I had a real itch to get on here, but after reading all this shit and watching a bunch of twitch streams of EQ, I think my itch has subsided. All this drama and KSing and shit, jesus christ. Game has changed. People have become EQ zealots it seems. If you KS'd shit on the original servers you were fucked. You better have been the best soloing class possible, because you weren't getting anything done at the high end ever again. I went to EQ Twitch channel to see some actual gameplay and get the feels, but it's all people leveling their 6th box character or 6 people sitting in a camp staring at a wall not talking. Maybe Kunark would open shit up since it had more places to be other than just SolB/LGuk, but man...
Wish I could justify 10 dollars a month to hit 'a' for 15 seconds a time while watching TV and trying to collect nostalgia loot, but I just can't.
Hah hyperbole much?
This server already has enough dramatic crybabies it's for the best you don't play.
Yeah reputation doesnt matter much here. Attrition can be thanked for that, and name/race/sex changes + account to account transfers.
So he is old? Knew it.
I hailed him first, while he was invis and waited a few and no response. There's literally a place at AoF that people waiting for camp sit at, but he was chilling 2 feet from spawn, and AoF auto-aggros anyone nearby. So nah. He also messaged me on his alt after a_skeleton_02 made the faux-Xevy post and called me a scrublord. I'm probably just going to turn off my account now.
Is there a large majority of people who havent played eq before on this server? The amount of suck is astounding. Had a SK who all he did was complain, said he sucked at pulling and when asked "did that cleric buff you before logging," replied "Oh I dont usually check that stuff."

Learning game mechanics well enough to be a good puller makes a huge difference. One of the few roles in early EQ that takes actual skill.I need to play a puller - I want to understand it better, because the difference between a good one and a bad one is huge.
Biggest issue I've had is with guys bringing 6+ and parking right on top of me (ench) when I'm standing as far away from the MA as possible to avoid getting mezzed by my own AE.
I move just enough to get away from the AE radius and the healer drops a superior heal on the puller because his health has plummeted to 90%, and then all hell breaks loose. I end up mezzing myself anyway, healer dies, wipe recovery.
Tank pulling is for boxers not for real groups!
Sure, but in that group he's not really the tank and literally anyone can pull.If you have 2+ charm pets it is fine. Pets tank. Tank pulls.
