Used to work, haven't been able to play in months though. If you take your PP and put it in a trade window it removes the weight on it so you can freely move for a few seconds again.

Can confirm. Someone put several hundred thousand PP in a trade for me the other day but did not hit accept [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I asked why and they explained that to be the reason

/note opens up a window that is a notepad for all chars. great if you want to save info on mobs, or track spawn times and so on.

Here's one most people probably don't know:

If you are about to take an inter-zone res, you can cast one buff on yourself. The split second before the spell resolves, click to accept the res. You'll load into the new zone with res effects, plus the buff.

It works within the same zone too, you just need to make sure that you do /corpse first, don't move, and are standing exactly on your corpse before the cleric starts casting the res.

I feel like a failure every time I don't manage to pull this off with clarity.



When you have your ui and character set up a satisfactory way email yourself the ui files as well as the character files. If your computer craps out, you're playing on a new computer, or freshly install it will all be easily accessible and you manage to keep most of your friends list especially if you constantly back up the files.

Has anyone found a way to play eq windowed and be able to run a program as admin?

When this happens my eq screen goes black and only returns if I fullscreen eq. I can then go back to windowed. The issue is sometimes this crashes the game.

Possibly eq play nice is a fix but I find it makes my game feel sluggish even if it is locked at a higher fps.

You simply have to change your UAC settings so they don't dim out your computer when it prompts you.

Move it to the second from the last security setting; it's not going to put you at any more risk, it's just that it wont grab your attention as easily by blacking everything else out, so they consider it a lower security setting.

Also, shift+enter to pop it into full screen and then shift+enter again to back out of full screen will often fix it, however toggling Fullscreen also causes crashes in my client, cannot speak for you on this matter though
Make User Account Control (UAC) Stop Blacking Out the Screen in Windows 7 or Vista

I'm sure most people know this, but you can hold down the CTRL key when selecting single items for tradeskills. For example, if you're making arrows, you need to put an arrow point, arrow shaft, a groove nock, and a cut fletching into a fletching kit. When you select one of each from your stacks of items, just keep the CTRL key down while you click back and forth, and don't let go until all 4 items are in the fletching kit. That way you click CTRL once instead of four times - it adds up.
