I love how every thread relating to Sam reaches at least 10 pages! :P
Hey Prepared, Were you able to do the PVP dailies in Grizzly hills with a raid? If you can I bet that is your fastest way to level all your characters together. The reason i think it is a possibility is you don't get exp when you kill the mobs, but you do for the quest turn in. You could try it with your 6. Just a thought.
Just a quick counter-point. You can't do the booterang quest when in a raid and you get no xp for hitting the peons; so, that's not necessarily an indicator. You just don't get any credit when you hit the peons. I spent a looooong time trying to figure out wtf was going on one night some time ago. I then realized I was still in a raid from the previous night.Quote:

I'm still curious about the Grizzy Hills quests; you should also be able to test it with any group size: just convert to raid.
Sam has a point, though. If I am not mistaken, the Sullon Zek server in EQ was free-for-all PvP. This meant that anyone of any level could gank you just about anywhere, once you were level 6. This includes your own faction and even your own race. If they could get you to die to a mob you wouldn't lose durability... you would lose experience after level 10 or 11, and leveling in EQ was painful enough without that. A person who ganked you could loot your coin and one equipped item, as well. And there was no spirit res-- when you died, you appeared at your spawn point (what would be your hearthstone location in WoW) with none of your items or money, which were still on your corpse. You had to get to your corpse and loot your items and money. "Corpse-camping" in Everquest takes on a very different meaning than it does in WoW.Quote:

In WoW what he loses is a bit of coin, by comparison. Being ganked may cost him a lot of lost time, but it simply isn't as painful as it would've been in EQ. You can certainly make his life extremely miserable if someone is always online when he tries to play, but you've got to do more than gank him a few times to make it worse than it was in EQ.
i would deathgrip his characters one at a time until he realizes he's missing a few. then i'll mount up and outrun him. just for fun sam. just for fun. =]

I hope whoever does all of this remembers to FRAPS it. :P
Seeing how Sam is apparently immune to all of the hate posts, i'm pretty sure you guys will be tired of ganking him before he even gets anywhere near annoyed with it.
So? It'll still be a shitload of fun for us.
Getting to max level in EQ was a peice of piss if you weren't totally retarded. If it takes over 36 hours played then you are officially dumb.
Thread is coming up on 24 hours old and still no one has posted a Screenshot of a dead Sam. I'm very disappointed.
If his guys are in the mid 30s now, time is running out before they reach L50 or so and become a contender for a 5xFreshie DK team. Hurry now, don't wait until 2011 for him to get there!
he plays when i sleep. what the heck can i do really?Quote:

I doubt he's got into the 'advanced' Multiboxing topics yet.Quote:

Waiting for the all the patch stuff to cool down, moving 8 toons to different accounts ($200 lol), and installing 4 more motherboards. And have to see about the macaroon workarounds ... So it will be like 4 days before you can try and kill me.
I never play for a few days after a major patch, we all know its going to be haphazard for awhile, as ususal.
I gotta really laugh at this plan. You gonna try and scare a guy who played the harder game on a WAY WAY WAY harder server and has been ganked 100 times more then what you are planing and still won?

I was just going to kill you a few times and move on but it sounds like you are making it a challenge. You aren't making it a challenge are you? The fact you didn't realize you could be graveyard camped leads me to believe you have no clue what you are asking for.Quote:

You keep saying how hard EQ was and that you "won" and all that. You didn't even get to the level limit and from what I have seen of EQ most of the encounters are tank and spank.
It doesn't matter. Sam has won this thread. I'll hand it to him, he's probably not the one that knows all the classes in and out, nor does he seem to be a copycat of sorts (i don't count prepared / sam as copying eachother, as they're both quite unique) - and no matter how hard you all try, labeling him as giving multiboxing a bad name, it still can't avoid the fact that he's vocal about what he does, and he seems to be having fun doing it.
seems to some, that ruining the fun for others is the best fun they themselves can have. i wish i could be a fly on the wall one day, watching the symphony which is making over two dozen characters work in unison.
peace.

