Freelance Ramblings / FULA DAY 2013 !
« on: April 02, 2013, 01:47:42 AM »
We all have things that touch our lives each and everyday. One of the most horrifying thing is to have someone taken away from us. A loved One .. a parent , a spouse , a child , a friend. to not have that person there to hold or to talk to.
 
around 1,400 people die to cancer each day. this staggering number shows that no matter who you are , one form of this disease has most likely touched your life.
 
The ONline community wasn't left spared from this truth , Norrath wasn't spared.
 
As much as we all log on to escape real life , or even to reconnect with parts of life that might be more easily found in a game. We have stilled made friends and connections that mean so much to us in life, But the monsters worse then raid mobs found us so easily.
 
On APRIL 2nd 2008 the Fennin Ro server was affected by this monster. As a prominant member of the server the PINK Warrior known as FUlanita had been seen just about everyday for years. Well known for not only the PINK armor and the battle cry of the BEHOLD THE POWER OF PINK> Fula was also known for his want and ability to help others in game. He forged long lasting friendships throughout his EQ carreer.  His passing left a hole on Fennin RO .. hundreds of people on the server chose to go pink to show thier rememberance of FULA and also to show that they to had been affected by Cancer.
 
SINCE THEN WE CHOOSE TO show that same support for everyone that Cancer has touched , For those that fought the battle , FOR those still fighting.
 
SO ON APRIL SECOND .. GO PINK , we want as many people to be showing PINK on the server as we can .. take screen shots and show the love and support the online community has for each and every person who has been touched by Cancer.
 
FOR our LOVERS , CHILDREN , PARENTS, FRIENDS ,
 
cop will be handing out pink dye in the lobby for as much time as possiable tomorrow .. and also during events. you can dye one part or all your armor. get a screen shot list who you are remembering send them to quinaveere@yahoo.com if you can .. we want to show the world THE POWER OF PINK
 
since we started fula day in 2008 if we added up all the pink folks it far excceeds a thousand .. we hope to keep growing that .. people have written me and posted on facebook sharing thier stories of how thier lives were affected by cancer THIS day ISN"T JUST FOR FULA .. it is for everyone touched by this monster .. this is our raid against it .. when folks go pink we donate money .. to the american cancer society send me your pick each one counts post it on our facebook page .. circle of prophets .. also last year i started a thread with piestro about an in game market place item where part of the proceeds go to the american cancer society .. we have seguested a mount or an ornamentation .. a griffon or a sheild would be awesome .. if you like the idea drop him a line so that he can pass the devs on that it has support

In memory of Fulanita , In memory of Zarritar , In memory of Ben , in memory of Natatlie , in memory of Teenie ........... In memory of them ALL

SOE Downtime - May 2, 20116 hours 11 minutes ago by Cyliena

All Sony Online Entertainment services, games, forums and web sites are currently offline. This downtime relates to the recent Playstation Network intrusion. No ETA is available at this time. Here is the notice from Station.com:

Dear valued SOE Customers,

We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. We will provide an update later today (Monday).

During the downtime you are welcome to join us in ZAM's IRC chat. Feldon of EQ2Wire also has set up a ZAM IRC java applet that you can use

This sucks

Freelance Ramblings / new comp from christmas
« on: April 18, 2011, 11:16:12 PM »
Ok guys .. since christmas i have had a bright shinny new comp that i haven't been able to get eq to run on .. wondering if anyone has any ideas

i have made sure the drivers were correct , i have found the files .. i have transfered over once and mirrored from a diff comp .. didnt' work

tried down loading new luancher and getting etn and then trying a 30 hour straight from sony patch didnt' work

tried using my old discs .. and yes we went back to classic eq all the way up to like tbs with dics didnt' work ( would have if that had worked gotten the other expansions from sony download )

i have tried all of these options like three or four times .. now for what it is doing .. at first when i try to get these working it will start the patcher but after a few attempts it wont' even run that ..

computer is a custom built .. but has legit windows seven on it .. which i have tried running in admin , xp , and 2000 mode as well ..

so needing fresh ideas would love to get this baby cooking think it would improve my lag since it wouldnt' be a combo of old computer and bad net .. would just be bad net lol ..

if you have an idea please tell me .. keep in mind i am pretty computer stupid but can be taught give me step by step using venacular lanquage ( spell?) .. if you don't mind please ..

thanks greatful for any ideas .. ps. the techs i have asked have no clue .. and guild ideas have run dry ..

