So what examples of broken unbalanced EQ are there? CH was neither broken or unbalanced.

Damn I wish I played that. I liked the EQ PVP servers when they were new.

Like what? You don't want balance you want homogenization. May as well play an FPS?

No way, Eq dungeons are way better! And have other groups and crazy shit happening, invisible walls, traps, you need two types of invis to explore and neither work 100%. No brainer. Also what item or spell bloat in EQ? Most people hardly had any items at level 10, maybe some cloth. By 20 just...

I don't even know if a new EQ would work. People are so different now and I don't think many people would accept being kicked in the balls like EQ did to people over and over. But I just think it is sad when someone talks about going to a KOOL DUNGEON in Skyrim or something which is little more...

I agree, I don't even think of Skyrim and Witcher or the nu-Fallouts as RPGs. And any RPG goodness they had in earlier versions is being removed. Yet so many people today think Skyrim is the pinnacle of RPGs. The best RPG. The one to beat. The biggest selling etc. Or the newcomer hipsters say...

Well for a start there was about a year of fun classic EQ before CH was even a thing. So I don't respect your drama queen rewriting of history. Also CH chains didn't exist to soloers and groupers, it was just a raid thing. Also most of what people did in EQ was emergent gameplay. They never...

I still play EQ sometimes it was a masterpiece. But my point is that games are constantly stealing each others successes and ideas and cloning each other and competing with each other. But MMORPGs are like forgotten history and too many lessons are being lost that RPGs today should have learned...

I loved CH chains, the game was full of emergent gameplay like that. They balanced around it or nerfed stuff if it needed. It was really good. The balance is that they always kept the game challenging. Even when you learned the game and it got easier, it was still hard to do things at your...

I don't think it matters because the price is not much different. I'm more concerned with how I spend the next 100+ hours or whatever. EQ was mind blowing, I would have paid more if I had to. I liked a few classic RPGs but they are so far behind now. The big MMOs of today are so huge, so much...

I don't think I have been before. My name means orange in spanish so it might be that :D I feel the same as you about EQ! It was a pinnacle. The community was amazing, your story is great. My friend found love in the game too but it didn't last sadly. Other players were small business owners and...

Really how come? Do you group a lot?

I understand it very well! In modern games bad balance means slaughtering enemies that are stuck and rocks and spells that broken etc. EQ was not like that. Nobody could solo easily, and even in groups it was a challenge. So when someone achieved getting an item from a dungeon it was a legit...

Yes everything gets data mined now. I think I was lucky to have a recent upgrade with Vanguard. It ran ok for me but still got to <20 fps sometimes. I guess for most people it was just unplayable. Tragic. I always preferred EQ so I played that instead. But I think Vanguard would be the best MMO...

I don't think you understood the post.
