Harvesting all those gnoll fangs for faction was a PitA, but the Halas pies were soooooo worth it.

Had Google 'Halas Meat Pie', I've never played Everquisp, but the thought of a 10lb. meat pie makes me drool like Homer...

The citizens of Halas are heavily influenced by nordic/celtic origins. The female models, as most of them, are rather well endowed. It does look somewhat better on them, due to the more massive frame they go on. However, there was another thing which could be referenced by the phrase 'Halas ten pounders...'

I think you owe the pun jar for that one.

Also, there isn't enough facepalm in all the internets. That was the most annoying little...

I did offer to assist you with that annoying little…

I almost miss EverCrack, don't you?

Maybe I should take the time to check out this little Everquest thingy...

(I have been 'attacked' with 54" augmented...weapons. Not as pleasant as you might think.)

It is nothing like what it was when we were playing. Sony is just beating the hell outta a poor dead horse.

Unfortunately true.

They have completely abandoned the in-depth Lore which Verant built into the game and have transitioned to a micro-transacton pay-to-win economy.

They pretty much hand you everything on a platinum platter, with ridiculously easy quests netting you insanely powerful gear for your level (kill five weak and common mobs in the main newbie zone to get FT2 gear), mudflation has caused gear available in the bazaar to be even more powerful, and in general... it has zero interest for me.

Ah, the old 'Let's Dumb It Down So More People Can Win and We'll Make More Money' ploy...
That always works.

Shards of Dalaya is more like how Live used to be, though some of the GM's get a bit power trippy with the names for toons. I could not use any of my Live toon names, apparently because they were against the rules(which I read before giving them the names, and had them several months before they got yanked).

I believe I mentioned without using vulgar language. You know, go all Shakespearian on them. You can get quite insulting without ever once uttering vulgarity.

With you prolific punsters here, that should not be too difficult.

AH... I took that to mean without using one of THE SEVEN words... not as "NO" vulgar words... that's cool either way...