Freelance Ramblings / FULA day april second 2011
« on: March 18, 2011, 03:55:42 AM »
In 2008 our family had a loss as well as the Fennin Ro server. My husband mark brown a.k.a fulanita died of cancer. his cancer hodgkin's lymphoma didn't have a color but Fula loved pink and choose it to represent all cancers. He if you are new to the game or a torvonite like me. had been on the Fennin ro server for a long time and was a very well known player. Fula's death left not only a Hole for cop but a Hole from the server. Hundreds of fennin's Ro's people dressed in Pink to show thier support for thier fallen player. this included whole guilds , and raiding teams.

This year as we plan to again Remmeber Fula on this day and Plan to have armor dye ready for the guild in order for us to all GO PINK this year i wanted to again bring this server wide and perhaps game wide. To use it to remember any loved one , brother , sister , wife , husband , child , and parent that has been lost to Cancer These loses don't just affect real life they touch us even on norrath.

I asked that everyone in support of those who have fallen and those who continue to fight this battle. That we all Show Everquest the POWER OF PINK and go pink. spread it to your friends in game.

Again this is april second. for more information talk to any cop officer. if anyone has more ideas on how we can spread this to game wide please voice them.

i would love to have screen shots of this as well. if you or your friends or other guilds or teams go PINK lets get it on record that day. screen shot up the wazzuu and send to quinaveere@yahoo.com  or the cop of facebook .. which is just circle of prophets should see a ring with fire and the name ..
thanks everyone love frost ..

this year we turn cazic pink 8)

Freelance Ramblings / OMG yes .. DON"T take it personal
« on: November 12, 2010, 07:44:46 PM »
OK guys yes i just posted something yesterday .. with my normal pazaz ( however you spell that ) but i held back then .. today i got up and was watching the biggest looser .. i like this show but at the same time it drives me completely nuts. here these folks are playing this .. GAME .. on tv .. and yet it isnt' a game, it is thier lives. these folks need to change or die. Like any bad habbit, these folks have ignored the problem for a long long time. Then they get on this show and have a chance to supper fastly change thier lives for the better. They get the things we all wish we had .. a cook , a maid , and a personal trainer. Then something happens they see 250 thousand dollars and all of a sudden they forget thier lives and start thinking about the GAME . They vote people who worked so hard off of the game becuase they see them being a competitor for the 250. instead of voting off the folks that work less hard they vote off the hardest workers. and with that the words i hate always are said " DON"T TAKE IT PERSONAL "

So you are thinking what does this have to do with EQ .. other then the fact it is a GAME .. well while it hasnt' been said as much out loud i get tired of hearing DON"T TAKE IT PERSONAL in EQ everyday .
NOT PULLING ANY PUNCHES HERE !

I think furro would love to say to those he considers slackers this .. IT IS PERSONAL .. how many of you work really hard at this GAME every night two three hours .. four hours how much of your life do you devote to it. YOUR LIFE omg it is all you have you know. and Yet there is someone who will WAIST your time .. they didnt' bother reading the strat , they didnt' bother comparing thier armor , They didnt' bother bringing the pots they needed .. they didnt' bother to even try to LVL .. they mentioned a LFG a couple times but when they didn't get it they blamed other folks and just logged instead of even trying to get a couple aa's .. or get to the LVL cap ..

well that would be fine if they were always with themselves .. who am i to tell folks how to play the game they want to play. BUT come on folks when you show up to a raid team unprepared for no good reason ! and yeah i know there some good reasons i can list later for ya .. BUT as i stated to many folks this week WE can be on top , if you don't want to bring your A game then fine .. please dont' show up .. Because some of us will take it personal, Waist minutes of our lives isn't OK ..

Why we are in freelance ,
A. we didnt' want to deal with raiding guild drama .. and or  attendance percentagles our jobs our families dont' allow that , BUT we did want to raid and work hard to get that game experiance for ourselves.
B. WE wanted to be with people we actualy like , our friends. That is why i am here i love my guild and i love my friends. A way to be with the majority of my friends and guild is to raid with freelance. i wouldn't help with the team if i didnt' want to at least try to give the people i love the same oportunity in game that i wanted to have.

Um do you all think that some of us coudln't move to a big TOP of the line team .. BULL CRAP .. lets take me for example i have a lot to work on but folks i say one word .. CLERIC .. yeah i hate to say that but my class alone would get me an upper leg on getting into some of the raiding guilds or teams that i could go into if i wanted to be there.

