I don’t think a 52 Monk solo’d the classic dragons until @qxx did it on Tecknoe in like Prophecy of Ro-SoF timeframe.

Correct. Teckno Destrocto was the first monk to ever solo Nagafen. It was on the Vazaelle server. He used a metric ton of potions.

I remember this back in the day. There used to be a clip of the thing on YouTube but can’t locate now.

Not gonna lie I'm loving coming back and I think the last time I logged in was maybe 2006. I started on Teek which was cool but I changed over to Fangbreaker and it's been a lot more fun for me, much slower XP and limitations still, and PoP is opening up in a few weeks, so it's prime time. One thing that surprised me is the community is actually full and popping from what I've seen. Obviously noob zones are still whatever's but there is a solid core playing, which has me hyped to push into the raid end, I have a lot of free time these days =D

I've bitched a ton about EQ on here as of this past year, and swore I would never touch the game again.

Here's the thing though. I do NOT hate EverQuest. I actually really fucking like playing EverQuest.

The only thing that makes me not want to play the game is DBG/DPG. The company is the issue; not the game. And, when you get right down to it, it's not the whole company that is the problem. Its very specific individuals that are in positions of power that never should have been put there because they have no fucking clue how to run a company.

There's a million different things any one of us could point out as bad shit that keeps us from want to support DBG/DPG, but I'll only relate one, and that's the out right corruption that is prevalent on every single server of the EverQuest. Any time you see obvious RMT bots that play 24 hours a day 365 days a year on every server and they are literally protected by GMs in game as well as Admins on the forums (don't you dare point out this is going on because that's "name and shame"... here have a suspension and think about what you did), that is corruption. That's been going on for many, many years in EverQuest, and there is zero indication that it will ever end.

Replace the corrupt employees and stop making fucking retarded decisions, and people like myself will come back to the game. Until then... I have no need to play a game where I buy the game, buy the expansions, pay the monthly subscription (no I don't use Krono), and still have a 50/50 chance of getting a suspension or ban on my account simply for upsetting the wrong corrupt employee. I want basic expectations of being able to continue playing what I pay for. I learned the hard way years ago when I ate a weeks suspension for SIMPLY BEING IN THE WRONG ZONE AT THE WRONG TIME because some GM's friend was pissed off that someone had the camp he/she wanted. Fuck that.

Do I miss EverQuest? Yes.

But, I'm not retarded enough to go back and pay a company that will wipe their ass with my account anytime they feel like it.

I'm not sure what Runescape did differently than EQ over 25 years but have to give them props. I've never been a Runescape person but just out of curiosity, I checked out this video because it spoke about a Roadmap so I watched it. They seem to be willing to address mistakes, make the right changes, embrace community voice, and also move the game forward. Again, I know next to nothing about Runescape but I wish videos like this would come out from Daybreak. Who knows what kind of game they would have if they had an updated EQ with a lot of QoL pieces addressed.
