I agree there. At least Daybreak is not going after the emu community for Everquest, hty kind of said good job and left the shit alone and while P99 was a shit show of cash for items sales and shit, GMs taking shit off banned characters and selling the stuff for RM..etc. I gues they locked that...

Yeah for sure but where to spend the cash for an upgrade? Im willing to bet that a 1070 will be way better upgrade to his gaming than a proc. Unless you want to go hog wild and drop $800-$1k for the whole thing. I would wait for the next jump intel anyways. Supposedly from what i read the next...

The problem is that you just hit a place where yove basically finished everything. I played on a server like this VoG, took 4 toons leveled them up strictly through dungeons, geared them up as best as I could, etc.Veksar, Sebilis, Shassera, etc. then you just hit a dead end. PoP was the next...

well the whole quest system was broke and fucked. Trying to type certain phrases to have the NPC advance the quest line? Or items that would drop whch were labled no-drop so you knew they were quest items, but you had to look that up in Allakhazams encyclopedia what quest it was for. Wow had...

LOL as soon as POP went live Luclin was deader than dead. Hardly anyone went there save Paludial Caverns which was the new exp hot spot for lv 5-25, that and maybe some high end raids.

Yeah I heard that recently Daybreak went through the item database and made a change to some 50K+ quest items that didnt have a quest tag on them. Basically fixing most of the broken quests in EQ that were broken since day one.

You could not do crawling in EQ anyways because of the level disparity between mobs. Most dungeons had a level range of 10, even 20+ levels between the entrance and the bowels. Some even having raid encounters at the bottom. And while im sure the original intent was to be crawled through...

That first one is funny as hell

Whats with his story? Is this dude for real or is this some shop?

Who even cares about that dead ass game and his characters.

Probably, like i said its been a while.

Ok ill stop.

Hey, never said eq didnt have its faults either. Some of that shit was brutal in eq, like the camping for shit. Its all tradeoffs. Also dying down there and trying to get all your shit back. None of that was necessary. Like i said middle ground.

Thats cool then, wow was the best game ever guys. Never mind then.

That was me pwning peeps with my TUF and windfury in AVs. then like all things, it came to an end quickly, like Warrs and their * (forgot the name of that one weapon they used to pwn with) Arcanite reaper!

Those were all tuned for that nice little 45 min run thorough. Maybe some of the higher level ones like strat and dire maul which were added later were a bit more spread out with their 4-5 bosses and trash that dropped nil, but they were no where near the level of complexity of even Blackburow...

Yes but this was back in 2004? Maybe Im not remembering it correct, but thats what I took away from it. WoW Zyy you must of really loved it, I jjust did not have the same feeling. Aside the PvP the whole thing was a snooze fest. I remember constantly falling asleep at the wheel leveling on those...

None of that shit really mattered though, well maybe in the beginning days, but most of that shit, even blues were all replaced in a few levels by a green or another blue. Then later by dungeon loot and raid and BG loots. Economy was shit, everything save some rare ass .0001% rare drop blues...

Best was a thief on release. Later to be nerfed. But you would sneak around looking for groups grinding and farming. Slowly make your way up to them and steal all their shit. rinse, repeat. Then SB.exe or fucking rubberband your way back to yesterdays game session.

Meh some of that shit I mentioned was there since beginning like a sterilized world and the shit tier questing with dick for rewards.

This is why I said BETWEEN EQ and WoW. No one wants classic again, at least I dont. Aint no one got time for that. On the PvP front i do agree with you. I do enjoy me some PvP sprinkled in for sure open world, battlegrounds, shit like AVs were fucking epic, the classic AV. But the arena crap it...

Anyway, the whole point to this is maybe we do need to take a step back a bit to the glory days of mmorpgs and rediscover some of that lost magic. Im hoping someone does it right again, maybe this game who knows, but there has to be a middle ground here somewhere between EQ and WoW that someone...

Could not be social in WoW other than vent or mumble because you were busy mashing buttons like a fucking monkey with no downtime in between.

^^ I still didnt like the solo quest grind. At times I wished for a group and some mindless pulling and slaughtering of some mobs. I kind of agree with you that they did improve some shit here and there. Later to be all blown up out of proportions. @ZyyzYzzy Well whatever, thats what I took...

And that lasted for what? 6 months? Then they "normalized" everything. My point still stands. The game was devoid of any life outside the raid end game. I will give you the pvp though, that shit was fun while it lasted, then they added the battlegrounds which was cool. One of the few things...

I should of worded it differently. I think it lead to the destruction of the genre. And why is so? Because the last great hope is fucking Pantheon, lol. Ill give you a few of the many reasons.... Solo questing. This was such a fucking breakthrough at the time. Most of us old EQ folks were like...

First, i will say that as a game designer of a particular genre of game, you should be doing your homework and at least casually checking out the competition, thats for sure. Second, I will disagre with you on one point. WoW did in fact singlehandedly destroy the entire genre of mmorpg. So at...

Lol, youre fooling yourself that a prog server would not be $$.

Supposedly they are going to do another server that allows boxing. Also why not try another server like vog if you like to box? The thing that makes p99 special is the no box rule where people are encouraged to group. Same with daybreaks phinny server. This is why they are high pop. Start...

I dont know about you guys, but since original, P99 and a few more emu servers over the last 17 yrs im done with classic -PoP. I want the same just in a new game.

What was the berserker?

I agree, Make new EQ just with less shit like the old EQ, kind of like 80% EQ and 20% wow. I bet many would of settled with 90% old EQ, with a new graphics facelift, better quest system, and maybe adding in a sprinkling of instancing for some of the end game shit. And they would of made cash...

I would suggest basic core exercises, like squats, bench, dead lift, standing up barbell row, over the head military press. Maybe squeeze in some curls in there to get blood flowing to those guns again.

Power corrupts.

Just because someone likes to sport around guns and does not agree with tight gun control has fuck all to do with being a progressive. Shit you could be a fiscal conservative and still be a progressive on social issues. This is not a black and white world, bro. But all colors of gray.

In the rickshaw, maybe.

Meh, youre pegging them too low in WIS and INT, I agree about the DEX, I missed that.