You both win the internetz!!! Thanks for the laugh. :PQuote:

Most of the high end raids in EQ are FAR from tank and spank, I'd rate them as more difficult than WoW has to offer. Its true, Sam did take down the 'hardest' mob in the game, unfortunately, by the time he did it, the level cap had been raised and his toons were much higher than the encounter was designed for, so it was no longer the 'hardest' mob in the game.Quote:

All of Sams claims about his total superiority in EQ are pretty much bullshit, or taken completely out of context, I have no problem translating them so its easier for WoW players to understand the rediculous context in which he makes these claims.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have better things to do than go whip Sam's ass up and down where ever he happens to be just for shits and giggles. Not to mention the complexities of figuring out his play schedule. Dude doesn't seem to actually log in more than a few times a week, as far as I can tell.
It has nothing to do with scaring you, Sam. You've clearly proven to the community that you have tough skin and are immune to taunts, jabs, ridicule, scare tactics, or even downright reason.Quote:

I'd just like to see you in-person in the game. As much as I think you're jousting at windmills with your endeavor, it would still be fun to see and take my own screenshot.
A screenshot of 26 corpses would be even better, though. Let us know when you are done patching and doing character transfers to cover up for mistakes you shouldn't have made if you hadn't listened to us!
Did I "win" EQ;

If I'm not (well was before SoD expansion, but man with 24 cleric mercenaries I would be invincible in pvp) top dog, who is and why?
Two computers are rebuilt, working on the software stuffs tonight. Two more to go, but waiting on of all things those cpu heat sink clamp down things (my big typhoons are to old to have them so I have to order some cheap junk sinks to the get am2 clamp down thing). Still I might be able to log in when the software stable (rerigerstering windows after the MB change now). If my new MB's get the high memory bandwidth and improve FPS a ton as I expect Ill have a new post on it.
Not trying to be critical here Sam, nor am I wanting to rain on your parade, but in a MMO where there is supposedly "no end", how do you figure you won a game that didn't have an ending? Correct me if I'm wrong, but beating all the end game content doesn't make someone the winner of a game that doesn't have an end, right? I mean, was there a race to see who finished everything first, or had the most of everything? I never played the game so I don't know.
How do you beat something which has no end? :D
Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a tendency to stay away from your threads, so if this has been asked and answered before just ignore this.
edit: I'll give you one thing Sam, and this is no bullshit; you have the toughest goddamn skin I have ever seen! I'm serious bout that.
He didnt beat all the end game content. Nothing like...
You beat others by having the ability to beat them in pvp (all they have vs. all you have) OR you kill a stonger mob with all you have vs. all they have. Thats the only two accurate measurement. PvP is ususaly not possible due to different servers and what not so who can solo the stongest mob with characters on accounts they own (and leveled up themselves) and playing as many accounts that they own as they can at the same time. Others can raid and get raid items to improve their toons but if all that gear dosn't let them kill a stonger mob then I can kill then well I guess Im better.
You never beat the game as there is always more to do but you do beat other individual players.
Of course I stoped about July of 2008, I am sure that I will be passed up as time goes on. But as of July 2008, I consider myself the best. And some others on that thread do also.
And no matter, I think we can all agree that I am the best known EQ1 player at any rate. The only other two might be Fansy or Furor and they are gone into the dustbin of history while I am still around.
Again if you are of the opinion some other single person did better in EQ1 then me, say who they are and why. That thread was a sticky for many months and anyone who wanted to claim whatever they wished were free to do so.
To be honest I think that what the problem with Wilber and others have with me is that I have accomplished vertutually nothing in WoW and yet I am better known, and more famous, already then others who have done 100 times more in the game than what I have. I do self promote and as a result I get known. Well ...
So, having more toons allows you to kill something that's bigger than what a solo player can kill. Okay.
With that said, and again, I'm not trying to call you out or anything, but by having more toons and paying more money than anybody else, means you bought your winning status, right? You have more accounts which you purchased just so you can have more toons than everybody else, right. Head to head, you purchased your win right?
No offense, but a lot of folks would consider that cheating, and thus nullifying anything won.
I'm not saying anything...
I'm just saying... /shrug
ummm... Yamio... you just echo'd what i hear from solo players whenever they see my 5xbox roll into town
I think this sums up, to me, why I dislike Sam's approach so much.Quote:

