Okay now imagine there isn't personal loot and you're grouping with friends, if you had any to group with.

Can you imagine killing Efreeti lord 600 times? Probably not great.

Okay now imagine this instead of 10 tiers there was 3 tiers and the game wasn't designed be an endless artificially long grind to extract as much money from you as possible, but was instead designed around whats actually fun.

This is really hard to imagine, a Terribly Hard Job to do, but hopefully someone will think of something.

It's predictable and sad. 90% of the server will be ALMOST awesome but the emu devs need to personally shove themselves in so they'll deliberately fuck with it. The other 10% will be just whats left of actual everquest.

When was the last time we had fun though? All I've been doing for 20 years is chasing the dragon with my rose colored glasses on.

I personally think it will be fun. The real question I have at this point in my life is, will it be enough fun for me to devote my free time to it long term?

I am finding this to be more and more of a valid question with all MMORPGs these days. I am starting to find that I just don't have the drive to play everything all the time anymore. In fact, the only MMORPG that truly holds my interest long term anymore is Lord of the Rings Online, and even with it, I find myself losing interest every so often and coming back to it a few weeks later to get going again.

Maybe the reality is that I have out grown MMORPGs. I'm old. Get off my lawn.!!!!

That all to say that I do THINK I will like EQL a lot, but I am not sure I will like it enough to pay a box price AND a monthly subscription. Time will tell of course.

Up front plus sub is a dead model, IMO. They aren’t going to get many people to do that. I’d do a box cost, but the subscription part turns me off, a lot.

That said, I’d like to complete a few Kunark epic quests, run Hate and Fear again, and socialize with FOH peeps.

I last had fun on EQ when I played a week ago and got my new 6box team of free heroic characters up to level 125 in live.

If a game isn't fun, don't play it. There's so many games out there.

It's also OK to like enough to play once in a while then unsub until they release a fun update/xpac. That's how the TLP model works. It's how Diablo and WOW and FFXIV work. If EQL sticks the landing and is fun enough to play, it will be fun enough to put in whatever rotation you have. Play until it stops being fun, then bail.

I will be playing this year's TLP at some point, but probably not until POP. They seriously screwed the pooch on that one.

Going down the rabbit hole now, lol. I have to admit, this all seems pretty sweet.

Some nice changes. I was a bit disappointed when I heard that they removed higher leveled mobs from locations that were much lower level. The example given was Befallen's entrance that had the roamer that occasionally came up to the top. I always considered that part of the game. I hope they do not place Griffons and Sand Giants in "Safer" areas. The simple change to negative buffs is something that should have been done decades ago. Having to deal with a negative buff after the mob is already dead was always a stupid idea. The mob dies and so should the magic the mob used.

I think the class unlock is fine, its just normal gameplay in Sky. The race one is definitely retarded but it also only matters to the mentally ill retarded people who do shit like the Insane in wow.

Dunno. All races and classes should be available from day one. Maybe it’s because currently you can only have one character per server and to unlock more you have to do achievements or w/e?
