Thinking about closing down the website completely at the end of the year, I don’t really have any interest in keeping it anymore.  No one seems to be coming by anymore other than spammers that post nasty junk on forums these days as well.

I got tired of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes due to lack of people playing so decided to take a leave from the game and return to Everquest.  Will make a journal for Everquest when I start back up.

Sorry for lack of posts on the website lately.  I’ve been pretty busy.

Thinking about attempting a webcomic on website to see if I’m any good at it, but don’t expect that for a few months down the road though.

Just wishing everyone who observes it to have a great July 4th in a few days from now.  :)

A guildmate of mine from Vanguard posted this on their forums.  It made me laugh, it’s a comic about SOE screwing up server merges.  :)

I’ve been having trouble with Vanguard after about a week when I got my new video card.  At first FPS jumped nicely, and then after the first week it got dragged down below 30FPS for average.  I figured it’d be my PSU not having enough amps on the +12V rail which was a 430W psu with only 17 amps on the +12V rail.   New one is a 500W PSU with 28 amps on the +12V rail.  It boosted my FPS in Vanguard from the -30FPS for average to 50-70FPS range at BALANCED settings!  ^_^  Was worth the buy.

Now I can start adventuring through vanguard once again!  ^_^

Well, got into Vanguard once again for a bit last night and I got to say that I’m impressed with this nice card.  It’s performing much better than the card that died on me which was a Leadtek Winfast A400 6800GT AGP card.  The new card has given me a nice boost in fps ranging between 10 to 15 fps depending where I’m at.  Haven’t upped the graphics in game yet, but plan to so I can see what the game would be like beyond medium settings.

Had worries that it’d end up being my AGP slot, but it wasn’t.  Ended up with a nice Sapphire Radeon X1650pro AGP card with 256mb GDDR3 RAM.

After some tweaking after installing the drivers and control panel, I got Windows XP running smooth again.  Haven’t tried Vanguard yet, but will shortly or tomorrow.

Won’t be able to do much updating to website for a few days until new video card comes.

I had to move to a new server due to old one being shut down.  Hopefully, this’ll be my last.  :)  I finally got around to install a new theme for the website and a new theme for the forums, hope you all like it.
