Whooooooooo! What a question!

I have played, EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, Conan: Age of Hyboria (now Age of Conan), Star Wars Galaxies, Lord of the Rings Online, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, EverQuest 2, ArcheAge, Rift, FF14, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Citizen, and Elder Scrolls Online... those are the ones I can remember right now.

I currently play Elder Scrolls Online daily. I have it on PC and PS4. To me, its one of the best, most well-rounded MMORPGS. However, its "sandbox builds", where you are driving how your character is set up can be intimidating for people who prefer more structured and restrictive builds like World of Warcraft.

On ESO, you purchase the game once and can play online for free (with some inventory limitations; it gets full fast). But the subscription gives you access to all of the DLC up to the most recent expansion, for free. You also get "crowns" each month you are subscribed to by some items from their Crown Store and a limitless "Craft Bag" where all of your collected crafting materials go there, freeing up your inventory for lewtz!

In closing, ESO is an MMORPG that I am into and absolutely love. One that I am looking forward to, if it is ever done, is Star Citizen. It is a gorgeous game that I have played with VDV and my brother and a few others and its not sword n board its space ships and the future.

Let me know if you want to know more, I can drone on for a while about it. 😊

Overwatch and D2 Remastered/D4 when that comes out.

Conan the Barbarian

Robert E. Howard

Conan the Barbarian includes the stories originally written by Howard to be published in the magazine Weird Tales in the 1930s. These include the first published Conan story 'The Phoenix on the Sword' and short stories such as 'The Tower of the Elephant' through to longer tales like 'A Witch Shall Be Born' and the novel 'The Hour of the Dragon'.

Although many have taken up the challenge to extend Conan's adventures over the years, Howard was a master of his craft, lovingly creating a mythical world in which his original masterpieces reign supreme.

Conan the Barbarian is a name known throughout Cimmeria, Brythinia, Turan and all the territories bordering the Vilayec Sea - as well as most countries more familiar to us in the real world. The character has become a multi-faceted industry all on his own with toys, comics, card games, role playing games, TV series, movies (starring Anrold Schwarzenegger), video games and board games making him as famous in our world today as he was in his own world during The Hyborian Age.

About the Author

(1906-1936) Robert Erwin Howard was born and raised in rural Texas, where he lived all his life. The son of a pioneer physician, he began writing professionally at the age of fifteen. Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.

Hello Everyone,

Probably notice I play this game a lot and if you were ever curious about trying it out, its free this week. I find this game fun but it's way better with friends. The game has a lot of cool aspects and I believe is one of the more underrated survival games out there. But, it is definitely not for everyone. So, if you want to see if it's for you, a free week is a good time to try.

Note: The game is pretty large.

Starting today, the 27th of May at 19:00 CEST/ 1 pm EDT, and lasting until Thursday, the 3rd of June at 19:00 CEST/ 1 pm EDT, you can play Conan Exiles for free on Steam!

Gather your friends and play together in the Exiled Lands. Fight vicious beasts, explore dark dungeons, build massive castles, and crush your enemies!

The more monsters and human NPCs everyone kills during the free week, the more new and unique rewards you will unlock. Get your hands on the awesome new Barachan Reiver armor set and Kordovan horse saddle. The unlocked items will be introduced to Conan Exiles for free in the coming months.

Learn more about unlocking the exclusive rewards here.

For fun? Just play a bunch of video games honestly lol though I'm also part of a few organizations that deal more with outside life 😛

SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)
www.sca.org
Basically a medieval re-creation group and we do our own thing and what not. There's royalty and stuff too.

N-SSA (North-South Skirmish Association)
www.n-ssa.org
Not really civil war re-enactment stuff, we 'skirmish' Basically, we dress up and then shoot at targets in competition shoots with period weapons. (Muskets, Carbine, Mortars, Cannons, Revolvers, etc.) All black powder weapons.

As for work .. well, it's an interesting time right now. I'm a Senior Sales Engineer at SolarWinds
www.solarwinds.com
Can't really go into much here because of legal reasons with everything going on lol

That is some cool shit!

