Me being a EQ fanboy of old days, I though the whole WOW thing itself was a watered down version mmo. Didnt really appreciate it until later when I tried it for like my 2nd or 3rd time when I was done with the whole EQ thing.

Fuck. I’ll admit that I would probably be grinding away Classic - TBC - Wrath in perpetuity if my one year in Wrath Classic told me the social aspect is mostly dead and guilds are retarded with expectations and lean so mercenary.

I have limited time as a dad gamer, but I ran a dk and regularly topped our meters as Unholy and Frost and outdid our other DKs but I didn’t want to have 2-3 alts and grind runs each night and live online. So hell - I guess I was part of the problem. Can’t go home.

I fucking loved those games. (And Legion).

Forst/Unholy was great... blood was godmode in beta...but they killed that so fast. I was a dad gamer during those days, the wife started playing (whew....) and I would almost always get yelled at for "U know ur wearing your pvp grear right?" because I was lazy and would not have 2 sets or care to change or really need to... I still performed at or above the "needed" DPS etc of a DK in the situation at hand - my wife loved to PVP in the battlegrounds, even if she...was...not that great... so we would always have those points more than the stuff in PVE- so I was always PVP geared lol

Classic WoW is the only game that has come close to original EQ. TBC onwards introduced game systems that deviated too much into non-MMO territory and into ARPG.

40… while not as big as EQ still seemed somewhat “big”… 20…10mans? Bah…

Classic WoW was something, almost had it back in Litchking…as TBC should not have existed….

The “story” many wanted was to continue WC3… WoW classic reestablished the world and got it to be a “living world” and did so well… but then it was time to get back to “the story” and threat at hand… oh…wait…hold up…we gatta go to stupid draenor or whatever and no the blacks wont just go back to Africa or even the Liberia we made… i mean orcs wont go back to Outland even after its been “saved” because reasons….

It's something easily forgotten to time... WC3 and WC3:FT was setting up the storyline for WoW Classic to go straight into WoTLK. There was zero reason really to have BC after Classic.

EQ literally let you throw hundreds of people at bosses - the only downside was your raid turned into a slideshow. To break into the elemental planes in PoP, most of the server decided to work together to drop Rallos Zek. There was like 150 people there - I spent the entire fight looking down at the floor because it was the only way to not crash. Boss died in like 2 minutes lol