I despise people who flap their mouths and talk themselves up, and it's even worse when they say that they're better than everybody.
The tone that comes across is 'I'm better than you' and that sort of attitude makes for few friends, especially when it's only backed up with words.
Fame comes only when deserved.
Shush Keyclone. I'm not talking about us. I'm taking about Sam.
u no derail thread :whistling:
The difference is you are (hopefully) not going around telling everyone you are better then they are because you have more accounts in a video game. Sam on the other hand does so regularly which opens him up to this kind of scrutiny.Quote:

Who the hell even knows who you are outside of your annoying forum persona? All you really did was put up a big sign and yell "look at me", which any forum troll can do for a fraction of the money. The naked cowboy is far more entertaining and awesome. Kudos on being able to brute force your way through trivial content of a dead game. I'm sure for years to come we'll hear tales of the mighty death walker and his... what did he do again? Seriously, all I hear about you having ever done is having a large number of characters and having prostitutes hold up signs in your computer-based Josef Fritzl style dungeon while you pranced around in a diaper. The only thing I really see you actually winning at is the competition to see who can throw the most money at something, but even then, there are people out there beating you.
Sad thing is, I'm one of the people actually interested in reading your inane attempts at leveling, if only as an observation in to the cost/benefits of leveling large numbers of characters. I'm all for doing what you want to do, but sanctimoniously declaring yourself the winner of some imaginary contest? Sorry, but that's the point I hop off the "let Sam do what he wants" platform and jump on the "go fornicate yourself with a red hot poker" train.
When and if the Yankees win the baseball chapionship are you gonna say they are not the best because they "bought" their way to the top?
When the guy who wins the Indy 500 does it because his team spent more money then his competitors you will claim he isn't the best because he "bought" his way to the top?
Everyone is free to spend as much money as they wish on EQ or WoW, I don't prevent others from multiboxing. Its not magic if I can do it so can anyone. If its "cheating" then have Blizzard ban my accounts. Also as you saw from the EQ thread none claimed I was cheating. Contray to what some others have accomplished.
Thats like claiming you are the best golfer in the world because IF you put in as many hours playing as Tiger Woods you would beat him. Do it and then make your claim.
So what you are the superior player because you have fewer accounts, and you kill weaker mobs, and you play fewer hours?
Again if someone beat me in EQ please give their name, and why you feel they are better then I am at EQ. If someone else is so clearly better then I am why has none mentioned his name yet?
Ya its bragging but what am I supposed to say. Oh ya soandso is way better then I am cuase he put in less money and fewer hours played into the game? Lets not forget if you total the hours played on all my guys I probably also beat anyone by that measure as well.

Its just silly you cling so vehemenently to this conept that someone "wins" in an MMO though. There aren't even clearly established rules or victory conditions. All you do is continually brow beat this concept that because you spent money, you've won.
Which proves exactly my point, thank you. Its all a bunch of forum banter, generic pages, or your own posts. So yeah, golf clap. You accomplished something by holding up a sign and shouting. You didn't need a bunch of computers to do that, ironically.Quote:

To use your sports analogy further -- yes, the Phillies won in 2008 because its clearly established in baseball that whoever wins the world series is THE WINNER! In Wow there are three clear categories of winners:
1. 5v5 arena. The higher your arena ranking, the better at PVP you are. Feel free to level to 80 and dominate in 5v5 arenas Sam.
2. PVE. whether its 5 man heroics, 10 man raids, or 25 man raids multiboxers who can clear this content "win" the PVE game.
3. Achievement Points. Gotta have em all!
Blizzard is going to release some stuff that will allow more clear winners in battlegrounds as well, right now there really aren't any -- you win a match, you lose a match, it doesn't really matter you still get "something" positive and theres no real viable ranking. Battlegrounds/Wintergrasp currently are just a way to earn honor/marks/etc so you can get gear so you can compete in arena. Yes, you can treat each as the end-game, but there is no real way to "keep score" in those things, since the teams are so large and the difference between winning/losing so minor.
Yes, for fun its awesome to go say I solo'd Onyxia (a level 60 raid boss) or I multiboxed Zul'Aman (a level 70 raid instance) or I did OVER 9000 DPS on this one mob over here, but those are all just "minor stats", they are not categories that are in competition.
What 9000 no way!
they always have... then again, i'm originally from Boston, so i might be a bit biasedQuote:
