Subject: RE: [eqbards] Newbie Bard needs hunting suggestions


Something wrong with a PII 200 with 64 MB RAM? Heh heh. (Evulia tosses a
few more copper into a pig-shaped container crafted by a master potter and
inscribed with the words "New toys! Must have new toys!!") Funny you
should mention it though, because I DO have a TNT Ultra 2 w/ 32 SDRAM. That
was my most recent upgrade.

FWIW on Tunare and excluding Kunark, Blackburrow is the laggiest low-level
zone in the game. I've never played there without hearing at least one
player comment on it. I've spent less time in Crushbone but I suspect it is
a close second. Both areas are comparable to Freeport bank and the gates of
Qeynos.

As for Kunark, I played an Iksar only up to level 2 1/2, but IIRC Cabalis
was fine and Field of Bone was about the same as Blackburrow. Perhaps
that's why I stopped after 2 1/2 levels.

Peace
Evulia, the only bard in Norrath with "/g Wait up!" hotkeyed
