    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Fell asleep Friday afternoon. Got out of bed Sunday. Tested positive. Breathlessness and extreme tiredness with a low tier, persistent cough, have been my symptoms, largely. Entire family got it - I was last - so I'm last to shift it. So far, so good. Triple vaxxed.

    Aha! Rare spawn, someone older than me! That deserves a special welcome. I hope you find the right home here.

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    Yeah I've seen a lot of videos running really stripped down, and therefore quiet, Eclipses. I agree. If you're in a dogfight, you're doing it wrong.

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Yeah it is. Taken a really hard look at it. There appears to be a query over bandwidth with, over time as the service becomes more popular, speeds gradually slowing. I'm tempted but I've not taken the plunge.

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Thanks! Had one before but it was a three up, three down. Now, thanks to Covid, I don't need to be within daily commute of London (just occasional) and boy, does your money go further if you head north (specifically, Cambridgeshire!).

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    Eclipse. Interesting to see it mentioned so often. It's the lazy farmer's high value bounty ship. And that's why I love it! Traded up from Freelancer MIS. Love that ship but as I have a Banu Defender, Connie Andromeda and Vanguard Sentinel with Harbinger CCU I couldn't see a reason to keep...

    Looking to buy something fairly specs-y

    I'm looking to buy a new computer. My old AMD Ryzen 7 1800X eight-core processor, and 1080 Ti just don't cut it any more. I'm looking for some target specs - motherboard, GPU etc. I'm in the UK and I'm looking for something that will last. I guess I'll be spending £2-3k then. Any suggestions...

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Just resurrecting this thread. I did move to the nice house. It's one of the reasons I've been so quiet on the forums recently! 😁 We watch movies, and play online just fine - as I'm not a streamer an my wife isn't a huge consumer of telly we've had zero problems. Belated thanks (again) for all...

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Cheers. The upkeep will be an issue. The cost appears covered, there's an array of solar panels across the pool roof and we'll be putting more into the grid (and getting paid for it) than we take out!

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Nope. I can get it where I live now - but not to the backwater I'm moving to!

    Advice please! Moving house, but there's a problem

    Hey all. I'm due to move to my dream home in the UK. It's huge. Has a pool. An annexe for my daughter. A huge games room. A nice garden. My issue is that to get all this, I've had to head out into the countryside. At the moment, living near the south coast of England, my internet looks like...

    New World MMO! - Server East Coast - Valhalla - Covenant

    Well that's a bugger. Though I suspect I can find better things to do on my birthday (August 31)!.

    New World European Servers

    Thanks! I feel old.. . And yes. I was trying to stir up some interest. Not a huge success so far - will find somewhere to hang my hat while I dabble in NW.

    New World European Servers

    Missed this! But I just became a grandad (in my forties!) and the wee lad was over which beats any screen time (who knew?). I'll try to drop in over the coming week. Still curious about whether we might have an EU-based New World guild, or if anyone has a solid EU guild going.
