2 hours before the spawn counter...

    Rohk page farming group

    Are there any people with the book willing to spend a rather large amount of time farming the pages or others willing to kill the god-forsaken Rohk trash. Will obviously share any pages that drop with anybody in the group who has book until we all have the 10 needed. Need to be T10+ equipped...

    Rohk, Citadel and other similar augs

    I had been told that Rohk augs could be petitoned if you removed them from an item but when I did remove one and it poofed I was told it was not a quested item and therefore could not be replaced. Just to be sure, is that correct? What is the situation for the Eye of the Citadel as again...

    Mermaid Scale Drop Rate

    Any chance of improving the drop rate of scales and reducing rate of enchanted pearls in return. Have been trying to sell robes of flowing water at 1200 but current drop rate means it's just not economic. I seem to be the only person even bothering to make them these days but the last few...

    Windows 8

    Tried out Windows 8: jeez what a crap system. Be warned existing EqW didn't work My install lasted a goood 20 mins before I reformatted my SSD and reloaded Win 7 if I want a Tablet OS i'll get a Tablet Just a heads up that Win8 could be big trouble for SoD

    Transparency

    Over the past few months competition at the highest end has been ferocious and there were several incidents that caused a great deal of controversy. There have also been several nerfs that have caused some unhappiness. Now that the dust has at least partially settled it might be a good...

    Athica Banker Hit Points

    Think this has been suggested before but is it possible to give bankers and especially the Athica Bankers a few thousand hit points rather than 100. Every so often press the wrong key or go too far forward and banker attacks and then is killed by riposte. It's no biggie repairing the...

    XPable Charms with reduced price

    Just a suggestion and I don't know how much this is perceived as a problem but at the moment places like Kaesora Library are generally camped by T11+ knights duoing with a healer class or necro or very powerful DPS. Less powerful duos are camping DN, Sorcs Castle/Village and MielC etcetera...

    Minor Tailoring Revamp

    Maybe I'm misperceiving things but it seems that since Ikisith, supply and demand for high end tailored items is very low. Maybe it's time to reposition shadow silk and imp hide prices. Not a high priority but wouldn't take a lot of work. Price of both is determined by violet ointment...

    Soloing at lower levels

    This is obviously just a suggestion for discussion but wonder if it has some merit. At the moment it is very easy to solo the first 10 levels but it becomes progressively more difficult between 11-20 after which it become near impossible for some classes such as warriors without twinkage. I...

    Vah, Sagacity and HF

    Are any people interested in starting a regular raid group to farm Artifacts and Vah quest pieces. The idea is that we would monitor the key targets and take it in turn to get help. I would envisage people being minimum T7 and that the group would be 10-12 strong with boxes welcome. I have...

    Donator Issues

    Couple of Suggestions, only suggestions so please don't get aerated if you don't like. First, gap between Gold and Platinum too big why not have an intermediate level at say $15-$20 or so which would correspond to actual cost of commercial MMO People who donate generally have jobs and thus...

    Ventrilo Push to Talk

    About 6 months ago I upgraded to winodws 7 32 bit without any major problem apart from some distortion of fonts. 3-4 months ago I had to change my motherboard and Push to Talk on Ventrilo would work while the window was up but as soon I was in game nobody could hear me. I sort of cludged a...

    More mid tier 6 and 12 man content

    I understand that Iki2 will have more 6 man and 12 man content but would make a plea that you consider setting quite a lot of this to fill the hole between Tier 3/4 and Tier 6/7. My reason for suggesting this is that at the moment High Tier Guild raiding is in decline and many of the High...

    Bloodied Quarry Slave Faction

    Any chance of getting positive slave faction when you kill guards and possibly other select mobs such as slave-breakers. Would seem logical