I just game mostly. Obviously have my 8th ID here and am getting into scripting custom NPCs/dungeons/events for mods on Conan Exiles.

For hobbies, its games, writing, some drawing, graphic design tinkering, and listening to thought provoking PodCasts/YouTube channels about topics I enjoy and find intriguing. I sometimes go shooting and will hopefully start some camping or historical location road tripping with fam.

For work, I work for a Software Company.

I think only *key* thing here that Garza has forgotten is the ‘Chancla mod’. We’d like to throw “chanclas” from across maps. Thank you 😊 lol

Good band. I'm seeing them in August at Sad Summer Fest.

Huh. Never heard of these guys. Not bad.

Thanks everyone for the praise.

The WTI worked really hard on this one and we are thrilled that you enjoy these!

Most of the automated things you asked for are things that we plan on looking at doing.... the zombie one I need more info on that as in was it players as zombie or bots.... making big maps is do able but will take some time as in few months possibly per map... adding mini maps to maps that don't have one is not plugin based but is something that can be added in.

My memory on this event is a little fuzzy. @Van Der Vechte 8th ID or @VanDoor 8th ID may be able to shed a little light on this as they were integral to running and coordinating the old events we did.

@Garza 8th ID Thanks for the list. The AutoAdmin plugin for the pub has been something I've been churning in my head a bit. Snake also mentioned wanting that sooner or later, so I'll move it to the top of the priority list and see about getting version 1 done this week. Starting with activating/deactivating flags, rotations, and custom map votes (custom map vote will be optionally activated with a convar, so don't panic about if we will use it or not, I just want the option).

As for the HUD changes, I'm guessing that's related some of what Lanier was requesting for an updated advertisement plugin. I'll have to do a bit of digging to see the best way to do that. Would be nice though!

As for the mini-maps, I would LOVE all of our maps to have mini-maps. Particularly, color-coded ones for realism would make things easier for the realism admins and leaders. We should put out a request within the 8th and see if someone is up for the task.

You're welcome and I'm glad to see we're on the same page about a lot of these ideas. 🙂

Hello!

I outlined, below, some ideas that I've thought of for plug-ins or possible mods:

Events/Operations Ideas

• I believe there was a zombie event we used to do for Halloween. I cannot recall if it was a mod, or simply managed by the SE Coordinator.
  • Can make it much cooler with appropriate zombie/retextured models; I think the default ones were used before.
• Some type of "Push" mod (and maps) for CTF (realism based).
  • Could have Cartography (map makers) make larger scale maps where there is a "Conquest/Push" type play style for WWII campaign scenarios.
  • Size could be something on the scale of dod_wismar.

Pub Server Quality of Life

• Bring back bayonets.
  • I want a bayonet plug-in like 1.3 on the rifle classes!
• Automatic map switch on pub if team wins 5 times on the same map.
  • Automating this will help admins focus on behavior in pub instead of managing the technical aspects.
• Add the option to vote for a Custom Map or change time limit into the admin panel options that appear in-game.
  • Automating this will help admins focus on behavior in pub instead of managing the technical aspects.
• Add a plug-in that shows time left on the current map on HUD/UI.
  • Will help admins to have easier visibility on when a map is about to change so they can initiate a custom map vote or other tasks.
• Add ability to see the Current map name (usually have to type "currentmap" to see this) on HUD/UI.

Realism Server Quality of Life

• Add more mini-maps.
  • Not sure that's a plugin or not; could ask cartographers.
• Add ability to see the following information on HUD/UI
  • If current team is on attack or defense (usually have to type "!info" to see this)
  • Current teams win/loss standings (usually have to type "!info" to see this)
  • Current map name (usually have to type "currentmap" to see this)
• Update MOTD to show realism specific rules, regulations, and expectations.

I'm sure I will think of more and can post it here.

Thanks for all your hard work so far, Snake and Smith!
