If I ever get around to fixing my home server I'll keep this in mind for a second server setup testing etc , but I'm really liking that I put the main one on a portable machine, though it was done by process of elimination.
I'll have to dig into bridging connections elsewhere and see if it could work here I guess. Doesn't seem like anyone's done it, but it's not all that common. Want to use home network, which is attached to wan via satellite and won't work for hosting elsewhere, and use cell tether for connecting outside. I suppose k should first try playing live with my phone connection first to see if it's even worth trying. Last night I got on live to do some research on missing vendors in pok, then got bombarded with other things bc i was dumb enough to log in on my main toon. Anyway i stayed on til 630am, and our net speed drops to nothing by 615 at the latest, i made the mistake of zoning and got stuck zoning for 15-20 minites unable to use any other tab on my pc except my other ew instance, eqemu lol. Oddly...when it finally finished zoning the game had sat me down, and put up afk lol. Wonder if that's a new feature or something. I hate the autogrant aa feature I found last night though. Anyway i ended up scrounging to get a krono so id have a sub and not lose 800+ AAs just by logging out. 800aas i had earned years ago they refunded doing some rearranging, but then were floating way above storage cap and unspendable without all access acct. Fun stuff. I'm liking more and more being locked in time when I last played, seeing what's come the last few years. My SK mount hotkey was no longer usable as they made it summon a bridle instead of the mount and now I can't multibind my mount and invis as I had always done, one being a clickie the other an AA. Anyway, back to eqemu I am.
Oh and now I understand how old players felt with some newer expand. My level 100 raid gear that made me top sk and 3rd tank overall on the server when I left, was now not even as good as junkdrop tradeable group gear except a tiny bit of focus effects. Ferocity was much high on the group stuff, another effect was now click and become free aa, the heroic stats on this group gear are all in the 2 and 3 digits, and some items even ac blew mine out of the water. And some of these items so common they sold for 2k in the bazaar. So lost.