I Don't think some folks realize what a raid leader or even a class officer puts into putting these things on for who oh yeah YOU all ..
GUYS FURRO runs raid sick , COP officers run raids sick
we have been running raids and had a trash can close by so we can puke in it. ( i know some of you are saying man is just a game, yeah i know but that is the commiment to our friends we have put forth, even in a game imagine if you lived in the same town with us what we would do as your friend )
we run them we are tired , we run them when we dont' get anything out of them in the way of gear wise. we run them regardless. you try it .. YEAH i said it you try it. come up with strat .. try to make sure it goes on a website .. try to motivate folks look at things from every angle .. take time out of your life to put others first. it isn't an easy job ..

just look at what folks do on here .. FURRO .. every single stupid strat here he took the time to hand tailor for Freelance
BUMKUS spent his limited time puting up triggers , writing up how to use them , running parses to show folks how to maximise their dps ,
SOME of us run the same missions over and over again to make sure folks have thier progression up .. we schedule time to do it with folks that have hard schedules ..

and yet i still see folks who show up can't even play thier class right or were bored so they bring endless alts to raids. i want to make this clear i am not against alts, but a team must be focused .. and a toon must be a benefit to a team or folks you are waisting your own time as well as ours. if your toon isnt' where it should be you can't contribute you spend the raid dead and  with the possiabitly of taking an item away from a toon that might need it and does do a lot of work to keep themselves current.  Whats worse is a few folks like this can wipe a raid .. a hand full of slackers cause us to loose the event , causes us to loose numbers and grinds the team to a halt. and then that same slacker tells me .. omg he has the audacity to tell me .. they are moving to another team becuase they want to be hard core .. no that isnt' what it is .. what they are really saying to me is this .. " i toke what i wanted from you all i didnt' learn and now i want to stair climb to steal from another team. and while we might think .. oh yeah .. good ridence it was still a huge waist of everyone's time. then .. i get " Hey it was nothing personal " .. OMG YES IT WAS YOU WAISTED MY LIFE " .. folks everything is a choice of what you do with the short time on the planet you have .. you choose to play EQ .. we are real people behind the computers and we dont' want our lives waisted.

so i know this wasn't my usual fluffy we can do it speach but i think it needed to be said. you all want to send me hate mail do so ..
now bear in mind i didnt' mean folks who have legit probs or yeah made an actual mistake and are remorseful for it. that is forgiven we love eachother .. but I take the time to yell at my kids when they need it SO i am taking the time to yell at you all becuase i love ya to ..

SO take this PERSONAL ..
Get on the ball
THERE IS NO REASON For us not to be in Bigger content.
I want to see prepared folks at the raids .. people who want to consume the content .. farm what we need to go to the bigger and next lvl .. YOU Have the tools you need dont' blame others if you aren't geting it done .. THis SIte has all the info you need on your class and anything else you freaking need for the raids.
GUYS i am not perfect no one is .. i am not standing here from a stand point of that. i am saying we all need work .. and we all want to do our best if you don't .. then learn to solo .. and give us a break.
and i am not trying to hurt moral i am trying to tell you all that if you aren't doing your very best in game you are waisting your time as well and it will catch up with you. and that YEAH we do take it personal IF our time gets waisted i want to spend my time help folks who want and need the help who have great attitudes and do their home work and that takes five minutes really a day to check on boards and to ask folks in game that are higher then you what to do with thier class ..

SO if you want excuse my fluffy letter from yesterday and read this one ..
NOw MOST FOLKS THAT HIT THE BOARDS ARE NOT THE ONES I AM TALKING TO TO .. SO FOR THOSE THAT YOU KNOW .. THAT DON'T READ THE BOARDS CUT AND PASTE THIS AND SEND IT TO THEM WITH LOVE. 

please send hate mail to PM here or at quinaveere@yahoo.com or .. frostfox in game thanks ..

Freelance Ramblings / UF mini event ,, The first creation
« on: September 17, 2010, 09:13:57 PM »
Hey folks , some might already know COP is trying to help folks finish thier sod , and while the schedule is pretty rough being only two days a week free time from the normal raid schedule we have been making head way on tuesdays and wed.

This past week , we threw together our first Mini UF event the first creation which finishs off the group progression portion of UF.  We want to Run this for everyone who needs and we have designated wed at around 8pm cst  as the time we will be starting on these. if you are convorteum flagged and need this event please feel free to contact me , maglor , holr , or navi .. or send me an ingame e-mail ..
we have a lot of interest in this and many folks have worked hard in freelance and cop to help folks finish thier group progression we expect this to take a few weeks to get everyone done with this event, but hopfully we can cover each person who needs.
We look forward to hearing from folks who can make it .. if this time just isnt' good for you please see me directly so i can try to set an alternate time to help you with it.

Note: this is also ok for requesting anything in UF you might need help for. we try to help everyone and for some folks setting up an alterante schedule is what has to be done. so if this is what you need please be proactive and speak with us about scheduling. we understand it is sometimes hard to carve out time. but is equaly hard to come online when everyone is already busy one night and spam channels for help. is frustrating on both sides becuase we want to help but may not have the time right then. so scheduleing is best for everyone

thank you 8) all so much.

sincerly
frostfox
